On the day we arrived, I was told by the staff beforehand that we had to take a blue cotral bus to Annigna (metro station) then from Annaigna take the bus 507 to the hotel. Under the directions section of this hotel it says all this and that the 507 is only 6 stops from the metro station, well its not! We had to wait half and hour to an hour till the cotral bus came and journey was pretty long, maybe half an hour. Then the 507 was another 20 minutes or so. When we arrived the staff were friendly and throughout as well. The hotelis not very close at all to the city centre and you need atleast and hour to get to the city centre, the best way is to go to Anaignina and you can go anywhere from there. Taxi's are expensive, around 30 euros but the good thing is that by taxi the hotel is only around half hour or so from the hotel (this is without traffic).
The room was basic and you can tell you're staying in a budget hotel, there were little insects in the sink and floor (so watch where you step) when I picked up a towel it had a tear in it and wasn't clean also the cleaners didnt clean our room and when we asked the reception for clean towels she said 'oh didnt you get any? wasnt your room cleaned?' When we said no she said oh sorry the cleaners clean the rooms everyday, well forget are's. But when we came back to our hotel the room had been cleaned. So finally, they did listen!!! The heating was ok, the first night was cold so i had to request for an extra blanket. The breakfast was standard and continental. The glazed croissants were delightful!
You can buy a one eura bus and train ticket from the hotel that lasts for 75minutes and then from Anaignina you can buy another ticket for 4 euros and that lasts all day. The subway (metro)is waht i would recommend its just like london, theres only two lines, which are: LINE A: red line-anaignina and LINE B: BLUE LINE: BATTISTINI. you go to the major sights from this, for instance: 'SPAGNA' is a few minnutes walk from the 'spanish steps' and for those of you who loves shopping you would be in heaven and this is on LINE A.
The hotel states as well there is a restaurant nearby, yes there is but this is a shabby pizza place and you can take away to the hotel but i wouldnt recommend it! Only if you're dying of hunger!
I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you want to go sight seeing as its middle of nowhere!!!
