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.

Arrived at 2230 at night and took bus to Via Flaminio as per HRS address - turns out the real address is Via Flaminio Nuovo. Walking from one to the other involved trudging with suitcases for over 45 minutes across a dual carriageway with no footpaths. Thought we were going to die for sure!

On getting there, things did not get any better. The staff ranged from lukewarm to rude and our "bungalow" was a glorified caravan, so small that you could barely move around. No cleaning occurs unless you stay over 7 days. The shower was OK but the hot water temperamental. There is no phone to contact reception incase of problems so you are up for the 30 min return trip each time. The courtesy bus does not run in Winter, so it wasn't particularly courteous for us.

The distances within the complex were considerable and involved walking 10-15 minutes to our bungalow. The trains also stop running after 2230 making forward thinking necessary. It does not stop at Due Ponti unless you request it, and some don't stop at all so check first.

The breakfast was average and thinned out towards 9-10am. Otherwise it was acceptable.

Overall, if you are looking for a campsite and are happy to spend time inside the complex; then this may be the place for you. But if you intend to use it as a base for exploring Rome; look elsewhere!! Believe me, it might seem like a good deal but the annoyance of all the above added up to more than it was worth for us.

In view of previous reviews i have read i was concerned about stopping at flaminio - why i was i don't know. the staff were very friendly and helpful. even though there was a shower in our accommodation, the shower block was unbelievable - tiled from top to bottom, under floor heating, power showers and classical music playing - so relaxing. it is a couple of bus journey's from the centre of rome but you get to experience something different and special. it is one train journey from the Spanish Steps. included in the price was breakfast which was plentiful and set you on your way for the day. if you need transfers from the airports you have to pay but that is minimal.it was a very enjoyable experience and i and my friends would definitely go there again. Just make note that there is a good shopping complex across the road from the camp site with a large supermarket, pharmacy etc. PS the dogs you may have read about previously are not that bad and don't really disturb you.Godere il vostro tempo a Flaminio!

This is a campingsite which we found through the ''Campingcheque system'' . This means that for € 14.00 during low season you can spend the night there.
Simple, but nice bar and shop. Excellent Restaurant. Sanitary facilities we have never seen before, including classical music.
Easy access to Rome through public transport ( every 15 minutes)
Want to see Rome at a reasonable price, go there.
