The rooms were very clean, the view superb, breakfast average, lots of cigarette smoke in the reception area and rooms, friendly staff, great airport pick up and drop off, Internet in the rooms a complete fail, free wifi in reception very good. The price was very reasonable and proximity to Rome, airport and beach was excellent. If you don't want... More

Very nice room, not huge but very well-designed. A little noisy, though. A bit of a walk to restaurants. Nice view of water & marina. Lovely staff. Wifi in lobby, not in rooms. More

We stayed here the night before our flight back to the states. It is very convenient to the airport. The rates where reasonable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It is a new hotel so all is in great condition. Took me a bit to figure out how to turn off the lights. Needed a specific switch positions. Staff was... More

My boyfriend and I picked this as a cheaper option to staying in Rome. Our plan was to get into rome and go back to the hotel. Our two night stay ended up being only one night as we regretted it as a choice. The neighborhood at night was one that we didn't want to be around, it seemed very... More

Clean, great comfort, friendly and very helpful staff. Next to 'port' for the rich (and perhaps famous judging by boats!). Need a car tho or be prepared to bus/walk to station. A convenient 30 mins to rome. 16 euros buys a week's travel ticket for transport system incl train and metro. Again, staff v helpful. Free parking in basement.did i... More

Well, what can I say? We stayed one night there because it was close to the airport in Rome. We wanted something on the mediterranean. I was told it was a 4 star. We did not feel safe when we pulled up to the front. It was isolated feeling. There was parking but it was very tight getting our small... More

We chose this hotel to be close to the airport for an early-morning flight. The hotel was nearly empty but we were given a very poor room in the back. We requested to be moved to the beach side and agreed to pay an upcharge which they ended up not assessing. The room was much nicer but all the hotel's... More

We spent two nights at the Aran Blu at the end of our Italian vacation. We had stayed at many stellar properties and this hotel was somewhat of a disappointment. The location is good for traveling to the airport and has a nice view of the sea. The room was somewhat small. It was clean although the carpet was worn... More

Good hotel with modern design. Breakfast is rather poor, there's no good expresso :) If you travel in cold time of the year, be aware that to go downstairs (ex. for breakfast) you'll have to pass the out-side zone on your floor, because the lift is situated separately from main buildings (between them). That's very uncomfortable, if it's raining &... More
