Hotel Isola Sacra Rome Airport

10/10 Excellent

"La habitación muy cómoda con dos camas como nos gusta y con un baño amplio. Con una vista muy bonita a la piscina y los jardines. Tiene la comodidad del parking que es grande y a la mano, un desayuno muy completo y bueno. Definitivamente nuestro hotel favorito en Fiumicino y seguiremos hospedándonos aquí cada vez que tengamos la oportunidad."

Aria Palace by OMNIA Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Aria Palace in Rome for 6 nights and it surpassed my expectations. The hotel is super clean plus inside rooms. The size of the room for Europe was actually spacious. Rome was very warm and coming back to the room with functioning AC was great. The breakfast was amazing, and included everything with staff very polite and attentive. I highly suggest the breakfast not to skip! The location is very central to all the sight seeing and less than 5 minutes a way from metro. At the end the staff were super professional and very helpful. I really want to thank Fabian and Nicole."

Trastevere Roma | UNA Esperienze | Preferred Hotels and Resorts

8/10 Good

"Perfect location and very safe neighborhood. Hotel was beautifully decorated and clean. Check in was great. Staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Offered to store our luggage while we waited for our room to be ready. Our room was very clean, comfortable and ac kept the room very cool. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options. They even packed us a to go breakfast on our way to the airport. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again. Hotel is close to amazing restaurants, delish gelato and lots of cafes. The historical section is close by as well. I’d say it’s a 15-20 min walk but so many sites to see it feels like. 5 minute walk. This was our third time to Rome. We have already seen the sites so we did a food tour, underneath the Trevi fountain and day trip to Frascati and went to a winery. Sept weather is perfect. A little warm walking around but sunny skies and lots of sunshine. At night it was still 83 degrees and didn’t even need sweaters. Enjoy Ciao!"
