4I had heard some bad reviews after booking the hotel and so was quite apprehensive but I have to say, the hotel is nice. Okay, so it's not right in the centre of Rome but looking at some of the properties situated there, that was a god-send! The staff were friendly, bi-lingual (speaking up to four different languages) and very helpful.
There were tours bookable from the reception whereby you were picked up from the hotel and transported to the coach company who did the tours. There were some very reasonable prices - the one me and my sister did was 35 euros each and it took you around ancient rome - the roman forums, the colleseum, etc etc. Definitely worth while, especially as you get transported back to your hotel at the end of it and would be cheaper than getting taxis around the different places and getting your souvenirs.
The only downfall I have to say with the hotel was the lack of privacy due to the thin walls. I could hear people taking showers next door and often you could hear people mumbling when talking and laughing also. Its ok if you want your hotel to be a base for sleeping and eating (they have a nice restaurant - fairly priced italian cuisine) but I wouldn't recommend to those of you who want to be central or who don't like any noise or disturbance.
