The hotel is difficult to find. It's not close to a metro station but to a train station. It is on a kind of hill so you'll have to walk a little. If you get lost, you'll climbe some stairs with the suitcases in your hands. So better take a taxi. The staff is indifferent to your needs. In the room there was a specific smell. The towels were not changed everyday. The good thing was the free Wi-Fi and the fact that it is close to Vatican. Sure are other best options to stay in Rome at the same price like this hotel.
After browsing through a long list of hotels in Rome, I decided on staying here, as Alessandrino appeared to have the best price-quality ratio. And so it did. Although located on a pretty steep hill, it's closer to the center than many others in its price range. The Vatican is no more than 15 minutes away by foot. The rooms are.huge. The one we stayed in even had an interesting curved shape, so you didn't feel you were living in a box. The only downside was the poor breakfast. Admittedly, during the summer you can have it on the terrace atop the hotel, from where you can see far into the distance, to the mountains, and closer to the Vatican dome. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

It was our first trip to Rome and we (two couples) stayed the week before Christmas for 3 nights and we can't fault it! The location was ideal - nice and quiet residential area close to the Vatican. The hotel was very clean and nicely decorated. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and we would love to go back again! We looked at the reviews and it was helpful to know the hotel was situated on top of a hill. Yes, there are steps up to it, alternatively there is a gently sloping pathway - the choice is yours. But get a taxi back if you can't manage either of these - it really is not a problem! Rome itself is abolutely wonderful and the people so friendly. Enjoy. Ciao!

We stayed in the basement annex apartment in early November. Totally agree with the assesment of the family from York. The extra room was nice, but the dampness cannot be overstated! We took to drying our bath towels out using an open oven. We, too, had problems getting dry bath towels without being charged extra for them (this on the third night of our stay!) The location is great. The hill is easy (take the hill and NOT the steps) and is very close to St. Peters. There is a charming, friendly coffee shop on the way to the underground sidewalk to reach St. Peters Square. We LOVED Rome and are ready to return as soon as possible, but we would NOT recommend the basement annex apartment.

it was at the end of august and was the first time that i ve been in Rome while expecting to have a wonderful holiday . Because of this hotel , i couldnt sleep well and absolutaley recommend you to find another one. First it was so hot and the aircondition was not working , second the tv was one of the oldest one that an hotel can have in this decade and also the remote control was broken . Then there was only mineral water ,which i dont like , in the mini bar nothing more ,and the furnitures were terrible. On the other side the bathroom was ok but could be better , and the hotel is nearer to Vatican City . This hotel doesn't deserve 3 stars maybe 2 .

This hotel is very clean and the room we stayed in was very quiet (5th floor) room to the of the elevator. It had a HUGE private balcony that was beautiful. The only thing is the directions to find it are AWFUL. Its up a hill that you need to climb, there are no restaurants in the vicinity. The front desk staff was NOT friendly, in fact they were condesending. I booked on priceline europe and would recommend it if you want to be close to the Vatican and are physically fit. There is no onsite parking, but the train station is nearby.

We stayed here for 3 nights in Feb 2012 and although it is a little walk (5 mins uphill) from San Pietro Station (Not an underground station) it is still a lovely little quaint hotel that offers very good views of the Vatican. The rooms are nice, with good room service and very friendly staff. You can access the free wi-fi and breakfast is good. For the price of the hotel it is great value for money and Rome is amazing city.

The bad critics are wrong. The hotel is in a quiet area close to the railway station san pietro. The Vatican is very close to the hotel too. We stayed 4 days in Rome. We used to take the bus 64 in front of the railway station. You can take the train to the trastevere station and then take the tram to the center of rome. Everything was fine at the hotel, the bed, people . Great place, I love Rome

Booked the alessandrino via the internet for a two night break, the hotel is clean and quiet with helpful staff and an adequate breakfast included in the rate,you need to be prepared to walk but the Vatican is only 10 minutes away. My only problem was one rip off merchant in a taxi therefore ask the price to your destination The area in which the hotel is located is quiet and safe but there are no bars or restaurants
