You have to call to contact front desk staff for check in/exit. Staff were friendly. But it feels like a rooming house and is 30 mins from the port.

You get what you pay for. I only needed to stay for one night so I risked this booking. The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the air conditioning in the room was not working properly- so it wasn’t an ideal temperature in the room. Additionally, the included breakfast was only pastries. Nothing sustainable- but better than nothing perhaps ?

Bakery goods & coffee
I didn't realize how HIGH the suite room was. 4 floors to climb. No trash can in room. A tiny one in bathroom. We each barely fit in shower. Bruised my ankle on bidet getting out of shower. Shampoo/body soap in one(!) Rain shower didnt work. A very unpleasant experience. Toilet seat moved every time you sat, so you were touching the toilet rim (yuk) We were there pre cruise & to sleep off jet lag..it was quiet and room was dark to sleep. The picture online showed a small table & chairs in room..we had to eat on the bed.

Room was nice, clean. Lots of dining options close by. Hotel has a small bistro less than a block away with coffee and pastry included for breakfast. We thought the hotel had a shuttle service to the cruise port, but found one of the staff to provide transportation very reasonably. The hotel is a short walk from the train station and is right off the main street. The marina is a few blocks away.

The stay is great for 1-2 nights. Only thing I would change was not getting to the hotel hours before check in, bc there are not a lot of places close by to sit down and relax. I did not like not having control of the A/C. Other than that good accommodations.

Our biggest issue was the room was not as advertised, the photos made it look like the rooms had been recently updated and had space, but our room clearly did not match the photos. For instance, our room was all blue and white. The room was big enough to fit the bed and dresser (that was broken so the drawers didn’t close) , and had a bathroom, we had to crawl over our bags to get around as there was no space to put them. Our shower drain was clogged and filled up quickly when used. The walls are all very thin, we could hear someone in another room throwing up. The bed was so loud, any movement created enough creaking to wake up everyone. Also, does not have direct access to the beach, it’s a 10-20 minute walk.
So overall, it wasn’t horrible, but it certainly was not our favorite place to stay in Italy. But the town is definitely worth a visit!

Ok for one night stay

Good place to stop for one night prior to embarkation on a cruise ship. Is easy to get the train from Santa Marinella to the port. We had what was called a suite, but was really just a good size room with access to a nice terrace overlooking the square opposite. The bed was very comfortable and the staff in the bistro below were friendly but English is not spoken too well. The shower and bathroom was tiny but adequate for one night. Would be much improved by some nicer furniture on the terrace but ok for one night. Lots of very nice restaurants opposite, the seafood one was outstanding. No minibar as such but a small fridge with a couple of bottles of water and juice in. No glasses or plates but we borrowed a couple of glasses from the bistro below (and a bottle opener!) Breakfast is one pastry and coffee (I asked for an extra cup of coffee and was given one) The main issue I had with this hotel is that I tried several times to contact them previous to travel, even through Hotels.com and never received a response so was a bit worried that it would all be boarded up when we arrived but all was ok.

I loved everything about the hotel. We stayed in the suite for 3 nights prior to a cruise. The room, staff, location...everything was wonderful. I just want others to be aware of 2 things.

1)The website clearly quotes airport transfer shuttle for €50 for car, not pp. We were greeted at the airport by a very friendly driver & transported safely to the hotel...the fee however, was €150(€175 if paying with credit card). When discussed with the owner she just replied that transportation is seperate from the hotel & they don't control the prices. Please correct that on your website.

2)The suite is located on the 3rd floor of a building behind the hotel. I absolutely loved the room & have no complaints, just want others to be aware that if you have heavy luggage, there are no elevators.

For those waiting to cruise and think about an extra day in the Civitavecchia area instead of Rome, this is a good option. It's not far by car to Civitavecchia and provides basic housing. There are no frills, no lobby of significance, or room amenities worth mentioning. This is straightforward housing while you restfully wait for your cruise. The beach area is an easy 10 minute walk. Nearby neighborhood has some fine houses. The plaza behind the hotel has a handful of restaurants and is a delightful setting. Parking is a bit of a challenge though not overwhelming if you can walk a block or two. Staff was courteous at both the hotel and the cafe/bar a short distance away. There is not a lot to do but that's a good thing for those who don't want to deal with the frenetic trip from Rome or its airport on the cruise's start date. The archeological site- a seaside fort and medieval village a few miles south, Pyrgi, is also an excellent visit for those interested in Roman and medieval life in this area. It is also adjacent to a beach to its north, so bring a swim suit.

Excellent place to stay, felt like family, cute husband and wife run the cute establishment. Well maintained, accomodated our baby with a crib carried it al the way from downstairs. Good location half a block to a great selection of restaurants cant go wrong. A small park across te street where the locals all go at night to hang out eat ice cream and enjoy some tea. 10 min walk to the beach. Excellent place I highly recommend it

Great little hotel with frindly & helpful staff.

Overnight stay in what is a nice little Italian holiday resort where very little Englishe is spoken. Hotel five minutes walk to train station and harbour is five minutes one side with nice little sandy beach five minutes in the other direction. English speaking manager who was very frindly and helpful. Room catered for all needs being quirky, bright and colourful and a decent breakfast. Plenty of bars & restaurants nearby.

Kleines Hotel in Strandnähe

Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 kleine Kinder) haben in Santa Marinella einen Zwischenstopp für eine Nacht im Dreibettzimmer gemacht. Hotelzimmer war sauber und für eine Nacht völlig in Ordnung. Ausblick vom Zimmer allerdings auf eine Häuserwand, was uns aber nicht gestört hat, da wir abends ankamen. Die Besitzerin des Hotels bemüht sich sehr und ist sehr freundlich. Santa Marinella ist ein ruhiges, kleines Örtchen und hat einen schönen Strandabschnitt.

riguardate il depliant di prenotazione!!!

l'arrivo è stato tragico in quanto il parcheggio interno previsto nel depliant di prenotazione non esisteva (oltre a accessori per caffè/tè; bagno con doccia e soffione a pioggia ed altri dettagli). Il soggiorno comunque sufficiente (solo una notte) la colazione degna di un alberghetto.
