The hotel is modern and new. Not on all maps of Rome it can be found. In the internet at the moment there is information that the hotel is just under construction. Good interiors, friendly staff, roomy high-speed elevators. The room is spacious - modern furniture, comfortable beds and snow-white linen, an unusual interior, a very interesting solution for lighting and lighting the room. There is a TV in the room (there is a Russian-language channel, but there is absolutely no time to watch); the refrigerator is small, but all Italian perishable delicacies can be placed; built-in wardrobe for clothes; a large safe, where photo and video equipment is easily placed; air conditioning. Toilet room - shower, bidet, excellent plumbing. Three towels included, change daily if desired. Room cleaning daily with replenishment of cosmetics for the shower. Impeccable cleanliness both in the room and throughout the hotel.
Meals - buffet. The richest assortment for every taste, will satisfy the needs of any gourmet. It doesn't make sense to list.
The hotel is a real pilgrimage of tourists from Japan, reminiscent of a conveyor belt, every evening the arrival of new groups.

In the immediate vicinity of the supermarket "Auchan". The prices are very reasonable, you can buy a complete Italian tourist set: mozzarella, moscarpone, parmesan, a lot of pasta, yogurt, wine, limoncello, amaretto - your head is spinning. At the checkout, they immediately calculate for such a set of products - touristo!
The only drawback of the hotel is its location in a residential area of ​ ​ Rome, a significant distance from the center, and even from the metro station. It takes at least an hour to get to the Colosseum. From the hotel through the Auchan parking lot to the stop - fermata "Grotta di Gregna (Collantina)" - bus number 450. At each stop there is an information sign with the bus timetable. Usually they waited for the bus for about 10 minutes, but returning to the hotel in the evening around 20-00, they waited for the bus for 30-35 minutes. Buses are comfortable with air conditioning, which is important in summer. The driver does not sell tickets, and does not announce stops. A ticket can be bought on the bus using the services of a vending machine - a silent, but very rude seller - does not give change, simply forgives you. Therefore, it is imperative to have a small change with you, the cost of a ticket is 1.5 euros. The validity of the ticket is 100 minutes. It is valid for metro travel and later when transferring to a bus. There is another automatic machine on the bus - a composter, without which the ticket is invalid, and the fare is considered unpaid. Some tourists were cunning, but I think "this game is not worth the candle. " Get off at the sixth stop, its name is consonant with the metro station "Santa Maria del Soccorco", 10-15 minutes on the way (depending on the number of stops). Do not try to count the stops - there are from 2 to 6 stops along the route for each stop name, the bus does not stop at each, only on request, so do not forget to raise your hand or press the buttons to stop the bus. All buses have (but not all work) a silent information monitor, which indicates the route and the name of the stops. If it is difficult to navigate, you can ask the driver, maybe this is not accepted, but we applied. Italians basically do not learn foreign languages, so communication in English is meaningless, only Italian.
The metro has its own jokes - trains run along different routes on the same metro line. When descending into the subway, you must know the final metro station of your route. In the metro, you can buy a ticket for the return trip of the metro-bus (only you need to validate it immediately before the trip). 30 minutes (10 stops) by metro and you are at the Colosseum.
I was distracted by transport, but believe me - this is very important. Now to the hotel - you will not find such a level of service for little money in Rome. The impressions of the hotel are very pleasant, the distance from the center does not scare, I recommend it.
