HAMPTON BY HILTON ROME EAST, Rome

The hotel sits at the exit of the Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA), about 16 km from the Colosseum area. The nearest metro station is Anagnina (line A), a 10-15 minute taxi ride costing €15-€20. From there, a 25-30 minute metro ride reaches the Spanish Steps or Vatican City (ticket €1.50, valid 100 minutes). Roma Termini station is a 20-25 minute drive away; Fiumicino Airport is about 30 minutes by car. Roma Est Shopping Centre is within 10 minutes' drive, and the property is surrounded by green fields with a Roman aqueduct ruin nearby. The location is car-dependent: public transport is not within walking distance and taxis are the primary option for reaching the city centre or metro.

Each room offers a double bed (often noted as 1.50 m wide), a walk-in shower with free toiletries and hairdryer, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and ironing facilities. Rooms do not have balconies, private bathrooms are in-room (ensuite), and there is no refrigerator. Some rooms have connecting doors, suitable for families. Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, though some are compact. Upper floors and rooms away from the road tend to be quieter. The property also offers accessible rooms with wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, grab rails, and an emergency cord. A safety deposit box is available free of charge.

The on-site restaurant serves international cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a menu that includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. A bar, snack bar, and packed lunches are available. The breakfast buffet includes hot and cold items, bread, pastries, fruit, cereal, yoghurt, and hot drinks from a machine. Dinner offers a limited but tasty menu; pizza is specifically praised. For additional variety, Roma Est Shopping Centre (5 minutes on foot) offers several dining options. The restaurant does not serve room service.

The fitness centre is open daily from 06:30 to 21:30, offering free access for light cardio and light weights.

An ancient Roman wall is located behind the pool area and is worth seeing.
