I stayed in this hotel from Tuesday noon to Friday noon for a work conference, with everything paid for, so I can't comment on price/value. The participants came from all over Europe, so this hotel was chosen because it's relatively close to the airport. It's however an ordeal to get into the historic city of Rome. First you have to get a bus to reach a metro station, then it's a switch to the subway. They are not really coordinated, so there could be a 15-20 minute wait between metro/bus, depending on time and day of the week. Taxi is available, but not cheap.
The food for us was fine, a buffet where one could choose from various hot and cold dishes plus a dessert. One of the nights we tried to get a drink in the bar on the lobby, but there was no one around to be found to serve us, so we skipped that idea.
My room actually was two rooms, first was a 'sitting room' with a minibar and a sofa - I never used it. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, but I had problems with the heavy smell of perfume that was absolutely overwhelming! My first reaction when I first entered the room was to open the windows wide, to have some fresh air in! I complained to the reception, and also left a note (in Italian) to the maid, and I don't think they put more perfume in, but the smell lingered... I pointed out to them that it could be dangerous for people with asthma or other respiratory problems, or allergies. I don't understand why they didn't think of that themselves!
In my room I had a free wifi internet connection, which I understand is not standard, but it was often very slow. To get a comfortable speed you had to choose a time of day when not so many people were using it.
