This hotel came as part of a package we'd booked and while I was initially a little concerned about distance from many of the main historic sites, it worked out perfectly. Hotel Giulio Cesare is in a 1916 villa and only a few blocks from Piazza Del Popolo and Villa Borghese. The rooms are tiny (as are most in Rome hotels) and have very high ceilings but are clean, quiet, have comfortable beds and you won't be in one much anyway, right? It has most of the amenities you'd expect with a European 4-star except for a restaurant but you can get good snacks and drinks in the bar or garden. They do have an elevator. No pool. Clean, safe neighborhood with a residential feel and probably quieter than more popular parts of the centro storico.
It's about 15 minutes on foot to the Spanish Steps or the Vatican and we found the 1-mile or so distance to the Forum, Colosseum, etc. a great walk as there's so much to see along the way. There is a Metro station very close to the hotel but we never used it - had too much fun wearing out our sneakers! I'd choose this area again if I'm lucky enough to get to come back. :)
We loved it for the excellent breakfast (included) and wonderful garden next to the bar. The walled garden was large and gently lit after dark - perfect for that last nightcap before calling it a day. Breakfast was the best we had in Italy and more than enough to keep us going until an early dinner; eggs, bacon, pastries, cereals (cold and hot), juices, etc. Hotel personnel - especially bar and breakfast staff - were terrific.
