Where to start...
The room: at £200/night for a "suite", you would expect a minimum of comfort. For example, you would expect NOT to be able to hear every word of a phone call made next door by somebody obviously trying to keep his voice down. You would expect the mattress NOT to feel like it needed to be changed a few years ago. You would expect towels that still have thread to them, a shower that does not consist of a showerhead in a bath with a flimsy screen. Above all, you would NOT expect to smell whatever other clients do in their toilet, and I mean: whatever....

The pool. For a start, it is not cleaned daily. There is a grand total of two umbrellas available for about 30 loungers. There is no towels provided, you are requested to use your room's towels, and have to pay a €5 surcharge to get them changed afterwards. It is cold and usually noisy from sound checks for the daily evening private party (this hotel caters mostly for parties and conferences).

The food. Unbelievable but true, it is worse than the rest. The €22 buffet option offers a bad selection of salad, one awful hot dish with as little meat as they can get away with, and some days no dessert (or they keep it in the kitchen, you have to ask for it, the waiter then has to ask his manager for permission to bring you what you have paid for). Coffee is as bad which is a rare occurence in Italy. I was not brave enough to try the wine....

The service. With a couple of exceptions in the restaurant, the rest of the staff clearly hate their job and make sure you do know about it.

The location. Yes, as per the other reviews, awful. Not only far from everything, but in an area that is void of bars, restaurants, shops, and which does not look safe enough to wander at night.

All in all, avoid at all costs!!!!!

we stayed at this hotel sept 08. Our party got to the hotel at aprox 11 30am there was one person on the desk who was booking everyone in,after every one was booked in they told us we could only get into our rooms after 2pm. By the time every one got their keys it was too late to do anything. The hotel is a bus ride and a tube out of town or a 30euro taxi ride. It is a20 minuet walk to the bus stop. the Hotel is up a very steep and long drive off the main road. There is a shop across a bride over a main road about 30 minuet walk from hotel The bridge is full of graffiti and muck. The hotel is very scruffy bedrooms clean but basic. The staff are very unhelpful. The breakfast was disgusting.If this hotel is 4 star I would hate a 2 star. I would not even give it 1 star. The area the Hotel is in is scruffy and ruff and up a lane with broken down cars. We made sure we were back before dark. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone is definitely not suitable for disabled people. We looked forward to our stay in Rome the hotel certainly spoilt it we could not wait to leave

Forget staying at this hotel. I originally chose it because when I was first planning our trip to Italy, the site I was on showed a shuttle that picked you up at the metro station, and then a shuttle showing to the airport. I wanted to stay close to the airport the night before leaving so I didn't have to worry about getting their on time. While, apparently, the site I was on showing a shuttle from the hotel to the Metro was not their's and doesn't happen unless you contact them prior (no mention of that in the ad I saw, the ad I saw gave a time table). We ended up taking a taxi which cost 20 Euro. The free shuttle to the airport is a joke, our plane left at 12:30 pm so we had to be at the airport at 9:30 am, the shuttle to the airport goes from the hotel at 07:20, 16:45 and ?, which meant we had to catch the 07:20 or get a cab. Breakfast was at 07:00 so needless to say, it was a quick grab something, gulp down your tea/coffee and go. The reception was defensive, the hotel, was old, needing a paint job (dirty walls), but the room itself was clean and comfy. the pizza by the pool was really good. I difinitely will not be reconmending this hotel to anyone.

Room was adequate - decoration dated, needed a paint job and some minor repairs, but it was clean. No safe. Pool was nice - they could do with more lounge chairs. Breakfast was OK, except for scrambled eggs - bright yellow and runny. More fruit would have been nice.
Did not eat at hotel restaurant - too expensive. We went to the nearby supermarket - down the hill, turn right, across the bridge - 5-10 mins. We bought cooked chicken and a salad and had a picnic by the pool.
If you are reasonably fit (we are in our 60's), the walk down the hill from the hotel is easy. You can turn right at the bottom to the bus stop and catch the bus to Cornelia station, but it is a lot quicker to turn left and walk under the subway to Aurelia station. Trains run every hour (10 mins to the hour when we were there). every 2 hours on Sundays and holidays. Pay on the train. We did not take the hotel shuttle into Rome.
There is a shuttle bus to Fiumicino airport. We paid 35 Euros for a taxi to Ciampino airport. DO NOT let reception order a taxi for you - they will charge you 25% more (at least). If you just go outside the hotel, taxis arrive all the time. Wait for one and ask him to pick you up at the time you need - he will come back.
This is not a 4 star hotel, but we found it OK for our needs.
By the way, airfares back to North America from Rome are expensive. You can go to England on Easyjet or Ryanair for about $50. Spend a few days (or longer!) there and then get a cheap charter back home. That's what we did.
