My Advice

B&B Aurum House is located 17 Goito Street, near Termini station. But it is hard to be found because only name plate is displayed on the wall of the building as shown in above photos. And hotel guests doesn't always check in any time. In fact, nobody answered against pressing the buzzer when I went to there. It is advisable to inform your arrival time or make a call the hotel at the station.

Frankfurt game off after Madonna concert
(September 12, 2008 CNN)

(CNN) -- Madonna's midweek concert at Eintracht Frankfurt's Commerzbank-Arena stadium has had unfortunate consequences for the club, who have been forced to postpone Friday night's Bundesliga fixture at home to Karlsruhe because of damage to the pitch caused by concertgoers.
The German Football League said that the grass was too badly damaged to allow the match to go ahead.
Stadium officials replaced part of the turf after Tuesday's concert but there still remained too many irregularities, leaving it unplayable, said the League.
After inspecting the pitch, DFL head Holger Hieronymus decided that the "physical safety of the players could not be assured".
The match will be rescheduled.

My Advice

The Sitbus Shuttle (Rome airport Ciampino Bus Shuttle Service) bus stop at Termini station is located opposite Hotel Royal Santina in Via Marsala. The ticket can be bought from ticket points as shown by the web, 360 Travel Agent at Termini station and also conductor.

These were who wait in the line of budget flights at Rome Ciampino Airport. I also got in the line of 20, which it was boarding gate of my flight. But it was wrong one. Actually my flight had taken off the airport one hour before, I missed flight. I took wrong departure time though I already checked in and received boarding pass. I had a breakfast and fell asleep in the airport about one hour, I played the nanny goat.
After that, I hopped between booking offices in Rome, including internet cafes. Finally, I got a flight ticket for Germany at airberlin's office in Fiumicino airport. I lost totally 320 euro and half a day.
