The Gioberti Hotel was excellent - clean, rooms well appointed and very comfortable. The staff was welcoming and very responsive and helpful. The breakfast up in the roof top terrace was very good. The location was extremely convenient to the main train station - literally a half block away. The immediate surroundings (within one block) were somewhat scruffy - though no fault of the hotel. But I never felt unsafe and was able to walk everywhere, including to main points of interest within thirty minutes such as the Forum and the Spanish Steps. There were many wonderful, small restaurants within 15 minutes walking. For those who love song, especially opera, within a 15 minute walk is the Chiesa Evangelica Methodista where there are concerts almost every evening. Incredible and powerful, lyrical voices. I happened to be waking by during one of the concerts and was immediately captivated. A hidden gem! All in all, I recommend the Gioberti Hotel with five stars.
