Stayed there with a group of travellers in the first week of Jan. I didnt even notice any broken sign, too me i was happy i was in another hotel. Barman was very cool...looks like a Jude Law clone. And he pours a mean whiskey...giving you a quadruple when you ask for a double! Bar stayed open pretty late. Rooms were nice but only had one power charger. TV was very very small...think my IPOD screen is bigger. Receptionist/manager was ok..had no troubles with him. There was a very attractive brunette also working behind reception. I didnt have a key to get back in my room one night, because my roomate was out and had it. Manager did not scream at me, though he thought i wanted to dial another room when i explained i lost my key. They had many photocopies of a map on how to get into Rome. Getting into Rome, you had to take Bus 31. Roughly a 20 min ride, so be prepared to wait a while. Supper we had consisted of pork with lots of fat, and was tasty. Breakfast was good..ample amount of food and cold meats. All in all..its a decent place to stay on a budget, but it does feel you are stuck in a 80's timewarp and Michael J Fox is ready to travel Back Into The Future. Forgot to mention, only one elevator out of the two worked.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The rooms were very large and generally clean. The decor wasn't especially new but not too bad. Most of the rooms had a balcony but nothing special (most views were of neighboring apartments). I believe the TV was available if you paid extra. We stayed with a group and some rooms had air conditioning but our did not. It wasn't too hot at night but during the day it would be. There is a pool on the property with a refreshment stand there. It was a very quiet and relaxed place and the service was very good. They spoke English well and were happy to accomodate our requests. The breakfasts were typical Italian (buns, cereal, yogurt, coffee and juice).
It was very difficult to find and it took our driver about 45 minutes with the help of our guide (who lives in Rome) and GPS. It is about a 20min. drive to central Rome and is in a not so nice area.
As a tourist, I wouldn't stay here again because of the location.

We were pleasantly surprised!! We had already booked this hotel before we read the previous trip advisor reviews. So we were not expecting the hotel to be up to much. But, the rooms were tidy and were cleaned with fresh towels everyday. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The breakfast was continental and adequate.

Unfortunately, the downside of this hotel was the location and the links with public transport. Be prepared for a lot of walking and the steep hill outside the hotel.

All this aside, this is a cheap hotel and you get what you pay for!!

A good budget hotel if you don't mind using public transport.

Good: low price, nice rooms, quiet location with a nice view

Bad: in the middle of nowhere, often crowded with school and tourist groups, decent bus service crawls into town at rush hour
