Hotel Derby is about 10 min walk away from the Garbatella metro on line B, which means 3-4 stops from the centre of the tourist area. It's in a quiet mainly residential location near a couple of universities to the south of the city. It's not a top notch hotel but the prices reflect that. Some of the rooms and facilities such as showers are "compact" but we had a twin room which was perfectly adequate. What was best was the genuine helpfulness and good natures of the front-of-house staff in providing maps, information and advice. There are a few local eateries - pizza, pasta, mixture. If you don't mind a short commute to and for each day, and you don't need or want a top-of-the-line hotel and price, then this is as good as any in our opinion.
