Admitedly we booked this hotel in some haste after reading great reviews for hotel of same name nearer the attractions so please check location carefully!!

However once aware of our error wasn't to concerned after seeing distance stated as 15 mins and good transport links. On arrival all seemed well, welcoming freindly staff and this was the case throughout, however when we attempted the journey to Rome's centre our mistake began to dawn on us, half an hour bus journey to a stop in the middle of nowwhere (certainly nowhere you'd feel happy hanging about for to long) followed by various waiting times from 5 - 35 mins for connecting bus, then another 10-20 mins pending traffic until in Rome's centre.

The alternative was a bus to a metro station which seemed a bit bettter as metros very frequent (door to centre approx 45 mins) however there was engineering works and so metro heavily disrupted and scuppered this plan on a couple of journeys. The best option would be taxi's however obviously not very cost effective, this is where it got really interesting, 'a full blown armed police presence' taxi strike was in progress for the duration of our 4 day trip (not the hotels fault but i'm pretty sure it wasnt a spur of the moment strike that couldn't have been made known to guests prior to arrival!)

One evening after tube disruption's & lack of buses compared to passengers, stranded we had to take an illegal cab for a hefty fee, whilst i appreciate the taxi strike was bad luck this hotels 'Rome' location was appalling. Fortunately the restaurant provided nice simplistic meals as this was where we had to spend most evenings.
Hotels shuttle bus is mainly for decor on drive it would appear and no chance of help during these desperate transport failings.
Nice hotel if you plan to hire transport avoid if not.

The owner's of the hotel were very nice and helpful, but this hotel is quite a bit outside of Rome and only on a few bus lines...it didn't appear that taxi service was readily available.
There also did not seem to be any restaurants nearby (at least within close walking distance) but we arrived when it was dark and since it was raining, we had a choice of trying to walk somewhere in the pouring rain or be a bit hungry...we opted for hungry.
Luckily, we were staying there for one night before heading to the airport so the minor inconveniences were not big issues. I am not sure how pleased we would have been if we were planning on staying there longer.
If you book here and decide to take a bus as described on the website, be prepared since it is a long bus ride and if you miss the stop for the hotel, the next stop is at the bottom of a hill and a bit of a walk (crossing a busy street) back to the hotel especially if you have luggage.
As I stated, the owner's are very welcoming, but that might not be enough to overcome some of the problems with staying at such a remote location if you think you are closer to Rome than you actually are.
