I stayed here with a tour group and although the hotel was excellant it was not close enough to Rome. They did provide a free shuttle (first come basis) to the center of Rome near the Forum and back. The room was clean and so was the bathroom. There was a restaurant and a pool but I did not take advantage of either. The subway has a stop within easy walking distance. This hotel would be better for business travelers than for sightseeing but great if need fast access to the highways.

We chose this hotel, as we were visiting family friends and this is one of the ones closest to them.

It is in a business district of Rome, and just inside the suburbs of Rome. If you want to spend time seeing the sights, this hotel is too far out, unless you know your way around, stay somewhere closer to the city centre. however, it is Ideal for FCO airport, which is just down the road, fellow guests included stayovers for the offices around it and also the World Food Program. when we left on Saturday morning, hotel felt as though it would be empty most of the weekend.

Rooms are exactly like you would expect from a Holiday Inn, Same standard, Bed, Pillows, Plastic sink area in Bathroom, only problem with room was that fan was not working so room was quite warm first night.

Room and public areas spotless, and what interaction we had with the hotel staff was friendly and helpful.

Outdoor pool was closed because it was 'still winter', no problems with that though.

Breakfast is expensive at 28 euro, and food is standard at city business hotel rates of 14 euros for a main course (Think of travellers that can claim on expenses). Eating areas immediatley outside the hotel are very limited

Although I say I would reccomend this hotel to a friend and it is not a bad hotel, If I did not have family friends in Rome, I stay closer to tour the city centre.

And yes i did hear the dogs in the pound barking at about midnight, but to me it was only for a few seconds, and only because there was no other noise outside at that time.

Stayed here for one night following a week in other parts of Italy because of the hotel's proximity to the Rome Airport. During the expensive breakfast ($30 for a basic buffet) I left my bags with the maitre d' of the restaurant who assured me that they were safe with him. Instead, a bag was stolen and conveniently found in a part of the hotel I'd never been to after I threatened to call the police. The rooms are mediocre, the food is expensive and not very good, and in my experience there's a major theft problem so I'd steer clear of the place.

We stayed here just because we were familiar with the chain and we needed a place to stay close to the airport due to our early morning flight. The hotel is about average for the brand. There is a wondeerful restaurant just across the parking lot which I would recommend (over the hotel restaurant). If you are considering this because you want to explore Rome, DON'T! There is nothing around this place except industrial buildings and the airport. If you are not arriving or departing early or late from the ariport, there is no reason to pick this hotel.
