But, it's actually an easily accessible backwater from central Rome. About 30 minutes walk and metro to the Colosseum for example. Would be little more to and from Termini main station.The walk to the hotel is about 10 minutes with a modest number of steps up from the metro. Being in a backwater makes the Congressi economical ... and quiet, unlike most central Rome hotels. I discovered the Congressi when visiting my company's office not far away, and returned for a cheap holiday mainly because I do very much like the restaurant, La Glorietta. Roman and other Italian staples done perfectly; a decently wide-ranging wine list, modestly priced enough to order a whole bottle even if one doesn't drink it all; attentive service; and a warm atmosphere. The EUR district is appealingly but not excessively run down, its triumphal architecture still handsome, yet with a domestic feel. And indeed, this dream suburb conceived by Mussolini has matured into an understandably quite popular place to live for middle income people. Feels very safe - all you see are ordinary local citizens going about their business. Rooms are fine, fairly modern, with small but well decorated bathrooms or shower rooms.
