Across from the Forum and steps from the Colosseum. Throw open the wooden shutters and let the sounds of Rome in. Rowdy, raucous, but when in Rome, etc. The rooms are basic, but oh, the location. Owners speak English and accept credit cards.
Breakfast is on the sidewalk outside the hotel.
No elevator, so pack light. Owned by a delightful young couple who couldn't have been more gracious. Nino does the cooking and Ruxandra runs the dining rooms. She's from Romania and speaks flawless English. Don't miss Nino's rolled eggplant stuffed with tiny pasta, whether as an antipasto or first course.
