Bottom Line

JC Hotel is an upper-mid-range, 12-room boutique property located in the countryside of Laurentina, on the southern outskirts of Rome, a quarter of a mile off the GRA Ring Road. The rooms are boldly designed and colorful, and come with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Some have their own entrances, but industrial buildings surround the property, and there are no views. Be aware that peekaboo bathrooms don't offer much privacy. There is practically nothing within walking distance of the hotel, and it's best to have a car (the hotel offers free parking). The hotel is on a multiple-line bus route that goes to the Laurentina metro station, which links to Termini station, the hub of the Rome metro, in 11 stops.

Oyster Hotel Review

JC Contemporary Hotel

Scene

Contemporary with white and purple color scheme; business travelers are the main clientele

The JC Hotel looks like a club resort. Outside, cars line the parking lot. Inside, wicker chairs and lounge umbrellas offer guests a pleasant retreat. Past the parking lot and the outdoor lounge is the hotel’s main entrance, where the reception desk sits. The general area resembles a well-decorated private residence, with sculptures, decorative branches, and a large stuffed teddy bear accenting the open bright white space.

Location

Outside the city center, not far from the airports, with links to public transportation

The hotel is located on the southern outskirts of Rome in an industrial area about a quarter mile off the GRA Ring Road. The area is served by multiple bus lines that go to the Laurentina metro station, from where guests can reach the city center in about 30- to-45 minutes. Historical sights such as the the Baths of Caracalla, Basilica di San Giovanni, Parco della Caffarella, Arch of Constantine, and Circus Maximus are within a 20-minute drive north. The hotel is about a 20-minute drive from both Ciampino and Fiumicino Airports, and the hotel can arrange airport transfers. Parking on-site is free.
