This is a good 4 star hotel within a 5 minute walk from Termini railway station. This means it is easy to get to from Leonardo da Vinci (Fiomicino) airport because there is a half hourly shuttle direct from the airport to Termini for only 11 euros per person.
The hotel is delightful. The rooms were small but splendid including tea and coffee making facilities and bedroom slippers. The TV had only 2 English channels so we watched a lot of CNN. The bathroom is very well equipped and the bath and shower were both lovely and hot. There was a well equipped mini bar and a safe. Our only problem was that the room was really hot and we had to open a window. It was a very mild December.
They don't have a restaurant (they do bar snacks but the sandwiches are rather boring) but there are loads of eating place for all budgets within a five minute walk. Don't walk south though (the area gets decidedly dodgy quite quickly at night)
Really recomended. The staff were all really helpful especially the waiters at breakfast and the barman.
Unique Qualities: Breakfast is on the (enclosed) roof top terrace (beautiful) and is standard buffet.
The bar has happy hour at 6.30 PM to 8.00 PM at 5 euro each drink and the Long Island Iced Teas were the strongest I have ever drunk.
The staircase is brilliant!!!
