We found this hotel to be just what we needed. We travelled with two very small children and the staff were friendly and helpful (unlike the rest of Rome which seemed to be full of people unwilling to help tourists). The area was a little 'seedy' - but then we found most of Rome to be the same! We never had a problem with the shuttle bus - we always managed to get on. The Metro was fantastic and cheap. We were deposited right out the front of the major tourist attractions within minutes of leaving Ponte Mamalo station. The supermarket near the hotel was a real eye-opener for these Aussies - we had tonnes of fun trying out all the interesting foods we found, we saved heaps of money stocking up on softdrinks and snacks and it was great to get out and be amongst the people who live in Rome. As we had the children, we didn't go out at night, except for a trip to the pizzeria around the corner (delicious)! This hotel might be a problem if you were wanting to tour Rome by night as I imagine taxi fares to the hotel would be very expensive. Breakfast was yummy and plentiful, great coffee too. For a group of travellers (with a double pram) who wanted to save money for spending, this was a perfect retreat. We have recommended it to close friends as a great option for those travelling with children. We would DEFINATELY stay there again (if we're lucky enough to return to Rome!)

We stayed on this Hotel and it was perfect for us! Just a places to drop our suitcases and leave early in the morning and come back to sleep let at night. We were just to get around the city as much as we could with our kids were 3 and 6 and they enjoyed it.
Closed to the subway! And like 20 min. ride to the city.
There were 2 double beds so the four of us shared. Overall I would say this is a great hotel for the price if you are just looking for a place to sleep, shower, have breakfast and take the road till late night. Perhaps not the most convenient if all you want to stay in the facilities, but if you want a clean please to stay, look no more!

Stayed 2 nights, arrived late, thankfully by car as the shuttle finishes at 10:00pm, a desolate area, with many prostitutes working the nearby streets. Hotel itself was as one expects from Holiday Inn Express, modern, clean and very good breakfast by Rome standards, however we did have to change room as the previous occupant had decided to smoke himself stupid, judging by the number of cigarette ends and stench of this dedicated non smoking room. Housekeeping seem to be a law to themselves so when things were taken away like the kettle and tea/coffee, the very helpful duty manager provided a drink from the cafe/bar on the house which was pretty good of him. I understand this is an area that is seeing quite a bit of development, but opening a hotel with such poor local infrastructure and obvious social problems expecting to attract both business and tourist travellers seems a little arogant. The staff do their best but the problems with the neighbourhood mean this will not be a place I shall return to.

This hotel has the same category that other Holiday Inn.
Nice and helpful people, great breakfast, Internet access (pay), and great guestrooms and a big bathroom, a very useful sofa and very clean and nice.
The only thing criticizeable is the area where it is located. You are very far from downtown and metro station. The only way to go to the station is with a free hotel shuttle each half hour until 10PM or by bus, but you have to carry a buscard to use it.
You have in the front block a big supermarket (Auchan) and a few blocks little stores for the neighbourhood, of course, cheaper that at downtown.
It is a hotel to enjoy but you can't return in the middle of the day because you will spend a lot of time travelling, unless you will have a car, twhich is not recommended at Rome!!
