This hotel gave us exactly what we wanted - a safe base with a fantastic pool to keep cool in.

The hotel staff were lovely as they looked after this single female traveller and her little nephew. Bus times, directions all in English to help me understand.

The breakfasts are better than the standard fare on package holidays and as the previous reviews suggested I tried MIrkos, in fact we had our own seats by the end of the week!

This hotel completely suited our needs, a pool break with links to the city for a little adventure.

Getting to Rome is easier than getting to the beach although all possible on bus and metro. The coast isnt the prettiest and the public beaches are hard to access and obviously not receiving the most investment but the views from the beach make up for it.

The biggest challenge about picking this hotel is getting from the airport. Technically the cheapest route is to go in towards Rome and out again via metro. The taxi would have cost us about £70 well over any amount registered in the hotel information , however the taxi driver took pity on me with my young nephew and only charged around £50.00
Bear this in mind if you book here and you did so to save money on a hotel as there may be others nearer the centre if you add the taxi fee are a better deal. (if the hotel reads this please sort out a reliable airport pick up and this hotel would be ideal.)

During the week the hotel pool is used by local people and the primary school for swimming lessons which I found quirky otherwise it was very quiet through the week. At the weekends however the pool was inundated by locals who book out all the best sunbeds. What no one told us was we had to reserve beds even if hotel guests. I didnt like this and felt reception should have let us know this as they knew it may impact our stay. It worked out ok...just but we were not considered favourably on a Saturday or Sunday and I found this the only let down from the hotel as it could so easily have been managed.

We loved this hotel as it gave us a taste of real Italy and would go back in a heartbeat if we didnt like going to new places each year.

Stayed at this hotel on a long weekend to celebrate my birthday. Had no real expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Room was clean, well decorated.
Location suited us as we didnt want to say in the heart of Rome.
Great value for money, would stay again.

We stayed for 5 nights and I have never experienced customer service as awful as at this hotel. I dont think i saw one person smile the whole time we were there and god forbid you ever asked them a question!! My mum's handbag went 'missing' one morning in the dining area and not one of the staff were willign to help us look for it or to log it as an incident. The rooms and bathrooms are outdated and there's no AC so stay away in the summer! If you're going to the area stay at the 'I Triangoli' hotel which is nearby.

I had booked this hotel as a surprise for my wife, based on facilities and cost. A week or so before we left, my wife read the reviews on TripAdvisor and was put off, so much so, I tried to change the hotel, but was too late. We neednt have bothered trying.

The hotel is situated in a quiet area of South-West Rome. The bus stops just outside hotel complex every 15mins and brings you direct to metro stop, where you can easily access all areas of central Rome. The interior of the hotel was very clean and bright, and typical of the area. The room was clean and spacious. The staff were also friendly and did speak a little english (a lot more than the Italian we could speak!). The facilities were excellent - and although the outdoor pool was closed (expected in March) the leisure complex had a decent indoor heated pool, superb gym, sauna and beauty area, and also had a kiddies playroom too.

All in all, the hotel was exceptional value at under £50 per night with the only downside being the travelling back to it at night (total travel time from Colosseum was approx 30mins). If you didnt mind that, I would highly recommend it.
