Summit Roma Hotel, Rome

Advantages: Cool Pool
Disadvantages: Distance From City Centre

...daughter). We stayed at the Summit hotel, which we booked after weeks of trawling the internet for a suitable base. We were pleasantly surprised!! The Summit is some way out of the centre of Rome, but is a great place to relax after a long day traipsing around the many places of interest. The large pool is a fine place to cool off, as I found out very quickly. My daughter and I spent many hours during the week just splashing around!! The rooms ...
...the food served at the poolside restaurant was plentiful and tasty - At prices comparable with city centre eateries. The hotel is situated 4 miles outside the city centre, but there are plenty of options for getting into town. A regular shuttle bus from the hotel ferries you to the nearest Metro station and there are frequent buses a short walk from the hotel. Taxi's are also very reasonable, especially if there are a few of you travelling. A trip ... Read review

Advantages: continental breakfast; outdoors swimming pool
Disadvantages: THE ENTIRE HOTEL BADLY NEEDS RESTORATION, REFURBISHING & SANITATION!

I stayed at Summit from 14th to 16th May 2008. Location is TRAGIC. It is not in Rome, franklly speaking, it is hardly in Rome. Rather in some village. It takes 3 (THREE) hours to walk from Colosseum (and other places of interest) to Summit. Going by bus will hardly help as the bus runs once per hour. The place itself is easily recognizable by a smell of horseshit. There are marks of water on the walls and ceilings in all parts of the hotel. And it ...
...swimming pool - but I saw no one there. The breakfast is served only from 7 am - even if we had to leave to Rome for the forum and conference (which, thank God, was not held at "Summit") at 7:45 already. The food is good but standard (the sausage, omelette, boiled eggs, cheese, ham, juice, coffee, pastries). The reception demands 100 EUR from you as the deposit in case you'd drink all contents of the minibar. In the room itself there is only a shower ... Read review

Advantages: friendly staff, good restaurant
Disadvantages: old mossy rooms and lobby, no gym, bad connection with the city

This hotel should be downgraded to a 2 star. The hotel rooms are old-looking, the hotel lobby looks like last time refurnished in seventees. No gym, swimming pool only in the summer. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful but that´s the only thing I liked about this place.. The hotel has a very very bad connection with the city - there are only 4 shuttles a day to get to the city. The train stop is 400metres away and trains go about every hour ... Read review
