The area where the hotel is located is full of lovely tree-lined streets. I had a spacious room with a street view, and extremely comfortable bed. The breakfast was generous, the staff friendly and helpful, all for a great budget price. Don't be put off by the distance from the heart of the city - it's a brisk walk away, about 15 - 20 minutes, and of course convenient to the Vatican area. There are plenty of small eateries and supermarkets around the hotel, so no problem sticking to a moderate spending regime. When I asked about getting out to Fiumicino Airport, the staff explained how to take an airport bus, the stop is located just 6 minutes walk from the hotel, cost (I think) was 6 Euros. The only minus point was getting stuck in heavy traffic on the way.
