The bed was hard. The breakfast was terrible there was no food but sweets left when we went down at 8 ( breakfast Starts at 7) We asked her more food and they said there wasn’t any. We had no air conditioning. We were told that it was too early in the season and they hadn’t turned it on yet. Our room was at 26°C. There was no TV channels.

Great hotel with great stuff! Unfortunately we only stayed couple of hours (quick sleep before an early flight) and it was raining so that we did not see much about the area but the beach across the street looked amazing even in the rain. Room was very nice and clean, the lady at the front desk was very friendly. Highly recommended!!

Picked this hotel for a one night stay prior to an international flight due to it being reasonably close to the airport. The facilities in the room were as expected and clean. There was a large bathroom and balcony. The general areas and outside areas of the hotel were in need of renovation and maintenance and this was disappointing. Being so close to the beach front this hotel could be developed into a lovely resort

A beautiful hotel in a lovely little town. We spent the night there because we had an early flight the next morning, and the town is closer to the airport than Rome! You must plan for transportation because it is about 20 minutes from the airport. We made arrangements for the shuttle that was mentioned in the hotel's description. The shuttle is actually a private driver which cost us 50 Euros from the airport and another 50 Euros to get back to the airport. Since the hotel is so economical, we did not mind paying that price. It was most convenient. The staff was exceptional. We arrived to the hotel late as all the restaurants were closing for lunch. The receptionist Marta called a restaurant which was about a 10 minute walk from the hotel and asked that they stay open for us so we could eat. She took our bags to our rooms as we went off to eat. The staff served the breakfast early since we had to leave before the usual service hours. Highly recommend this hotel. Would love to return to enjoy the beach some day!

Perfect stop after a long flight!

We had a one night stay here as we arrived on an evening flight into Rome (after 20 hours of flying). It was the perfect spot to rest after the long flight as it was close to the airport and transfers were arranged by the hotel. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The transfer arranged by them picked us up from the gates and even carried out luggage. We were traveling with young babies so this made things so much easier for us. Breakfast was included in our booking and was a typical European style breakfast, pastries, cold meats, bread, tea and coffee.

They have a spacios parking. reception is good. The room we got on first floor was very OK except dirty floor ( some wet cleaning will fix that) and dirty/dusty furniture on the patio.Breakfast is OK for being in Italy.

Great value for the price. Lovely hotel overlooking the ocean and just steps from the beach. Loved the bicycle rentals. Breakfast was wonderful, homemade pastries, Yum. Hotel staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Since this is an older hotel, it shows normal signs of wear and tear. Everything worked fine except the air conditioning. Staff was apologetic and brought us a fan. We thought this hotel was a little closer to the airport, but it's about 30 minutes away. Grocery store and good restaurant within 10-min walking distance.

AWAY from Rome & 20 min from Airport

We visited in early October, which is definitely the \"off\" season for this area, meaning everything but our hotel was closed. One restaurant down the street (\"Toni\") opened at 7:00 p.m. It was lovely, the owners were delightful, & the beach front view at sunset was beautifully serene.

MAJOR PROBLEM with this hotel is you have any luggage is: NO ELEVATORS! Now I know why they call it LUGgage!

Otherwise, this is a pleasant beach property with a most accommodating staff. Airport shuttle needs to be booked in advance w front desk & costs $35 per trip (regardless of whether there are 1, 2, or 3 passengers).

However we had expressly called in advance to make sure there was a room with a double bed available and were assured it was the case - however the double bed was effectively 2 twin beds put together. Cleanliness of bathroom was doubtful.

Only stayed one night before flying back home from Rome. The hotel is close to the airport and if you want one more beach day close to the airport this is your place. The town is a nice beach village and is hands down a better place to stay than Ostia. Great variety of restaurants with very good dining. The garden room I had had not been renovated and it needed it but for the price I can't complain. The room was clean and comfortable and the Ac worked. The rooms that have been renovated are very nice. Overall a good value and if you like the beach the private beach clubs of which there are many are decent.

This is nice hotel with exceptional staff. It is in a beach area with local Romans; the hotel staff treated these non-Italian speaking tourists very well.

Decent hotel for basic needs

The hotel was introduced as a hotel near FCO airport - 8 KM and that was the main reason to select this hotel to have a break between my flights schedule. Unfortunatly it was quite far from airport approx 25 minutes by taxi (40 euro - per way). In the way back i ordered the hotel shuttle that charged 20 euro. The receptionist was descent and cooperative. The hotel is in the middle of no where, rooms are fine but lobby and restaurant area needs refurbishment. You must check your needs of location before selecting the hotel.

Memories of Days Past

I stayed at this hotel for one night before my flight back to the USA. I chose it because of its proximity to Rome's Fiumicino Airport and because it offered shuttle service to and from the airport.

Located in the beach town of Fregene, the very helpful shuttle driver told me about the grand history of this town, which in its heyday was the getaway for many Italian celebrities and of Rome's rich and powerful.

The hotel itself seems like a throwback to the swingin' 50's and 60's when Fellini even used it as a location for a scene in his famous movie 'La Dolce Vita'. And while the grounds looked a little drab (perhaps because it was the off-season), the location right at the edge of the Mediterranean is probably a wonderful spot in the middle of the summer when the heat becomes unbearable in Rome.

Charming place, a hotel with a history.

I just went for a night arriving in the evening and leaving in the morning to catch a flight from FCO and didn't know anything about this hotel, but then I learned from the taxi driver that this is actually an hotel with a rich and excuisite story. Federico Fellini stayed there every summer for 30 years, the hotel even featured in \"La Dolce Vita\" and many other celebrities used to stay here. Before that, even Gabriele D'Annunzio stayed here. Now times have changed but the hotel still retains a certain '70s charm, and it's right in front of the (nearly invisible) beach. I liked this place a lot, I would go back and I reccomend it. Not so its restaurant though.

Taxi fare was more than the room!

If you’re looking for a hotel to overnight near Fiumicino (Rome, FCO) Airport, you must choose from many in Fiumicino. This hotel also comes up on the search, but they have expanded the airport security perimeter, and its now 12 miles (20 km) from the terminal. The taxi starter won’t put you in a taxi until you agree to a 48 euro ($60 US) fare. In spite of listing an airport shuttle, they don’t really have one. Faced with that fare, they had no one to send for us and Marta refused to order us a local taxi. They do know a local person with a small car who can take 3 people at a time on return. He can only make 1 trip an hour, though, so since he already had a family at 9 AM we had to leave at 8 AM for an 11:25 flight.

The hotel is a nice property, and Fregenae is a nice old beach resort town. If you were going to the beach for a week, it would be nice (although most restaurants looked closed in October). The staff (incl Giusy, at the front desk for 30 years), was a delight and the breakfast buffet was complete.

Great hotel and location for a one-night beach trip before going into Rome. However, don't think it's an airport hotel. It's close on the map, but the taxi drivers have to go WAY out of the way to take you (25km), and charged me 55 euros. For perspective, downtown Rome to the airport is a set 48 euros by taxi. Took a bus for 2 euros to the subway in Rome the next day. But the hotel is nice, just not close.

Exactly what we needed. Staff spoke excellent English and restaurants nearby across the street were excellent.

The only thing is this is a beachfront hotel. It was clearly off season and the bathroom had a bad odor (like standing water under the shower floor (=Drain).

Other than that, property is a little beat up, but perfect for that last night stay in Italy and low stress 10 Euro pp ride to airport in the morning.

Nice beach front hotel with modern fittings

After a busy few days in Rome, was great to relax in this lovely beach front hotel. We had a lovely room in an annex building with a sea view balcony. Great sized room, large bed & massive shower. Breakfast was buffet style with lots to choose from. The beach attached to the hotel was just across the road, you can hire 2 sun beds & an umbrella at a reduced rate, ours was in with the room, bikes are also available for investigating Fregene. Staff were very helpful, & all spoke very good english if your Italian is a bit iffy!
Not far from the airport or Ostia Antica (ruined Roman city) Fregene is a small town with lots of pine trees & lovely to walk in, variety of shops, cafes & restaurants dotted around but most beach areas have restaurants & if you love sea food this is the place for you.

I throughly enjoyed my stay there and they even organized someone to drive me to the airport on my last day, only cost me 15 euros instead of 30 plus for a taxi. You can get a return ticket to rome for 8 euros and that let's you use public transport in rome all day to go wherever you like. I stayed in this hotel for my last week in Italy and it was by far the best place I stayed during my whole trip.

60's Charm Comfortable but Out-of-the-Way

Very deserted during the first part of October 2013. Rooms were older, but large including bath. Felt like we were the only guest there. A 20 Euro cab ride from the Rome Airport. Interesting though...and clean.

First time in Rome!

Awesome!

We had a room in a new building and were very satisfied with it. It had a very spacious and modern shower, large balcony with wonderful view of the ocean and the beach which was right across the street. Everything was clean, quiet, lobby was cozy. Breakfast was ok but the dinner (not included) was really good. Overall I loved it.

Only recommendable

The hotel staff is very nice & helped us a lot. They organized shuttle from and to airport, recommended very good restaurants and gave us bikes to explore the area around. The hotel rooms are very big and comfortable and the breakfast is of good quality. If you stay here, you even get free entrance to the beach club only 100 meters away from the hotel. We really liked to stay here and will most probably come back on our next stop at Rome aiport.

If you want something nice this is no no!

The location is amazing by the beach, around 45 min from Rome and not far from airport, no turists, quiet and peaceful little place. Hotel and service is different story...lady that was at the reception not very nice/friendly a specially when you have problem with your room....toilet in our room was bloocked flooding our room and you know what they have not done anything about it for few day we stayed there!!! Very annoying!!!

Nice hotel near the beach.

Great location. Interesting room with different (in a good way) layout. From our room we could hear a outdoor beach bar band past our bedtime, but not too late. The room had a huge \"rainfall\" shower that was wonderful.

Good and Dire!

My grades might sound contradictory, I'll explain. We were staying for one night before an early flight from Fiumicino. We arrived and were taken by a charming receptionist ( the only person on duty I think) to our first room. It was dismal, dark and gloomy with a view over the back of the hotel, rubbish and all! I looked in the bathroom and there were no towels and the bin was full. The lady on reception was hugely apologetic and took us to a room that overlooked the sea and had a balcony, but unfortunately work was being done to all the balconies on this floor so the doors were locked and the rooms ostensibly out of use. The room had been updated and was very nice, super bathroom with a great shower. It would have been a really good room if the balcony had been usable. The hotel really needed a coat of paint and some love; the old rooms were totally grim though. It could have been a really quirky, nice hotel. Such a shame.

Short but sweet.

Unfortunately we only got to spend a few hours in the hotel but we enjoyed
the time we had there. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The
continental breakfast was nice and we were pleased that we got to eat before
our long journey home. We would definitely like to come back and enjoy a
longer stay.

First Part of Two Week Stay in Italy

The hotel is easy to miss on the outside as it is surrounded by a wall but as most everything in Fregene is surrounded by walls, I realized it was not that unusual. Just was hard for cabbie from airport to find. On the outside, the hotel looked a little dated but the room and staff dispelled any doubts I might have had. For a small town hotel across from the beach, I liked the location. Right outside the hotel was the local bus stop to take to train station to ride into Rome and the hotel front desk staff were very courteous and helpful in explaining the bus route/train schedules to one who had never traveled by them before. In two days we were old hands at train travel. The hotel restaurant was a little pricey I thought at first but the food was excellent and delicious. I had the fish and was not disappointed. During our trip, there were times when we paid more for less. Their rooms seemed very modern despite exterior impressions, memory foam beds and we could not stop commenting on their rain-style shower which was really cool. I did find their beds extremely firm but I do not like memory foam beds to begin with so I dealt with it. One thing that was a negative in my mind was the A/C. Could not figure it out. I am one of those blokes that like things nice and cool but it was not my first trip to Italy and I know A/C is not a thing for them as it is for us in Texas. The nights were cool so we opened the patio door and stayed nice and cozy.

Good for couples who like good food. Food costly.

Reception, waiting staff friendly, helpful. Good brerakfast choice, excellent dinner food. On our second night the restaurant was closed as it was a bank holiday, but reception recommended a good local restaurant. Good ground floor outside area.

Good location for the airport

This hotel was perfect for our last night as we needed to be close to the airport. There isn't much around (within walking distance) at the time of year that we went (October). It was pretty dead on the beach in terms of open restaurants (ie none open and it looked like they hadn't been open for a few years!). We ate at the hotel and that was good quality food.

Our \"special treat\" a big disappointment

We booked La Conchiglia as a romantic end to our trip in Italy... without being too mean, it was a big disappointment. We read a lot of good reviews about this place and the photos looked awesome so we were excited about spending our last night there. When we got to the hotel (NOT close to the airport and a 40 euro cab ride away), we were put in a room that was extremely outdated with stained bed spreads, smokestained walls, no deck or view and nothing like what the photos showed. We asked to be switched to a room like we thought we had booked online and were switched to a less dirty room, but certainly not what we were expecting. The beach was nice but while the description said the hotel was ON the beach, it certainly is not. I would pay the extra money and stay closer to the airport next time.

Overnight Stay

The hotel is quite good but we made the mistake of thinking it was close and handy to Fumincino Airport so would be a good place to stay overnight before an early flight. The shuttle does not operate on Sunday and with taxi fare to get there and paying for the shuttle on Monday we added sixty Euros to the bill. Tho hotel is clean and in good repair.

Very nice staff, but 30min from airport!

I should start by saying the staff was very helpful in providing round trip transportation to the airport for 20€ each way which was better than the 60€ for a taxi! The staff was also very friendly, however the hotel is far beyond it's prime. My wife had booked our stay because the description said it was 5 min from the airport-actually 20-30. The rooms were very out dated and shower leaking covered the bathroom floor. Overall I would not suggest this hotel but in a last min pinch it can work.

Close to the airport, reasonably priced

We stayed in this hotel which is located adjacent to the beach road in October. * The rooms clearly showed the season's wear and tear. The first room offered to us was set back in an isolated location and was clearly an inferior room. While clean, it was extremely basic and dark. However, when we asked for another room near the front, offering to pay to upgrade if necessary, the desk clerk provided a significantly better room to us at the same price. This room was contemporary, but was on the ground floor. Its one opening, a sliding door, opened out to a small patio that was adjacent to the parking lot. Once again, we felt uneasy about safety, and chose to keep the door locked. The towels were of the thin linen kind, which were just adequate. The breakfast included provided pastry, rolls, some savory meats and fruit (no hot food) which were fresh and plentiful. while this hotel is on the beach, there is no way to access the beach, since all areas seem to be owned by private clubs, and they were all closed (and locked) for the season. The hotel is about a 20 minute drive from Rome'sFiumocino airport. It is an adequate alternative to pricier hotels at the airport.
