I've been in Rome in December 2010 and I've chosen this hotel because it had a very low price. I've payed 125 E for 3 nights and in my opinion the distance to the city center is compensated by the good price and the conditions offered for this price.

I've seen some negative reviews for this hotel but i have to say that my experience was positive. I had a big, clean room with a clean bathroom, the breakfast was great and the public transport was good as well.

The trip from the hotel to the city center takes about 35-45 minutes and costs 1 E.
One has to take the bus (341,350 or 311) to Ponte Mammolo or Rebibbia metro station and then the metro to anywhere else.
The bus station (Galbani Negroni- second stop on Galbani street) is a few meters away.

Near by there is also a small complex (super - market , gas station, sweets store, pizza restaurant).

The hotel was clean and modern, and our room was comfortable modern and clean BUT to get into rome you need to get on a public bus and go on a trip through the residential streets just to get to the metro/subway. The subway stop is like the last one on the line. If you want to have nights out in Rome itself (lets face it - there isnt much AT ALL happening around this hotel) , you'll have to get a taxi and they arent cheap - and the drivers are crazy.

The hotel is just too far out if you are going to Rome for sightseeing as you take up too much time trying to get in and out of Rome - at the end of the day when you are exhausted and your feet hurt you dont want a whole nother adventure just to make it home. Wouldnt stay here again for that reason.

The hotel was modern and very clean. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast bar was excellent. There is something there to cater for all needs. Although the hotel is a little distant from the centre of Rome, it is very close to public transport. The staff show such a genuine interest in how you spent your day and they make evry effort to ensure your stay is enjoyable
