This is a lovely older hotel that has received many updates, especially with regard to room renovation. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming. We stayed for a week, and I would gladly repeat the experience. The breakfast buffet is very nice, and there's a pleasant little terrace on the 5th floor. The surrounding neighborhood is probably among the nicer areas to stay in Rome. Although it's outside the Aurelian Walls, it's easy enough to walk to the main attractions. There is a real sense of community here, and some really great spots for eating or drinking (and beautiful architecture). Not so many tourists around, either, which is a plus in Rome.
