We booked this hotel at only $100 a night through hotwire. When we told the manager that it was our 10th wedding anniversary, he upgraded our room. Our room was spacious and we had a stunning view over the pool and into the ruins. It was quiet and the staff was friendly and attentive. The bathroom was very nice and we had a large and comfortable bed. Other reviewers have complained about faded carpeting or peeling wall paper. There is just a tiny bit of that but I never would have noticed it if I hadn't read about it first. It is just normal wear and tear for your typical european hotel.

The hotel boasts an American-style breakfast which they intend to compare against your standard European continental. This means you get the usual pastries and cold cuts plus a few hot items like mass produced scrambled eggs and little sausages. Not excellent but a perfectly fine way to start the day. Coffee was made to order and was excellent, and there is fresh squeezed orange juice.

The hotel lobby could use some updating, and there is this wonderful sort of unintentionally kitsch bar where a one-man show is performed by a lounge singer and his keyboard.

As for the complimentary shuttle service, yes, you are dependent on it to get into the city but we found this to be no problem at all. Plus, Rome is SO noisy, we were grateful to have our quiet resort hotel to come home to after a day of exploring trying to navigate the scooters and other tourists.

Of all the hotels we stayed in during our tow-week trip, this one was a great value and I would stay here again without hesitation for a stay longer than three nights.

This hotel was booked as part of our Globus tour (a family tour). The first thing to know is that this hotel is about a 20 euro cab ride from city centre. It had a lovely swimming pool which we took full advantage of - it was Rome's first heat wave of the summer. We toured in the morning until around 1-2pm and headed back to the hotel for some pool time - everyone appreciated it. It brought us back to life for dining and walking in Rome central in the evening.

I was not impressed by the dining room, it was servicable, that is as much as I could say. Not much of an ambience, more of a feeling of a sectioned-off room.

The setting of the hotel is impressive - you could be anywhere, you are truly set apart from the hustle of the city. It is quite tranquil. Lots of lush trees. I believe that it borders on Rome's largest park.

Our room was fine, with a balcony. Our son was with us, so we had a cot in the room for him. Everything worked fine.

All in all, I would recommend this hotel to those who are going in the summer who want a place to get away from the touring for a little, to re-charge their batteries by the pool.

We stayed here for 4 nights in September 2008 out of a total of 14 nights in Italy. Excellent rooms, nice pool and excellent connections into Rome with the complimentary transport. Great value, booking on-line with Wotif.com, highly recommended.

For a Salesconference I had to arrange we ended up at this hotel In Rome...and it was a big hit!

The hotel had everything well organized, amazing personell who did everything for us (even tracking shipments etc!) and the rooms were very spacious, clean and modern.
It had internet access, CNN on the TV and many more!
The conference rooms were perfect and everything had airconditioning.

We loved the location! It's a 10 minutes drive from every highlight from Rome and costs appr. € 13,- per cab drive. Also they have hotel shuttles which work perfect as well and then they drop you off in the area of the Vatican. Perfect but as we were lazy we often took the cab. For your information, I also stayed afterwards at a hotel downtown Rome (close to the Colleseum) and I truly wished that I stayed at the Villa Pamphili. The noise you have downtown makes it hard to sleep at night and the price/quality is so huge that I would say.......stay at Villa Pamphili!

They also had a wonderful pool where we were able to cool down!

Overall...definetely a great hotel for privat visits to Rome ánd for Business trips/conferences!
