I stayed in this hotel for 8 nights - part work/ part holiday. The first night I was given a small, dark, musty room with a queen size bed which was really 2 smaller beds put together with a noticeable joiner going down the middle of the bed. The room was so small that I thought I was given a room that had some shared community bathroom out in the hall, but it turned out the bathroom was the size of a closet. I've never seen a shower with a trifold sliding door but that was the only way to fit this shower in this small bathroom. I'm 5'1" and very petite, and even I had trouble showering in the tiny shower in this bathroom without constantly hitting my elbows on the wall. The shower head was old and had mildew damage on the head - and smelled it too. The carpet looked dirty and spotted - there was also an area that had an iron burn on it. Looking out the window I could see the adjacent park and all of the fire escapes of the hotel - it was a very gloomy, jail like view. The worst part was that the room's heater was not working, and as they had no more non-smoking rooms that night, they could not move me. With 30 degree weather outside, and being pregnant I had to bundle up to go to bed that night. Breakfast every day at this hotel was pretty much the same - the usual continental selection with some hot selections - scrambled eggs, fried eggs, soggy bacon, and little sausages. Nothing very tasty but was edible. The internet access they advertise on their hotel description is actually no longer available - they have signs at all the computers stating that due to new anti-terrorism laws that the free internet access was no longer avaiable. The paid Vodafon wifi access in the area is very weak and drops frequently. The rooftop with the view that's advertised is not accessible except in the summer months. The room that I was switched to was a much better room - it was a real queen - not two beds pushed together. And the bathroom was of reasonable size with a shower/tub - no musty issues in that room. Good view of the collosseum. If I had been given this room from the beginning I would have rated this place a little higher - though even in the hallways of the hotel, the carpet is noticeably spotty and as another reviewer had put it - the walls are like cardboard and you can hear all of your neighbors and hallway noise - bring ear plugs. This place gives the bare minimum that you would expect at a motel in the U.S. - no concierge (reception can't even recommend a restuarant in the neighborhood), luggage assistance or hotel restaurant - just a place to sleep which hopefully if you're lucky - you get one of the decent rooms that they have. We walked to all the major areas of Rome from here - 2 minutes to the Colloseum; 5 to the Capitoleo; a brisk 15 minute walk to Pantheon; 30 minutes to the Vatican.
