We were part of a KUMUKA Tour and had no choice but to say here - our room was filthy, dirty, dark and dingy. Single beds that sank in the middle, opened the sliding door and a swamp of mosquitos came in. Walls, carpets and windows smeared with dirt. A school group of young kids was also staying here at the same time which added to the unpleasurable experience. Quite a walk to the nearerst metro station to actually get into Rome. Wouldnt even pay 10euros to stay here. Breakfast was also discusting wouldnt even pay 2euros for it. Overall grounds overgrown, could hardly even get into our room with dodgy door handle/lock. WARNING STAY AWAY

We made our reservations in America through a travel agent a few months before our stay. Once we arrived in Europe we wanted to drive to Rome a day earlier from northern Italy. The hotel said only our travel agency could change our hotel arrival date. Our first night was in a dirty old room which faced the parking lot and front of the building. At 2am a noisy bus group of people were leaving and at 5am a noisy bus group of people were arriving. We could not sleep because of the noise. The next two nights we slept in a newly remodeled suite. The furniture was new, but the walls were dirty with piling paint and old carpet. The king size beds are two twins next to each other. All rooms offer only twin beds or a pull out sleeper sofa. The food and coffee at breakfast was not fresh or tasty. We traveled by car for 5 weeks in Europe and this was the worst hotel. It should be a 2 star hotel at the most.

The tiny bathrooms in this hotel are DANGEROUS! Stayed here with a touring party of 36 for two nights. There were four reported mishaps, including my own fall.

The hotel is rather a large complex on the outskirts of the centre of Rome. We visited the hotel twice as part of a Tourama tour of Italy. The first time we visited we were located in a small apartment type room with a tiny kitchen area and a small, clean bathroom. The balcony looked out onto the hotel gardens.

There was ‘entertainment’ at the hotel every night and on our first stay this was a gentleman who believed he was much better at being a DJ and singer than he was. Guests on the tour were divided about how they felt about him. Some were annoyed at the lack of peace in the evening and had been kept awake, others, like myself, thought it was hilarious!

We only ate breakfast at this hotel. The breakfast was self service cold, continental buffet style. The croissants were delicious.

The second time we stayed, on the return leg of the tour, we had a room on the same corridor but it was HUGE. We loved it. The room featured a large lounge area and enormous balcony. Unfortunately, we only slept there one night. If you are on the tour it seems simply down to luck which type of room you get but I think having two single beds helps.

The hotel is located close to the Cornelia tube station. Walk out of the hotel, down the long drive and turn left. Continue down the main Aurelia road and turn left at the McDonalds. (There are lots of restaurants and cafes of all types near the hotel) The tube station sign should be visible within seconds. The walk takes about fifteen minutes maximum.

The tube tickets are very cheap and the trains are frequent and clean. It was nothing like the tube in London and not intimidating. There are only two lines, so you don’t need to fear getting lost. They roughly form a cross with the Termi in the middle. Cornelia is on line A which, you can use to reach the Trevi Fountain. If you change at the termi for line B you can get to the Colosseum. Clearly, between the two lines you get everywhere!

I liked this hotel and I thought it was in a very good location for sightseeing in Rome. I would go back again.
