We liked the hotel location was very close to train and metro station. It is away from the tourists areas as well but the area did not seem very safe and it seemed quite run down. The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The water pressure and the hot water was not that good.

The room we had was much smaller than the room in the picture but ok. 3 minutes walk to the Tuscolana train station and 4 minutes to the Ponte Lungo subway. Overall, I recommend this hotel.

Great hotel and breakfast
I stayed at this hotel in late March during my family 3-day Rome trip. This Hotel is very good on all my key criteria's. Very close to Metro and regional trains which make Airport and City travel very easy. I loved morning breakfast and also staff there took care of us as we were in their home. They were very helpful in my day trip planning and providing guidance in case on any issues. For example 3 metro stops were closed for few days and they told us during breakfast, which help us to make alternate arrangements. They also stored my luggage on my last day till I picked up in the afternoon to go to airport and yes without any charges.

Good value and great service.
Enjoyed our stay. A distance from city center but with metro/taxi (pricey), it was not hard to access. Decent restaurants nearby. Service and breakfast/service was terrific. It's a 2 star hotel so don't expect too much in terms of amenities. Neighborhood littered with graffiti but felt safe walking around to find restaurants. Many within walking distance.

Coming and going
We stayed at the Hotel Tuscolana at the beginning of our trip and returned to stay a month later at the end of our trip. We were given a warm "Welcome back" by staff which made us feel good. We chose this hotel initially because of the close proximity to the train station (about 3 minute walk) and the good reviews we had read. The hotel is maintained very well and the breakfast was the best we had our entire trip with lots of choices and homemade treats. As mentioned, all staff members were kind. A great experience! Can't really rate the area as we didn't explore the neighborhood and just came to sleep. Our primary destination was not Rome and the hotel was located very well to our train transportation.

Hotel Tuscolana is the gem of Rome! Tucked away in San Giovani it is close to everything by Metro without all of the annoyance of the tourist areas. When we arrived we were well received and given the key to our room which was lovely. It was very clean and warm. When I removed the bedspread, folded and tucked it away, because I get hot at night, much to my surprise and delight, the staff added a crisp white sheet on top of the blanket for additional comfort. The neighborhood of San Giovanni is quite safe even late at night. My 16 year old daughter and I felt quite comfortable alone on the street despite the graffiti on the walls throughout the neighborhood and we quickly discovered most of the neighborhoods in Rome apart from the tourist areas and ancient attractions are covered in graffiti and are quite nice otherwise. We began everyday at Hotel Tuscolana with a wonderful very traditional Italian/European breakfast and a cup of cappuccino, included in our stay. We left our key with the front desk daily, as is customary, and we utilized the Ponte Lungo Metro station to access the city which is quite easy. Hotel Tuscolana offers easy access to all of the day to day amenites you would find at home. There is a grocer, a pharmacy, a market, convenience store, shoe store, clothing store, and pharmacy all within one block of the hotel. Coming back to Hotel Tuscolana after sight seeing is like going home at the end of the day. The staff are all warm, inviting, and very helpful.

Good hotel close to transport
The staff were cheerful, helpful, and attentive to any issues. They helped with English / Italian translation and suggestions for places outside of Rome to visit. The Wifi was generally good, and the TV had a setting that allowed Italian translation dubbing over English movies to be turned off. The room and bathroom was clean, tidy and airconditioned, room safe easy to configure and worked well, beds were comfortable enough. For breakfast juices, tea and coffee was available, along with pastries, cereals, yoghurts and cheese and meat slices. No lift, so luggage needs to be carried up/down the stairs. Pharmacy across the road and supermarket around the corner. Cafe's and Restaurant's within an easy walk. Metro (subway) and Roma Tuscolana train station are very close and give easy access to main Roma Termini train station. Metro, Train and normal bus travel is inexpensive compared with England. I would stay here again.

Near rail and metro station.
The only thing good with this hotel is it's nearby the train and metro station (only few mins walk). Nearby the metro station, there is a self-service laundry service. There isn't any lift in the hotel. You need to carry the luggages up the stairs to 2nd floor where the rooms are.

Boutique Hotel in Great Locale
While this boutique hotel doesn't offer many amenities, the location is undeniable. Just roughly a 5 minute walk from both the train that comes into the city from the airport and the metro line that runs through the city, you pretty much have easy access to get around wherever you are trying to go. No need for expensive cabs! Also, this hotel does offer a complimentary continental breakfast. The morning hotel staff was lovely and very helpful. The evening staff, not so much, but I believe there may have been a language barrier there. The room was small, typical European-style. The hotel could be a bit noisy, really the hallway. However, neither of these things bothered me much, because I wasn't spending much time in the hotel anyway. Overall, I enjoyed this hotel, but mostly for it's location to easy and cheap transportation options and the affordable rate!

Great shower, right next to really big and cheap Supermarket, very close to metro, close to laundromat, nice breakfast (vegetarian options too) with awesome chocolate pastries - although come early because it was very sparse after 9:15am. Very friendly front-desk-guy (with great English), and really nice Barista during breakfast. We thought it was really funny that the word "elegant" was in the description for this hotel. Our room was neon orange, and this place has the tackiest decorations we'd ever seen. No bother though!! Keep in mind that there is an extra eight Euro tax per night, that you need to pay during checkout.

Hotel on the outskirts of Rome close to the Metro
The hotel is 10 minutes walk from the Rome Metro and about 25 minutes walk to the Colosseo. The rooms are modern and clean with fresh towels supplied every day. The showers are powerful, soap and shampoo is supplied. If hair is your thang bring your own hair dryer as the wall mounted one is not very powerful. The breakfast is basic but perfect for any Rome explorer. The staff are warm, friendly and very helpful. There is air conditioning in the rooms and fast free wifi.

Very good hotel in a good location.
We spent 5 nights in Rome. The room itself was really clean when we got there. It was air conditioned too so I slept well at night. Our room had a balcony but I had no idea how to open the door that led to it. The bed was really comfortable. My favourite part was the shower because it had a high pressure and a few different options that made the shower really pleasant. The only problems in the room was that our safe wasn't working, the bathroom door wouldn't close properly and the toilet would sometimes keep flushing for a long time until I pressed the flush button again. I really liked the staff in this hotel because they were always friendly and they really made us feel welcome every day that we stayed there. The woman at the breakfast buffet was my favourite because she was just so sweet and she'd always be smiling. The breakfast buffet was really good and it would keep me full for a large part of the day. There were cold cuts, cheese, pastries, fruit bowls, boiled eggs, cereal, milk and juice, coffee and bread which were things that I would look forward to every morning. The location of the hotel may look a bit inconvenient at first sight but IT'S NOT. There's a metro and a train station at a very small walking distance from the hotel. If you stay out late, there is always a night bus that'll bring you really close to the hotel. Overall, I'd highly recommend this hotel because of the price.

The hotel is located near the metro station of Ponte Lungo. It's a quick walk. Around Rome here is a lot of water spouts with drinkable water. There is one right near the hotel.

One block from the red line. Accessible by train.
The room was small as expected, it's europe for peace sakes. This family hotel is a gem and everyone tries their best to make you comfortable. We got in after midnight and dad was waiting at the front desk for us. He called us by name and when asked for hot water to make tea, got up and accommodated us with hot water, tea bags and the trimmings. In the morning we met a young daughter who knew everything we asked about. Bfast was good, no complaints here, it was free. We went out and did our sight seeing, came back at late and it wasn't a scary place to walk around at night either. But don't forget that the metro stops working around 11pm, then you will have to cab it. I will most definitely stay here again and also recommend it to friends.

The hotel was convenient as it was next to the Metro and easy to access from the airport.

Cute hotel w/good access to Rome's city center
I booked this hotel when another hotel which was recommended to me was full. I prefer boutique hotels, and Hotel Tuscolana fits this preference. The front desk staff are courteous and helpful, and our room was very comfortably with ample space. It was, however, a room for handicap access, so I imagine, it was larger than other standard rooms. Train and metro access are an easy walk from Hotel Tuscolana, and its daily rate is very moderate in price.
