Hilton Rome Airport

Great hotel with transport to downtown Rome

Absolutely Awful Hotel

Staff: Awful and Rude (No staff present at the executive lounge when I went to get my room changed to one that had - even a little - air conditioning.

Rooms: Awful (Smelled and no A/C in August)

Food: Awful (Tasted bad and had a bug in the pasta)

Executive Lounge: Awful (Food not kept refrigerated despite poor A/C in the hotel). In fact, the olives, cheese, etc. looked like it belonged on a Food-Health-Inspectors "What to look for" poster. Beer wasn't even cold which is unforgivable.

Also, it is a very long and confusing walk, through a maze of covered walkways going to multiple parking lots. I travel every week, many times in Europe, and I had to ask directions twice to find the "in-airport" Hilton.

Stay anywhere else.

Unique Quality: Uniquely Awful

A Great Place to Stay

In most areas a Hilton Hotel comes with certain expectations. This one is no exception. I definitely would recommend this Hilton Hotel, especially if you stay on the 5th Floor where you have access to the executive lounge. We had a diamond status at Hilton and were placed on the 5th floor where you have access to a lounge where you can eat complimentary breakfasts and other meals. I believe this floor is meant for mainly for business travelers, but we met others who were touring Italy and getting ready for a Mediterranean Cruise as well.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days total. We stayed 3 days before our Mediterranean Cruise and 1 day after the cruise. It is very close to the Airport, so you can follow the signs from the airport and walk to the hotel, or a short taxi ride will get you to the hotel from the airport. If you are touring Rome, there is a free complimentary shuttle that takes you back and forth from Rome. The ride one way takes somewhere around 35 to 45 minutes. It runs once every other hour from Rome and the Hotel, but you will need to check with the hotel to find out what hours it runs. We had no problem spending the day in Rome and using it for transportation back and forth, but the day we spent the evening in Rome we took a taxi back to the hotel.

They have a dining room on the first floor which we had to use one day for dinner because there was a problem with the food heaters on the 5th floor. It ended up costing us over 220 euro for dinner for four, and the food was not really worth the price. When the complimentary lounge upstairs is operating, we found the buffet and coffee and bread very good. I especially liked the morning scrambled eggs. My wife enjoyed the rolls and commented that no one makes bread like they do in Italy.

Unique Quality: The outstanding qualities of this hotel are the executive lounge, and robes and slippers were made available for our use. In the afternoon they actually came around with complimentary strawberry type snack and cracker to each room. This was delicious. They do have a pool, and an exercise facility but we were so busy seeing the sites, I only visited it one time.

• Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

Accomodation at the Airport

very good stay.

Unique Quality: excellent position when you have flight connection very early. directly connected to the terminal don't need taxi to reach the building. usually fare from 160 euro (good) to 380 depending of the room.

Excellent Service

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Rome Airport because of the price and because there is free shuttle service from the hotel to central Rome. This is an excellent alternative to those coming to Rome for a short stay (I stayed only one day), but still want to see the city and not just the airport. The hotel has all the modern amenities like wireless internet, a pool, fitness centre etc. I was disappointed with the prices for wireless services but there are computers in the lobby that are much cheaper to go on the internet. The hotel is walking distance from the airport and the entire walkway is covered so if you come in on a rainy day you need not worry. The room was nice and clean, the bathroom as well. I did have a little trouble figuring out the LCD TV which was very nice and featured many different channels, mostly in Italian but some in English etc.

If I were to return to the area though, I would try the Hilton Garden Inn at the airport since it features all the same amenities and claims to have complimentary wireless internet. Though I would probably only do this because I haven't seen it and it also sounds like it is cheaper than the regular Hilton brand.

Classy hotel.

A very beautiful hotel located near the airport. Good customer service and very nice dining facilities. Many designer shops located nearby.

Great (and Only) Hotel at Fiumicino Airport

Updated: October 2005
I've stayed here twice, once in a double on the executive floor (see the photo) and once in an upgraded king room. Both good experiences. The standard room was fine, but the upgraded room was lovely. Very large, especially by Italian standards; beautiful furnishings, elegant bath, huge soft towels AND a washcloth (something no other hotel in Italy I’ve stayed in offers). The bed was enormous and the bedding luxurious.

The room was VERY quiet. We arrived exhausted at 1 a.m. in the morning, and didn’t hear a thing until our wake up call.

The rooms are pricey, but If this hotel were in the middle of Rome, you'd be paying a lot more. Standard rates are around 300 E per room. But you can find weekend rates or “pay-in-advance” rates for about half that. Check all the booking sources you can. At this price, I'd say the hotel provides very good value.

Though the breakfast buffet is just okay.

This is not the place to stay if you want to see Rome. That said, they do have a free shuttle into town, or you can easily take the train from the airport.

Personally, I’d rather spend the night in Rome and either take the train or pay for an early morning taxi. But if you are worried about getting to the airport in time, this is a fine alternative.

Unique Quality: They have a pool and a workout room. Only a 10-15 minute walk to your gate.
