“Hotel Major Aventinus strikes me as a place with a real neighborhood feel, given its location a short walk to the Colosseum, yet nestled in a quiet, green area; the proximity to the metro and Testaccio market is a definite plus. While some rooms might be basic, the friendly staff and the overall clean environment make it a worthwhile consideration.

The location is very attractive. It is also situated in a quiet neighborhood. The building entrance was beautiful! The staff members were cute. The room was quite clean. I found a good-sized shower that suited my needs.

I did notice that I needed to leave the room key at reception when going out though there was always someone available to collect it upon my return.
