Hotel Romulus Rome Location (Map)
The Hotel Romulus Rome is situated in the northern area of Rome on the Via Salaria, close to the beautiful park of Villa Ada. Rome has two international airports and the connections from the airport to the city centre and the hotel are excellent. The hotel is not far away from the Fidene train station and trains to reach the centre of Rome depart every 30 minutes.
The Via Salaria (salt road) is one of the oldest roads in Italy. It was the route by which salt was transported from the coast to Rome. The ancient Romans went to great lengths to promote and preserve the salt trade in Italy, recognising the benefits of salt as a preservative and it's many health benefits. Salt took on a religious and social significance in the ancient world connecting it with the idea of a covenant or a binding relationship. To eat salt with another person was to create a bond of friendship. Throwing salt over your right shoulder would remove a curse. In some cultures salt denoted a position of honour and the placement of the salt cellar declared that person the "salt of the earth"…
How to reach the Hotel Romulus?By car: Arriving by car is possible and extremely convenient for a number of reasons. First of all the hotel has a large parking area and therefore is a popular hotel with businessmen travelling to Rome from the North. The hotel is also strategically located as it is near the Main Florence Rome Motorway the A1. If you are arriving from the city centre we suggest you take a taxi or a Cotral Bus from Piazza Fiume which is located at the start of Via Salaria.
By train: Rome's main railway station and located in the heart of the city centre is Termini. Termini is only a 20 minute taxi journey away. from the Hotel Romulus. The Eurostar train to Rome coming from the North runs parallel to the Via Salaria and actually passes our Hotel. The closest railway station is Tiburtina but unfortunately only some Inter City Trains stop here. All express trains and Eurostars arriving from Florence, Milan, Naples and Italy's main cities stop at Termini so the city center is ideal for anybody travelling by train. You can also take the bus no. 135 from the Tiburtina Train Station, the bus stop is only 3 minutes farway walking distance.
By airplane, from Ciampino Airport: A courtesy bus from Ciampino will drop you off in the city centre in Via Marsala right next to the main railway station Termini. Hotel Romulus is a 20-minute taxi journey away from the station, but be careful not to take any of the unofficial taxis outside Termini as they will almost certainly overcharge you!
By airplane, from Fiumicino - Leonardo Da Vinci Airport: Take the airport shuttle train to Termini and then get a taxi - be careful not to take any of the unofficial taxis outside Termini as they will almost certainly overcharge you!

I would only recommend this hotel to people on a tight budget. there were a few unhappy looking couples about. restaurant very poor, more catered for a hostel. location poor for centre but fine for work meeting in that road. very basic accommodation and would not return.29 Jun 09
The staff was friendly and informativeThe sheets were not changed and we stayed 4 nights and it was expensive to get to the airport by cab14 Oct 08
Hotel was clean and staff friendly. room was comfortable and clean.Restaurant did not offer a lot of choice, most items on menu were not available - were given limited choice but what we did order was very good. hotel location not bad - about 20 mins from centre of rome by bus but would be difficult to find if you did not have a car and sat. nav. system.03 Oct 08
Clean hotel and friendly staffHotel far from town centre and awkward to get to. website states fidene train station opposite but this is not true, it is 5 kilometres away. staff were confused when i asked for directions to station. nice hotel but better for business travellers/people with own transport.13 Sep 08
Helpful staffLack of menu choice for evening dinner08 Sep 08

Very good10 Jun 08
This was a lovely hotel, full of very helpful people. they rooms were charming and well proportioned, with good amenities. the food was phenominal!It was a little far out of the tourist areas and we were tourists. it was exspensive to take a taxi to town and the roads around it did not facilitate walking places.30 May 08
They were lovely as were the rooms. it was a little far removed from any tourist areas and was in the center of industrial warehouses (even though there were chickens in the rear courtyard.Just that it was so far removed it was costly to go anywhere28 May 08
The food in the restaurant was disappointing. we only ate there on one occasion because of this.25 May 08

The staff were all very friendly and the hotel was of a good clean standard and the resturant food was excellent at reasonably priced18 May 08
Quite friendly english speaking staff. good evening meals, reasonably priced for rome.Small double bedroom with poor quality, small shower facility. positioned on dual carriageway. need to catch bus then tube to get to city centre - this can take up to 1 hour. the area is used by prostitutes to pick up passing motorists - some guests would find this offensive. the hotel make a lot of the garden on their website but the grass was uncut and the chairs dirty so it was unusable despite visiting in mid may.18 May 08

None!Hotel staff were not helpful with maps or giving basic information such as having to buy bus tickets prior to boarding. after waiting 20 min for a bus we realised we needed a ticket first so went back to the hotel to buy a ticket and they had not ordered any so had run out! we were then stranded 40 min away from the centre of rome with only option to either board bus with no ticket and run the risk of being caught or pay for a taxi which was 25 euros.
location is too far away, about 40 minutes and that is a bus and a train to get into rome centre.
we only stayed 1 night and then found a hotel in the centre of rome for nearly the same amount.25 Apr 08
I thought that the range for breakfast was awfull and so dissapointing i never bothered having any. a waste of money!!
also there were prostitutes hanging around outside the hotel day and night not a good look especially if you have children!!
