Stayed for three nights in quadruple room with two teenage children. Room was small but comfortable. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Desk staff spoke excellent English. Good continental breakfast included in the price. The hotel is located about half a mile from Cornelia Metro station which has very regular trains to all of the tourist spots. Cornelia is a dump but don't be put off by it when you first go to the hotel. You will not be disappointed.

I stayed with my partner at Pinewood over the valentines weekend and we both loved it! The staff were friendly & helpful, full of recommendations for restaurants & best places to visit other then the normal tourist hotspots. After our long days out the jacuzzi tub was a well needed treat at the end of the day. Even with our lack of knowledge of Rome the hotel location made travelling around Rome so simple, we never required a taxi once! I will definitely be staying at Pinewood whenever I return to Rome.

We stayed at the Pinewood Hotel for a week during the Christmas holiday period, with 2 children. We had a brilliant stay.

The room was small, which came as a bit of a shock on arrival; but it was absolutely SPOTLESS. We had clean towels and toiletries everyday and the maid kept the place immaculate. The breakfast was great, plenty to eat, and unlike some places I have stayed before, the food kept on coming until everyone had left the breakfast room.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The only small complaint I might make is that they were a little cagey about restaurants in the area and sort of refused to recommend anywhere but the Saledas restaurant - which was a wonderful place to eat, but we like some variety! Don't be afraid to try some of the other restaurants in town, we enjoyed Inca's Grill and Frankie's to name just two.

The location was also a big plus. The metro is a short walk, and we enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of central Rome after a hard day sightseeing.

We all cried when we had to come home!

I booked the hotel after seeing all the positive reviews, and I was not disappointed. The hotel is a great value.

The price (about 100 usd/nite) was good for Rome. The room was small but quite comfortable (avg size for Europe), with a big bathroom (my tub was a Jacuzzi). They had wiFi with middle-of-the-road prices and a computer in the lobby (wasn't working while I was there). There was a nice small bar, and the staff were very helpful (I asked for something everyday). The breakfast was good (good scrambled eggs, pastries) except for the juice machine (watery).

The location wasn't a problem for me via public transportation. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the station, and a 10-15 minute ride to Termini. So, despite the fact that the hotel is on the periphery of Rome, access was not a problem at all. When you get off the Cornelia station, you need to walk south toward the park (or total darkness if you're arriving at night) and the hotel will be on your left. The park was nice, esp. in the morning. The hotel is quiet, despite its approx. to the main road, and away from the crowds.

There are some services near the train station. The pizza place was delicious (green "pizza kebab" sign). The restaurant next to the pizza place also seemed to be good (it was often packed), but I didn't eat there.

As opposed to many hotels in Italy, it was more expensive to book directly than via Expedia / Orbitz, so check those sites out when you book the hotel.

All in all, a very nice hotel, a great value, wonderful staff
