We booked as we wanted something quirky and specific to rome but this was very disappointing. we knew in advance the rooms would be small so this didnt worry us. however, the room was very dingy, with very old dark red paint and several holes in the walls in places. it also smelt very heavily of stale smoke. the bed was smaller than a standard double and sagged in the middle. the bed cover had holes in and looked like it had seen better days but not the inside of a washing machine for some time. the communal areas were better - there is a lovely courtyard which is popular with locals and guests in the evening when it is very pretty. i would recommend going for a drink and staying elsewhere. reception are quite dismissive and treat you very much as if you are just passing through.
