We booked this hotel as a package through love holidays as a family weekend break with our older teenage children. The hotel is 30 mins from Ciampino airport not the stated 60 mins on the website-that’s as good as it gets I’m afraid! Staff extremely rude, inattentive and clearly not fans of the English clientele! Bathroom mouldy, shower tiny (supposed wet room), walls have scuff marks all over and have clearly not been painted for some time, only one pillow available and bed is a thin mattress on an MDF board. Downstairs rooms we stayed in had no terrace/balcony and next to restaurant which was separated by a piece of MDF (noise begins at 6am when they are setting up for breakfast and ends at midnight when what felt like the staff chose to have their catch ups outside the door of our room well passed midnight every night. Air conditioning controlled by the main reception which only works for 4 minute blasts, the weather was + 30 degrees for the duration of our stay and our room had no opening windows. Centre of Rome is not the stated short distance but is 30 mins in a taxi which costs 30 euros each way Bus stop is the other side of a dual carriageway and is around a 15 minute walk, you would then need to get to the metro and navigate that to get to the tourist destinations. The shop is not the stated 100m away and more like 1 mile along an extremely unsavoury area littered with what I will describe as used male contraception amongst lots of other rubbish! There is NO gym as stated, the staff were extremely rude when questioned on this fact! The pool opened on the second day of our visit and is very nice-when open! There is also a weird rule that to enter the pool you need to purchase a swimming cap from behind reception for 3 euro each! Bar not open until 6pm-that’s if the bar man decides to turn up and the reception staff refused to serve us until he did turn up at around 7pm, staff also note down against your room number what you have bought from the bar-bizarre! No fridge or tea and coffee making facilities in the room Breakfast is awful-a few pastries, some coffee and watered down juice Wi-Fi non existent, you can get some signal if you sit by the pool-which as I stated is not always open and locked with a bike lock. I might add that I’ve never ever complained about a hotel we have ever stayed in around the world but I would hate for another family/group to have the same experience as us. This is allegedly classed as a 4*, it is a 2* at a push! Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!!!
