I believe the taxi rate is still fixed at €40 but you can get a car
and driver to meet you at Arrivals for €40 & €45 which is the better
option.

I have used both companies in the past.

The Airport-Termini Train and then a taxi will likely be €35 ±.

The Airport-Termini Train and then a taxi
will likely be €35 ±.

I haven't checked the train price in a long time, it's now €14.
You said "our hotel" so if 2 persons it would be €28, the taxi
charges ~€1 per suitcase so it would be €40 at least, more if the
driver takes the scenic route.

Cheers,

There are 2 adults and one child. The hotel has told us to take the train
and the a bus so that's what we will do i think.

Your choice of course, but I strongly recommend against it. With three
fares on the train and bus, you will save very little over the cost of
a taxi or van. And I don't know the bus routes very well, but as far
as I know you won't find it easy to get from the train station to the
Pantheon by bus. You'll end up doing some walking too. And the bus
will be crowded (especially for you with your luggage) and waiting for
the bus will take time.

And informed the hotel you as well, that luggage in public transport
(underground, busses) will be charged with a normal ticket for the
suitcase?
So, three persons on the train is around 45,00 EUR + 2 persons on the
bus 3 EUR + 2 (?) suitcases makes 50 EUR.
It seems that the hotel is in the area where a special taxi fare is
charged and the fare is EUR 45,00 (but you have to lok that the taxi
is a rome one, the taxi fare for the taxis from Fiumicino, which is
the city where the airport of Rome is located, is higher.

If you understand some german have a look he

That sounds like bad advice unless they also gave very detailed
instructions, especially as to the locations of the bus-stops,
route-numbers, ticket offices, and exact details of where to disembark, and
then how to get to the hotel from there.

Even so, plenty of opportunity to get lost, accosted by beggars, get on the
wrong bus, and so on (I assume you go through Termini).

And it's a hell of long, up and down walk from FCO arrivals to the train
station.

Forget the cost, just take a taxi. Especially if arriving late.

It's your call.
Just assuming the child is too young to require a ticket for the train
and bus it will cost 2 adults €30 to take that route.

But for 10 more euro you get a private car and driver with 'door to
door' service.

p.s. If you don't mind saying what hotel are you staying at?

The train is easy but the bus might be confusing unless you've ridden a bus
in Rome before. I tend to agree with the others, get a shuttle that will
meet you at the door with a sign with your name. Least hassle, door to door,
fixed price, no worries about luggage. Have a great trip!

Your right my son is 9 so didn't have to pay.

We took the train and bus in the end both ways. No problems of any sort in
either direction

We stayed in the Hotel Abruzzi it was very nice and perfectly positioned.
Good price for where it is.
