The good:
-clean room
-comfy bed
-helpful, English speaking staff
-location (kind of...)

The bad:
-be careful of fraudulent claims on credit card (I was unfortunate to have my credit card fall victim to fraud straight after booking at this hotel. Ok it's probably just my bad luck and coincidence, but it was the beginning of the negative issues for me).
-hot water issues in bathroom (sometimes just didn't work, other times always changing hot cold).
-sink plug couldn't eject
-old, noisy heater
-no English channels on TV
-dirty kettle (had to change many times)
-reception woman kept disappearing when we needed her
-wifi connection poor
-breakfast (monotonous, cramped in room, never asked to change from first time we filled in breakfast form, doesn't resemble photos)

Overall, from the moment we walked into this hotel we were disappointed. We wanted to change after our first night but were told we couldn't. Ok granted Rome is expensive but I really would say to others look elsewhere if paying a similar price to us (80GBP/night) - not worth it! I saw on the reception computer some guests were paying a fraction of what we were so I am dubious about their pricing. I would stay here for the cheaper rates but it is certainly not worth the higher rates! What they've basically done here is cram lots of rooms into an old apartment style building and while the new modern decorations and furniture may show on the outside, on the inside there are many problems. The reception staff while nice, kept disappearing and we had numerous wifi issues so they were never there to help. Again, if you don't use wifi not a big deal but I enjoyed watching documentaries on ancient Rome etc and it was a pain to have to walk out of my room, down the corridor to get a connection. Also, they cleaned the room well but every day there was some small issue - a cup was missing, a dirty spoon, the bin moved etc. Also, the location is ok but after visiting Rome a day or two we learnt that it's quite a walkable city, we hardly used the metro in the end. There are many more hotels at more central locations. Overall stay here if you get a cheap rate, otherwise avoid!

The b&b is at an excellent location, just 20m from lepanto metro station. There is also a bus station just outside the building from where you can take a bus to the historical center. It was always clean and the staff was more than helpful. Constantine, the guy at the reception was great. Safe area with many great traditional restaurants nearby. It was well heated, even though it was very cold outside. It was annoying that the air conditioning was very noisy. Breakfast was served in the room, which was nice, but it was very simple and they should provide more quantity. WiFi in the room a bit weak, but it was ok. Overall, I was very satisfied and I would recommend it. Good value of money.
