“Strongly recommend that you DON'T stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

We booked this hotel as we saw it was a "Hot deal" on HRS... and the distance from the airport (Campiano) didn't appear to be that far. However, the location was really terrible. We thought that we would be able to use the shuttle advertised on the site, but that is not always available and we were not able to secure it for our arrival. We ended up traveling as per the concierge's recommendation by shuttle, and then train and then when we were supposed to take the last bus (10:30pm) we were told they don't run that late and then still had to pay over 40 Euro for a taxi (in addition to the train fare and bus fare).

Basically, if you're travelling with public transport - I would steer clear of this hotel as it is just too far out and the shuttle service is unreliable. We booked it for a specific pick up at night and it didn't pitch up and the hotel staff member who was accountable was completely unapologetic (and downright defensive and rude) even though he knew it was his mistake. I also really felt uncomfortable walking to the hotel from the bus station at night and it's way more than the supposed 600m (from the bus stop) advertised by the hotel. The bus is also difficult to find, not really timeous and the bus stop information advertised by the hotel is incorrect.

The room was quite grubby (cobwebs on the ceiling) and the beds were ROCK hard. The linen wasn't nice and it wasn't changed at all during our stay.

The breakfast was really bad and not worth going for. The little stuff they did have was stale and tasted terrible.

I would recommend finding a hotel closer to the Grand Termini so as not to waste 2 hours or more of your day travelling to your hotel. It will also allow you to stay out later in the evenings as you will not have to be concerned about public transport safety and operating times.

“Beautiful Hotel, but far from central Rome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

Beautiful facility, and excellent breakfast. The coffee was wonderful. Location is remote and it seems out of place in the surrounding area.

“Too Far from Rome”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2004
16
people found this review helpful

I stayed in the hotel Clelia Palace whilst on a coach trip. The Hotel was very nice, beautiful entrance hall, all marble, and the rooms were very comfortable, but no tea or coffee making facilities. Breakfast was the usual continental type.
The only criticism that I have is that it is too far outside of Rome to do any sight seeing, It took us over an hour to travel into the centre of Rome from the hotel using public transport. and in the evening we returned to the hotel by taxi it cost us 50 euro and the taxi driver did not know where he was going he had to ask several times.
This was not just our driver but several other people who got taxi's back said the some thing, the Rome taxi drivers did not know where the hotel was, as it was so far outside the city centre.
I would not choose this hotel if I was going to Rome sight seeing.
