I booked the hotel from last minute.com on the secret hotel page, it sounded too good to be true..and it was. Once we got to Termini station we were told (after an hour of trying to find help) the hotel is miles out, cost 25 euros+ every time u want to come into rome, so we got to hotel, staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful. hotel restaurant was closed, it was a half hour walk to nearest restaurant (mcpatches) which was terrible, and there was no room service available. The next mornin we realised just how far out we were, u have to get a bus (the 508) from outside a building which looks like a jail, then once u reach ponte mammalo u get the tube to termini, this takes about an hour in total. on a night time u have to be back at ponte mammalo for 11 otherwise u have to get another taxi! and they charge from wherver they r, so cud be 15 euros b4 they have even reached the hotel, much to my disgust. room (once we got upgraded to a suite was lovely) as our sink broke, this was after a day of complaining tho...did i forget to mention that there are a few undesirables loitering around the road to the hotel (prostitutes). if u are a 1st time couple going to rome then don't book this hotel, its just ruins the holiday. stay as near to via nacionale/via repubblica/via condotti as possible. The staff really do disregard u aswell and make no effort to point u in the right direction at all.
rubbish. probably good if ur there for business, but we were there for sightseein and for a romantic break - and just ended up in a bad mood most of the time. guttted.
