Staff was exceptionally welcoming

Parking was challenging. Our car was broken into within 10 minutes of arriving. Rooms were dated.

the location

There was water on the floor from a leaking air conditioner. We were given another room, there was also water on the floor, but not as much. balcony and room were poorly maintained In

location and set up

Location right across the street, staff was very kind and helpful especially Phoebe and Julia! Room and courtyard were very comfortable with a fantastic air conditioner.

Mosquitoes but that isn’t hotels fault.

Comfortable stay, great location

Location is fantastic !

Old . Needs to be renovated

First: I will start with the positive: many thanks to Francesco at the reception! He really made my stay way less bad than it would’ve otherwise been. He deserves a raise! Very kind man, warm smile and so helpful. Good location, very central if you want to be in Ostia. Surrounded by the market and tons of food and gelato options! Breakfast was alright, same every day but with a good variety, albeit sometimes stale. Good coffee too. Daily cleaning is good, but the room needed deep cleaning. Check out the pictures for some examples on the horrors of dirt, hiding in plain sight.

The hotel: building is very old and in desperate need of renovation (including the elevator, doors, some of the furniture…) and the doors are tiny. While the breakfast is included and is relatively good, the staff were rude and made me feel like I was stealing the cappuccino I asked for! There’s only ONE staffer throughout the entire, very busy breakfast, which might explain—but not excuse— their crass. One of the two ladies was always frowning and looked so angry like she was ready to fight. She pretended not to understand English when I spoke to her, but then one time I wanted to have tea in my room while I worked: now in my room there’s an electric kettle, but no cups, no tea, no utensils, nothing. I took a teabag from the breakfast area. I asked Francesco for a mug or a cup, he said I could take one from the breakfast area. The aforementioned breakfast lady saw me and yelled so loud in clear English: “WHAT? NO! NOT UP TO THE ROOM! NO!” In the very busy breakfast area. I was so mortified, and so was Francesco, who unlocked a very old cupboard with a bunch of random glasses (one of each type, like an antique museum…) That same afternoon he offered me an espresso when he saw me working on my computer, which came in at the perfect time! I requested a seaview room via Booking.com and I was shown that I got what I asked for, but a day after booking, I looked through my booking and that (very important) detail wasn’t clear. I messaged the hotel and asked them to confirm that I have a seaview room, they didn’t answer my message. I asked again, until they finally answered and said that the hotel was fully booked and they couldn’t accommodate my request, which wasn’t my fault and was disappointing. There’s one elevator and it’s so so so old and so tiny, I was worried every time I took it. Otherwise, don’t waste your money. Go to an Airbnb or another hotel even if you pay more. This hotel doesn’t deserve your business.

Location was amazing … across from the beach and next to the main piazza. Only thing missing in this hotel are refrigerators.. other than that I would definitely book again.Train Station is with in walking distance and buses.Very clean and A/C got very cold.. don’t understand previous travelers complaining about the AC. Great hotel- I highly recommend this hotel

Everything was great- just a refrigerator would made the stay even more better

Good value for money. Everything fine

fresh pastry, pizza, yogurt, cereal and great espresso and cappuccino

all good

Nice retro style, very good Located.

Breakfast Italian sweet style, I prefer more English style.

Close to the beach, close to the bus, helpful staff

Mold on the walls, ceiling, and mold in the bathroom. A bit outdated. We were only for one night , waiting for plane, so apart from that, it was ok

Suitable for one night stay - close to the airport.

Location only

Stale smell Basic rooms 1-2 star Not a 3 star hotel

Perfect location, beach 1 min, restaurant 3 min, Great coffee and breakfast(pizza slice, cornetto, jam etc) Friendly staff

Everything was good, good value for price

Location was excellent and rooms cleaned.

Very very dated in all areas and the bathroom was far too small and looked dirty due to wear and tear

For a 3 star hotel it was comfortable and charming. A quirky but simple set up for breakfast, with a basic but good enough choice to eat and drink. You had basic beer, wine, water and other soft drinks available to buy along with tea and coffee making facilities. The rooms were basic but suitable for our needs, as really we only needed somewhere to shower and sleep. They had air conditioning and we also had a nice little balcony with a table and chairs with sea view. If you fancied something different, it had a very quaint little rear courtyard garden with plenty of seating, sun beds and umbrellas. Directly across the road you can find 2 private beaches with plenty of sun beds, great amenities and food and drink. You also have very close access to public beaches, town centre, restaurants, bars, bus links and train station.

Not really
