We loved the location of this hotel. Because of its proximity to Santa Maria Maggiore and Termini station, we could get literally anywhere in the city by train, bus, or hop-on-hop-off bus. The basilica is gorgeous at sunset and lit up at night and a trip to the roof bar is a must, although I would not recommend the restaurant which was overpriced with terrible service. The front desk staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel is older and a little shabby and the rooms are tiny, but charming and very clean. If you plan on spending a lot of time in your room or want to be in the middle of the Roman nightlife, this is not your place. We loved that it was tucked away a bit and thoroughly enjoyed our daily cappuccino with a view of the basilica.
