Center 3 has everything you want for a base in central Rome. The room is located on a cute street lined with beautiful hibiscus trees and in a great neighbourhood full of fantastic restaurants (authentic, not touristy), close to Termini train station and is a lovely 20 minute walk to the Colesseum.

The room is fantastic value for money - very comfortable and clean with its own en-suite and Lindita was a very courteous and helpful host. There is a real family feel to the operation.

The location is very close to Piazza di Porta Maggiore, a transport hub for trams, busses and taxi stands. Full of history, Porta Maggiore has been called 'one of the best preserved and most imposing architectural masses in Rome.'

Within walking distance we found the fabulous Panella cafe, ranked among the best in the world. It's great for take away pastries, bread and also to sit down and have a lovely breakfast or lunch, watching Roman's bustle past (yes I went a few times). Also dangerously close is the Roman institution, Fassi gelato - a must to visit.

Great room/value and great location.
