Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. Breakfast was not bad - coffee machine was not brilliant. Only a choice of cold rolls with ham or cheese, croissants, fruit and yoghurts. The room was very nice - we were on the 5th floor - nice and quiet apart from the room next door had people singing in it until 1am! Television with 1 English news channel. Plenty of lights. 2 large balconies but no where to sit! No duvets. Blankets. Easy to get to from the main Termini in Rome to Laurentina and when you come out of the station it is just up the road. Good supermarket nearby which you can stock up on drinks for your mini fridge in the room (far cheaper than hotel prices). Excellent to get to Colloseum from.

The positives: the room was clean, the furniture new, the reception staff efficient.
The negatives: the (single) room was tiny. The temperature gauge on the (old) radiator was missing, the table map did not work, the door to the bathroom did not close, the windows were single glazed and rattled, the room door afforded no sound insulation and conversations at the end of the corridor sounded as if they were in the room, the gym was small and stuffed with machines (no treadmill though, nor TV).
The worst: the night I ate there, there was no menu, no prices, choice from waiter for the second course was "steak, chicken or pork", we were offered no bread, no water, no salt / pepper...; the breakfast the next morning was frankly dreadful and seemed to be as cheap as they could possibly get away with - bad orange juice out of a machine (ie not fresh orange), horrible coffee out of a machine; the cheese was plasticky; there were no teaspoons (soup spoons had to be used to eat yoghourt and stir sugar into coffee); you had to find your own table, ask for plates, join long line for the coffee machine.

The hotel was busy and I was left wondering who would choose to stay there (I was working nearby) : it looked liked German coach trippers. There appears to be a dearth of good hotels nearby. Stay here if you absolutely have to, but eat elsewhere and as someone else said, don't expect a 4 star hotel.

Well the hotel was not a typical four star hotel but it was worth the money we paid for our room. The room was very small but clean. We also had a tv and a hairdryer in our room. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even ordered us a taxi without charging an extra fee for it. They also sopke English very well. The food was not bad and for breakfast there was a cold buffet with croissants, roles, fruits and cereals. However it was very crowded and we had to just had to sit at a table which still had dirty dishes on it. For dinner they ask you wether you want water and they will charge you for it. Its not very expensive though and cheaper then water in Austria.
The metro is also very close and within 20 minutes you are at Trevoli Station.
There was also very good gelateria 5 minutes away. By the taxi stands you turn left and on the right side. We went there twice and it was always full of locals.
There are no other Restaurants close so either you eat in the Restaurant there, eat in town or go to a Pizzeria which there are enough of close to the Restaurant.
I think that the hotel was worth what we paid for it and the location is also not bad because you are located a bit out of town.

After reading some of the reviews about this hotel I was really worried about what I had booked throughThomson. I had bought some ear plugs (in readiness) which were helpful for those in our party who had rooms by the road. If you can,ask for a room at the back so you can avoid the road noise and these rooms have a balcony that overlooks the hotel terrace gardens
which catches the evening sun. The hotel staff were polite and helpful, the rooms were very clean and breakfast was as much as you can eat. Although situated at the end of the metro line B ,this had a number of advantages always guarnateed a seat taking you direct to the Colossum (15 min). Lauretina also has a bus terminus at the metro station and the number 30 takes takes you direct into the centre of Rome if you want some of the piazzas, just get off at Argentino and you have Piazzo Narvonna one side and Campo Fiora the other, lovely restaurants and bars, excellent to watch the world go by. Just sit and die on the bus ,0 min later your there!
