Rome Hotel

Has anyone stayed at this hotel in Rome?​

It is kind of a modern resort. It is not in the historic district but the reviews and price are very good.

I have to weigh the value of cost saving versus location

No way I'd stay 4+ miles outside of Rome even if it is a nice hotel.

It's very off-center, making you dependent on the hotel shuttle or taxis to get you to the touristic parts of the city. If you are staying there only one or two nights before a cruise, that can sort of be offset by the fact that you shave about 30 minutes of transit time from there to Civitavecchia on the morning of the cruise.

I guess the choice depends on the cost comparison with a centrally located hotel, the type of visit you wish to do in Rome and if you are cruising at the end of your stay. Personally, I would stay in central Rome, preferring to get an early start to my visit days.

If I'm going to Rome, I want to be in the thick of things. When I think back on our time in Rome while we obviously enjoyed seeing all the "sights", what I think back the most fondly on was just roaming the streets in the evening, hopping in somewhere for a drink or a bite to eat, just being there.

We stayed near the train station which is also where the buses are and which we only took once. The rest of the time, we walked as long as it was within 30-45 minutes one way. So we were able to reach a lot of areas without having to rely on taxis, shuttles, or buses which gave us a lot of freedom. We were also close to a lot of restaurants and places to get snacks. If there is a frequent shuttle and/or it's not too expensive, it might be worth it but if the time and hassle (or cost) to get to the things you want to see is high, it could interfere with your enjoyment of Rome.
