You get what you pay for.
I went for a couples trip. My girlfriend and I shared a room. Pros: Cheap price. Decent location. A/C Cons: WiFi. When it was working it was slower then AOL dialup. Loud street in front and windows didn't do much for noice. Rude cleaning staff and didn't clean that well.

Good location and great staff.
Overall the accommodation was good and the location is very good with walking and local transport available. A few places to eat near by and a supermarket at the end of the street. Had to pick up the key from around the corner but that worked out okay. Breakfast was great.

Quiet, clean, friendly staff, nice breakfast. You check in at Caravaggio hotels round the corner which is slightly confusing. And there's a great lift!

Budget hotel,walking distance to many attractions.
Hotel Picasso was all I thought it would be. It was a good location, was well priced and clean. We enjoyed the simple breakfast. It was a small room with a small bathroom, it was cleaned daily. The free Wi-Fi worked well.

Perfect hotel! Perfect price, location, staff, and room. Within walking distance of everything, and they provide information for checking in since the lobby has a different address from the rooms. They also gave a free glass of wine!

Good location but be aware there could be stairs
Picasso Hotel is in a separate building to the main hotel. My room was a good size, very simple but clean. It was on the 4th floor of the building, I was not told previously and so because of my mobility problem it proved to be very difficult to get to my room during the time the lift was not working. The hotel should inform people that there could be four flights of stairs to their room. The breakfast room was very small and not suitable for the number of guests in the hotel.

Great location
Stayed in this hotel in July. The front desk in other one but close by, you would have to check in there before moving your luggage to your room, leave your key before exploring the city and ask questions. Happy hour every day with wine and fruits. Make sure you have 10 cents ready to make an elevator go up. The room is good enough for traveler but overnight noise from the outside makes the stay a bit unpleasant. Shower size not big enough for a kid. Food in the restaurants in the area is average, not getting the feel that you are in Italy. Al Viminale, just around the corner, we had ravioli so good, I did not know that taste existed, mozzarella amazing, everything we ate there just unbelievable.

Great central location, near major sites
The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, it feels very safe and secure, the room was small and compact but entirely functional. The hotel staff were kind and did there best to solve any issues we had. The only complaint I have is that the breakfast is terrible, bread stale, milk off. Unfortunately the hotel could not refund me for breakfast due to having pre-paid. I would stay at this hotel again, but next time I would not pay for the breakfast.

Quirky but noisy
We were met by a very helpful and incredibly serviced focussed concierge in the evening. He had incredible local knowledge and was also very friendly. We liked the idea of the happy hour for guests. We only had one night but it was a very noisy location. The lift that needed coins was quite quirky and the fact that the reception was around the corner was a bit inconvenient with heavy bags. It was clean and neat and ok for what we needed.

Comfy bed, ideal location, but there are issues!
The hotel rooms are not at the same location as the concierge! On our our arrival the Concierge gave lots of info about restaurants/city etc whilst he was trying to be helpful it was all a bit much. He reccommended a bus tour of the city through "Green Line Tours" Really wish we hadnt done this but this is not the forum to write why. You will need a 10cent for every time you use the lift. We were in room 410. (4th floor): Our room was small with a juliet balcony. Outside was noisy so couldnt leave the doors open (its a city!) The walls were very thin, we could hear other peoples conversations/tv/lovemaking (!?) 2 small beds had been pushed together to make our double. But it was very comfortable! The bathroom was clean but very very small. I struggled to even dry myself in it. The water had to be put on for ages before luke warm water even glanced its way to the shower/sink. Then a mad rush to soap before it went cold. i couldnt wash my hair properly for the week. I made the mistake of putting the plug in the sink. Unbeknown to us it was broken. Leaving the sink full (unable to wash/clean teeth/fill water bottle) Apparently it couldnt be fixed till the following day. Found out during the night that the toilet paper hadnt been refilled by the cleaner:- get dressed again. 4 floors downstairs 5min run to concierge then back to hotel, 10 cent lift and then i can pee. Plus side: great location/comfy bed. What more do you need.

Helpful Staff
The staff was kind and spoke great English. They had good wifi in the lobby and would have printed tickets for us for a nominal fee. There is free happy hour but be sure to get there early. They were happy to hold our bags. Even though we were late to check out they were understanding. Overall a good experience for an off-season price.

Convenient
I spent two nights at the hotel and enjoyed my stay. The location was perfect for me to access my favorite spots as well as super convenient to walk to and from the train station. This is important to me as I travel light and was able to walk from the station to check into my room. It is very close and makes for getting in and out of the city as well as into your excursions in Rome very easy. The staff was wonderful and supportive of my needs.

Budget conscious 1

Disliked: Room comfort
At least it was cheap
I mostly have negative things to say about this hotel, but it's important to remember that it's actually quite adequate and reasonable if you are traveling alone. Breakfast is not fancy but free and includes decent coffee or cappucino. The bathroom was clean enough as were the other parts of the room, but the room was super small and tight, and the bed was lacking in comfort. A huge downside is you are required to leave your room key at the front desk whenever you leave, and retrieve them from there when you return. Also it costs 10 EUR to leave your bags with reception until after 3pm after you check out. Free wifi is available only in the lobby.

The matress was extremely firm, the pillow was flat. The mold on the ceiling of the bathroom was gross. The air conditioning could not be turned on. The view was horrble and the other air conditions that did work in other rooms were very noisy with our window open. The elevator did not work. Breakfast was scanty, although the women serving breakfast couldn't have been nicer. The front desk people were good, but the front desk was a half block away from the hotel..

Schöne Unterkunft mitten im Stadtzentrum. Metro und Stadtzentrum leicht erreichbar. Bars und Restaurants direkt vor der Haustür. Nachts ist der Straßenlärm halt leider ziemlich laut, aber man kann das Fenster schließen, da Klimaanlage vorhanden. Also kein großes Problem. Alles in allem hatten wir einen tollen Urlaub und waren absolut zufrieden mit dem Hotel.

Hôtel très pratique pour visiter Rome le temps d’un court séjour car proche de nombreux lieux importants et du métro. Chambre propre et salle de bain fonctionnelle. Seul bémol l’ascenseur qui a un fonctionnement assez spécial que nous n’avons pas réussi à comprendre. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
