Overall a great place to stay for the location if nothing else, you can walk to all the key tourist attractions in a variety of directions (Colossseum, Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon). And on top of this, the immediate area is great for restaurants, bars, shops, etc - a great night time vibe, not too touristy, busy with a mix of locals and tourists, we ate and drank at some great places. As other people have mentioned, this is more of a guest house than a hotel so just need to bear that in mind. Check in is fine, just be sure to arrange your time of arrival in advance. Rooms are nice and comfortable, I wouldn't spend much chill out time here (in terms out our room anyway) as it was quite small and a little dark, but the bed was super comfy and a great shower, also who needs to chill at the hotel when you are in Rome. There is just an espresso machine, kettle and tea bags in the reception area with little plastic cups. No milk provided but there is a shop over the road. It would be a nice touch to add actual porcelain cups to the rooms etc (for us English tourists anyway!) nice friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Be aware there are steps up to the main door, and also some rooms are a further flight of stairs up as well. Whenever you leave or arrive you will always find someone having their photo taken on the stairs outside as it is quite pretty!
