Hotel Aurora Garden - Rome, Italy 

after booking this hotel i was slightly worried by some of the reviews it got.i have to say i was very happily surprised.the hotel was clean and the staff very friendly,most of them spoke very good english,much better than my italian anyway! yes it is outside of rome centre but the buses are so regular that it really doesnt matter.it takes about 30 minutes and it was 1 euro for the bus all the way into rome and they run untill midnight so getting back was no problem either.i would strongly recommend the aurora garden to anyone wanting a cheap,clean and friendly place to stay whilst in rome.

I have to admit I was slightly worried about staying at this hotel and regretted booking after reading some of the reviews on this site. Having just come back from our long weekend away and returning to this site it has become completely obvious who wrote all the bad reviews. All the American tourist did not have a single good thing to say about this accomodation which i have to whole heartedly dissagree with. The hotel is nicely decorated, rooms are of a decent size and extremely clean. Although the hotel is small it makes it friendly and personal. The staff spoke extremely good english and couldn't do enough to help. As far as the distance away from the centre of Rome, it was around 40 minutes away and you do have to take 1 bus and the metro but as the buses and trains run regularly and are exceptionally cheap, it doesn't make it a problem. If someone wants five star accomodation then that is what they should book. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
