Wonderful apartment, with large and beautifully proportioned rooms, high ceilings and simple,…read moretasteful furnishings. The two bedrooms, one of which is a book-lined study, are at the opposite ends of the apartment, ensuring complete privacy. For the historic center location (which is really where you want to be as a visitor in Rome) it's very calm and quiet. Most importantly, unlike most rentals in the area, it truly feels like home - which it is - with an extensive, multilingual library and a well-equipped kitchen. Everything you need for housekeeping or cooking, including a small farmers' market, is within a 5-to-10-minute walking distance, and some of the best meals out that we had in Rome were also right in the neighborhood. My mother and I stayed for two weeks, and she felt so comfortable that she confessed to missing the apartment after we left! Emanuele, who manages the property for the owner, could not have been a more gracious, helpful and reliable host, accessible at all times and ready to help out with whatever was needed. We can't recommend Ivy House highly enough and would be more than happy to stay there again!

The host gave us lots of good tips and a local map with marked out destinations and their office location. There were a few things that needed updating and maybe a few items that just needed to be gotten rid of like the dollar store pink heart shaped candles that were on the counters. It was clean and all the things we needed for a great stay. It even had a laundry room. It's worth mentioning that there was a small store just feet from the entrance if you are traveling on a dime or just want some fresh fruit and bottled water.

Our Room was on the quiet side of the hotel and could still see the beach. Hotel does not have dedicated parking lot. You can park on the street but will take a bit of patience to locate a spot. Beds were comfortable. Don't let the fact that it's next door to a McDonald's turn you off. Would definitely stay here again and recommend as it is an excellent value.

Our room was spacious, clean, and had doors opening onto the patio (see my photo). Breakfast was good, and we were able to take a shuttle to the airport the next morning. Staff was very helpful... I inadvertently forgot to return the keys to our previous hotel. The receptionist at Hotel del Mare graciously agreed to take it to the post office for us, and we reimbursed her for the postage plus some extra for her trouble. Also, got a great recommendation for dinner.

My wife and I booked Hotel del Mare as an airport hotel so that we could rest a bit before flying…read moreback to Canada after a wonderful three weeks of honeymooning in Italy. We had tried to book the hotel's shuttle bus to pick us up at FCO after taking the train there. I had sent an email to them the night before we were to arrive, but I didn't hear anything back by the time we were leaving Florence the following morning. Before we left we got the very kind staff at our hotel in Florence to try to help arrange it, but between the language barrier and/or Hotel del Mare having rules about only picking up people flying into FCO, it didn't work out. We just ended up getting a cab (25 euro). The location of the hotel has an unbeatable view of the beach, which is just across the street. The neighbourhood feels like it would be pretty rundown if it didn't have airport and beach goers supporting it, but it certainly didn't seem dangerous. The beach itself is fairly long, and is made up of a series of man made coves and breakwaters. In typical Italian style, it was a bit dirty with way too much litter, at least the public sections we were on. Hotel del Mare isn't huge, with just two storeys, but it has a nice rooftop patio with about a dozen cabana chairs and even a small hot tub. Our room was a decent size and the bed was the Italian "queen-sized", aka. two twins pushed together. However, the AC was all but non-functioning. After a couple hours it hadn't cooled down the room so we talked to the front desk staff about it. After they investigated, they couldn't get anyone to come by at that point in the evening, and we were SOL. There were no rooms that we could move to, but we were able to get an old fan from the front desk that combined with an open window to keep the room survivable, if not very comfortable. The front desk staff was really cool about letting us print off our boarding passes. They didn't have a business centre, but just let me use their computer for a few minutes. Breakfast was served just off the main entryway and was what by then had become a familiar sight: cornetti, fruit, yogurt, some sweets, and cheese, cold cuts and bread for making sandwiches. They did have a panini press for your own use, which was kind of neat. We scheduled our shuttle ride the night before (18 euro, paid in cash to the driver), and it was a fairly quick drive there. It certainly wasn't the highlight of our trip, but the nice, helpful staff kept it from being a disaster, so that's worth something.

We booked this hotel with a Costco package. We figured that they would've vetted the hotels and…read morewould understand what Americans are looking for. Our criteria was as we were a party of 6 (2 couples and 2 single ladies): 1) Location - to be somewhat in the center of the city 2) near a train station 3) breakfast 4) air conditioning. FREE WiFi always a plus! We had a total of 4 rooms. The great thing was they placed all of us on the 7 th floor. The rooms were spacious and clean. The front desk was friendly and attentive. Breakfast is not a typical continental breakfast. I was impressed with the variety. Breakfast is from 6:45 to 10:30 am. There are no meal options after that but there are endless food options in the area. I usually take issue with the beds- I either have a not so comfy bed or pillows. Both were fantástico! Situational awareness is important. Staying in lighted areas, away from the side streets and near the crowds are probably safer....but that's a general rule in any city. I probably would need to think about venturing out at night if we were a pair of females....like catching a taxi to get somewhere vs walking. There is also laundry service the next block over where it costs about 9€ per 6 kilos. You drop it off and they do it for you. The front desk said it takes about 2 hrs. We will taking advantage of the service. The train station or Termini is about 2 streets down and clearly renovated with shops, a Western Union, restaurants, even a chapel. Security, police and military personnel patrol the area so it's a relatively safe area. We are happy with Hotel Ariston!

We initially wanted to change hotels but Costco couldn't find an available one and the staff wouldn't release us, so they pushed for us to upgrade to a suite. Overall, decent enough stay. Breakfast wasn't bad but not good either. Located 5 minutes to the train station. Very small elevators and narrow room floors. Don't go out late at night as it doesn't look too safe to wander.

The staff at Le Méridien is wonderful. Above & beyond quality service. We celebrated our wedding anniversary during our stay and the hotel staff made sure to make it special by upgrading our room and having an ice cold complimentary Prosecco ready for us upon entering. We stayed here twice! Both rooms came with complimentary water bottles and a complimentary mini bar. Once you drink everything, then they'll charge to refill. Mini bar was excellent, filled with sodas, orange juice and healthy veggie juice. Perfect for a hot summer Roman day of 90°F / 33°C. The bed, pillows and sheets were amazing. The pillowtop was very cozy, the blankets were warm for the cold air conditioning. Air conditioners in each room worked like a dream and we stayed here twice. Each room has a fresh robe to use during your stay and complimentary slippers for both. The bathrooms were nice and comfortable. Lighting is definitely superb in this hotel. Making it excellent for applying makeup, or getting ready. The Breakfast at the restaurant is exceptional. Worth the €20 euros a person. You can book the room and add the breakfast. We chose to see what they have first and add it afterwards. This option worked out perfectly for us. They have all the breakfast items, eggs, prosciutto, beans, several breads, cereals, pancakes, waffles with syrup or fresh honey comb, fruits, yogurts, meats, and the biggest Nutella I've ever seen. There's a rooftop terrace for light bites and drinks. A restaurant is also located on the 1st level. We opted to eat outside of the hotel in restaurants and explore, although the hotel restaurants looked great. I absolutely love this hotel and I will stay here again the next time I'm in Rome.
