Budget hotel. Very small, basic room with en suite bathroom and small balcony which might be useful to smokers. Room contained a wardrobe with hangers, a desk and chair, refrigerator, TV, limited shelf space and a single bed. Bathroom was relatively modern. The door on the shower folded inwards and the small cubical size made opening and closing it a slightly difficult manoeuvre when stood in the shower! Everything worked and the room was serviced every day provided (as is reasonable) you vacate the room before 10.30am. Cleanliness was fine.
On the negatives...it can be noisy. All the rooms face into the reception area so conversations and doors slamming are just metres away from your bed. However, noise did not persist until very late. Accessing the hotel might seem non-standard. It actually occupies the 5th floor of a building so after turning off the street into a communal yard and then turning again to stairs / lift, you need to get to the the 5th floor and then, if the reception door is closed, ring a bell. Thankfully, there are signs to follow. The lift is very dated with manually operated internal and external doors. It works but some might find it a little scary!
On location, it's around 10 to 15 minutes' walk from the main train station and nearest Metro. It is about 30 minutes' walk from the Central area (Coliseum and Roman Forum).
Provided you note that this is a one star hotel at a budget price (for Rome), you won't be disappointed.
