It is a shortish walk from Termini but our printout told us it was in Via Palestrina - and part of the hotel is there - but it was locked up with a sign saying go round to Viale Castro Pretorio.
So round we went. The lobby was very attractive. So was the room. But it was tiny! The bathroom was tinier! The bathtub was for minute people. (So was the lift but that is usual in Italy.)
What troubled me most was that it did not seem to have good fire escapes. There only seemed to be a flight of stairs right next to the lift shaft. We were on the fifth floor. It made me nervous. So I couldn't sleep and I went down to the lobby to read. That was fine. But when I wanted a smoke I had to go out onto the street - and the night porter on the desk was smoking like a chimney. Very annoying.
The breakfast was fine. Better than usual.
When I had tried to read in bed the lamp was situated wrongly and was too dim to be able to read.
Matt didn't get a wink of sleep. Our room fronted onto the road and it was very very noisy.
I don't think we would stay here again.
