The hotel itself was very good, although high priced. The drawback was that it took about 25 minutes to get to city center because we had to walk 15 minutes to the metro, then take the metro a few stops to the center. Also, for the price charge, I expected a better breakfast.

I had read all of the reviews I could find on the hotel before we traveled, so I had a little concern when we checked in. As soon as we got there the concern disappeared. The hotel is most pleasant, clean and located in a very quiet neighborhood. The staff was most helpful. Once you understand the bus and metro system getting to and from anywhere in Rome or the surrounding areas is a cinch. (you can familiarise yourself on line) Bed was really comfortable, bathroom large, hotel quiet. One tip, before we flew in we hired a car through Roma Shuttle, Driver met us loaded the bags, and delivered two tired campers for 40 euro, The also take credit cards in the car. One other important tip, use ATM machines rather than currency converters, that is unless you like throwing money away. There was a slight fee from my bank, but nothing like the money changers..

we were satisfied.. best to take bus service to Bologna Metro..bus numbers 109 or 93... a tobacco shop near to sell you 3-day passes whcih covers the metro and buses..

Choose this hotel if you get a good price and don't mind a bit of travelling to and from the centre.. The connections are good enough as you have a few buses going directly to the termini station. The bus stop is around 200-250m walk. The express bus would take 10min while non express would take 20min. We did not try the taxi as it would be expensive sing it all the time.. With the Roma pass the buses are free anyway!

We went over easter and this hotel gave a good price as compared to others. Obviously it carries the Mercure name.. so it has to be good and it was good in all other aspects... quite, good spacious rooms, courteous staff.. good breakfast...
