*********COST**********
This is always my favourite place to start !!!! Well this hotel is in my opinion an average cost for a 3* hotel inRome at about £105 per room per night including breakfast. I know you can definately get cheaper priced hotels but I was happy with this cost for what you get (all will be revealed).

*************ACCOMMODATION***********
This Hotel is an elegant early 20th century building. It was newly renovated which finished in 2005. I do have to say that as this is such an old and traditional building, no two rooms are alike !!!!

****************FACILITIES***********
Ok, so what does this hotel offer in the way of facilities ? Well it has quite nice sitting rooms, a veranda, a reading room, a tearoom and bar.
The front desk is open 24 hours a day, which I think is great and the staff are quite helpful (although their English leaves a bit to be desired).
The Continental Breakfast (served between 7am - 10am) is in a room called The Winter Garden and it is basic but you can eat as much as you want so you really are set up for a day of sightseeing.
For those of you who have any excess energy after a full day of sight-seeing there is even a table-tennis room!!! And I really must say about the great roof garden, which is excellent with its views over Rome.
The bar area is small but it has comfortable chairs for you to relax. NOTE - Don't be expecting a late night in this bar because it closed early in the evening.

************GETTING TO HOTEL************
I thought I would add this bit in, as this is always something that nobody seems to be able to tell you and is a nightmare to find out !!!!
From Rome Fiumicino airport (FCO): Catch the train from the airport terminal to Rome Termini central train station.
From Rome Ciampino airport (CIA): Catch the Terravision shuttle bus to Rome Termini central train station.
From Termini central railway station the Hotel is about 5 minutes walk away. From the big piazza in front of the station, turn left onto Via Cavour. After about 100 metres turn right onto Via Principe Amedeo, then at the end of the street turn left onto Via Del Viminale where the hotel is located. (as easy as that !!!)

****************EATING OUT**************
I do have to say that some of the restaurants in the immediate area are a little disappointing. But on a positive note there is a restaurant called the Alessio near to the Impero which is very good. It is straight out of the door and opposite the hotel to the left. You go down some stairs to get to the restaurant and there are no outside tables. But as far as the food goes it was excellent, as too was the service. It has a lovely authentic Italian feel to it.
