We stayed as a couple on our first visit to Rome. We flew in to Ciampino and the location is perfectly in the middle between the airport and Rome centre. It is out of the hustle and bustle of Rome so is nice and peaceful. It’s a nice little residential area. The hotel offer a free shuttle in the mornings to Laurentina metro station and it is a 15-20 minute ride on the metro into the centre, very easy to do. The shuttle does not come and collect you it is only going out from the hotel. We walked to the metro one day and in the nice weather it was actually nice to see around the area and explore. Watch your belongings at all times in Rome, there is a police presence at the metro to keep an eye for pick pockets. The metro can get very busy. A taxi to or from the hotel to the centre will cost you around €25-30 depending on where you go, we used Uber. We also just did the same when coming back to the hotel and getting off at Laurentina and this costs roughly around €10-15. Other taxis may be different we didn’t use any. To be out in a peaceful residential area it was worth it as Rome centre is extremely busy all the time and it was relaxing and peaceful to come back to after a busy day around lots of people. You need to book the shuttle to the metro beforehand to ensure you get a space but we never saw it booked out fully and always got a spot. It takes 4 people max at a time. The hotel is very clean and the amenities are great, the hotel bases itself on simplicity and they have done this very well. A bit of advice on plugs, this has the old fashioned Italian style small two-pin plug on most plug sockets so a general EU one won’t fit, we managed to easily get a couple at the nearby shopping mall however or there are plenty of places in the centre to get this if you didn’t get them beforehand so don’t worry. There was one normal EU plug next to the bathroom door at the floor if you wanted to use but isn’t near the bed or tables. There are no USB ports. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom, a safe, and a small fridge with a couple of complimentary bottles of water and a tv you can screen mirror on from your phone or tablet or watch CNN or BBC news which are the only English channels, there is also AC in the room which was good on the really warm days. Plenty of storage space too. The staff are really friendly and will help you out with whatever you need. We hired a car for 2 days and there is free secure underground parking which was perfect. The rooftop terrace is lovely and the food is really good. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
