We checked in here for 5 nights following a cancelled booking with our tour operator. We wanted a hotel near Rome that doesn't charge extra for use of the pool etc, that wasn't too pricey and it filled our needs well. The reception staff were very friendly and the housekeepers did a fantastic job, giving fresh towels everyday and discretely cleaning whilst we were at breakfast. The quad room we were in was quiet and very clean. The beds were topped with very good, new mattresses which were very comfortable. The only problem was one of the air conditioning units wasn't brilliant, so it did get a bit warm. Breakfast was ok, but not great choice for gluten free (we did ask before booking), only cornflakes or sweet biscuits, so a bit boring after a couple of days. The pool was clean and always had a lounger free. There was a lifeguard who was vigilant when his services were needed by another guests small child who went too far in the pool. There were a number of football squads staying whilst we were there, but they were all off training most of the time so we only really saw them at breakfast. There is so much to se and do in the surrounding areas, but a car was crucial for us as we wanted to head out into areas as well as Rome itself and explore the beautiful sites in offer. We didn't eat in the onsite restaurant, although it smelt nice, instead we opted to eat in restaurants all within a few minutes drive and found lots of choice. Car parking was free and we never had a problem finding a space. Wifi was good and also free. Other hotels we looked at in similar areas charged for the use of the pool, car park and wifi, so all in all this made our stay here an even better bargain. The lovely reception staff allowed us to keep hold of the room until later on in the day as we had an evening flight, and this really helped us. There is an onsite gymnasium which looked well equipped. I'm not sure how much there would be to entertain young children except the pool. There aren't many bars and restaurants within walking distance, but plenty if you are driving. The receptionist advised us to drive down to a nearby metro station, leave the car and use the public transport for our outing into Rome (I had no ambition to drive in Rome anyway, as I value my life!), and was happy to direct us. We would definitely consider...
Read moreStayed here on business. The room was large and clean with a bit of character. Italian TV stations plus Sky TV and good internet access. The grounds of the hotel are nice and well maintained with a fountain and swimming pool. The soccer fields are off limits to guests and I didn't try the gym. There were no soccer teams staying here during my stay, which was probably a good thing and the hotel was very quiet. The major drawback is that although the hotel is nice it is in a run down area with a lot of graffiti and nowhere to go for a walk or have a cup of coffee. The breakfast at the hotel was just adequate; not much selection and no hot options. Some cereals, some meats, cheese, and bread plus coffee. The staff were generally helpful and spoke enough English, except for whoever happened to be on the front desk where ignoring you seemed to be the standard practice. It's theoretically possible to get into the centre of Rome from here by public transportation, but it would be a trek and taxis would more than wipe out any savings over staying somewhere closer to the...
Read moreThis hotel is set on a very large property & has great offers in the form of pool, gym & even a soccer field, however it lacks in other areas.||Staff aren't very helpful (it's like you are interrupting them),breakfast is extremely ordinary, I ended up just having coffee as stale bread even when toasted isn't my cup of tea, rooms need a MAJOR makeover but otherwise clean and comfortable and the elevator works intermittently. One massive bonus is the restaurant for lunch or dinner. Food there was fantastic and cheap in comparison to what I had been paying in town. However, I probably wont be back to stay again,...
