Pisana Palace more like Pisana Hostel

Advantages: Nice resturant
Disadvantages: Far out, dated, horrid

...in April and booked this Hotel through Expedia as it was stated at 4*. Upon arrival to the Hotel, it was all old fashioned and quite dingey. Inside the carpets had stain's on and the Hotel lobby was very basic, few chairs dotted around. The staff were not exactly friendly and didnt like to be put out of their way to help you. There were 3 telephone booths in the lobby, one for cards and 2 for cash. The lifts could fit a few people in at anytime ...
...no good view. The Hotel is situated quite far out from the town and is a 15 minute bus journey to the Vatican. The Hotel does supply a shuttle bus 6 times a day 3 in the morning and 3 in the late afternoon/evening for 9 euro per person to the Airport. The hotel does have a resturant which was the nicest part of the hotel and the meals are reasonably priced. The hotel is supposed to have a bar but there was NO sight of any bar when we went there ...

The P Palace

Advantages: value for money
Disadvantages: slightly far out of the city

...what we got from the Pineta Palace. The Pineta Palace is situated in the north west of Rome, has 200 rooms, is about 5km from the city centre, has a restaurant, an indoor bar, an outdoor bar and a business conference centre. For a one night stay, a room costs around 40 euros, but if you're staying for a week there's quite a good discount. Getting There The hotel is about a 25 minute taxi drive from Rome's main airport. We had pre-booked a taxi ...
...The taxi on the way back at the end of our holiday, however, which we booked from the hotel, ended up setting us back 50 euros, so it's definitely a good idea to book your taxis in advance. Getting around Rome from the hotel was really easy. The hotel has a shuttle bus service which runs a service into the centre of Rome with a bus leaving approximately every half hour (from approx 7am to 6pm). Tickets are about 2 euros for a day pass. The pick up ...

A decent hotel near Termini

Advantages: Clean, close to transportation
Disadvantages: No breakfast included in our package

...and 5 nights at the Bettoja Hotel Nord Nuova Roma for 720 £ (about 1300$), excluding breakfast. As usual, it was not easy to decide which hotel to choose. We did some homework and most reviews indicated that the Termini area was "highly undersirable". The decision to stay in the area was influenced by price and the fact that there were renowned 4-5 star hotels in the same vicinity - how "undersirable" could the area really be then? On the morning ...
...using the Leonardo express. The hotel is located in the street Giovanni Amendola so it is only a short walk from the main entrance of the train station. The reception desk area was typical for a smaller European hotel I guess: quite tiny. But the check in was pretty fast and after filling in some papers we got the key to room 544 and took the lift to our room on the 5th floor. The room looked really dark when we came in but it got much lighter when ...

Want to Roam around Rome? - Stay Here!

Advantages: Location, Price and Staff
Disadvantages: Nothing, It is what it is!

...Location ********* The Clarin Hotel is a 2 star hotel situated in Via Palermo, a street central to the city centre although on the Eastern side, and approximately a 5 minute walk from Termini Station and a 10-12 minute walk to the Coliseum and many other attractions. I would recommend getting the train from the airport (either of them) to Termini Station as the hotel is 2 roads away from the station, and as long as your case has wheels or bag isn't ...
...I ended up booking the Clarin Hotel via the intermediary Lastminute.com and I don't know how much they charge in commission but I still found it reasonably priced. I have been on city breaks before where we have skimped on spending loads on a hotel in the centre and ended up suffering and having to wait for buses/trams/taxi's to take us in and out. Which ends up costing a bomb. So I decided this trip we would pay the money and stay in the centre ...

Sharing my experience of the Sheraton Roma

Advantages: Comfortable hotel - handy for the metro
Disadvantages: Characterless - can be expensive

...booking the Sheraton. The Sheraton isn't in central Rome, it's in the EUR district. This presented no significant problem however. It's a breeze to find - take junction 26 on the ring road and head for central Rome. Go through the EUR district almost to the very end and turn left at the sign that says 'Sheraton Hotel' (you can see it from the road anyway). It's a big, modern(ish) hotel with absolutely no redeeming features architecturally but all ...
...what you'd expect in a Sheraton - glitzy and shiny with lots of leather sofas dotted around for those little tete-a-tetes, a large area to go online (or as they say ' the Link@Sheraton experienced with Microsoft'), and a large piano bar just off to the side. There's also a small shopping mall with four or five outlets offering gifts, jewellery and tobacco etc. Having sorted that all out, I went to park the car. The hotel does have (unguarded) free ...
