Worst "hotel" experience ever. For starters, I use the term…read more"hotel" suuuuuper loosely here. There was less than a foot of room between the wall and all sides of the "bed" (two colossally crappy twins pushed together in the middle of the room -- lumpier than my mom's mashed potatoes and that's saying something). The walls were as paper-thin as the mattresses (my husband asked me "what did you say" when someone on the other side of the wall spoke because even a hushed speaking voice travels through the walls). Somehow, we managed to fall asleep nonetheless, but woke up in the middle of the night (5 a.m. to be exact) to someone blaring their car horn and screaming for roughly 15 minutes straight. When they finally left, they drove so recklessly I felt both personally in danger of them running me over with their car and fiscally in danger of them plowing into our rental car. We were certainly not going to stay another night. Somehow, we managed to finally get back to sleep only to be awoken again at 8:30 a.m. by more screaming, this time on the part of hotel staff. First thing in the morning, "Housekeeping" was in the room of the people who'd made the ruckus the previous night. I'm guessing they must've trashed their room because housekeeping was slamming things around and screaming a ton. I opened my door and found the housekeepers were throwing trash out the window of the neighboring unit right onto our doorstep, including a used pregnancy test. The Health Department in the US would shut this place down in an INSTANT. Yet, when we explained why we were checking out early and would like to be reimbursed for the nights we would no longer be staying there -- they refused. "There are lots of Australians here right now," the manager said as if this explained something. For starters, the folks screaming/honking at 5 a.m. weren't Aussies, the staff that was screaming and throwing garbage at us weren't Aussies, their uncomfortable beds and mildewy rooms have nothing to do with Aussies, and adding racism to the already ugly experience we had here was really the moldy icing on a cake made of toxic waste. Yucko!

This place is definitely geared up for young groups who have their own guides. Families are left to…read moreget on with it and offered very little in the way of service or hospitality. The restaurant manager was possibly one of the rudest men I've ever met and beware them charging 5 euros for small portions of barely cooked chips. The pizza and pasta dishes were reasonably priced and of a good quality. The camp site itself is pleasant enough, filled with compact chalet accommodation and caravans (luxury apparently, although I beg to differ). Be prepared to have to put down a deposit for any basics like plates and cups or a remote for your TV. The site also requires you to put a deposit on a card and top this up to make payments at the shop, bar and swimming pool - you have to pay for that too. The scenery is good and there is a convenient shuttle bus to and from the nearby train station where you can easily head into Rome within 25 minutes. A travel card is just 4 euros and can be purchased from the campsite shop. Luckily the company I was with made up for the lack of friendly staff, I wouldn't be quick to go back there though.
