The Pinewood Hotel is located on Via della Pineta Sacchetti in the Vatican district. A great location if you intend to spend time exploring the Vatican City and all it has to offer.

It's the perfect choice for those who prefer to be away from the chaotic city centre. The hotel is situated beside a green park in a residential area, which is well connected to the rest of the city by public transport.

By train: The main train and metro station in Rome is Termini. To get from here to the hotel, catch the underground Line A (direction of Battistini) and get off at Cornelia Metro Station. This is the nearest metro station to the hotel. When in Cornelia Metro Station, look for an exit called 'Boccea' and then continue in the direction of Via della Pineta Sacchetti. It's about a good 15 minute walk to the hotel along this street. You know you're coming close to the hotel when you see the pine trees on the right hand side of the street. The Pinewood Hotel is located on your left hand side about 100m from the road.

If you have luggage you can catch buses number 49 - 446 - 994 from Via Tardini (outside the metro station), which will drop you off in front of the hotel after two stops.

The main airport in Rome is called Fiumicino and it's about 25km from the hotel.
