The reviews we read of this property under-reported it's unappealing qualities. It was not just "inexpensive", it was the worst place we stayed and I would never recommend it. The neighborhood was not as nice as I would have liked. It was the only time in Rome that I saw a RAT outside! My first feeling of concern was when we checked in. (Let me say that the staff were very nice. I had no concerns with them.) Unfortunately, the hotel has no "lobby" to speak of. It's office is a walk-down room, about 2 doors down from the entrance to our room. To get to our room, there was a large locked door that led into a smaller hallway with another locked door. It was pitch-black with a light that turned on with motion for about 10 seconds. A young man took us to our room, where we had two small single beds, one outlet, a tiny bathroom with no place to hang our toiletries bags or towels, and a radiator that turned on at 6 pm and barely kept the room warm.
There was only one pillow per bed, and when I asked for extra, it seemed an imposition. Furthermore, the linens on the beds were unacceptable. There were cheap covers on top, and underneath were two mismatched blankets. My husband's bed had an old comforter that literally looked like something I would give away at a garage sale for a pet bed. My bed had an old wool blanket that was too short for the bed. Also, my sheets had marks on them (probably stains). The back of the door looked like it had been kicked in and then badly repaired.
