This hotel is actually not located in the city of Rome rather in Ostia which is very close to the airport. The airport is large and lacks character but we were not there for the ambiance. Seems they have flight crews and people who missed flights. There is a regular shuttle to Fiumicino Airport which makes this hotel a good choice for an early flight. We had an early flight out of Rome and did not want to take any chances missing it. The breakfast is very big with all kinds of pastries and breads along with warm selections. The surroundings are unexciting but there are a few restaurants and ice cream places in the area if you have some to spend.

We stayed here only one night, but one night is more than enough.

At first glance, the lobby appears fine.

We got up to our rooms (2) and neither had air conditioning and both stank (apparently they sprayed for bugs).

There was black mold on the walls, the carpets were buckled and worn and the walls will worn.

They sent maintenance up regarding the no air - later we were told it was because the filters needing changing - HOW DIRTY they must be been to block all the air conditionings.

Friends down the hall had more black mold and better still - blood on the sheets.
The front desk told them they would have to look into it before giving them a new room. After raising a stink they RELUCTANTLY gave them a new room.

The towels INCLUDING the large bath "towel" is actually the exact material as a tea towel.

This may have been a 4 star when it opened, but it is definitely not now - it is dirty dirty dirty!

For 170 Euros a night for a 4 Star Hotel, I expected a little more: like clean carpet, air conditioning that worked, and lighting that actually lit up the room. From the looks of the lobby, I was anticipating a great stay! Marble floors, clean & well kept. But our room on the 1st floor was horrible! Could not caution you enough to stay away!

We too were sent to our doom by Alitalia after missing our connecting flight.After struggling to find the shuttle bus we were forced to pay 22 euros to be taken to this dump.After being advised we were not going to be offered breakfast we decided it was best to take advantage of the dinner being offered.All we can say is that a rat would turn up his nose at the sight of what was on offer and we quickly retreated back to our filthy room with a bread roll each that was so hard you could use it as a bowling ball.Fearing for what we would find under the bedsheets the only option was to sleep on a towel,if thats what you could call it,more like a paper napkin.
For all those poor souls yet to miss their flight with Alitalia who will be taken here,we say a prayer for you now.
