The hotel was quaint with interesting nostalgic decor. There are outdoor seating areas to enjoy in front and back. My room had a nice view over a man-made lagoon and private beach area, but unfortunately I tried to go into that beach area and it is for members only. So the public beach is about 200 meters south with some things to do there. I had a large balcony which was wonderful. The bed was comfortable and the price was excellent. The breakfast buffet was decent, and typical of an Italian breakfast selection. The hotel is only about a 15 minute walk from the main bus station in town. To the north, about a 10 minute walk is the main downtown with many restaurants and lively activity. (Side note: nothing to do with the hotel..... But, I had a tough time coming from Fuimicino airport on the bus and figuring out how to get tickets and located the correct bus (Coltra #2) there which only comes every hour or so (the Coltra (company) bus driver would not accept payment on the bus even though sometimes they will for an increased price of 7 Euros, so you have to go buy the ticket (only 1.3 Euros) at the coffee shop down the sidewalk outside near door 5, I think, and the bus stop going to Ostia is outside of door 6) They said you can pay on the Coltra app, but also the app can be difficult but will work if you understand it. Taxis are difficult to get from FCO to Ostia for some reason, as they don't get a return fare easily, so they will charge you a lot to go to Ostia. I tried an Uber but then couldn't find the Uber stand and had to cancel that. Also way more for an Uber than you'd expect. (FCO is a nightmare, and I'm a seasoned traveler). So plan accordingly. ) But I had no problem at the hotel for the return trip to FCO the nice front desk clerk ordered me a taxi for the morning and the taxi was just about 5-8 minutes late so, if you're doing that, order your taxi for a bit earlier to be on the safe side.

They have a problem with their elevator. It works fine, but it is an older version that has little doors that open outward and they need to be manually shut every time one exits. And so uninformed or inconsiderate guests keep leaving the doors ajar, and so unless all the doors are completely shut it will not operate for safety reasons. So, the front desk clerk keeps having to run up and down the stairs all day to fix the elevator. I feel bad for that worker. But that is how those older elevators work. You must be patient. But they were always friendly and helpful at this hotel.

Good location, clean room, good breakfast, very kind staff and overall great option if you are traveling from Fiumicino. 10-15' minutes walk from Lido Central Station where you can take Cotral Blue Bus to Fiumicino Airport right in front of main station entrance (€1.30 buy ticket in Tabacchi store in station) The bus runs every half hour (On Saturdays is less frequent)  Always double check with driver if bus stops in Airport (some other Cotral Blue buses don't) Ride is ca.35' If you come from Roma Termini take Metro B  (Laurentino) to Piramide and from there search for Metromare train (to Cristoforo Colombo) outside but without going out from the station. This metro train  will take you to Lido Centro. Ride is ca. 35'. One €1.50 métro ticket (100 minutes) covers you all the way to Lido di Ostia

Great location.

City tax paid twice,in booking the price includes every taxes.But when checking out they asked me to pays city tax again.

Very professional waiter in the evening.

The young receptionist at the check-out day could be more friendly. As I mentioned that the toilet board is unsteady and shaky, he asked me: if I’m sure it wasn’t me… 😳 no professional behavior at all

The very nice young lady at the check-in time was very helpful. She was the most friendly receptionist in entire hotel.

More shower gel would be appreciated.

They serve the best breakfast (comparing all 3 stars hotels) in Lido di Ostia.

Pleasantly old fashioned hotel with a real, friendly receptionist. My room had a sea view and balcony (not all rooms do, of course). Cozy , clean room, good bed and bedding, good amenities, kettle, fridge,tea and coffee. More than adequate breakfast buffet in sunny restaurant, although the coffee was harsh. Frankly, a good choice, at least off season.

Access from Fiumicino airport by bus should be simple but proved hard to figure out. Google maps was seriously wrong. Look for the COTRAL bus stop outside T 1. Buy tickets at the nearby café. There is no train. 10 minute walk from the bus stop in Ostia.

Located on the sea front of Ostia lido and a short walk to the centre of the lido with plenty of good restaurants around the central square. Our room was at the front and had a large terrace overlooking the seafront, although you don’t see the beach as there are the usual beach clubs blocking access to the beach. The terrace was large enough for a family to sit out on and enjoy the view of the sea. The family room was large and airy with a proper third single bed which is always appreciated by the third adult. Small refrigerator and tea and coffee provided. Excellent breakfast selection of both sweet and savoury is provided in the front breakfast room and makes you want to spend a leisurely breakfast there. Lovely retro reception and bar area. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

I liked the location, close to restaurants, convenient train connection. Stylish 50s-60s. Such a hotel with a retro atmosphere is a rarity among modern luxury hotels. The young man working at the bar was very friendly, as was the young man who received us.

Some tables in the dining room wobbled so that the coffee spilled over the edge of the cup. We changed the table, but the dirty table was not cleaned. It would be nice if the breakfast hostess wore something more stylish instead of sweatpants and clean the dishes more quietly and smile more. And it is definitely worth updating this stylish hotel and, for example, repainting the rusty radiators.

Overall great. Location with view to the sea. Very warm personel I wish to meet again. Breakfast which makes you realy satisfied. Bathroom with a bath and bidet of course. Bed with good mattres and nice beddings. Love the place. Far better than Rome accomodations. Price galaxy distatnt. And just round the corner you get top pizza for 9€ and bottle of wine for 5€. You can enjoy at the beach. In the morning just jump on Metromare for 1.50€ to Rome and you can be most happy. Now we are in Rome to have romantic luxury for last night, it was double price, but it is just terribly poor, without good breakfats and without feeling good. Who cares that vatican is just round the corner. We could do it to Vatican by Metromare from Ostia with greater smile.
