Located half way been Rome Fiumicino airport and the city centre, this Sheraton hotel has a few pros and cons.

On the plus side. It is located adjacent a golf course (building 1) and there is plenty of green around the hotel. It comes in three separate buildings (1, 2 and 3) used for different functions and has a maximum of 5 floors per building. This separation ensures a minimum of interruption and interaction between the convention guests, the golfing guests, visitors, the regulars such as airline crew and Police that use it for accommodation.

It is quiet without road noise, airport noise or city noise to disturb your rest. The staff are exceedingly friendly. There are outdoor terrace areas ideal for summer day or nights a get together.

The rooms are a good size, comfortable and relatively well decorated. The bed is extremely comfortable. The rooms air conditioned. The internet is at a good speed.

On the negative side, the hotel is very isolated. The city is 17 km away which is about 25 minutes by car or bus. There is no local public transport within walking distance. Taxi fare to/from the city could cost you around 40 or more. There are no local restaurant (other than the hotel) or shops.

To overcome this, the hotel offers a shuttle bus which is either complimentary or 5 depending on your room rate. They operate shuttle vans to the airport by advanced booking.They also operate a large bus to/from the city centre (Teatro Marcello) and also to/from the nearest railway station (Magliana) and the EuroMa2 shopping mall. Unfortunately they use one bus to do it all so the service is not as Regular as one would like. See the attached time table picture.

Overall you have to balance the pros and cons for yourself. It is a lovely hotel and the room rates very good value. If you are into golfing then the 24 hole course and driving range will make this hotel a no brainer.
