This hotel was relatively inexpensive, and what I'd describe it as functional as a place to stay for a week in Rome. It was clean, and well positioned as place to walk to most of the common tourist sites, such as the Vatican, the Pantheon, Colloseum and Trevi Fountain! It would not win any prizes for its external appearance, looking a bit like a shop front, but the reception staff were most helpful on arrival, providing us with a map, and took time to indicate the hotel location and drawing around the location of key tourist features! The restaurant in the basement serves a reasonable breakfast, sufficient to set you up for the day! But does not serve mid-day or evening meals! You have to get these from local shops or restaurants. If you walk south over the river using the pedestrian bridge,Pont Sisto, it takes you to the main restaurant district, where you can buy a multitude of food types, which was busy, but enjoyable! When we arrived the hotel entrance was located in a quadrangle of apartments with cars parked within. It is in a quiet location, but within easy reach of the local shops and attractions on foot! If you want the Ritz, it's not the place for you, but if you want relatively low cost good quality accommodation within easy reach of Rome's attractions, I'd suggest the MZ Hotel!
