TOO FAR OUT!Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
2Once we got off the terravision at Termini we were told (after an hour of asking) that there is no easy way to prenestina - its 25 euros in a taxi. hotel once we got there very far out, staff snooty and unhelpful, room average, however we did get upgraded to a suite when sink broke (after a day of complaining). u must get a bus from the bus stop to the left of the hotel (and across the road, beside what looks like a prison) the 508, to ponte mammalo, then get the subway into termini, the journey takes 50 minutes if u hit it right. no restaurants or shop anywhere near hotel, and it there are numerous prostitutes loitering around the streets late at night. if u are a 1st time traveller to Rome and are looking for a romantic holiday, then do not stop there, its too far, and u have to come back from central rome by 11 as the transport stops. stay in central rome as close to via nacionale or via repubblica/ via condotti as possible and u'l be fine!
