Hotel is adequate itself -- room was a fine size (outdated decor for sure) and the pool was nice in July. Hotel staff was on the friendly side and there is a good restaurant literally around the corner and as you are nowhere near a tourist area you get to eat with the local Romans.
The down side, if you're in Rome for the sites or if you're looking for a hotel near the airport, is that the hotel is in a residential neighborhood which is poorly connected by public transportation (if you have a rental car you might be in OK shape). The hotel does not have a shuttle and the day we were there the taxi cab drivers decided to strike -- getting to the hotel became a nightmare. This is not the hotel's fault but if it happens you'll wish you had a downtown hotel or accommodations closer to the airport!

We found this hotel to be excellent. The location was ideal to venture into rome without city centre prices. The hotel offered a pool, gym, and all services you would expect for a european hotel of its calabre.

The surrounding area offered good shoping and an excellent pizzeria called Mirkos. Which included an english menu (for those who's italian was lacking)!

Access to Rome was through a bus ride from outside the hotel to the efficiant metro service. The metro is the heartbeat of Rome - anywhere is accessable.

The highlight of the trip was (apart from the Colloseum, Roman Forum, Spanish Steps, Vatican, Trevi Fountain etc). was the excellent restaurant called Sitar. Located on Via Cavor this (from a British prospective) was the most amazing Indian meal we have ever experienced. The host was excellent and the food was 1st class.

From an American point of view (not mine thank christ!) the service was crap - no ice - no Dunkin donunts, can't get the Yankee's on this TV, no bagels, etc.

If your new to a city break Rome is the place to visit - if your American? Where can you visit?

The place was cheap but the location, the lack of airport transportation (eventhough it is listed on their website), and the unfriendly staff made the hotel a bad place to stay.


There is a place to eat right outside the hotel but the staff will not inform you about it.

Do not go to this hotel

Hotel was quite basic. Didn't get a good impression when we arrived as the furniture in the lobby was dirty. The room was clean but decor is dated.

The pool was nice and this hotel is ok to stay at if you are not spending much time in your room. There is not much to do around the area so you need to travel into central Rome.

Didn't eat much here - although there is an excellent and very cheap place to eat next door.
