Hotel Paba or hotel rosetta in Rome?

Can't help with the Rosetta, but we stayed at Hotel Paba for three nights in Nov. 2008 and quite liked it. It's a small hotel, so breakfast is served in the room. You ring the front desk and they bring it in. I recall there being yogurt, some pastry, some kind of cheese thingy, crackers, orange juice, and cappucino.

We liked the location, which is around the corner and a short walk (less than 5 mins) from the Colosseum and very close to the Forum. It's about midway between the Colosseo and Cavour metro stops, and the bus stop is nearby as well.

One small warning: the beds are very, very FIRM. If anyone in your party prefers softer beds, this is probably not the place to stay.

i stayed at hotel rosetta for 2 nights last week and liked it alot. its very basic....no breakfast, no internet, but great location, great price and clean rooms. its family-run and everyone is nice and helpful especially the daughter (who speaks english). will probably stay there again.

Judy, I wouldn't pick a hotel just because they offer breakfast. My suggestion would be pick a hotel because of location, and take into consideration what Liz said about the beds. In Rome there are many small places to have breakfast and I think it's nice to try different places. Just my opinion.

Have a great trip!

Thank you for all responses. I booked Hotel Rosetta for 4 nights in mid June. Cono- I am new to this too- I think I asked if area around hotel seemed safe. I have read so much lately while planning that I can't remember. Thanks again

yes judy its safe. its on Via Cavour which is a main,busy street and the subway (Cavour) is like 2 straight blocks away - no turns. and since so many sights are around there the whole 'neighborhood' is lively.
