ibis Roma Fiera

For a short stay; 1 or 2 days; the hotel and location is good. Unfortunately any kind of shopping requires long bus or train rides. A taxi would be a option. Otherwise there are a few restaurants and a small grocery right around the hotel. There is also a pharmacy. The area around the hotel is rather filthy with garbage all about.

Ibis Roma Fiera is close to the airport but a bit far from central Rome station Roma Termini, requiring multiple trains or mix of bus and subway to commute successfully. Booking through expedia saved a lot of money as hotels near Roma Termini station and city center were two to three times the cost. Cost aside, the stay experience was dynamic mainly because of the staff. They were exceptional, engaged, pleasant, accommodating and had such positive energy and vibe, particularly Andre and his co assistants whose names I didn't easily remember unfortunately. We had to change rooms due to ongoing renovations and Andre was extremely apologetic for the inconvenience and offered multiple complimentary beverages and asked what else he could do to make our stay enjoyable. We also connected on a higher, people, relationships and spiritual level. Most staff spoke English and were receptive to my attempts to speak basic Italian. The Breakfast Buffet was very good and affordable (9.5 euros) with so many options, and tasty Italian cakes . I would share pictures if that was allowable. Dinner required reservations and also included tasty generous portions of pasta. If you do not mind commuting to city center, then this is an outstanding choice for a stay in Rome!

It was a great price and close to the airport as we had an early morning flight out of Rome and wanted to be close ot the airport the night before.
