My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. We are Platnium with Marriott and choose the hotel due to the price.

We used the train to get to the hotel from the airport without any issue and utilized the free shuttle to and from the city while we were there. Only once was the shuttle full on a Sunday morning. Most of the time it was us and one other couple. If you elect to take the train back from the city, be sure to get on the local and not the express. We made the mistake once and ended up an hour and half outside of Rome!

Our rate included breakfast. It provided a good American/European selection, but neither of us would touch the scrambled eggs. We also had dinner in the restaurant one night. It was Ok, but nothing great.

We really enjoyed dinner at a place a block and half from the hotel called, Gaia. It is an organic restaurant and pizzaria. We also went to the local "typical Italian restaurant" and also had good service.

The hotel is undergoing renovation and I would say is a good value for what you are paying.

We found the hotel clean and well maintained, the staff were friendly and professional. The room was clean and exactly as expected, so no complaints at all.

Although on the outskirts of the city, the hotel provides an excellent mini-bus on every hour throughout the day right into the city centre which we made daily use of, with the return on every half hour. The journey took about 20 mins and stops near the metro station near St. Peters so you can also jump on the Metro if you have plans to go somewhere else.

One morning we needed to get into the city early before the first mini-bus left at 8.00am. We took the train from the station 5 mins from the hotel for a short journey a few stops to connect with the Metro Line A. This worked well and we were in the city ahead of schedule.

I would not recommend walking into the city from this hotel. We walked in once, and once was enough, its not the best walk and it took over an hour to reach St.Peters.

I cannot comment on the breakfast or evening meal as we chose not to eat in the hotel, due to the expensive prices. There are very few places to eat in the area around the hotel. We mixed with the locals in the morning for a coffee (go to the end of the short road in front of the hotel, and walk straight across to find these places), but unless you want to pay hotel prices for food, best to eat in the central areas of the city, then catch the mini-bus or taxi back.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel.
