Staying near beach was my objective. Fairly easy to train to Rome. Fairly good dining at Tourist Port , Al Arcobaleno, Ostia Centro! Few people!
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024

2/10 Terrible

Just a terrible property, worn down, over priced, tiny rooms, awful location and staff seemed indifferent to their guests. Smallest shower I have experienced in 40 years of traveling. The only reason this place is in business has to be it’s close location to the hotel.
Suggest travelers look a bit further from airport and get a nicer place with a good shuttle service to FCO.
I paid additional 60 Euro for transportation
They charged my adițional six dollars cash they call it tourist tax
No breakfast
It’s not a hotel
It’s a room in an apartment
Teribile experience
With total cost of $150 I could get a better hotel room with breakfast and airport Shantel
This property is actually a shared apartment. With three tiny rooms… There is no parking and breakfast is a pack of cookies and an ancient espresso pod machine. It had The worst mattress ever! It Had indentations and the springs are horrific. Very poor stay. When I searched my stay to put in a complaint I also noticed not on my profile and I booked in Canadian dollars as always but charged usd ! So even paid a lot more than I thought for this property! ! Terrible experience!

Helt ok for 1-2 netter.
Relativt nytt og fint. Man deler kjøkken og et lite bad med andre gjester.
Rommet vi fikk var mot bakgården med bare et lite vindu.
Det er ikke en skikkelig BnB. Man får utfelt en pakke kjekts og en liten juice ved ankomst.
Det er gateparkering. Ikke egen parkeringsplass for stedet.
Verten er hyggelig, men snakker ikke engelsk.
Positives: The place was a decent size, and the landlord gave us (we paid him) a ride to the airport. Negatives: second storey up, but terrible neighbouhood. People (probably on drugs) were screaming loudly all night, not allowing us to sleep prior to leaving the country the following day. In the shower, we found a couple of hairs, and the soap supplied for the shower was cheap DISH soap. The family living upstairs had a child that was thumping uncontrollably while we tried to sleep. One of the night table lamps was broken and could not be used. The breakfast was old packaged bread stuff...not tasty at all. We would not stay there again!
Reservado quarto de casal e eram 2 camas de solteiro. Oferece estacionamento, mas o carro fica na rua, em frente ao prédio. Sem estrutura e limpeza deixa a desejar
Avviso a tutti i futuri clienti di Rifugio San Francesco:
La stessa vende un servizio molto scorretto e di bassissimo livello di cui dice ho meglio l'inserzione di vendita, spaccia di offrire colazione gratis e parcheggio privato gratuito, poi il personale, cioè il proprietario è persona da non perdere fiducia.
Dunque: sono stato nel B&B ( Rifugio San Francesco ) e/o trovato una cameretta con 3 lettini... in quanto, avevo acquistato una camera con letto matrimoniale + lettino a 95€, ma il titolare, si è inventato che chi ha venduto a me là stanza HOTELS.COM gli avrebbe reso 70€ e quindi la camera annoi concessa era quella con 3 lettini !! Ma io ho pagato per una matrimoniale + lettino.. Quindi per evitare problemi, ci sentiamo accontentati. Ma poi ci siamo accorti che il ( parcheggio privato ) era il litorale di Ostia, cioè abbiamo parcheggiato a 1 KM... per non parlare della colazione... abbiamo trovato delle fette biscottate e null'altro, neanche un caffè servito!! Alla fine della favola, sconsiglio tutti i futuri clienti di alloggiare in questa struttura Rifugio San Francesco, poiché non vale niente e sopratutto sono dei truffatori, evadendo pure le tasse----> ripeto ho pagato 95€ come indicato sopra e/a reso una fattura di 70€ inventandosi un mare di aggiri etcc... uno schifo totale... (provare per credere) e poi mi direte voi ! !
