Lonely Planet Review

Quotes For Rome, this friendly, family-run place offers great value. An unassuming two-star, it has well-appointed rooms decorated in pastel tones and plush blue fabrics, for which you could easily pay more. The mosaic-tiled bathrooms are small but manage to fit everything in, including, in the deluxe doubles, a shower with hydromassage.

People visiting Rome for the first time are often surprised to find several hotels housed in the same block. Rest assured, this is absolutely normal here. The Gabriella is just such a place, on the 1st floor of a towering palazzo, five minutes' walk northeast of Termini. In many ways it's quite unexceptional - rooms vary in size, but tend to be small; air-conditioning is limited to the summer; and the continental breakfast, good by Roman standards, hardly compares to a British fry-up. That said, it's a bright and cheery place, rooms are clean, quiet (if you don't open the windows) and safe (security is assured by the swipe-card locks). There's also a pleasant breakfast/bar area, a reading room with sofas and satellite TV, and the staff are amiable and helpful.

How To Get There

To arrive at Stargate Hotels reception, Via Palestro 88, for Anakin check-in: Getting to the hotel from: 1) Termini train station: when you arrive by train, you arrive in a westward direction; with the train at your back you should walk to your right (in the direction of descending platform numbers), and take the first opening to the street. This is the north exit. Make sure that you're on Via Marsala (Marsala street); From there just walk four short blocks up the street directly ahead of you, Via Marghera. When you hit Via Palestro, take a right until number 88. Our sign's hanging outside. 2) Ciampino Airport: the Terravision bus arrives at Via Marsala, parallel to Termini station; in one direction, there's some wonderful old ruins and the station carpark; in the other, a huge creamy- white building, Termini. You want to walk towards that big building. Take Via Marghera when it comes up on your left (all the connecting streets should be on your left side). The rest is as above. 3) Fiumicino Airport: The Leonardo Express departs every 30 minutes from the airport, and arrives at Termini Station on Binario (Platform) 21 or 22, tucked way back up in the corner; walk back into the station. When you get to where the other trains are parked, turn right (platform numbers should descend in that direction). Take the big opening at the far end of the station. You should find yourself on Via Marsala. The rest is as above. 4) If you arrive at any other station, airport or by any other transport, you first need to get to Termini station. Go inside the station and walk in the direction of descending platform numbers to the north exit, take the above directions. Maps are available everywhere, including inside the station tourist office and on the internet.

L'albergo è situato a 200 metri dalla stazione Termini. Dall'aeroporto c'è un treno diretto per la stazione ogni mezz'ora, dalle 7 della mattina alle 10 di sera. Siamo convenzionati con un garage ,al costo di circa 25/30 euro per giorno.

Author Tip

Head down to Termini and jump on the metro to San Giovanni (three stops away) and admire the sheer scale of the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. Whilst in the neighbourhood, check out the Scala Santa, the stairs that Jesus is said to have walked up to Pontius Pilate's palace in Jerusalem.
