“Modern Rome value, far from sights”

The Guardian is a clean, newly-renovated Rome hotel with stylish smart fittings — spacious quiet rooms with comfortable beds, rich breakfasts, thoughtful service and good value; restaurants, a pharmacy and supermarket surround it, and a tasty pizzeria sits nearby. It's fifteen uneven-pavement minutes to the station and twenty-plus to main sights, nights are quiet (mind your surroundings), hot water fluctuates hot-cold, and one guest found facilities basic and service thin.
