GETTING THERE: From the airport via the metro: about 1.5 - 2 hours and will cost you about 12 euros pp. The metro is very easy to navigate and being from NYC, my boyfriend and I had no problem. If you take a cab/shuttle service, it'll take about 20-30 minutes. If you don't mind taking the metro, take it going but take a shuttle service back...it's worth the extra 20 Euros.
COST: This place is great for the traveler on a tight budget.
LOCATION: A bit out there, but the free shuttle service to Prima Porta station is on time and is about a 10-15 minute car ride. From there, the train takes about 20 minutes to Flaminio station which is a few stops from Termini (the main connection hub)...so total time: 25-30 minutes.
ROOMS: Less than great and not very roomy. NOT FOR PICKY TRAVELERS AT ALL. We had the cabin for 2 people. Bed isn't exactly soft, and the shower had some mildew. No toilet paper is provided (you can buy some at their store for 0.50). CNN and MTV were only the only English channels. Very small TV; you'll need a current coverter to charge things and there is a fee for extra towels (we didn't need any extra however). A slight damp smell tends to linger, just keep the windows open. No cleaning/maid service. Internet available for 4 euros per hour (can use the time in sections).
ONSITE RESTAURANT: Stay away from the steak! Their pizza and french fries are pretty good though. Decent prices and friendly staff.
OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: Stay here only if you're on a budget, don't mind taking the 25-30 minute commute into town and will spend most of your time outside and really just need a place to stay.
