I would recommend this hotel as a “pit stop” on a road trip rather than a place to stay when visiting Rome.

We spent a fortune on Taxis over the few days we were there, the price depending on the route / driver / time it was €20-€30 each way getting to the city centre and €75 from the Airport. One Driver turned up with €13 on the clock to collect us claiming it was so far out he had to start the meter for it to be worthwhile!

The hotel is fine, clean and basic, the day staff were friendly enough, and breakfast was not bad, (although you need to be up early to get any of the hot stuff).

We really struggled with the Air-con too, it stayed hot all the time no matter how cold we set it, so we ended up switching it off and opening the large window all night.

The Hotel is in the middle of nowhere, ( Taxi drivers moaned when you showed them the address) its surrounded by Electrical towers and buildings progress, It says that it is 5k from The colosseo… they must have moved it the week we were there!

The Hotel is in the middle of a vast empty area surrounded by freeways, huge electrical towers and nothing else. Except for Maria ...who usually works in the late evenings ... all the lobby folks were rude and unprofessional. Girls specially working in the morning are more focused on make ups and having good time with other hotel staffers rather than helping the guests.

If not anything else you must look at the location of this hotel which cannot be any worse. Limited hotel shuttle runs from 7:30AM to 11:00AM and then again from 5:45pm to 10:00PM. Not reliable at all and you can get stuck at the Metro Station ending up paying Euro25 cab fare. There are only 16 seats in the shuttle and to our huge surprise we saw people fight (really fist fights) at the train station to get in to the shuttle. Police were also involved that evening. What a way to treat the hotel guests.

I suggest since you are there in Rome spend a bit more and stay away from here. It does not worth it.

Terrible location. Air-conditioning was not on even tho it was warm for October. Shuttle bus times are limited - no afternoon service. Local bus stop is a distance away. Breakfast buffet runs out of eggs early in the morning. Area is under construction - so there is noise all day.......also near a concert tent....of course a concert was in full sound and fury as we came back late from Rome on the local bus. Music was heard thru our closed windows without the air conditioning........ key lock did not work until after going back to the front desk three times.......

Hotel staff was indifferent to most of our concerns.

I would have no recommendation for this place. Stay away!

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!)
