Hotel Duca d'Alba

This is in the heart of all the major sites in Rome. The staff help with getting taxi's and gave tips on how to get around.

We needed a budget friendly yet comfortable & clean hotel in this specific location. This hotel is a hidden gem. The entire staff is friendly, helpful & eager to help make your stay enjoyable. I had a typical double room while my friend had a single room that, while tiny, had the needed amenities (although the safe in her room did not work). Neat and tidy, spotlessly clean and quiet, considering the neighborhood. We did not opt for the breakfast but saw that it had a nice variety. The only negative is the area tends to attract a mildly unattractive element of squatters or vagrants; they camp out on the steps adjacent to the hotel's entrance. That could be off-putting for some people. But there are plenty of places to eat and drink right in this area and it's very convenient for getting around (Colosseum is in walking distance) plus there are multiple stores, shops, pharmacy, etc, right there. Although located on a side street off the main road (via Cavour), our transfer vehicle had no issues pulling right up to the front door to collect us for the airport. I would recommend to anyone looking for a very nice accommodation, at very attractive prices, for a few nights. Rooms are smallish, even my double and, as I said, the solo room for a single traveler is very compact; so bear that in mind. You're not getting the spacious room that American's tend to expect; you're getting a clean and comfortable boutique hotel with an excellent staff who value you as a guest.

Excellent option in Rome Centro Storico. Walking distance to Colisseum and a lot of restaurants, bares and coffee shops around. Just a few steps to Cavour metro station. 24 hours frontdesk with very friendly staff. The only thing is that you cannot use iron in the room.
