Although it is not far from the city center, public transport would not help if you are short of time. Bus-stop is about 5 minutes walk but you may have to wait 20-30 minutes for the bus (There is no schedule posted.) and a trip to near city center takes about 45 minutes! I found it quicker if one takes Metro. But it takes not less than 20 minuted walk to the metro station called Basilica San Paolo, and metro takes about 15 minutes to get to the central station called Termini. I did not get much useful information from the hotel service desk about transport. Impression I got made me uncomfortable to ask for information. They are too busy to be friendly. Breakfast is average not much variety. It is a shame that in a country with hundreds of different sorts of cheese, you only get four kinds of usual household sorts! The room has a comfortable bed, nice and clean bathroom with clean towels. Widescreen tv set gets many different channels in Italian, English, Russian, Chinese and Spanish. Since the hotel is near Ciampino airport (Look up in the map!) , it is worth and advisable to take a taxi from and to the airport. Otherwise you have to spend at least two hours by airport shuttle to Termini and then by bus No. 714 to the bus-stop Colombo-Rufino about 20 minutes walk to the hotel. The hotel offers private taxi from the hotel to the Ciampino airport at 45 Euros. But I don't know if you can get the same from the airport to the hotel. Call them.
