At first I was hesitant based on the reviews I have seen. But based on my experience, it was a good hotel to stay at. It was a 20 minute bus ride the center of rome (BUS 808 and 881). The breakfast was one the the better ones I had in my entire stay. The staff was helpful, the rooms was a decent sixe. I had a triple room. The rate was excellent. I even took the bus then the train from the airport. We got the 3 day ROMA pass which covers the train and bus rides. I am not sure why other people rated this hotel bad. You need to keep in mind that you get what you paid for. As for me, my family got far more than what we paid for.

I would stay here again if I came back to Rome.

This hotel was absolutly horrific. It is being renovated, so there is scaffolding everywhere. the staff was not very helpful with directions. When you walk into the hotel, there are stains all over the carpet. The rooms are tiny, the air did not work. It was a huge disappointment. Could not even think about eating there, just from the looks of the dirty carpet and gross rooms. Would never ever go there again. Signs everywhere about the "new and improved hotel coming soon" obviously from these other reviews, renovations have been going on since 2006!!! Not a big fan.

We stayed here on our last night in Italy. We chose it because it was inexpensive. Also, the location suited us as it was a pretty straight shot to the airport in the morning. The room was adequate but the hotel was charmless and it was in a dreary neighborhood. If you are on a budget I wouldn't discourage you from staying here. Just don't use the phone or drink any beverages from your room as you will be charged an arm and a leg for them. Apparently they compensate for the low prices by charging exhorbitant prices for these amenities.

I was terrified of this hotel because of bad reviews but after I have been there I can say that hotel is not that bad at all. There are two major disadvantages, it is very far from the city center, it takes about 5-6 bus stations + 5-6 metro stations to get to the center of Rome (30-40 min. and even longer by night). On the other hand there is a bus line no. 881 that takes you directly to the Vatican city. Second major disadvantage is that hotel is really, but I mean REALLY old. It looks like it is frozen in 1970's. However it is currently being renovated. Good things about this hotel are that rooms are spacious, relatively clean, hotel has garage parking which is free (that way you can save 30-40 EUR per day if you are coming to Rome by car), the personnel is very friendly and helpful and breakfast is really excellent. Considering very low price, I can recommend this hotel to budget travelers. They advertise this hotel to have 4 stars but in my opinion it is close to 2+ or 3 stars, even by European standards. This hotels definitely isn't the Hilton but it does the job.
