You think a sleep in of sorts would mean that you felt better when you woke up in the morning. Wasn't the case today. We dragged ourselves out of bed 7.30am, breakfast at 8.15 and on the bus by 9am. Everyone was a bit tired, including Calvin, and it was a quiet morning on the bus as I slept with my headphones on, Dan watched Prison Break and everyone else did the same-sleep or chill out. We were heading to Rome via Orrvieto (Vicky Christina Barcelona if anyone has seen it) a town with a large...

We were told that today was a biiiiiig day, yes, we got up very early and left for the sights at 7.45am. That in itself was a challenge but we achieved it well. We were all prompt on the bus, with sensible walking shoes insitu and ferried to the Colesseum. We met with our slightly ecentric guide, Nicoletta and started walking around the Colesseum...to look at the Arch of Constantine- the large one, the Arch of Titus- the small arch and to peer at the Forum remains and Vestal Virgins palace. ...

Day 5, TTEE 2008. Venice (Marghera) - Rome (2) Goodbye Venice. Here we are back on the bus. We have been rotating seats, on the left behind the driver you go 2 seats forward, and on the right you go 2 rows back. This is so that everyone gets a different seat and there is no fighting and arguing. Today I am in the front seat, sitting directly behind Luke our wonderful Belgium driver. So I get a wonderful view as we head down to Roma. I also have to introduce myself over the microphone today in...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Aran Park Hotel Rome
Great hotel but not for tourists
The hotel is convenient for the EUR district of Rome, which is a short taxi journey away. The check-in was smooth and curteous needing only a passport and no credit card swiping.
The room was on the large side with balcony (looking out on nothing in particular). There was a shower and bath in a very clean bathroom.
The bar area was on the strangely characterless side and is best described as "functional", although the spicy nibbles provided were surprisingly tasty!
The restaurant was on the 7th floor and we didn't use it apart from breakfast.
The only small problem came at check-out when I was presented with a bill that should already have been paid. A colleague was to have done this, but I got to the reception before they had a chance to do so. My problem, not the hotels - but even though I explained that it would be resolved within 5 minutes as my colleague was just arriving, I received a rather frosty response and was told in no certain terms to "sort it out".
I will be re-visiting this area on business in the new year and will ask that I be booked into this hotel again.
Una mala ubicación, un buen hotel
Un hotel muy bueno
Sehr gutes Hotel
Schlechte Lage, nettes Hotel
Der einzige Nachteil des Hotels ist die Lage, es ist unmöglich, hier ohne einen Mietwagen zu bleiben oder Unsummen für Taxen auszugeben.
Nice hotel, horrible location
Honestly, the hotel itself is very nice and the room was not too bad. We just needed a place to hold our stuff and it fit that mold.
Unfortunately, the staff didn't seem very helpful when we first showed up. We soon discovered it was because Mecenate Palace booked us for the WRONG day. It was clear things were not getting off to a good start.
Getting to this hotel was a pain in the butt (to say the least). We took the Metro to Laurentina station and followed the directions from Aran Park's website. After searching and asking numerous rude people at the station, we finally located the bus stop about a mile from the Metro stop. Then we waited.. and waited.. until the 762 bus showed up. The bus driver wouldn't help us but luckily a couple of tourists realized we were looking for the hotel and told us where to get off the bus.
So, after getting off the bus we had to drag our luggage up hill for another half mile to get to the hotel (luckily there were signs).
Anyhow, let me just sum it up by saying that this hotel would probably be more highly rated if it weren't in the middle of nowhere. The food was also overpriced and not very good. In a pinch, this hotel will serve the purpose.. but I wouldn't go unless forced.
Bad Location, Nice hotel
The main detractor of this hotel was it's location, it's impossible to stay here without a hire care or paying a fortune in taxi's.
Very good hotel
Quiet location, spacious rooms, and very close to the EUR zone in Rome
Friendly and professional staff, and great art affect in the lobby and at the entrance of the hotel...
Stayed for 3 nights on a business trip, and find it very convenient, the only problem is internet in the rooms....
