I choose this hotel for our last night in Rome before flying back the next AM. It is close to the airport and it is on the ocean so I thought it would be a perfect choice. First a note: To get to the Airport you have to take a Taxi which costs between $28 and $40 euro...so you have... more

We staid at Aran Blu Hotel our last night in Italy before taking a morning flight to US. We thought it would be nice to spend last night on the beach and close to the airport. We were wrong. This town is a DUMP! While we were driving around searching for our hotel we were horrified! It is an extremely... more

Modern hotel, located right on the beach front and only 20 minutes from the airport. Nice sized rooms are tastfully furnished, with very comfortable bed, room safe and great bathroom. Excellent breakfast and very nice staff. No extra charge for parking. Only negative is the lack of a restaurant in the hotel. However, there are a number of good restaurants... more

My boyfriend and i stayed at the Aran Blu hotel in the last week of june 2007. We were assuming the hotel would be just as lovely as it was on its website but after reading all of the awful reviews we became really worried about our visit there and how bad the hotel would be. However to our suprise,... more

This is not a 4 star hotel despite its claims. In itself the hotel is fine, clean and contemporary. Rooms are comfortable, and the seaview is worth paying for should you stay here. Leaving the patio door open allowed the noise of the lapping sea into the room, very soothing. Breakfast - how dare they charge 180 eur/night and serve... more

We were promised a seaview room when I booked it, but was told by hotel staff that if I wanted a view it would be an additional 100 Euro's. After having been ripped off by a taxi driver on the way there- I declined and kept the room with the view of the apartments in touching distance. Also, there is... more

I stayed at the Aran Blu for two nights, since I was only in Rome for 2 days (site visit for upcoming conference). I usually stay in the conference hotel but since it was my first trip outside the US in 15 years and I had a 7 a.m. flight out the next morning, I opted to stay at the... more

We stayed at the hotel from 13/8/6 to 18/8/6 This is a new crisp and stylish hotel with loads of potential. It is adjacent to the newly built marina and about a mile away from the central area of lido de Ostia. Once the beach area is complete (the promenade planting and lighting isn't quite finished) this will benefit from... more

I do agree that this is not a 4 star hotel, but interestingly we saw some literature in reception that only gave it 3, which is about right. The room was on the small side but clean and nice decor - the bathroom was spotless and the room fresh and airy. We didn't make breakfast as we found it wasn't... more
