Excellent breakfast. Ideal if you have a car. There is a free car parking outside the building which is safe, so no need to pay extra for the indoors car park. Could improve on the Internet access. Child friendly. it would be my first choice if I come back to Rome (good value for money).

I will say they are doing renovation and maybe we stayed in an older room, but I don;t think I will be staying here again. Staff was great and it might be worth a try when renovations are finished.

The hotel was a strange mix of very good and very bad. The room was spacious and clean, but the mattress itself was horrible. Quiet room, though. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was great... one of the only ones in Italy worth eating lol... great variety & quality. The hotel was situated a full 15 minutes (walking) from the END of one of the subway lines... and the walk was through some pretty scary areas (dirty, vagrants, non-lighted etc).

Competent employees. Horrible surroundings (unless you like the view of recycling bins). Far from the city centre (you need car to get there unless you wanna spend an hour on buses).

The hotel was ideal for a family holiday - it provided a good base from which to explore Rome on a regular basis. The breakfasts are excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to use it as a base. It was extremely good value for money. The surrounding areas though are poor and the amenities at the hotel itself are very basic - there is an excellent and very friendly pizzaria (Pizza e Birra - great pizzas)just round the corner though - we spent a few nights there and were made to feel most welcome (good prices as well). To get to Rome itself you need to take a bus (the stop is just past the pizzaria) and take a 5 - 10 minute ride to the nearest metro station (Ponte Mammolo)and from there it is about 20 minutes to the centre of Rome (e.g. Colosseo). All the bus/metro services are frequent and cheap (just one euro each way) and you can even get to the beach by changing at Piramide. The only other thing to consider is that the hotel is the wrong side of Rome for Fiumicino airport - but the hotel will arrange for a four seater cab back there for fifty euros (you'll have to take your chances getting to the hotel though).

We stayed at this hotel for two nights and we did not have any water pressure or hot water to take our shower for the 2 days!!! We were told that they knew about it and they lied at us saying two times that the problem wouls be fixed within an hour. We were charged extra for the car parking - but they would not give us any reduction because of the lack of hot water. The hotel is in a dangerous surrounding - and far from the city by bus and metro. (Metro and bus is not available after midnight).

Service provided by welcoming staff is great and huge breakfast is all what you need to load yourself of enough energies to sightsee in Rome. Provided you have your own mean of transportation, yes. Because the hotel is hidden somewhere in the suburbs of Rome and there is simply nothing around there. Location is instead good if you have a car and wish to visit Tivoli or other amazing places around Rome. A bit more of tidying up in the rooms and in the public spaces (corridor carpets are dotted with ambiguous stains all over) would not be a bad idea. Good quality/price ratio for the Capital, anyway.

in the internet advertise was written "good public transportation" that was the cause why we decided to take this offer, but in fact we had to wait more than 30 min.for a bus and then we had to change for the metro wich takes another 20 min.the hotel lobby was very poor furnished and do not has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The location is remote from the city center, in no way is it "well connected by subway" - in fact it is 6 bus stops away from the closest subway station, and the bus stops running at 11:30pm. The hotel is basically in the middle of nowhere, and there are virtually NO restaurants and shops, to the contrary of what is stated in the overview! A restaurant across the street is the only one worth mentioning, there is also a pizza place a short walk away, but THAT'S IT! The whole area is DEAD, and what is worse - doesn't seem so safe at night time. Another misleading piece of information is the "airport shuttle" - they will call a taxi for you and charge 60 Euros for a ride to Fiumicino airport (the actual ride cost us 50 Euros, and we called the taxi ourselves). The staff members demonstrated substandard performance to say the least, and at times were plain rude. Generally, this was the biggest rip off, and we had to ask for our money back. If the size of the room matters to you - you might consider this place, the rooms are reasonably spacious, but as far as the location and the quality of service are concerned, Cascina Palace is an ABSOLUTE DISASTER! Oh, it was FREEZING COLD in the room too!!!

Die Einrichtung des Doppelzimmers ist spartanisch: Betten, ein Stuhl, kein Tisch, FS. Nach einer Reklamation wurde anstandslos ein neuer Raum angeboten (Dreibettzimmer), der etwa mehr Platz hatte, es wurde ein Stuhl hinzugestellt und an dem FS-Tisch war eine zusätzliche Ecke um z.B schriftliche Notizen zu erledigen. Jugendliche Reisegruppen prägen den Geräuschlevel spät abends und früh morgens erheblich!

For a budget hotel out of the centre of Rome this was a get what you pay for hotel. There was nothing fancy & the hotel staff were "there" but did not go out of their way to be overly helpful. It was "a place to stay". The triple room for the kids was a very good size. This room had good disabled access. Our standard room had a very pokey bathroom. I found the breakfast limited for my taste but the kids loved the fact that the buffet included cakes & what looked like pizza leftovers for breakfast!

El hotel esta fenomenal.Lo indica como 1 3 estrellas pero podría ser 1 4 estrellas perfectamente. La recepciónista super aplicada y te dá 1 información concreta de todo lo q le preguntamos. El desayuno fabuloso!!!Lo corroboro porq soy cocinero y sé de q vá esto.La habitación limpia y amplia. El baño limpio. Parking del hotel gratis!!!Garaje interior, no aparcas en la calle. Estás a 25 minutos del coliseo, 10 minutos en bus y otros 15 en metro. Quizá 1 poco complicado de encontrar si no hubiésemos llevado el GPS ya q íbamos con el coche. El precio, 77 € por noche es más que recomendable.Para cualquier duda escribidme al mail.Ciao

The hotel was nicer than the one my brother-in- law had for $250 euros; however, his was on via vento (The Eliseo), which was right in Rome. We would likely stay somewhere right in the main city of Rome if we come again. This hotel was too far out, but it is a good hotel. The bus ride and metro took 30 minutes total to get downtown. However, the cost was only 1 euro each. The metro ticket lasts for 75 minutes & includes the bus ride. You pick up the # 341 bus from the metro. Initially, from the airport, we took a train to the termini, where we got on B line metro subway & got off at Mammolo. The pick up point for the 341 bus is downstairs. However, we went right outside – upstairs- and it took a long time to find out we should be somewhere else. On the 341, the Cascina stop is 5 stops down – called Galbini (the clerk had emailed it was 6 stops down & we were wandering around with our luggage for 1 hour, trying to get directions without knowing the language - we laugh about it now). The hotel room had a nice bathroom (small shower), all very clean & had a complete breakfast - the best of our trip. The staff was very pleasant. One of the good parts about being so far from the city was you are right in the suburbs with the locals. At night, plan to go home early, as the metro shuts down before 10 pm in some areas. However, the taxi from via Veneto was only 15-21 euros for the both of us, depending upon the time of day. Do watch out for people who are too helpful. Father-in-law was approached by 3 woman-one with a baby-who tried to take his money out of his hand while the other reached for his pocket. But, could happen anywhere in the world. Rome was wonderful.

A nice hotel on the outskirts of Rome. Not much in the surrounding area, but the public transport into the heart of Rome was quite easy to use. Breakfast had a lot on offer but wasn't the nicest we had on our travels. This hotel is well suited to people with a vehicle who don't wish to brave the traffic in Rome- has secure parking and is not hard to get to.

Shiny new building, huge rooms, great breakfast. Far from city center, so don't stay out later than the metro runs (taxis are expensive). Hotel's computer sort of flaky: My key-card needed reprogramming on 2 of 4 nights and someone burst into my room at 7am, so use the deadbolt when you're there and take your passport with you when you leave.

L' albergo è ubicato in un edificio moderno, è indubbiamente assai economico e in una zona assai lontana dal centro. Io ho soggiornato in una stanza matrimoniale, purtroppo in bagno non c'era la presa elettrica e quindi era impossibile utilizzare il rasoio elettrico; come se non bastasse per accendere la luce della camera occorreva scendere dal letto e cercare a tastoni l' interruttore sulla parete. Un' altra peculiarità: al momento del ckeck-in fotocopiano la carta di credito, e ciò non mi pare assolutamente corretto. Nulla da eccepire per quanto riguarda la pulizia della stanza e della struttura in generale.

I've been in Cascina Palace last weekend. Paid 80 Euro per night, double room with private bathroom and good breakfast included. For what i paid, it is acceptable, since hotel prices in Rome are VERY EXPENSIVE! If you don't mind to be 11km distance from the center of Rome and if you are out of budget, this will be ok for you. First night: everything ok. Arrived at 23:30 at the hotel. No restaurant in the hotel, and restaurants nearby all closed after 22:30. Called for a taxi (10euro just for calling) and drove to a good restaurant called "Torre". Good and cheap. 6 Euro ppp. Second night: Wasn't lucky since the people from the room next side were making noise and laughting until 1AM. After warning them and the reception, they shut up. Woke up at 7AM with racket of workmanships. How to get into this hotel: FROM FIUMICINO AIRPORT 1) Take the train to Termini Station (5 Euro, 30minuts) 2) Take the subway line B, blue line to "Ponte Mamollo" (1 Euro, 20 minuts, direction rebibbia) 3) Take the Bus nr 341 and get out after 5 stops (Galbani Stop) (1 Euro i think, 15 minuts) 4) Walk 2 minuts, turning the first on your left, and you see the hotel cascina palace. This will take you about 1h15m HOW TO GO TO CENTER OF ROME: 1) Walk 2 minuts til bus stop. 2) Take bus 341 and get out on the last stop (Ponte Mamollo) 3) Take subway till termini, line B, blue line. (direction laurentina) 4) At termini, just choose were you want to go, you are at 10/15 minuts from everywere, with bus and subway. The area is SAFE, i walked there at night and no problem. It is a residencial area. Altought, you don't see anyone in the street at night. Very good pizzaria near the hotel. Staff of the hotel is helpful and speak english. If i would come here again? It Depends! I reserved this the day before arriving rome. It was a last time reservation. All hotels in rome (center) were full. If you are booking with some time, you can get better hotels in the center starting €1

The hotel in general was good. The staff, when they are helping, were very helpful. The "double" bed was infact 2 singles which was slightly annoying when the mattresses slipped.Room was cleaned and tidied every day very well.Air conditionding was a godsend. There was a gelataria (ice cream shop), pizza shop and supermarket within 1 minute walk. Bus dropped you on other side of the road from the hotel. Hotel in very safe area as opposed to Termini.

Preisbewußte Reisende finden alles, was Sie brauchen: ein sauberes Hotel mit freundlichem Personal in ruhiger Lage, ein bequemes Bett und ein sehr gutes Frühstück. Für den Preis darf man allerdings keinen Luxus erwarten und sollte ggf. über evtl. vorhandene Alterserscheinungen des Interieurs hinwegsehen können. Mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln (Metro + Bus) kommt man relativ gut in die Innenstadt, nichtsdestotrotz würden wir wegen der Lage für das nächste Mal ein Innenstadthotel bevorzugen.

The breakfast is excellent, the best breakfast i had throughout my stay in Italy for the same price. it worth $8-$10. But the hotel is difficult to find. it should be the 6th stop (counting the one which u get on the bus) since italian generally do not speak english, make sure u know how to get there before your journey. The bus do not stop at every station if there is no body pressing for a stop. I tried to ask the bus driver to call me to drop off. But he didnt, when i asked if i am there, he said he has forgotten to call me. very unpleasant experience. Apart from the difficulty in locating the hotel, i would recommend it.

Family of 4 from Melbourne, Australia. This is a brilliant place to stay if travelling by car - we didn't want to drive right into Rome. On the way in we recommend you stop at the Information Centre to get directions so you know which exit to take. Then keep your eyes open when you are close as Cascina Palace is quite easy to spot from a couple of blocks away. Good undercover parking was provided. It was an easy 3 minute drive to the train station, then about 30 mins to city. Room was great - clean & spacious. Good little restaurant across the road. Games area for kids was good. The breakfast was big and excellent quality. We recommend Cascina Palace & would go back.
