We needed a place to stay in central Rome after our original accommodation fell through at 4pm on our first night -- 939 was able to get us set up in a pinch and the front desk was very helpful and accommodating considering the circumstances. The room was quite small -- we had to climb over our stuff to get around the bed and we were traveling with just two carry on-sized suitcases and backpacks. We didn't notice anything in terrible condition but the room wasn't in great shape overall. Wifi was passable. There is an elevator but no breakfast. Didn't bother us a ton because we were constantly out and about, and really what you are paying for is the location. The location can't be beat -- you're a 10-20 minute walk from just about everything. We took way fewer taxis than we thought we would because we knew we could walk, and if you do need a taxi you're very close to the river and some major streets so you don't have to call ahead or walk forever to hit an actual street with traffic. It felt nice knowing we were never that far from the room if we needed it. We were happy with the price given a lot of the other options in the same part of the city. So if you're traveling light, don't plan on spending much time in your room, and want something reasonably priced in a great walking-friendly location, you'll probably be satisfied.
