You get what you pay for here. For less than $50 we could stay 3 blocks from Termini, so it was very quick and convenient getting to the major transport hub in Rome. However, I cannot recommend this place for an extended stay. The 'hotel' is really a converted apartment building and had a strange, funky smell the whole time we were there. Given my past experience with hostels and traveling in Europe, it wasn't bad in a pinch. But my wife was not very comfortable with the place.
