HOTEL BORROMEO

The hotel is strategically placed for sight seeing but is very basic and in my opinion and fine for a couple of nights max if on a budget.

We booked a quad room for my family (4 adults). When we arrived, we were told we were in a suite (flat) "next door". The room was decent - two separate sleeping areas for my adult kids and us. Room was literally on the street - equivalent to staying in a motel that was built right on a highway shoulder. Large picture windows facing street would not deter someone from breaking in even though the door was secured by a keyed deadbolt. We were only staing one night - probably would not have liked it if we were staying for weveral noghts or week or so. Picture on Internet is accurate, just doesn't show the grafitti-covered storefronts on either side of the hotel entrance. Everytime we left the room (for dinner, sight-seeing, etc.) we were asked to leave the room key at the front desk.

Perfect Location, only 10 mins walk from the colloseum. On a nice main road, near loads of eatery places. All in all a good stay!

The location of the hotel is GREAT! the colosseum and Victoriano as well as other sites are walking distance! The hotel is a great little gem.
However, when booking the hotel, i specified that i would like a large room and a king bed. Although confirming this with the hotel itself prior to arrival, once we arrived i was very unhappy! We had been put into the smallest hotel room i had ever seen in my life!! there was no space to put ur bags down, let alone 2 of them! After having strong words with a rude receptionist we were told there were no other rooms available until next day. miraculasly, once my partner went down and threatened to find another hotel, a perfect room became available for us immediately. This room was perfect. Very clean and good view. Other than this receptionist, every member of staff at the hotel is very friendly and helpful. If staying at this hotel, i suggest you ask for a big room and specify this when booking.
