Staff were rude and generally unhelpful. Hotel was too far from city 45min to 1h20min depending on traffic. Got a weekly bus pass from newsagents. Fantastic restaurant across from bus stop called El Patio ate there every night food was great and quite cheap.

First of all, MANY THANKS to people that write to Trip Advisor, as thaks to their advertising ( about how to manage to get the hotel), my holidays in Rome wasnt' totally ruined: I booked hotel Jonico throught a web page of a very well know agency (fly+hotel) and in the Hotel Jonico web page all seems to be very fine.

BUT the fact is that hotel Jonico is MAINLY FOR TRACK DRIVERS, or for any one that HAVE A CAR......but not for turist arriving in train or fly, to visit Rome.

It is not only the fact that it takes more than 1hour to go from the hotel to Rome by bus (a taxi can cost more than 50€ ) but that the hotel actually is localled in a very dirty and dangerous area, and the bus IS ALWAYS VERY BUSY....which means to do all the trip stand by. ...and not throught nice views at all.....

But I can say, on the contrary, if anyone wants to visit the outside landscape of Roma (Roca del Papa, p.e, which are beatiful, magnific...!) , that hotel IS VERY SUITABLE: It's fine, comfortable, and have all in the perfect way one may expect...you can park your car in the parking of the hotel.

On summary: forget about that hotel if not have a car, but very suitable, if have one, and the idea of visiting the landscape out of Roma....

This hotel offers good value for money if you are on a budget.The only bad thing is the location: 30mins to 1 hour to central Rome.But I live in London and am used to traveling 45mins to work every day by public transport.Just try to avoid it during peak hours.
Otherwise it is not far from Ciampino airport-15mins by taxi=20euro.

I had read many reviews before going and feared the worst. However, my wife and I were more than pleased to discover it was all nonsence. The hotel is excellent, en-suite rooms are wonderful. For the price you pay you really are getting an excellent 3 star hotel. The staff were very nice and very helpful. The continental breakfast was toast (continental style), cappucino/tea and any number of fresh pastries you cared to consume - fab! This really suited me because while on holiday, like many, I love to indulge. All rooms were very clean with excellent fitted furniture, satellite TV and a well stocked mini-bar. The hotel staff cannot speak any English - please bear this in mind because you are in Italy's capital and it is their native language! Learn a little Italian before you go - it is a must. I did and was able to converse a little with the staff and out and about. The hotel is a little way out of Rome (about 9 K) but providing you sort out the busses you are fine. From Ciampino airport the No 64 Coteral bus will take you to Anagnina station - change here for a No 20 Atac bus that will take you to Via Silicella along the Casalina road - BUT make sure you ask for the stop or it will go past. The bus drivers are very helpful and even gave us directions to the hotel. To conclude - this hotel is a must if you don't mind travelling in to Rome each day. Brilliant hotel, food, etc....fantastic time. Highly recommended. David.
