The hotel is a good option if you're looking for a quiet and convenient place to stay for a night or two while in Rome. Located approximately halfway between the airport and the city center, it offers a shuttle bus service to both locations. The warm greetings and superior service offered by the front desk staff made for a very pleasant stay. They went above and beyond both at check in and check out. And the food served in the restaurant greatly exceeded my expectations.

“Pleasant stay”

We had a very pleasant stay. Staff very helpful and professional. Location is fine if you use the train. 40 min to Colosseum.

“Huge depends on public transportation//tips for your visit”

It’s a nice hotel, almost an airport hotel, about 15 minutes by car. The hotel has a shuttle that’ll pick you up at the airport (free, and runs at certain scheduled times, so, not 24/7) the shuttle Will also take you back for €10 a person (kids are free, also at certain times, not 24/7).

It’s a nice hotel, almost an airport hotel, about 15 minutes by car. The hotel has a shuttle that’ll pick you up at the airport (free, and runs at certain scheduled times, so, not 24/7) the shuttle Will also take you back for €10 a person (kids are free, also at certain times, not 24/7). Nice clean rooms, decent breakfast (although. If you are used to traditional American Eggs/bacon breakfast, you won’t find much to eat, bacon tasted like rubber, to be honest, and the eggs were never cooked properly, either undercooked or overcooked-scrambled eggs); but a great selection of deli meats, cheeses, breads, croissants, fresh whole fruits. Pistachio croissants are amazing. Very very small coffee cups at the coffee machine in the restaurant. We started bringing coffee mugs from the hotel room to breakfast, they were a bit bigger. Courteous staff at the front desk. Helpful. Dinner staff at the restaurant is great, especially Luigi. Great guy, professional, very knowledgeable. With all that being said: your entire stay in this hotel, and ultimately, your experience about Rome will solely depend on public transportation. The hotel is entirely outside of the city, in a business area with conferences centers/buildings around. There is not a single restaurant or a grocery store around, nothing. There is a small train station (Muratella) next to the hotel, about a 5-minute walk (you MUST buy tickets at the front office, there is no ticket machine at the station). Anyway, a train from Muratella to a subway is about 20 minutes and then 2 stops by subway (5 min) and you are right outside of Coloseum, walking to everywhere you need to go. Pantheon, Vatican etc. so, maybe 35 minutes from the hotel to everything Rome has to offer. Not too bad and doable with older kids. BUT!!!! With that being said, if there is a public transportation strike in the city, you are done. It happened to us. There was a road/construction work on that only train line connecting the hotel to the city for all 4 days we were in Rome. Then one day a public demonstration at the train station (Ostiense) in Rome from where you would head back to the hotel, blocking buses’ access to the station…35 minutes one way turned into 2 hours one way, or 4 hours round trip…yes, you can take a taxi, of course, which would run a nice bill. So, with all that, that is the only down point for the hotel, its sole dependence on the public transportation. The hotel does offer a shuttle that can take you to the subway station (instead of the train). Also runs at certain times (I think the earliest is 10am) and it costs €10 Per person (kids are free). Again, there are options if the public transpiration is down, but they’ll either take your time or $$€€. Also, there was only one USB port in our room (that was broken) and only one power outlet which was used by the tea kettle. If we needed charge our phone, we had to unplug the kettle and plug in our stuff. So, bring an charging wall block with multiple USB ports so you can charge 2 phones at once and tablet and etc

Great hotel and location. If you like to head into the city, and relax in the evening, this is a great place. Also, if you are looking for a great start to your day, the breakfast buffet is amazing! Lorena at the front desk was great and easy to talk to. I felt confident, that if there was anything I needed, I had a specialists avalable. I had an issue with my train ticket, called the hotel and Lorena walked me through to the solution. I was glad that I not only found a good place to stay, eat but had a partner to in my trip for a good experience.
