After reading some of the review I am surprised.

We stayed at this hotel and loved it. It was clean, well furnished, had a great bathtub after a long day of sight seeing.

We found the breakfast good, who wants a heavy meal in the heat they get there anyway with a full day of sightseeing ahead of you.

There is a fabulous restraunt across the street at the end of the block...its a restraunt by day and turns into a night club at night and it was fun to go for dinner and then watch the locals come in at night to unwind.

It was a bit far from the metro where you had to buy tickets but it was a nice walk, and we learnt quickly to buy enough tickets for a couple days on your first trip to the metro then the bus is just down the road.....very easy to get around on.

This was our last stop during our Trafalgar tour and as many other people have said, it is way out of town and there is nothing close by. Since I had read other reviews before leaving, I was prepared and picked up a large sandwich and snacks during one of our bus stops on the way into Rome. The rooms were nice and comfortable with a large bathroom and very clean. It is close to the airport and met our needs. When the mall is completed, that should give people staying there other options, but it looked like there was still a lot to be done.

Excellent hotel, with very nice rooms. Superb bathrooms! Excellent breakfast. Very helpful and friendly hotel staff.

A little out of the way, with not much to walk to. The exterior of the hotel doesn't look like much.

Just wanted to say that I stayed here during the last night of a group tour. This hotel had the most comfortable beds I found during my 2 weeks in Italy. Of course, the location isn't great for sightseeing, but when I was there, a big shopping mall was being built right next door. At least there will be something near the hotel when that's finished. I'd recommend this place especially if you want to stay a night near the airport.

Other reviews of this hotel have been fairly negative and this one will be no exception.

This hotel is quite far from the sights of Rome. You have to walk to the tobacconist shop to travel tickets first, then board the bus to the train station. The train station is the 2nd last from the end. To travel to the Spanish Steps would take about 45 mins. The Romans certainly know how to grafitti the outside of trains!!

After having dinner out, we returned to the train station to catch the bus at around 10pm. Be cautioned that this does not feel like a particularly safe area. ie, not many people around, could not find a cab, fairly dark, and just hoping the bus would turn up. But having said that, the hotel staff were able to give us a useful map and a sheet with some basic travel instructions - and we were able to get around fairly well. Just remember that when getting the bus back to the hotel from the train station, go to the same spot where you were dropped off. It can be confusing as there are many bus stands in different locations (upstairs and downstairs) all around that station.

The breakfast here is also very, very basic. They have bread, cheese and ham. After travelling across Italy and enjoying a hot breakfast, we found the food here to be disappointing.

The hotel itself was not too bad. The rooms were clean and comfy. It does face onto a major road, and on the left side (facing the hotel from the road) is some major building construction.

I would not recommend this hotel.
