Probably this is not the first review what you are reading right now about this hotel. So I will just basically summarise what was said earlier. We stayed there for 3 nights, I have choosed this becouse of the good reviews and I had to say I was not dissapointed. The staff is super nice and helpful, with good english language - this is not very common in Italy. The room was clean and big, there is even a flatscreen TV (with like 90 italian speaking channels and no english/german/etc) and an airconditioner. Bathroom is also okay - and the staff changed the towels every day altough we did not put them onto the ground showing that we'd like them replaced.
The breakfast consists of a croissant, a toasted sandwich, a yoghurt, orange juice plus coffee/tee/capuccino/hot chockolate of your choice which is enough for most of us. Since the hotel do not has a dining room it is served every day to your bedroom.
The neighborhood is not the best, there is litter everywhere (common problem in Rome as I saw), and nights you can see a few homeless sleeping in doorways, but if you look aside it is not critical. It is mostly populated by immigrants from the far east. We stayed out long in the nights and it was calm and quiet. The hotel itself is a few blocks away from the main station 'Termini' so unless you have a lot of baggage it is not important to grab a taxi, just walk 5 minutes. As mentioned earlier by others there is not a huge sign showing 'Maikol' so you have to look at the doorbells. Is you see a sign "MAS" then you are there. You can find a lot of cheap restaurants around and the mass transit is excellent (underground in less than 1 minute walk, few bus stations, and also a tram line) and if you walk back to 'Termini' you're in the middle of the town. The Colosseum is also not far away.
So if you're on a budget this is your ultimate choice. It is officially not a 'regular' hotel but a B&B - but I have to say this is one of the best I've seen in years. I would choose this one again!
Azoknak akik magyarul olvasnák: tökéletes kis szálloda, az egyik legolcsóbb, szuper közel a legbelebb belvároshoz és minden közlekedési csomóponthoz. Plusz a Colosseum is csak 5 perc séta. A környéken sok a távolkeleti főleg kinaiak és indiaiak, de nem vészes. Sokat voltunk kinn éjjel is, és a környék nyugodt, csendes. A szoba szép nagy, van lcd tévé és klímaberendezés is. A reggelit minden nap a szobába hozzák, egy szendvics egy croissant, két deci narancslé, egy joghurt és választhatóan forró csoki/tea/kávé/kapuccsínó - finom és kiadós. A törölközőket mindig cserélik minden nap. A személyzet segítőkész, és angolul nagyon jól beszélnek. Szóval nagyon tudom ajánlani, bár csak 3 éjszakát töltöttünk ott, mindenképpen visszamennék legközelebb is.
