we stayed here for 2 nights with our 10yr old we had been to Tuscany and wanted a couple of days in Rome. Its brilliant for the airport and shuttle bus thats it! The room was functional but the bathroom a disaster the shower sprayed everywhere and when we complained we were offered another room which at 10.30 at night having unpacked was totally impractical. We were told a plumber would arrive the next morning when we attempted to use it again that evenng it had not been fixed so we got the use of another room. On the first morning we arrived for bgreakfast at 9.30am to find the food practically finished we had a choice of bread tinned fruit cornflakes and cold coffee even though it was served till 10am. We were made to feel totally unwelcome as the staff were obviously finishing up.On the second morning we arrived at 9am to a very different experience with a proper breakfast!. Dinner in the resturant was very nice with good staff and service. The elderly gent who does the morning shift on the shuttle bus is a gentleman very pleasant and helpful. It takes a good 45 mins to get into Rome from here as you also have to take the metro and the station is not a place you want to be at night! The hotel receptionist was very abrupt and unhelpful.

As it is a good location for stopping after a late arrival in Rome or the night before a morning flight, we stay here regularly. There are several good restaurants nearby if you know the district but otherwise, just eat in the hotel. The rooms are clean, basic and comfortable and the price is good.
We stay here often as our house is in Maratea but flights to Rome from Edinburgh are cheaper than Naples.
Will be back on our way back next week

Like others we had selected this hotel only for an early flight. Although it is so close to Exit 23 from the autostrada, even when you get the right road in to Ciampino, the hotel is invisible from the road. We only found it by pulling in to the Airport Parking Compound. Prewarned I had emailed the hotel to ask for an ungrade to the superior room and had a confirmation. On arrival the receptionist was curt and would not read the email. However she did acknowledge it later when I queried it and moved us to a better room, 110, upgraded and not too near the doors. The following morning, reception was very pleasant, we were also given a discount on the price quoted in the email. It looks like they have upgraded rooms 1-150. I would not stay at this motel type for any other reason than proximity to the airport for an early flight, but for this purpose it proved adequate. The restaurant was fine. The shower was a bit dodgy. For those looking for it, take exit 23, head straight away for Ciampino centro, tunnel, scruffy road pass derelict AGIP garage on left. Turn in to Airport Parking compound on right. Hotel is single storey to the right, well hidden! When heading to the airport you have to initially follow the Fiumincino sign! then aeroporti to drop again on to via appia. Easy once you know how!

This is a great hotel to stay in if you need to stay close to Ciampino airport.
It is a 5 minute drive from the hotel to Ciampino airport.
The rooms were large, very clean, beds a bit hard (but that seems to be the norm in Italy)
The evening meal in the restaurant was well above avarage, highly recommended! The waiters were very friendly and helpful and had a great sense of humour.
The staff on reception were also very welcoming, pleasant and helpful.
Also everyone spoke English!
Will definately stay there again, an all round great hotel.

We stayed here because of an early flight out of Ciampino airport. This hotel is very close to the airport, so close, that you could literally walk to the runway. It is not in a nice location, nothing is nearby and is more like a motel than a 3 star hotel, that was rated by venere.com.

The front desk staff were not very helpful. For staff working in Ciampino, you would think they would know how to get to the train station and give you directions when driving by car. Instead, they were pushing you to use their shuttle service, which is provided for a fee. And does not have a schedule.

The rooms are very outdated and would be equivalent to a 1star motel in Canada. There was only a very thin bed sheet between yourself and the mattress, and you can see the colour of the mattress coming through. The room smelled of bleach and cigarettes. The shower floor was dirty.

I would not recommend this hotel, unless you just need a place to sleep to catch an early flight. We paid 85 euros for one night, in my opinion, it should only cost 50 euros or less a night. Do not stay here, if you're considering this as your homebase for visiting Rome. It is not conveniently located and you will need to take their shuttle service or taxi to the train station. The taxi ride should be less than 10 euros, we had a car, but had to pay for parking in Ciampino centre (.70/hr). If you are taking the train from Ciampino to Rome, time is 15 minutes.
