The reason we booked this place was simple, we were arriving of the car ferry from spain with our car - staying for the evening and then heading for the airport the next morning. As such not being in the chaotic centre of town, preferably on or near the motorway loop that encircles rome, having some parking and being relatively cheap. This hotel meets all of those criteria. and it was very cheap so thumbs up for that ($40 euro for 2 including breakfast) Saying that, there are plenty of things that are not so good . Firstly its in the centre of nowhere, even thou this wasnt important to us and we had a car but even so, its still miles from anywhere and you have to drive quite a while to find a resturant or anything - so if your on foot - no way - it also is extremely far from the attractions - we had a GPS so it got us there ok - if you dont hope your good with maps The rooms are actually ok, nice and tidy no complaints about the room quality for the price, 4 star would be a stretch but for $40 euro pretty good - the number one problem with this room is in Summer its unbearably hot - sure they have aircon - but its controlled centrally by reception by room - and they keep it off saves power i guess - it was about 30deg plus in our room - and we opened the windows when we first arrived before we figured out you had to go ask for aircon - bad mistake - once you do that - the aircon is disabled in your room - for how long - a true mystery - well they said a few hours - 10 hours later still not on - the woman at reception basically couldnt care less - and said what do you expect if you open a window!. The breakfast which was included was pretty average - sure it was free - but its like one of those proverbs - is the breakfast free if you cant eat it ? - sure had a few things but mostly it was cheap and scarce and a little dubious on how old some of the things were. Internet was wireless only and expensive cant remember how much but it was like $5 euro per hour paid in advance - which was a surprise as we had stayed in about 10-15 hotels on our trip and it was the first and only that charged extra for the internet

Ok overall it was cheap and it served our purpose - the heat in the room and the lack of caring was the major issue, and should we have been staying on i would have demanded another room or left as it you simply couldn't sleep . The location is poor if you want to go to the center of town but the price is very good on this occasion. - So up to you - my suggestion if price is your number one criteria and its still cheap and you factor in transportation costs then could be ok - personally i would recommend another place called the Sunrise which is far closer to the attractions and is in the middle of a little village with lots of amenities nearby , nicer and has air conditioning that works a small pool and staff that are friendly and includes a 10x better breakfast, internet, and parking and not a lot more in price. Over to you

I stayed here as part of my Contiki tour. Unfortunately, I was supposed to stay 2 nights but the hotel was overbooked, and a few of us on the tour were put up in another hotel about 20 mins away.

My second night in Rome was spent here. I had to leave my luggage behind the front desk in the morning and when I came back at night I could check into my room.

The room itself was spacious and very clean. The mattress was a bit hard from what I can recall.

The breakfast however was not great. The eggs were cold, but I was really hungry and didn't really mind at that point. The breakfast they serve the tour groups is vastly different from the one they serve their other hotel guests. Apparently that breakfast is great.

Either way, as some people said this hotel was out of the way for them, for us it was great because I was on tour and it was about 20 euro cab ride from the city.

Overall, I had a good stay.

The Hotel is literary in the middle of nowhere. They give you some directions when you book it but these directions gets you ...guess where....yes that's right NOWHERE.

Me & my wife look for it for about 2-3 hours because that's interesting now - Rome has two train stops called La Giustiniana and they are about 1 hours away from each other. So if you chose that hotel be careful and just to let you know to get from the hotel to Rome town centre you have to walk 10min(if you don't wait for the hotel minivan going once per hour to the train stop and you have to BOOK you seat in it). So you walk 10 min to the bus stop, wait for the bus, then travel 10-15 min with the bus to get to the train station. From there you have to wait and catch the train to Rome. And then you need the Metro to get to the centre. So the trip will take you about 45min may be an hour. BUT when coming back late at night it will ( not may ) take you up to 2 hours as there is no bus from the station to the Hotel ( or its one in an hour ).

My advice is if you sightseeing in Rome do not book that Hotel. Is too far from town and when you are tired that's killing you.

Aaaa if you find the hotel ask for a reward from the reception :)

We stayed at the Prime Hotel Roma Cassia in October and with a little planning this is an excellent, very reasonably priced hotel. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the room was good sized with a king size bed.
A couple of points which may be helpful regarding transport to and from hotel (as it is a little way out of the city centre are listed below).
We bought a Roma pass for our visit (these can be purchased from major attractions (eg. Colloseum) and cost 20 euros). These offer excellent value for money as comprise of a travel pass which can be used on trains, metro and buses for unlimited journeys for 3 days; plus free entry into 2 attractions (including the colloseum) and reduced price entry into many more.
The easiest way of travelling to/from the hotel from the city centre we found was the metro/train option taking the metro (Line A) from the termini to Valle Aurelia (approx 8 stops) and then the FR3 (Viterbo) line to La Guistinia station (approx 8 stops). From there the 201 or the 223 bus (the bus leaves from the main road on the same side as the train station not from the station car park) will take you to the bus stop near the lane to the hotel (the bus journey takes approximately 5-10 mins). We found people on the bus more than helpful when we asked which stop we should alight at for the hotel. Trains and buses both ran frequently. It should also be remembered the hotel runs a free shuttle bus service to and from La Guistinia train station which is pre-bookable and cuts out the bus journey, but does only operate during certain hours.
We did on one occasion use the bus only (the 217 to Paizello bus stop and then change onto 201 to Cassia Via Barbarano) but the train option was much easier as bus stops are not clearly marked.
I would definitely recommend the hotel to those able to make use of public transport etc and wanting to see the eternal city on a tight budget. It is a very nice hotel, if a little far out for some, but the very reasonable price of the hotel reflects that. It may possibly be to far out for older travellers or those unwilling to use public transport as taxis etc can be pricey (as some of our fellow hotel guests had found to their cost).
I hope this information is useful and enjoy your visit to Rome, we certainly did and can't wait to return.
