The hotel looks pretty cool but isn't too good. We didn't get new bedlinen for 4 nights and only once we received new towels. There was no handle to hang the shower on, so you had to keep it in your hand all the time. As said before the interior is apart and the ceiling can be seen on the picture. The host Cristina is very friendly and helpful and she knows a lot about Rome. She has god restaurant tips too! There is free internet in the hotel untill 10pm. Not that you have much time to check it though, since Rome is pretty big, and you want to explore the city, so checking internet is not your main priority ;-) In the morning you can ask for some free coffee or tea with a croissant, which will be served in the room.
Directions: Only 7 minutes walk from Termini train station and 3 minutes walk from metro Castro Pretorio, which is 3 metro stops from Colosseo. Hotel is situated in a good neighbourhood north of the train station
