Sheraton claim this is one of the largest hotels in Rome...they also claim it's one of the most attractive. Hmm.
Having said that, for a capital city hotel, it was I suppose fairly large. It's just that you'd expect a modern Sheraton to have larger than average rooms.
Anyway, back to the bathroom (I knew I shouldn't have eaten that shellfish).
Again, although the decor was quite luxurious, the toiletries on offer were run-of-the-mill and I've had larger, softer and fluffier towels in far cheaper hotels too.
It was very clean though.
As for amenities, well it pretty much had everything going that way - fitness room. lovely pool, restaurants, meeting rooms...yadda, yadda, yadda.
We were only there for one night and we spent that mostly in town so didn't really get a chance to try anything out. We did have breakfast though. Gawd knows how ...
Advantages: Walking distance from home Disadvantages: Not worth walking to
Let's get one thing straight right away. Tony Romas doesn't have a restaurant in Edinburgh but there is a newly opened one in Livingston. Can the ciao database be wrong? It hardly bears thinking about. Anyway, Livingston is close enough to Edinburgh as far as I'm concerned and it should be for you too.
Phase 3 of Livingston's town centre opened just in time for Xmas last year and one of the features was an outdoor 'promenade' of sorts featuring a number of restaurant chains including Nandos, Wagamama, Chiipolatas (or some such Mexican-type thing) among others. Among the others is Tony Romas.
I can't say I was all that tempted by chicken piri-pri or guacamachillilitos, so Tony Romas it was to be.
Livingston is just the place for a corporate branded, characterless chain restaurant - we don't do quaint or cute here. So shiny ...
Advantages: Queue jumping, don't have to worry about entrance fees Disadvantages: Can not be cost effective
The Roma Pass was something a work colleague mentioned to me, although she did not know the name just there was some card thing that gets you benefits.
So I looked up things to do in Rome and eventually came across the website for the Roma Pass through a link from another website. The Roma Pass website is: http://www.romapass.it/?l=en
The website gave me a great insight as to what the card was, there are 2 types of cards, so it explains what both offer and how much they cost.
The standard (red) Roma Pass costs 23 Euros, and the Roma & Piu (blue) Pass costs 25 Euro's.
The website goes on to have tabs for museums, events, a virtual tour, information, download and buy. I opted not to buy ours online, and decided I would get them when there.
The website sells the cards with this strap line "The Cards that offers you ...
