I arrived at ciampino airport and jumped into a taxi. The cost has been set at a fee of 30 euros, this was displayed in the airport and confirmed by the driver.
The jouney time to the hotel was about 20 mins (make sure you have your seat belt on!)
We arrived at the hotel just after 10 and expected the room not to be ready, the hotel advised us to leave our bags and they would place them in the room once ready.
We left the hotel and walked to the underground station which was appox 5 mins walk away, purchased a three day ticket for 11 euros and then hopped on the train, all very easy.
Two stops to the termini, within 10 mins.
Just keep your bags and wallets safe as we warned once again of pickpockets in the area.
After a wonderfull day in Rome we returned to the hotel.
The room was ready and our bags as promised were taken to our room.
The room was compact but had everything you needed for a short stay, the room was very clean and the water pressure in the shower was excellent.
The room was equipped with a TV and a fridge, with room to place small bottles of water in.
Again for the amount of time spent in the room we found it to be very comfortable.
The breakfast is located on the top of the hotel, the staff on duty will make you fresh coffee to start the day, plenty of pastries and cold meet and cheese.
Overall i would definitely return to this hotel, the only slight negative is the location, fine for us didnt mind the underground and woiuld return by taxi, the most expensive taxi was 15 euros, not bad for two people.
Some guests might find the underground a bit threatening as the trains resemble something out of 70s new york, covered in graffiti, but as i stated we had no problems.
would i rebbook yes definitely, all the staff were helpfull and pleasant.
one last tip booked a vatican trip and had to queue for 2 hours just to get into the vatican! would not reommend this for small children.
