Ardeatina Park Hotel

Great hotel, the location close to airport but far from Romo city

The hotel itself is very nice and the staff was great. We had a nice meal in the restaurant and the staff packed us take away breakfast in the morning because our flight was so early. Unfortunately the pool was closed for the two nights we were there with no explanation. Also there is not alot to do in the area.

If you land past 10 pm at Ciampino, forget about this hotel since they don't offer the shuttle late at night. I had to take a taxi and knowing I wasn't going into Rome center but just a 7 km away, I expected to pay maximum 15 euros. I was charged the fixed 30 euros anyway so I might as well have booked a hotel located in the center and be where I meant the next day. The hotel looks nice when you arrive and even has a pool (5 euros extra). There is free breakfast from 7 to 10 am and the selection is great to have a typical Italian breakfast. Even the coffee machine is top notch. The staff is super friendly and helpful, in the dining room & at the front desk. I did take the fast & free shuttle on the next day to get back to the airport so I could take public transportation for 1.50 euro to the center. The only thing I disliked was the room. The rug was stained in multiple places, there was a super long hair in the bathroom, the walls were paper thin and I could hear everyone at night and in the morning. The worst path was the smell. The room had a really strong fake perfume smell and there was no way to get rid of it since there's only AC. It was so strong that I'm still trying to get rid of the smell from the clothes I wore in the bed that night. Never experienced this before. In the end, no, I would never go back to this hotel because paying an additional 30 euros to get to take does not make sense. If you drive, then it's a decent option to rest.

Way above expectations. Everybody very nice and gentle, going out of their way for the customer . Breakfast was outstanding. Parking is possible outside but also in their protected underground parking.

Stayed from Thursday through to Monday, hotel itself was clean and modern although absolutely no atmosphere. Restaurant only served pasta dishes that all seemed to be the same regardless of what they were called on the menu. Due to it being a struggle to get in and out of Rome from this location I relied on the hotel shuttle, which on the Saturday was a great mistake. Due to a holiday in ciampino we were left stranded with no good explanation and reception not willing to listen to my grievance, as stated decent enough hotel but no use for a trip to Rome.

Hotel is very nice and convenient to the CIA airport. Otherwise, there is no reason to stay at this location as I t is 30 minutes from Rome Centro. They do charge 5 Euros pp to use the pool which I thought irritating. Coffee in the room would have been nice. Overall a good value though.

Its a good hotel, but bad location. If you traveling on he car, its not too bad solution. Good breakfast for it money.

I had chosen the hotel based on the information which mentioned airport transfer is provided. Later I was told they did not provide the transfer for FCO airport. A hotel service counter asked me to go by bus to Termini station and take a taxi from there. Finally the whole trip to hotel costs me €50 which was higher than the hotel rate. Very upset and disappointed with Expedia over the adequate info and unhelpful hotel reception.

We read the reviews for this hotel and we decided to book it as we were hiring a car (plenty of free car parking space is provided at this hotel you will need a SAT NAV to find this hotel). This hotel is in the middle of nowhere and I mean nowhere. It's a 20 minute drive to the nearest metro station. Rome centre is about 45-50 minutes drive depending on the traffic. We found parking easy and cheap (we live in London so we're used to these prices) Traffic in Rome can be very very scary if you're not used to big city driving. Also hire a small car as some of the streets in central Rome are alleyways. This hotel is a great hotel. Clean fresh and modern rooms with great heating and air conditioning. The beds and pillows were very very comfortable and have all the facilities that you would expect. The wifi went down for 2 of the days we were staying although there are PCs in the reception area. The swimming pool is €5 a day per person. The breakfast is typical continental breakfast cheese/ham rolls/ cakes and cereals and yogurts. Fruit juice and coffee and tea. Simple and good quality. All in all we were very very happy with our stay here and we used the restaurant one evening and the food was of a very high standard and very good service. The chef also came out to see if everything was ok. We had no complaints.

Would I stay here again - NO Would I recommend it to anyone - Prob not unless they were just staying overnite & didn't mind the damp/smokey smell of the rooms, I had to wash all my clothes (even the ones I didn't wear) when I got home they smelt so bad The pool cost 5 euro's a day which I think was really bad, it wasn't even heated, it was too cold to get in The rooms were pretty basic and didn't have much going on and smelt really bad The breakfast was pretty poor, no hot food whatsoever, just watermelon as a fruit option, 2 cereals, ham, cheese, hard boiled egg, a couple of cakes and croissants and that is it! No fresh juice, no toast or anything! Very poor for a 4* hotel to be honest. The location is dreadful, it is at the back of a run-down, dirty, rubbish filled, dis-used industrial estate in the middle of no-where, there is no-where to walk from the hotel and its right next to a motorway. We got the hotel shuttle to the bus stop and bought a bus/metro ticket from the little shop near the gas station, we caught the 702 bus to Laurentina bus station then got on the metro to Circo Massimo near the colloseum. The hotel staff were friendly and gave us a map and offered help etc. spoke reasonably good English. Sorry the hotel was fairly new but due to smell of rooms and location and bad breakfast I would not stay here again
