2.6Our first impression was awful- tiny lift, very smoky reception, tiny and tired looking room with no air conditioning. However, the place was clean, the sheets were immaculate, the people were friendly, the view was very good (over tree tops towards distant buildings), the area was reasonably good (right next to the British Embassy, although quite far from tourist spots, although buses were available), and the smokiness in the reception disappeared, a fan was provided in our room which was enough (and we used the stairs). If they dropped the price a bit more and I needed somewhere cheap in Rome, I would use again, but the Euro/GBP is not the best at the moment. It was mainly used for business travel- not surprising as the area around is more financial/ government than tourist sites. There are some better, but probably more expensive, hotels in the area.
