This hotel is a safe bet. but there are no restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, leaving you with either the hotel restaurant or the mcdonalds next door. as we didnt come with any type of tour could take the helpful shuttle bus to the centre but as the last time the bus returns to the hotel is 7.50, not good if you want to eat out. as we'd never been to rome before this hotel was ok but staying in the centre would be more worth your while, this hotel is close to nothing. the staff are polite, the swimming pool is good, the shuttle service is helpful but stay closer to the centre.
On arrival in Rome, we got a taxi to the hotel. The journey seemed long. This was not helped by traffic congestion. The hotel is located in a very remote area, not within walking distance to tourist attractions. It was quite a distance from the city centre and the Vatican. Staff were not overly friendly or in a hurry to help. I made several requests of the front desk and had wait a considerable amount of time. Breakfast was very good, but cutlery was nowhere to be seen. Very disorganised! Rooms are OK size for two people, and comfortably appointed, but our rooms had no air conditioning. This was very disappointing as we stayed during the warm month of September. Next time I will consider something closer to the city centre.

It is indeed a recommendable hotel; large (yet personal), clean, well-maintained and yes ideal if you are on short visit to Rome, or Roma as they say. If you are coming with a car, it is easy to reach this hotel as it is close to Aurelia entry/exit. But remember, that to reach the hotel you have to take a short detour as it falls on your left but due to the road-divider you have to take a shot exit in the opposite direction and take a u tun on an overbridge. There is enough parking for the coaches. The hotel also offers coach service to the city, adding comfort to your sight-seeing visit. To find a seat on this coach, you may better collect a token from the reception beforehand.

Hotel is cheap and the concierge was friendly and helpful! Ok, now that we're done with the hotel's plus points.let's move on to its downside. No matter what anyone tells you, this hotel is NOT within walking distance of the subway station, nor is it close to Roma Termini train station. The hotel is also a long distance away from the Colosseum, Vatican, Piazza Navona, Trevi Foutain, Pantheon and every other tourist destination you can think of. The hotel does offer a "tram" service to and from the center of town to make it more convenient to get to tourist sites, however, the tram only has certain timings and may not always be convenient. The hotel room itself was also a bit small.

We are two professional women who took a 5 day break at this hotel. We would never use it again for either business or pleasure. It is possibly the worst hotel at which we have ever stayed. With a few rare exceptions, the staff from the pool attendant to the duty managers were surly, unhelpful, incompetent and sometimes obstructive. The staff have lost the plot. They find the guests an inconvenience and sometimes a nuisance! We made the best of it and managed to have a good time, despite the best efforts of the staff to prevent us doing so. The rooms are very small and gloomy. The garden area is small and scrubby, not pleasant. Never again. Do not go to this hotel.

We stayed in this hotel for 5 days. The room with a king size bed was small but clean, neat with nice modern plumbing. Hotel is located far from the Rome sites but has a very nice free shuttle service. The bus stops at Vatican and in the center of Rome.Did not go to the airport. Make sure to reserve seats in that shuttle bus, because public trasportation is inconvenient. Taxi from the airport costs 40 euros. Breakfast was good and staff is helpful. We reseve this hotel on Hotwire and got a very good deal. Cannot complain.

Clean, reasonable place to stay. It is way outside Rome and is a 20E cab ride away from Rome and a 45E ride from the airport or train station. However, the hotel maintains a shuttle to town or the airport. The town shuttle is doable. But your timing has to be right for the airport shuttle. Ours was not. Food is very expensive there. However, just at the bottom of the hill is a McDonalds and a grocery store. You can easily use both to save money. Rooms are small but so are many in Europe.

The hotel was very easy to find, which was very welcome in the Rome traffic and the car park was excellent and cheap. The room was quite small but we had a lovely view The restaurant was very good with friendly staff. The free shuttle bus into the centre of Rome was very good, but we had to stay out all day as it would have been very difficult to get back to the hotel any other way.

This hotel is to a normal holiday inn standard so provides a good quality of accomodation. The hotel has a good breakfast but is about a half an hour train trip to central rome. If you have plenty of time and dont mind the commute then this is a great value hotel and modern compared to the other style hotels in the city.
