Good location, near the metro and near great pizza

The room was reasonablly priced and was in a good location. (There was a hair dryer in the room) The motel is within a 5-10 min walk to the metro station. There is an excellent pizzeria about a 5 min walk away. The motel is not a drop off stop for the daily tour groups with "Grey Line Bus Tours" and you will be required to take the bus, metro or taxi back to the motel. It costs 1 Euro for 75 min, per person, or 4 Euros for all day, (much cheaper than a taxi and quicker). The free breakfast in the morning is really good, and it starts at 6:30 which was nice so we could start our day early. It consisted of different juices, milk and coffee. There were eggs and bacon, and other morning pastries such as crossaints. There is a fee everytime you use your phone in the room, (even with an international calling card). There is one computer in the lobby that you can use for internet, it cost $4 Euros per hour. The room service was great, when we needed more towels they came to our room within three min. Booking this room with our flight through travel agency saved us a lot of money and hassel. We would definitly stay at this motel/location again. If we were to have stayed closer to some of the attractions, the cost of the room would have been much higher.
Vacation to Rome

When we first checked in the women at the front desk who checked us in was very rude, but as always you cant let a few bad apples spoil your trip. The rest of the staff was very nice and very helpful. They accommodated all our needs and even let us check out a few hours late due to a late flight. The only downside to this place is it's a few miles from the downtown area 2-3 at most but it makes a big difference when your riding in a cab. The cab drivers try to make an extra buck off of you by taking you the long route. Another downside was our room location. We had a room above the dining facility and it made for a rude awakening every morning when the hotel was serving breakfast. Its an easy fix if you can change room locations. Overall I was very pleased and would stay again!

the hotel is not anywhere near the center of Rome u need to use bus and metro- taxis 2 high. the hotel had problems with the card keys- had to go downstairs often for new keys front desk people were fine,rooms were clean and bkfast buffet was good ( fruit was canned,not fresh) Great cappucino included though! E* was a bit high but most hotels in Rome were much more a town car was arranged for airport depart for *E much better than haggling with taxi drivers!

Clean, comfortable, quiet, safe hotel located within few minutes walking distance to all major transportation in and around Rome. Huge breakfast buffet with large assortment of American and Italian breakfast foods, and coffees made to order. Great rates. Highly recommend this hotel.

Rooms, breakfast and staff are excelent in this hotel, but we found its location the best, specially if this is your first time in Rome. Bus stop is right at the corner, Subway station, 4 blocks away. Even the train station to and from the airport is located 2 blocks down the street. Also the Pizzarito Pastarito restaurant with good prices and food is located around the corner. We recomend this hotel and would stay there again while in Rome.
