All rooms are air conditioned and have a telephone, internet access and satellite television. Most have a mini-bar as well. The decor is simple yet stylish, with iron beds and traditional Italian furniture. External steps lead up to the rooms' wooden doors and this terracotta-coloured hotel has real character. Friendly staff are available to offer advice on local attractions and make sure you have everything you need. Breakfast is served in an intimate room and, for evening dining, the traditional Trastevere quarter, near the River Tiber, ha plenty of good restaurants and bars. Parking is free and buses and subway trains go frequently into the town centre/downtown Rome where you can visit the Colosseum, Pantheon and Foro Romano (Roman Forum) or simply enjoy the nightlife.

The Vatican City is a kilometre away and easy to get to by bus. Home to the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Pieta and the Vatican Museums, it is one of the highlights of Rome and, from the top of St Peter's Basilica, you can see panoramic views of the Eternal City. Rome's largest Park, Villa Doria Pamphili is a short walk away from this Rome hotel; the Casino del Belrespiro at its centre is lined with beautifully kept gardens and citrus trees. Dotted with Baroque fountains, it is ideal for a picnic or stroll.
