This budget-friendly mid-sized chain hotel is located in the southern part of Rome's city center. The property offers fast access to tourist sights and the airport via public transportation, but the overall amenities are limited. A free hot buffet in the bright and cheerful breakfast nook is a nice perk. The rooms have flat-screen TVs and electric kettles for heating water, though the decor is comparable to a student dorm room with small desks and wall-mounted clothes hangers.
