The Sheraton Roma Hotel & Conference Center is located close to the EUR Magliana area of Rome. This is a 4 Star hotel with conference centre, leisure facilities and hotel rooms that meet the expectations of a 4 star hotel.
We arrived from Leonardo da Vinci International Airport by bus and the walk from EUR Magliana station was unpleasant-having to navigate major roads with very few footpaths with heavy luggage. We got a taxi on the way back to Rome Ciampino airport and that option was far more comfortable! We chose this hotel as part of a short break and having visited Rome previously the plan was to have a few days relaxing holiday making use of the hotel facilities and a few trips to Rome rather than spending most time in Rome city centre.
There is a hotel shuttle bus to Rome at discounted rates for hotel guests but this only runs till 22:00 so if you plan to spend most of your time in Rome book a hotel nearer the centre.
The check in was smooth and professional-the staff were slightly over-professional with a slight edge as can be the way with some 4 Star hotels-a warmer approach would have been welcome.
We were upgraded from a Classic Room to a Superior Room and while this was pleasant enough there was nothing too exciting.
The lobby area is smart as is the hotel bar. We used room service and enjoyed a lovely fresh fruit platter delivered quickly to the room. The outdoor swimming pool area was pleasant enough although slightly cool in September!
Would say that the room rate is slightly over-priced in view of the uninspiring room standard and lack of proximity to Rome.
However if you are attending a conference or event or a stop over before/after a flight then the hotel is a good option if you are looking for a 4 star property.
