Hotel Des Artistes Roma served as a base for our father/son whistle-stop tour of Rome. The location in a quiet, safe if unassuming area under ten minutes walk from Termini station, put it within easy reach of many top attractions, in fact there was nowhere in the city that we wanted to go that couldn't be managed on foot, which suited us brilliantly. ||Our fourth floor room was comfortable rather than showy, always clean and well provisioned, and met our needs well, and there was a lift available if we were tired or in a hurry. The desk staff were helpful and attentive whenever we had questions, and when I needed a taxi at short notice they had called one within seconds, in fact it was at the door waiting for us inside two minutes.||The breakfast room stood out, with good, simple fresh fare that set us up well for long days on our feet. Good all round, the fresh fruit deserves special mention, and a varied selection of cakes would keep any sweet tooth happy. More than anything, I want to commend the breakfast staff not just for the presentation, but for the outstanding way they kept the breakfast rooms, crockery and utensils, which was absolutely the cleanest i can ever remember seeing anywhere. Flawless.||Outside the hotel, there were good, affordable dining options within a shortish walk, including a lovely, inexpensive family run trattoria on the adjacent street, Via Pallestro. Also within several minutes walk were a couple of decent supermarkets, our favourite on the north side of Piazza dell'Independenza, handy for bottled water and all manner of stuff one might need.
