8.6/10 Excellent! (700 reviews)
The check in was fairly fast as they are open 24/7 and the overall staff response was friendly and helpful.
We arrived at La Scaletta Hotel by local bus from FCO Rome International airport Terminal 1 Cotral bus stop where we were able to buy a $1.10 Euro bus ticket per adult from the ticket machine located outside Terminal 1 building to Ostia Lido Central.
There was a bus/ Metro train transit strike throughout Rome on Friday November 15 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm with sporadic service throughout the system during the day with no guarantee of service.
We were able to catch an early morning train before 8:00 am from Ostia Central main train station near the La Scaletta Hotel to get into the Central part of Rome before the transit strike began at 9:00 am.
The free buffet breakfast from 7:00 - 10:00 am included a very large selection of nice bakery items, breads, cereals, fruits, yogurts, sliced meats, cheese, juices and a variety of specialty coffees and more. Great value!
