on September 14, 2006We were very happy staying at this hotel. It's not very close to any sights, but it's right by the Metro and in 20 minutes you can be at The Vatican. And it's actually nice to be in a suburb rather than in the hubub - we would get in at night and go out to a restaurant and be surrounded by the locals.
The people at the concierge were really friendly. We didn't try the bar, but there was one on the roof, and a "secret garden" out the back with tables and lanterns where people were enjoying drinks.
The room was modern, recently refurbished. A really good size, with lots of wardrobe space. The bed was fine (the only problem was it was 2 single mattresses pushed together to make a double, however, they were wedged together quite firmly, and we didn't notice this after a while). There was also a small balcony - but no view!
In the bathroom there was a bath, good shower with excellent pressure and temperature. Toilet, bidet, and a hairdryer.
Breakfast buffett was included - quite a reasonable spread of breads, ham, cheese, scrambled egg, cereals, lots of delicious pastries, jams, yoghurt, fruit. Coffee tea, water, juice, frozen coffee and yoghurt smoothie. It was the same every morning. The staff in the breakfast were great - constantly clearing up and keeping things replenished.
Apparently there is a restaurant, but we didn't see one - I think you can have dinner there but you might have to pre-book. Rather, I would suggest going to the restaurant just around the corner called Lo Zio Frankies.
There is also a supermarket nearby (interspar), so if you're wnating to be cheap buy all your food from there. You need to keep going down the main road away from the hotel, past the 2 Metro station entrances, and it is directly across the road from the MacDonalds.
You're in a nice quiet suburb, really close to the Metro and buses. There's a fabulous restaurant nearby as well as a supermarket. We would buy a picnic lunch before heading out for the day.
