Great place to stay for us, it's away from the centre of Rome but it is in walking distance to the colosseum. Thing is though if you've walked all day the next day the last thing you want to do is walk into town. Close to metro or a taxi costs from 10 - 15 euros depending where your going this was fine as there were four of us to split the cost. Great place to stay but like I said you are out on the edge of the city.
