We checked out of this hotel 10 minutes after checking in! After almost 2 hours travelling on public transport (i do not recommend getting the bus, it drove straight past the place, we had to cross a dangerous dual carriageway to get on other side to catch bus back) we left our bags as we couldnt check in and wandered round rome. that is after we caught the train from near the flaminio village. after crossing a life threatening dual carriageway again and walking down it, with no pavement. The train station is AWFUL, lots of rome is covered in grafiti bu this take the biscuit! the train is filfthy and feels extremely scary especially when carrying bags and cameras, i felt we would be robbed at anytime! it was even worse on the way back in the dark. we got back to the flamino village and checked in. the room was basically a plastic box, the toilet was filthy with something awful all down the back of it, the shower door was broken and the shower was covered in black mildew. there was no way i could stay there, especially for my birthday treat! we decided to ring home to the UK to try and find another hotel. we hated it that much we didnt even wait til we had found one we just left, after walking 15minutes back to reception, we checked out. it was that bad we didnt even ask for a refund there as it was dark and we had to do the awful journey on the train again, so we had to claim our money back when we got home. luckily as we arrived in the centre of rome my mother had booked us papa vistarelais a beautiful hotel, but cost us an extra £250 which we didnt have but had no choice. I would recommend paying a bit more and NOT staying at Flaminio village, this spoilt our day. a filthy place and no where near centre of rome like it says.
