We stayed at Scheppers Hotel for one night, since we arrived at Fiumicino Rome airport quite late. It's a nice, simple hotel, wirh clean rooms, tough quite unpersonal. The staff was proffesional and spoke english well.

We had a rental car, since we where to drive to Tuscany the next morning. The hotel was somewhat hard to find. So i would get directions and a map from the rentalcar staff at the airport. (But it's quite close to the airport)

The hotel was actually perfect for a stayover if you're just travelling trough Rome. I would not recomend this hotel if you don't have your own car, or is in Rome for a vacation.

The hotel have its own parkinglot, just on the side of the reception. It's not a closed parking, so I would recomend bringing all your luggage inside for the night.

It was my second time in Rome and my girlfriends 1st.So when we arrived at Aurelia train station we had to walk 1km,then over an overhead bridge then up a steep hill and with all our luggage.We couldn't find the street,let alone the hotel.It was 30 odd degrees as well.45 minutes later we found itand checked in.We went upstairs and went in to the room,if youswang a cat it would definately need a helmet.It was the smallest room i have ever seen.Clean though,(you couldn't put anything in there thats why.)The next day we went downstairs for breakfast.How dissapointing,Buffet breakfast it wasn't.Rubbish is all i can say.The hotel is so far away from anything as well.On a good note,the staff where friendly,the beer was cold and the airconditioning was fantastic.We will be staying closer to the centre next time.

Well, a nice little hotel but as for getting there, absolutely not easy. this hotel is a metro ride and then a bus ride and up the steep hill. if you are thinking of booking this hotel you need to look at travel around as you will need to know where to catch the metro and the buses as the metro closes at 9pm, also look out for the taxis as they seem a little on the expensive side.

now for the good bits, the hotel is small and the staff very freindly, asking them for directions is okay and they do have a small minbus (6 seater) that will drop you off at the nearest metro station (cornelia) three times a day (am) and it is on a first come first served basis.

overall though the sights of rome more than made up for this part of the holiday, i would next time though book a hotel more central so i could be lazy and walk around

thanks

We were in Rome at the end of April, what a wonderful country. It has been 30 years since my last trip but the first time for my partner. He was astonished at the architecture. Weather is best if you don't like to much heat (like me).

We reccommend that if you have had enough of the city for a day and would like a break go to Ostia Antica, you can still use the cheap rail tickets it is only 20 minutes from central Rome. This is the ancient sea port of Rome. Beautiful mosaics and architecture, however we reccommend you take your own lunch, food is nice but pricey.

Our only disappointment was the hotel. Scheppers in Aurelia, promised so much but delivered little. The room was twin when requested double, this was changed. According to the advert there should have been a safe, cafe, sprawling terrace with bar, views, ample breakfast buffet. None of these were apparent. It is a shame they feel the need to over estimate the attractions. It is also further from the Vatican i.e min 4km. They do however provide a shuttle bus to a metro hourly.
