Excellent for me.
Checked in just for sleep as I was driving through Italy. Nice clean room, friendly staff and a good bathroom. Balcony with a great view too, I just didn’t have time to enjoy it.

It's quite far away from the Rome centre, you need to have a car, the train arrives once per 3 hours.

Great hotel if you get away from the hustle and bustle of the city but it is an hours drive to the centre of Rome. Breakfast was a little disappointing... no meat, cheese nor eggs just sweet things. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Countryside Setting is impressive. Scenic Hotel.
Hotel is situated less than 5 minute drive from Colle Mattia local train station. It is very scenic location with rolling hills - true Italian character. I was amazed. The family ran Hotel is well managed and I managed to speak with owner who was very professional and keen to listen to constructive views. The room and bathroom was exceptionally clean with great views and landscape garden in the front. Staff were exceptionally friendly and willing to make coffee for me at 4am in the morning! Receptionist was super courteous and smiling always and booked Taxi for me to airport (CIA) - about 25 mins away. They only comment is that they have a new chef and will take time to cater fully to different international clientelle instead of set menu. I will certainly return and wish to thank all staff for the memorable stay. Thank you.

Off the beaten path
Do not stay here unless you are driving your own car. The hotel staff was nice but the hotel itself was worn/old. Not updated at all in many years. Surprisingly "country" for being so close to Rome. Farms, no buses, no sidewalks for walking anywhere, taxis rare and expensive, no stores of any kind. We ended up here for being close to Ciampino at a reasonable price but had I known how rural this was I would have chosen somewhere else. The restaurant La Collina just up the street was very good.

Good hotel with parking
Good hotel outside of the rome busy traffic. 20 min from the closest Metro station. Excellent price for the quality. Clean room but the bed was a bit stiff. Clean washroom. Airconditioning was working. Staff was very nice and was able to help us to find a nice place to eat called Cucina (really good by the way).

A horrible experience
We were given a different room to the one we booked and asked to change. The second room was very small and the shower unusable because of dirty broken shower doors. There was an overwhelming smell of bleach in the bathroom from the shower drain. Whilst the public areas in the hotel were very nice, the rooms were cheaply decorated and shabby with no double glazing and gaps beneath the window which was next to a busy road. We were not offered a refund for the room even though we had paid more for a double room with terrace. The single beds were very narrow. There were no duvets only two not very nice blankets. We had to cover the shower water outlet with a towel and a bin to try to limit the overwhelming smell of bleach, and leave the window open all night, even though it was a wet cold night, as we could not sleep with the smell. We left very early the following morning. A horrible experience.

Free parking, locale in relation to Rome and affordable were our reasons for booking. We were not disappointed. Was upgraded to a balcony room overlooking the beautiful countryside. Grazie! Room was a little warm, but cozy, clean and charming. Would recommend

Clean hotel with nice panorama
My wife and I stayed for 1 week at L'Ottave Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helped us about the information regarding the places nearby. The room was very clean and was cleaned daily. We had a very nice panoramic view from our room with balcony. Wi-fi was sustainable and parking reliable. In the towns nearby (Monte Compatri and Monte Porzio) you can also find a good local restaurants, whereas if you drive by car you can also visit Nemi a very beautiful place near the lake.

Nice hotel in the Castelli Romani
The hotel was in an ideal location. Close to Rome which was reachable by train in twenty five minutes. Even though we were travelling through Italy by car Rome is not a city you want to drive in. It was great to drive to the small station literally two minutes away, park the car and take the train to Rome Termini station and walk, take public transportation or hop on hop off bus . Trains every half hour and only 2.10 euro one way per person. Nice to come back to a quiet hotel after the hustle and bustle of the city in a short time. The hotel itself had great free parking area and good eating facilities at good prices for those nights one did not want to drive to a restaurant after a day of sightseeing. Also a couple of great restaurants very close to hotel and Frascati is minutes away by car The whole staff was great especially Francesca and Leonardo who were always accommodating for any requests or providing information to our questions. Great hotel to stay at and good value for your money.

The hotel was good but difficult to find.
We wanted a place to stay between Tuscany and Naples for just one night. This hotel was located close to the autostrada. However we could not find it even with GPS. When we finally found it (with the help of a telephone repair man ) we learned that it was not located in Monte Compatri as indicated on their website but in the neighbouring town of Colonna. The desk clerk's response about our difficulty was "Yes, everyone gets lost coming here." Otherwise the hotel was fine and a good value for one night. Very near Frascati which was lovely.

ideales Hotel für Durchreisende
nicht weit von der Autobahn entfernt, eigener Parkplatz vorhanden, Zimmer und Ausstattung okay, preislich in Ordnung. Esssen sollte man auf jeden Fall auswärts, da das im Haus befindliche hochpreisige Restaurant bei weitem nicht das hält, was es verspricht. Ich zahlte pro Person rund € 50,00 für Vorspeisenvariation, insalata tonno und Tagliata. Speziell das Tagliata, welches man von der Toskana oder Venetien kennt, war nahezu ungeniessbar: voll durchgebraten, lauter Flachsen und Fett, optisch ähnlich einem Hundefutter. Auf Reklamation hin bekamen wir das Fleisch weniger durchgebraten, die Qualität des Rindfleische´s war allerdings noch schlechter wie beim ersten Mal. Guten Hauswein ist ebenfalls nicht zu bekommen. Das Frühstück ist italienisch - also Cafe und Kekse.

Ho pernottato in questo hotel per una notte, sebbene avevo richiesto specificatamente (tramite messaggio con il servizio sulla piattaforma Expedia) una stanza con letto matrimoniale me ne è stata consegnata una con due letti singoli (come da prenotazione, errata da parte mia). I materassi erano probabilmente pieni di polvere in quanto, essendo un soggetto allergico, non sono riuscito a chiudere occhio per problemi respiratori. Il frigo era vuoto perché è presente un servizio bar con consegna fino alle ore 23:00 in camera, dopo quell'ora si muore di sete.

Skønt landligt udgangspunkt for ferie i Rom
Dejligt hotel med virkelig sødt og imødekommende personale. Morgenbordet har meget kage, som ser ud til at være alm i Italien. Men der var også lidt mælkeprodukter og juice. Og det bedste ved morgenmaden: personalet lavede frisk kaffe, cappucino, latte sov til os. Værelset var rent og pænt og vi nød den smukke, smukke udsigt over landskabet og bjergene fra vores altan. Hotellet ligger ud til en trafikeret vej, så man må forvente at kunne høre lidt støj fra omkring kl 7 om morgenen. Hotellet ligger ca 10-15 min gang fra togstationen hvor man kan tage toget ind til Rom for 2,10 euro (billet skal købes via nettet). En tur på ca 25 min. Det fungerede rigtig fint for os at bruge hotellet som en smuk og billig og lidt rolig base for en ferie i Rom. En fantastik service var at det søde personale hentede os ved togstationen flere aftener i løbet af vores ophold, så vi ikke skulle gå på hovedvejen som ikke havde gadelys. Det var meget betryggende og bidrog helt sikkert til at vi kan anbefale stedet - også hvis man som os ikke havde lejebil, men benyttede toget til Rom. En aften købte vi hotellets aftenmenu til 20 euro. Lækker og rigelig mad!

Net hotel, mooi uitzicht
Zeer schone fijne kamer met balkonnetje met prachtig uitzicht over Rome. De hoodkussen wat dun naar mijn zin. Personeel ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ontbijt met enkel zoete broodjes en vers fruit was prima, maar weinig keus en 3 dagen het zelfde. Prima ligging om de buurt rond Rome te verkennen.

Soggiorno a due passi da Roma lontano dal traffico
Ritorno spesso e volentieri per i miei soggiorni di lavoro in questo piccolo Hotel alle pendici dei Castelli Romani, vicino all'ingresso dell'Autostrada e a 10 min. ca. dal GRA. Parcheggio e Wi-fi free , Buona Colazione , Camere discrete e pulite, ottima accoglienza, buone possibilità di ristorazione nelle vicinanze. Non si paga la Tassa di soggiorno, che a Roma è un vero salasso.

Deludente
Cercavo un hotel comodo vicino l'autostrada ed anche economico. Ho trovato un hotel vicino ma la camera era piccola come il bagno, con arredi datati, ma la cosa più deprimente è stato vedere il letto con lenzuola bucate, e basterebbe un po' di attenzione per evitarlo. Non ci tornerei.

Servizio eccellente
Struttura alle pendici dei Castelli Romani, ma ottimamente collegata con Roma ( essendo automuniti ), parcheggio interno, wi-fi ben funzionante, eccellente disponibilità in Reception, buona colazione, letto comodo, ottimo Agriturismo con Ristorante nelle immediate vicinanze. Unico appunto negativo la non perfetta insonorizzazione delle camere che affacciano sulla strada e la rumorosità della ventola in bagno, ma tutto sommato sicuramente è una struttura che consiglierei.
