Good

The cleanliness, the service and the nicest niceness of it all makes up for the somewhat not so nice neighborhood, but having said that one is very close to all modes of transportation, so I will return on my next trip to Rome
The staff are nice and approachable, easy to talk to, especially of you have questions. The single room that I have is quite small but tidy, for me it is efficient and enough for resting for I mostly was out of the hotel. I just wish there is at least a bag breakfast for those who go out early. Also, it is a little bit hard to find, but good to have the the telephone number in advance for they are responsive.

Clean room, very kind staff, close to train station, and bus lines, and a good breakfast. 24 hour reception. My room was a bit simpler than the one in the presentation. Keep in mind this is a 2-star hotel, so the Excellent rating is given from a value for money for a 2-star hotel. Will for sure return, next time in Rome.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
Easy walk to the bus. We bought bus tickets across the street at the store which also sold some bakery and deli items.
Large grocery store next door which also had a hot deli.
Restaurants were within two blocks.
There is not airport shuttle availability any more. Buy the train station is like 5 minutes away. The staff super nice and the rooms are comfortable and clean!
Staff was courteous and helpful. Room was clean. Price was low. Location was conveniently located near public transportation. Soon after I purchased the room on Expedia, I received a message from the hotel suggesting I upgrade to one of their recently renovated rooms for 10 euros more per night. I did so and was happy with the choice. The one negative was the weak water pressure in the room that made showers challenging but still possible.
Cleen and nice room, amazing and serviceminded staff. Close to trainstation, bus and tram. Close to shopping. Very nice balcony. Had share bad, no problem. The shower was fine, no problem with the water (like someone is writing). The elevator was a little scary.
Excellent stay whilst in Rome - from great service (someone always on desk 24/7) to spacious and clean room with en suite bathroom. Excellent amenities - lots of places to eat within walking distance, public transport on doorstep and not too far from tourist attractions.
Good value overall. Only couple minor downsides - bathroom lock not working and shower thermostat was temperamental.
Not a great looking neighborhood, not a great exterior of the hotel, but once we checked in was great. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and very affordable.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was nice. The staff was happy to call a taxi for me each time I needed one.
If you are not staying in the historic center of the city this is a great alternative area. Only a short walk to the train station and stops for all major areas of the city. Great concierge help for booking ticketed sites. All staff very helpful and pleasant.
Staff were helpful and professional. Room looks nothing like in the photos -- or perhaps it did 20 years ago. Outdated, poor condition and poorly maintained. Only a drizzle of water from the shower; one of the sink taps not working; uncomfortable bed; shutters barely open; window rattles. I'd intended to take breakfast, but didn't trust it on seeing the condition of the room.

Liked: Amenities
The AC unit, bed, bathroom, balcony, and information desk were all great and we had a wonderful time. Once we figured out the public transportation it was an easy ride. If you’re on a budget, I would definitely recommend this place and will likely be coming back in future.
The bed offered to us was extremely comfortable and the other room facilities were upto the mark too. However, the hotel does not a pleasant view from the room. Also, it takes about 40 minutes from the city centre to get here if the bus arrives on time
Positive : good location, welcoming staff, clean room
Negative : noisy cleaning staff in the morning, difficult to sleep after 8am, the shower was not working properly. You had to press a button continuously for the shower head to spray water. The shower drain does not empty properly and the air freshener does not smell very good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The water pressure was very low and only sometimes got hot water. Also, the building is outdated, and was very weird to get into the building. You have to buzz into the “apartment” building then take an elevator up to the 7th floor. Also, hard to sleep because it’s so noisy, lots of honking on the street, construction, sounded like the window was open but it wasn’t. However, the location was good because it was close to the bus stop and train station.
