I have no idea how this hotels got a 4 stars rating. Not only that the rooms are old and in need of restoration but they are very poorly designed (the bathroom especially, if you are using the toilet you will have your feet under the sink and the shower cabin is sooo small that you will always touch the cold walls with your back - honestly speaking someone larger wouldn't even fit in that shower cabin). The walls are so thin that you can practically hear EVERYTHING what other people were talking / doing.
The door closing mechanisms (pretty unique nowadays) are really hard to use.
There were no carpets on the floor (but at least they provided slippers).
No tea / coffee making options (it was listed that in the Executive rooms you have that option!!??).
We only got plastic glasses in the day we checked in. They were picked up with the cleaning in the next day and they were NEVER replaced and there were no other glasses available in the room.
The breakfast is ok for 1-2 days but since you get the SAME food everyday (1 type of cheese, 1 type of ham, 1 type of salami = SAME type everyday) it gets very annoying. As a curiosity, even if you get some fruits for breakfast there are no vegetables at all (no mustard also even if you get hotdogs and fried bacon),
The hotel is pretty far (20 mins metro + 10 mins bus waiting + 10 mins bus ride) from center of Rome and pretty hard to find. So unless you plan to leave the hotel in the morning and come back at night it's a bad choice in this aspect too.
The staff was helpful and friendly, though,
Overall, a bad choice in all aspects. Maybe if you don't find anything else and you need a cheap room for a night it could work, but bring earplugs with you.

My sisters and I stayed on two occasions at the Pineta Palace, the first was part of a Cosmos Tour we were expecting 4 star and we were really disappointed as the hotel was in a suburb of Rome not walking distance it was serviced by bus and taxis anyway we were in the basic rooms and we were terribly disappointed. The rooms were old and we could hear pretty well everything that was going on in other rooms. The breakfast was good though. Anyway on our arrival back after our tour we still had 2 more nights there. Not wanting to stay in the same type of room we asked if we could upgrade into a superior room. We were introduced to "seventh heaven" there were one bedroom suites with Kingsize beds and a queen sized sofa, so we took 2 rooms we were 4 women travelling. The rooms were fANTASTIC and the bathrooms excellent. The upgrade was Euros60 per day per room so not too expensive.
Having the better rooms the hotel staff became very obliging and couldn't do enough for us.
The apparently are updating the hotel as time and money allows, but fore me 7th heaven was the way to go, we also had amazing views of Rome..

Stayed here pre-Cosmos bus tour. We booked on-line well in advance and got a great rate!
We weren't expecting too much after reading the reviews on trip advisor, so we were pleasantly surprised with our accommodations! Our rooms were older, but clean. We all had balconies, but had to be careful not to shut the patio doors, as once the patio door closes behind you, you can't get back inside your room!! The doors only open from the inside. The included breakfast was great! Reception was friendly and very helpful.
We arrived at the hotel late in the evening and were pleasantly surprised to find the lobby restaurant still open and willing to make all 6 of us pizzas! Very accommodating!
We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Good hotel, but needs restauration.
The hotel is in a residencial neighbourhood, in a quiet place. Is far the metro statios. To get the metro first you have to get the bus.
You have pay tu use internet wi fi.
I don't recomend for tourists.
