    Area is popular and we were booked there on a Saturday so the noise was a bother

    Staff were very helpful when asked questions. Can’t comment on breakfast as we left early did use the airport shuttle on the way out…on the way in we were late for the shuttle and securing a taxi was a problem due to regional taxi areas. Was nice to walk the promenade and look at the ocean

    Decent place, nice location by the beach/restaurant, staff great, breakfast great, room adequate.

    Basic quality mattress and pillows, The bed blanket was a thermal material which was too warm for the season (late April) and generally does not present a good 'clean look' in a hotel. Room was 'compact' but probably expected given the location. Just an observation...the hotel front at ground level is essentially the entry doors as the building front is shared with an adjacent restaurant seating area. This is fine but may not be intuitive to some guests searching for a hotel building front. The entrance was labeled and our taxi drive dropped us at the door so was not an issue, just found it a bit unusual for a hotel in a non-historic area of Rome.

    Nice location in proximity to the beach (across the road) and the staff were very helpful, even scheduled a taxi for us for the morning and informed us when it arrived. Very nice breakfast selection and service attendant. The room was clean overall and had a nice balcony (side of building) with vented powered shutters to let in some cooler night air (note: the AC did work to cool down the room initially). There was a small 'no parking' area in front of the hotel entry doors so the taxi driver was able to briefly stop there to unload us right at the front door. The staff accommodated an unexpected late check-in around 21:00 (9:00pm).

    It was very small, next to McDonald. It doesn't look like a hotel but a store. The room is very tiny and bed not long enough for my 6 feet tall boy.

    It claimed to be very close to the airport, which was why we chose it. So far away from downtown, and we sat on a bus for a long time and walk quite a distance after the bus. Really not convenient if you come from downtown.

    It's right in front of the pier, which is one of the few areas where you can actually see the sea. There are a bunch of nice restaurants and shops nearby. The staff at the reception and breakfast area were all very pleasant to talk to. Good choices at breakfast. It's a little far from the train station but it's a few bus stops from Ostia Antica.

    The only thing that I didn't like was the very strong air freshener that they use in the rooms. The smell was overpowering for an asthmatic like me. Otherwise, we didn't have other problems.

    Hotel La Scalla's location is perfect. One gets to enjoy the beautiful sunset as the sea is a few steps away from the hotel. The reception desk is managed by a professional staff. They do not have a parking lot but one can find parking somehow along the street. We went in late November though which means that there were fewer tourists thus we managed to find parking. It could well be a different story in peak summer months.

    Spent two nights, perfect location for a great price. Very responsive staff, 24/7 desk, check in/check out quickly, without a hitch. Daily cleaning, very clean, snow white and soft towels, nice bath accessories. Upon entering the room, there was a welcome bottle of water, a small snack, the room has a mini fridge, TV, heater, hair dryer. Sand beach - across the street, many cafes, shops, restaurants around. There is a city bus to the airport, once a hour (1.50 eur), the station is a 15-minute walk away. Definitely recommend!

    In general all hotels and hostels are a bit worn down. In Italy ( alike in other countries in the south). But that counts for all forms of "rooms". Well maybe not 5 stars hotels. I have no idea. The price level in Rome is higher.

    A good breakfast. Close or next to the beach Safety Professional staff. A place that l will Maybe visit again.

    Nice motel near the airport, Ostia ruins, and train station. Beds are comfy and food choices around the neighborhood are good. I used this as a motel to decompress after a long international flight that arrived around midnight. 50 Euro cab from FCO and the Ostia train will take you into Rome when you're ready to continue your travels.

    The breakfast is very good. Stephano at the front desk is very helpful. I was able to check in to get some rest before check in time. He has arranged a private transfer to the cruise port for me. The hotel is closed to a town square that have a lot of restaurants and pastries shops.

    Room was smaller than expected and one window would not close. After booking the room, noticed much cheaper rates on another site and felt we paid double what the room was worth.

    The Breakfast and service there was the most memorable part of our stay. Offered cappuccino and soya option for my dairy allergy. Room was clean, and bed comfortable. Reception offered transportation options and directions.
