Our room was in front and the hotel is on a very busy street. Fortunately they have the metal shutters that come down over the terrace door that blocks out noise and light. The breakfast is excellent with a ton of choices. The roof top deck has great views. The hotel is in a very central location between the Coluseum and Trevi Fountain. I would definately recommend this hotel.

We were two friends staying in two single rooms at the back of the hotel, and we slept better than at home! No noice at all! But the hotel IS facing a very busy street, so I cannot tell how it would be staying in a front-room. But we could hardly have found a more central hotel.We walked to all the important sights, but could have travelled by one of the many buses from the bus-stop just down the street.Our rooms were rather spacious compared to many other singles I have stayed in ( but I think their single rooms are of different sices)The bathrooms were nice, clean and large! Aircon worked perfectly. Dont expect a view from the rooms at the back of the hotel unless you are staying on the upper floors.( The lifts are tiny!) We loved the roof-terrace! Staff friendly and helpful. The hotel is not modern, but has a certain charm and personality.

Close to the centre of virtually everything in Rome ie three mins to the Trevi Fountain and about ten to the Colosseum. Cheap cab fare from the station. Very clean and professional and very helpful staff. If for no other reason stay here for the roof top garden view with a bottle of plonk at night. Breakfast was good but under-staffed on our visit. Ask for a quiet room because the hotel is on a very busy thorough fare. Note that hotels in Italy generally do not have irons. Lovely restaurant on the way to the Trevi fountain (on the left).

I had a single room at Pace Helvetia for three nights in July 2007. While it was quite easily the smallest hotel room I've ever seen, it was still adequate for my needs. There was an easy chair for reading during the afternoon siesta and a nice bathroom; other than that and a bed, what else could I need? The window faced the busy street below, but the traffic noises were greatly reduced at night and with noise-cancelling double paned windows, I had no issues at all with noise. I can't say enough positive things about the location of this hotel. It was no more than 5 minutes to the Trevi Fountain in one direction and about the same distance to the Roman Forum in the other. The Colosseum, which I first glimpsed from the hotel's lovely rooftop terrace, is also within easy walking distance. (It isn't nearly as far away as it looks from the roof.) It is literally just around the corner from Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Museum. I walked to ALL of the sights I wanted to see, including the Vatican which was a straight shot and less than two miles. (That one seemed a little long at the start but, when done early in the morning before the crowds hit the street, it wasn't bad at all.) FYI: I;m a 52 year-old female couch potato; if I can do it, just about anyone can. The hotel also provided the best breakfast of any I stayed at in Italy with cold meats and cheeses in addition to the usual pastries and cereal.

Well located hotel, close to the Trevi fountain, the Coliseum. On a busy street but room pretty quiet.We liked the huge triple room and the terrace on the roof. Beds very comfortable. Good bkfst. Very small elevator. Air-conditionning in the room appreciated.

Well lacated; clean; very professional staff; as a four star hotel , it must provide a bellboy to help with lugagge;however, service at counter has been improved from my previous stay 03 years ago.

First visit and very happy with standard and location of hotel. Very near to the Capitol so a good base to explore Rome on foot. Roof terrace at the hotel is perfect to watch the sunset.

Hotels are expensive in Rome, also this one if you consider that a bargain price is still 230 Euros/night in a small room. Good position, close to Forum, Coliseo, Piazza Venezia, Trevi, etc. Good link to taxis buses and Sightseeing tours. Nice terrace on the roof with spendid view. Quiet rooms courtside (even if some seabirds bring up their offspring with loud squeals on the close roofs). Nice and kind employees. Breakfast early closed 9.30am! Nearby restaurants expensives except La Piazzeta (good, near via Cavour) or the Bar at the next corner. Would probably stay again here.

The hotel was very well situated for our purposes.We were very pleased to be given a room at the back with a balcony as the view was much nicer. However it would have been good to have control over the water temperature from the shower! The staff were efficient and welcoming despite the hotel being almost fully booked. The reception areas were never crowded and you were able to work undisturbed. Breakfast was a good balance between continental style and british style breakfasts and were ample to set us up for the morning. All other meals you had to eat out but that was no problem. We would recommend Roma tours to enable quicker entry to places like the Colisseum and make use of bus passes as they are cheaper than taxis.
