We stayed at this hotel one year ago and I am finally able to write about my experience. It was horrible! The pictures on the website showed the hotel in much better condition than it actually was. We booked a reservation for one night to be close to the airport for our early morning flight but it is not very close to the airport. There are no decent restaurants in the area and the neighborhood was somewhat sketchy - there was a pack of dogs that barked outside for many hours in the middle of the night. I would never stay here again and would tell my friends and family to book a room at the Marriott near the airport even if it is more expensive.

This was the last hotel we were to stay at for our honeymoon, which was advertised as being within the vicinity of the airport. This hotel is NOWHERE near the airport! The taxi driver had no idea where it was located, which should have been our first sign of trouble. This hotel cost 50 euros to get to the hotel! And it is in the middle of nowhere, and we did not feel safe. Upon asking the front desk of where we could find dinner, we were advised to go to the local grocery store. Once seeing our room, which was again advertised as 4 stars but looked like a cheap college dorm room with tile floors, we immediately called hotels.com to complain. We left the hotel within the hour, and paid another 50 euros to get to the Marriott Courtyard that was actually located within the airport vicinity and was listed at 4 stars. Needless to say, the differences between the Marriott and Atahotel were HUGE. Do not stay at this hotel.

I went through hotels.com for my reservation to the Atahotel Domina Residence. I was confused by the review not being close to central Rome. However, the map on the location site put it about 10-15 minute walk from the train station and about a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum. So I booked it. Getting to Rome found me located more that 12 miles (18-20km) from central Rome. I needed to take a train and a bus to get there. Needless to say, I cancelled my reservation which they accepted for the three nights I was within the 24 hour cancellation period. However, even though they deceived me with their map, did not cancel me out for the first night. I think because of their deceit, I should not have been charged for the first night. They disagreed. I am not very happy with their management. Why should I pay for their deceitfulness? I even informed them about the wrong map and even two months later, it has not been changed.

Having stayed in self hotels/aparthotels in Spain, Portugal and Italy, this was the best so far from the point of view of value for money and cleanliness. With secure parking, a regular shuttle bus to railway station and a 20 minute train trip to centre of Rome. 15 minutes in the other direction to the beaches.
The thing that made it for us was the helpful staff - nothing was too much trouble for them.
