Hotel Il Quadrifoglio, a quiet stay near Rome's Ring Road
Hotel Il Quadrifoglio is a three-star hotel in Rome, in the EUR and Mostacciano area, near the Grande Raccordo Anulare. It has soundproofed rooms, a buffet breakfast and a small car park. I recommend it for those travelling by car or with medical appointments in the area, not for those looking for the centre.

Where Hotel Il Quadrifoglio is and how to get there
Hotel Il Quadrifoglio is in Rome, on Via di Valleranello, in the area guests call Mostacciano and that the listing associates with the EUR district. It suits people travelling by car, close to the Grande Raccordo Anulare, rather than those who want to wake up among the monuments.
More than one guest mentions the bus stop right outside the hotel. According to the reviews, the 706 goes to EUR Fermi, where you take the blue metro line to Termini. One guest says a shuttle to the metro would be perfect, which suggests the connection exists but involves a change.
The listing points out the Campus Bio-Medico and the Regina Elena Hospital nearby, as well as the Designer Outlet at Castel Romano and both airports, all about 15 minutes away by car. One guest, however, puts the Regina Elena at around two kilometres, so check the map if you need the exact distance.
What the rooms are like
The rooms are simple but well equipped, in a classic style with tiled floors. The listing mentions soundproofed rooms with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and satellite TV, and some guests confirm they slept well.
There are also extra-large rooms and some rooms with a separate entrance near the car park. One guest was put in an annexe a few metres away, behind a vehicle gate, on a quiet road with greenery. Another had a very large double room used as a single, with an adjustable heat pump, and a third describes clean, quiet suites despite being close to the Pontina.
The shared area has a marble lounge. The private car park is small, with limited spaces, but the listing also mentions free car parks nearby.
What guests say
On Google the hotel has 3.8 out of 5 from over five hundred reviews. The average hides very polarised opinions, so it is worth reading both sides.
What guests like
- The staff. Many describe them as polite, helpful and attentive to requests.
- The breakfast. Several guests enjoy the buffet, with pastries, sweets and savoury options, and the coffee.
- Cleanliness and quiet. Rooms cleaned every day and little noise, even with the main road nearby.
- Value for money. Mentioned several times, along with the convenient car park and the welcome for pets.
What disappoints
The worst reviews are few but heavy. Some guests describe old, neglected rooms, bathrooms in poor condition and mould. One person found the bathroom unheated in December and was given a small heater. On breakfast and shared areas, some point to dirty tables, missing cutlery and sweets in not very clean containers, and one guest did not like having to pay at check-in.
What to know before booking
Opinions here are really divided, and for me this is the most important section. Here is what works and what might bother you.
| What works | Worth knowing |
|---|---|
| Bus stop right outside the hotel | The metro needs a change, no shuttle |
| Private car park and separate annexe | Limited spaces in the car park |
| Buffet breakfast liked by many | Complaints about the cleanliness of tables and crockery |
| Clean and quiet rooms for many guests | For others they are old, with poor bathrooms |
The harshest reviews are about a year old or less. If you can, write to the hotel to ask which room you will be given and whether the heating works in the colder months.
Who Hotel Il Quadrifoglio suits
I would choose it for people who arrive by car, work in the area or have a medical appointment nearby, and want a simple bed with parking and breakfast. It also works for travellers with a pet, since several guests mention this.
I would not recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in the centre or expects an immaculate hotel, because there are complaints about maintenance. If you are looking at other options in Lazio, also see Domus Maggiore in Rome, the Guest House Il Faraone in Isola Sacra or Casetta Gaia in Latina.
What to do nearby
The area is more practical than touristy. The EUR district is nearby according to the listing, and the Designer Outlet at Castel Romano is reachable by car.
For the centre of Rome, guests suggest taking the bus to EUR Fermi, then the blue metro towards Termini. Allow time for the change.
