Advantages: Fantastic location

Disadvantages: stains on the bed, and tap-tapping of the keyboard

We stayed at the hostel-cum-hotel Colors, located near the Vatican.

Had a three night stay at Hotel Colors, location was fantastic, only trouble was not a very big sign outside saying where it was, completely walked past it, and carried on to the end of the road. Whoops.

Arrived before check in time, and the room was ready, which was great considering we'd been up since 4.30am.

We stayed in a private room with our own facilities. Room was clean, except for a few stains on the bed cover, from what looked like someone having a nice 'romantic time' in the room! To our suprise the room was made up by housekeeping everyday, even folding my clothes and putting them under the pillow. Maybe this is normal, but i've never stayed in a hostel before.
Room wasn't too noisy, except for the internet access being in the same corridor, and you could actually hear the tap-tapping of the keyboard, and people talking.

We didn't experience the breakfast, as we had early starts and decided to get something outside.

It was about a 15 minute walk to the Vatican, and about an hours walk to the Colesseum, which luckily enough for us the weather was perfect. It was about a 10-15 minute walk to the Metro line (except on the way where it was about 30 minutes!)

We payed 75Euros a night. All in all, a very pleasant stay, and would definately recommend to others.

Summary: A great hostel-cum-hotel, centered perfectly. Great for people who want somewhere to rest their head
