This hotel would like to be a 4* but simply isn't.

We were booked in for 3 nights but ended up leaving after just 1. We started in room 104 which at best was 2* star quality. It was a reasonable size but was not in good condition. This included blue ink stains spattered up one wall and two cooking rings in one of the cupboards (!!) in addition to wires hanging down from the top. Furthermore the walls were thin - I could hear the guy in the next room shaving in the morning - and our room was at the back looking straight onto the road. Apart from a lumpy bed it was the traffic zooming past all night that kept me awake.

The main reason we left though is that my wife is sensitive to dust and within minutes of walking into the room she had a streaming nose and a tight chest. I asked to move rooms but the hotel was full the first night - the staff advised me to check again the next day.

On doing this they showed us a room around the corner at the front of the hotel which was nicer. The room had wood laminate rather than carpet - which cut down on the dust and was in better decorative condition at least - probably closer to 3* in quality. It also had a view across the green fields in front of the hotel. By this stage however they had started repainting the main lobby which added paint fumes to the mix. So having weighed it all up and given that we were in Rome for a holiday we decided to cut our losses and move location.

Obviously this hotel has some nicer rooms and some not very good rooms and unless you can get one of the better ones you will probably not want to stay here.

Location wise the hotel is a few km's south of the historic centre. It is a 10 minute walk to the Furio Camillo metro station which is a few stops from the central Termini station and takes about 5 minutes. There is also a bus service (the 628) which runs right past the hotel and heads on towards Piazza Navona. There is a small supermarket less than 5 mins from the hotel on route to Furio Camillo which is handy for stocking up on food/drink. Further up Via Cesare Baronio towards Furio Camillo there is also an internet cafe - useful if you decide you want to switch hotel and need to find an alternative!!

Can't comment on breakfast as our lack of sleep caused us to miss it.

bit disapointing - rooms was clean but in need of redecoration (i.e. slightly mouldy shower) but otherwise a decent cheap hotel and the staff were very friendly

whilst its a good value cheap hotel - felt like it had been oversold a bit - buy stating its four star when its definatley not and the breakfast was poor in selection.

on a good note there are some great restuarants locally - for great food and atmosphere at over half the price of what you'd pay int he centre - if you stay her ego to the Restaurante Sud Americano (hotel will direct you!)

and make sure you have a map - whilst only 15 mins walk to metro - v easy to get lost!!

We stayed here at the end of a tour and I was quite impressed. The location was a little dodgy but it wasn't too far out of town and the rooms were excellent. Quite large, and the bathroom was also large and clean. Others had smaller rooms and weren't so impressed but I have to say mine was really good!

We are a heterosexual couple in our mid 50's who recently stayed at the Roma Park Hotel. We always book inexpensive 2 and 3 star hotels when traveling. We would rate this hotel a nice 3 star. Our very clean room was good size with 2 twin beds, TV, and a desk/chair. A kitchenette including sink, 2 burner stove (no cooking utensils), and minibar frig(room enough to put your own drinks into) was built into a cabinet. There was also a wardrobe closet. All built ins were hidden by cabinet doors. Our private bath included a bidet and shower (no tub). Bath towels were large and thick. We saw men repairing the air conditioning system which was not working our entire 7 day stay. Bedroom windows opened but you could latch the shutters over the open windows for privacy and safety. The elevator was small but adequate for two people and luggage. Breakfast buffets included ham, cheese, hardboiled eggs along with the usual juices, cereals, fruits. and rolls. Its dining area was clean, pleasant, and spacious. We were charged 12 cents per local telephone call, however if you wanted to order pizza delivery the desk clerk will do so for you and not charge you for the call (go down to the desk with your request). There is a grocery store a couple blocks from the hotel where you can also buy beer and wine. Yes, the location isn't the greatest but very managable and safe. Two different bus lines can be caught around the corner from the hotel (bus stop called Macedoni), avoiding a 20 minute uphill walk to the nearest Metro (subway) stop which is Furio Camillo. Rather, take bus #665 towards the San Giovanni bus stop. Get off there and walk half way around the church to find the Metro stop also called San Giovanni (Line A) and proceed on the subway to your destination. Bus line #628, also caught on the Macedonia bus stop around the corner of the hotel, will take you directly into the city center where you can easily walk to its attractions. Try to avoid riding the bus or Metro when the locals are taveling to/from work, it is extemely crowded. A transpotation ticket can be purchased at the tobacco shop near the hotel or in many other locations. One costs .75 euros, about a $1, and can be used on both the bus and Metro (subway) lines for as many times as you want during a 75 minute time period once it is validated. We bought a weekly pass which was good for 7 consecutive days and cost about $15. One early evening we rode the entire route 628 for a pleasant and inexpensive outing (took about 2 hours). It took us along the Tiber, past many city center attractions and ruins, and through several different neighborhoods. There is a shuttle service which the desk clerk can arrange for you to the airport. The cost was 48 euros for up to 4 people. We really got a good pricing deal for staying 7 nights at the Roma Park and found it quite pleasant and more than adequate.
