Eastern 2013
We stayed in the hotel for 5 nights. the people who work here are very friendly, and willing to help. the room we stayed in was on the first floor, so we even had a little balcony. the room was vey clean, good size and the beds were hard (but we like that). the bathroom was also up to standers. maybe the shower could be a little bit bigger. our stay was good, but we have a few points of criticisme.
the hotel says it is wheelchair friendly. i am using a wheelchair, but if i couldn't stand or walk a fewe steps i would have had a problem. the entrance has a few stairs and before you get to the elevator there are also 2 steps. the elevator is very small, it was not possible to stay seated in my chair while using the elevator. i had to stand up and take the peddles for my feet of the chair. if you can't walk up a few stairs than they have the possibility to use the back entrance, where there is a stair-elevator. but to get there someone must open the big door, because the walk-through door is very narrow and a wheelchair doesn't fit. to get inside throught the back-entrance you, once again, have to take a step to get inside.
so i do not recommend this hotel for wheelchair users.
the wifi connection in the hotel is not free. in the lobby you can use the computer with internet for 2 euro per 30 min (could be 60 min, i'm not sure). if you want wifi on your phone or tablet you have to pay 5 euro for 24 hours. we tought it was to much, because you spent most time outside your hotel. also the shuttle-service offered by the hotel is very pricey. you pay 50 euro for a single ride (the fixed prices for all taxi's in rome is 35 euro from ciampino and 48 from the other airport).
and the city-shuttle is 6 euro single trip, and the stop from this is about a 10 minute walk.
but al things considered we would recommend the hotel to our friends and family, if they are not in a wheelchair.
