Hotel Club Isola Sacra - Fiumicino

8.0

The 6 Euro Shuttle bus between airport and hotel only runs early morning and after 4 pm, so if your flight arrives midday, you need to find your own way to the hotel. Airport taxis were asking 30 Euros, but I managed to find a private bus that was willing to detour and transport me for 25 Euros. Also, don't believe the taxi drivers when they tell you train reservations can only be made from Rome Termini station. The airport train station can sell you advance, reserved-seat tickets for any EuroStar train. Hotel Club Isola Sacra is close to the airport, but in a quiet, mostly residential area. There are restaurants and a small grocery store nearby. I had lunch in the garden at the hotel (they opened the kitchen just for me!) and I ate a good mixed salad and a tasty dish of spaghetti with melted cheese. Breakfast buffet is mainly sugar and starch, but I enjoyed the creme caramel. The hotel is currently building an extension that will add another 40 rooms, plus gym, spa, and swimming pool (scheduled to open September 2010), but I was not disturbed by construction noise during my one-night stay.

9.1

Shuttle to & from airport is nice feature although extra. Be sure to ask for specific instructions as to where to meet it. We stayed here to meet and early flight. Perfect for that.

7.8

Good choice (if a bit pricy)for an overnight near FCO airport. Good restorante one block walk. Fee for schuttle about the same as taxi for 2. Modern good quality property.

9.4

We were looking for a hotel close to FCO airport that was within our budget. This one fit the bill. There were three of us, and we asked for twin beds. The room was set up as we asked, was clean, had internet access in the room with an easy link to plane check-in. The breakfast was good and the shuttle to the airport was on time and took us directly to where we needed to go. The area is more business than tourist, but it was great for access to our flight.

6.4

Shuttle worked well for us. Avoid the restaurant at all costs.

5.6

The only reason to say there is the schuttle to the air port which is reliable and fast. We had an ealy flight out and this hotel was the only one with a 6 am shuttle. It had a restaurant on site that was good for the price.

8.9

Very clean,comfortable, convenient to airport, very helpful staff, good restaurant...not much to do nearby

6.1

1)It's a new and good looking hotel, but it needs to be maintained much better. 2)The receptionist (on duty that day) was able to answer to phone only... I had to go around the hotel looking by myself for a multiple plug... The price is a little expensive.

8.2

A plain hotel (think Motel6) but it worked fine as a 'night before the flight' stopover. The shuttle was on time and cheaper than a taxi. Hotel staff was pleasant and gave us free ice. We had an excellent dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. Hotel breakfast was ok.

2.7

For an airport, quick stop, the hotel is acceptable, but the staff was not particularly friendly nor helpful....not the hospitality or care I am use to in Italy. They were just doing their job....certainly nothing more than that. One person, a bellboy from Kenya, was particularly nice and helpful. Everyone else could have cared less. The hotel was OK, & the service to the airport was dependable and fine, but I would only stay here again if there was nothing else available.

5.5

If you have to spend a night before to fly, it's ok. Otherwise it's a hotel for "commercial traveller"! The relationship between price/quality is not enough favourable.

7.1

Restaurant isn`t very well.

9.8

Finding the shuttle at the airport was a frustrating experience with a 45 minute wait added on, although it was mostly due to not speaking Italian well enough- and when I needed change the desk did not have any. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, and breakfast was the best we had out of 4 hotels we stayed at on our trip. The variety was wonderful. Also, they had no electric converters, which was a surprise since even the smallest bed and breakfast in Venice had converters. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I thought the hotel was much closer to the airport from the description than it actually was. We stayed in a triple and it was very comfortable, with the best bathroom and shower we had on our trip.

7.7

Clean, tidy spacious. An enjoyable stay on the most part. The staff could have been more helpfull. The website info on the shuttle to the airport is not true.

5.7

We chose Club Isola Sacra because it is close to the airport and we had an early flight. The hotel had a very loud party (amplified music, disc jockey) going on outside until midnight. We got little sleep. We had to return a rental car and asked the desk clerk for directions. He responded in a very bored way to us, and to another guest. We ate in the restaurant. The pasta was drowning in oil and salt. The food was served in the wrong order. It was the only bad meal we had in Italy. We would not recommend this hotel.

7.3

An adequate hotel for staying close to the airport. Comfortable room, a little on the smaller side compared with our other Italy accomodations. Breakfast was adequate - but coffee / tea from a machine is not inspiring. The internet computer in the lobby ate my money without delivering access to the internet. The hotel clerk's reaction: too bad. The computers belong to an outside vendor and apparently the hotel takes no responsibility for them. If they have a policy as to how to handle their malfunction, this clerk was not aware of it. We enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant down the street very much.

5.1

The hotel is rather difficult to find. We had an early morning flight but the front desk did not provide the promised wake-up call. On the expensive side IMO for the value offered. Nice bars and restaurants just 100 yards away. Front desk gave excellent directions to the airport, though.

3.9

we stayed one night at the Hotel Isola Sacra and were glad to leave, the staff at the reception on arrival were not very pleasant, the room we had was a double but not very spacious, in the bathroom the toilet seat was broken. On our arrival we were told that the restaurant was not open for evening meals and were told to go to a restaurant up the road, we dont think this is good enough. Also we were charged €12 for the hotel mini bus to take us to the airport, the local bus service only charges 50c per person from the airport to the hotel!

9.9

we were verry pleased with the hotel. they even took care of our bags for several days before we stayed at the hotel.

9.0

Loved it! Modern facility, nice and quiet.

6.7

O'k. This is my last set of comments which I hope gets some action. Overall the room itself and the hotel was fine. I did not like the women at the front desk. I also did not like the difficulty we had finding the van at the airport since you failed to state it was a Marriot van. We had to pay E6.00 and then the next day the shuttle or van was not leaving until the time we had to be on the plane so it cost us E25.00 for a cab. I believe we were deceived as in the add you stated the shuttle was free and did not state times it was running.I further believe we should be reimbursed the full E36.00 Carol Hale

8.4

We ate at a restaurant a few blocks from the hotel. It was the best food we had the whole trip and the most reasonably priced. The hotelroom was not fancy but it was bigger than some we had stayed in and was clean. We also were pleased with them having a shuttle to the airport.

7.4

Entramos el 1 de octubre para salir el dos del mismo mes. Sólo encontré en falta, el servicio del bar (no tenian cerveza de barril). Por lo demas la habitación espaciosa. La nuestra daba a un prado de cesped super tranquilo(hab.216). Tiene un mini bus con seis plazas que te lleva o recoge del aeropuerto por seis euros previa reserva. Resumiendo, muy comodo para los que tienen que coger un vuelo.

7.0

The hotel is located 5min from the airport which is very useful. The private bathroom is quite big and very clean. For a one night stay the room is big enough. The price is a little bit too expensive for the service provided but in general it's fine.

4.4

Disinterested staff, gave us very poor directions, sending us off on a very long and dangerous walk; brushed us off when we explained the difference between 2 miles and 10 miles afterward with 'ah, well'. We found it substandard in all ways. Woud not go back.

7.7

We stayed here strictly because it was very close to the airport ( about 3 km) and we had stayed before.Staff were mostly friendly and helpful, except for one manager who was lackadaisacal. Most staff were nice, happy to speak Italian to me and listen to my italian but also easily able to speak English.Be advised, if you want to book the hotel-sponsored bus into the center of Rome, ( it goes into and leaves from Piazza Venezia) give them some notice ( maybe a day) We wanted to go in at 3:00 and the bus was not avaliable for that run, though it is listed as a scheduled time. We took a cab and it was 85 Euro without tip. We had to do it as we were meeting a friend and did not want to drive in in our rental car and become lost or not be able to drink wine with dinner! Luckily we had a great driver who really talked to us and pointed out the sights.ALSO when you return, make certain you know where the bus will meet you. We were told to wait by the three columns ( Troia Collona) and in fact the bus breezed right by there and my husband chased it to the actual stop, on the back side of the Marriott. If we had not caught the bus we would have been out another 85 Euro, so this is serious. When we told the staff about this they were deadpan---not apologetic.There is a sweet little restaurant called "La Locanda" about 2 blocks outside the hotel gates if you take a left when you exit. The food is excellent and the staff are nice.We ate there twice. Never tried the hotel dinners the 2 night we stayed.The breakfasts are bountiful, but you need to ask for cappuccino--it is free but is seemed unless you asked you would not get any----Overall a fine place to stay if you want to be close to the airport. Not charming, but clean, comfy and functional.

6.5

We took this hotel because of the location near the airport. Everything was good except the transportation to the airport. The 6:30 AM van was full and we had to take a taxi for 30 euros just 2 kilometers.

8.7

Great World Cup support with big screen TV in the conference room.

6.1

Expensive, but near the airport. In May 2006, expect a 20 to 30 Euro taxi ride. The hotel was clean and comfortable, but not near much. The restaurant was good, but expensive and the service at the restaurant was decent.

7.9

We stayed one night before flying out from FCO Rome, and this turned out to be a very good decision. The train to the airport the night before, was stuck on its tracks and a 30 min trip turned out to take 3 hours. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30 pm and fortunately the hotel restaurant served up a very good meal. The hotel was quite basic but suited its purpose and was medium in price.

3.1

We were so disappointed with this property. If you want to stay near the airport choose the Hilton. Even though the Hilton is more expensive the price difference will be made up by the taxi ride to the airport whereas you could walk from the Hilton. This hotel is in the middle of nowhere. The neighbourhood is not the best. Do not go to Ostia down the road. Completely trashy and the taxi back was unbelievably expensive. The bus service to the airport do not leave atva convenient time and the taxi tarriff started from a really high amount. We questioned the driver and he started off in a flurry of Italian. The room is so small. It was like staying in a cupbouard. The surrounding are tacky and we were so unimpressed and were looking forward to getting out of the country. It was really depressing. Please do yourself a favour and do not stay here.

8.6

The dining room had excellent dinners. We lost power during the night and had to go down to the desk to get someone to rectify the situation.

6.7

stanze pulite, ottima colazione a letto

9.1

Excellent place for staying overnight near the airport. Very clean and convenient. Large rooms by Italian standards. Friendly, English-speaking staff.

5.5

The shuttle service was totally unacceptable viewing what was announced in the web site. Arriving on saturday at 12h00 and leaving early sunday, we had to pay 40 euros for taxi service to comme from the airport and go to the airport. We in fact would be expceting to be reimbursed for those expenses. It pushes the price of the room UP ! Unexpected and unpleased by the situation

7.2

Very adequate for an airport hotel. However, shuttle is a problem. It doesn't run from 10:30 in the morning until 3:00 and is very difficult to locate. We never did find it and needed to take a taxi. Restaurant is very good.

6.8

Average hotel very close to airport. Rooms were adequately clean and spacious. Shuttle to airport a plus. Thought a bit pricey for the accommodations. If getting a cab from airport to hotel, call a local (Fumicino) cab; cannot use the ones in the taxi line at airport.

3.5

As a 70 plus year old and having travelled extensively. I can safely say that this is the worst hotel I ever stayed in.(Hollow core doors had holes in them, etc) The van service to the airport was fine.

8.5

The air conditioning did not work well. Had to open the windows.

4.2

The service offered for the employees is very cold, the do no act as proffessionals.

9.5

This was our second stay and we especially liked the shuttle service to and from the airport. Room and bath are clean and well equipped. The adjoining restaurant is also excellent.

9.4

Club Isola Sacra was a convenient 5 min shuttle ride from the airport with little traffic. The bathroom was clean and modern, TV good, bed comfortable with an extra pillow. Adjoining restaurant was excellent and affordable. Hotel is also good value. Internet reservations a plus! We returned at the end of our vacation to have quick access back to the airport.

9.6

our room was huge,clean, and comfortable. there was a shuttle that picked us up at the airport, brought us to the hotel, and then returned us the next morning. the staff was wonderful,very friendly. the room rate included a continental breakfast that was great. the only negative was the location. the hotel is in the middle of a residential area, making it hard to explore one's surroundings. the hotel has a restaurant that isn't open on Sunday's for supper,but there is a wonderful restaurant within walking distance that served up a great meal.

9.9

Keep it up - excellent location and excellent service

9.7

Better signage when turning into Fiumicino (a left arrow, perhaps) would have helped. Also, desk clerk gave us a wonderful recommendation for dinner, as the hotel restaurant was closed. We would stay there again, as well as recommend it to tothers.

9.9

As usual, we received excellent service

9.0

The hotel is located in a residential neighborhood. Thus, small restaurants and shopping is available nearby. The only problem was that the hotel shuttle runs only several times a day. If you get to the airport after the early afternoon shuttle leaves, you might have to wait two hours for the shuttle.

8.2

avevo un problema nella camera che ho cumunicato con il staff ,ma non mi hanno aiutato.

7.5

abbastanza vicino all'aeroporto, tranquillo nonostante la presenza di molti militari nell'albergo; servizio navetta per l'aeroporto solo in alcune ore della giornata, ma complessivamente è una buona soluzione per chi deve viaggiare. Ristorante carino

8.1

The property description needs to point out that the hotel restaurant is closed on Sunday. We booked this hotel in preference to others in the Fiumicino area because it had a restauant on site. It was closed, however, on the day we stayed there.

4.8

Choose this hotel for one night, if you have to stay close to the airport. Shuttle service described in the offer works limited hours on workdays and even less during weekends. The cost of getting a taxi from the airport varies from 25 to 40 euros and depends on the driver's mood. Taxi to Rome is 50 euros one way. The additional cost of transportation should be added to the cost of stay. Altogether it is probably better to stay in Rome and use the train to the airport at about 11 euro one way.

7.5

Big parking lot with a good security.

6.1

The property was quite adequate for an airport hotel.Before we left, I had queried the availability of the shuttle bus,and they had cofirmed by email that it was available on weekdays until 9pm. On arrival(8:30pm)we rang and were told that we were too late, and would have to get a taxi! When we got to the hotel the girl on the front desk was very offhand, which was a shame, because the rest of our experiences in the hotel were quite good. I think our problems were more a function of her than the overall management, but I'd advise others to be sure about the shuttle bus details before they arrive.

5.1

Very welcoming staff, but walls not particularly sound proof and quite expensive for what it is.

8.0

Found the hotel to be comfortable and clean at a well price. Good place to rest up for a day or two prior to leaving or after arriving from a long flight into DaVinci Airport. Restaurant was very good also. Would gladly stay ther in the future.

8.3

Efficient shuttle service from and to the airport, but not available late in the evening (then taxi is 30 euros!). Good breakfast included.

8.1

Hotel met all of our needs, location to airport, service provided by hotel for free transportation to airport was a surprise. Price quoted via you was greater than others who were staying at the same time. Over all I would not hesitate to stay again in the future.

8.2

I booked over the internet and found the hotel to be most accommodating. They provided prompt shuttle service to and from the airport. My room was clean and pleasantly furnished. I had dinner in their restaurant and found it to be quite good. The check in at the desk on arrival was swift and friendly, which means a lot to a tired traveler. I would definitely stay there again.

3.1

Do not stay at this hotel because there are better options. The hotel is near the aiport, but more than the 5 minutes stated by the person at the front desk. To be exact, it is about a 20 or 25 Eurodollar taxi ride to the airport - and you will require a taxi because the advertised shuttle service does not exist. This is a very expensive hotel for the level of service provided and the front desk was not helpfull, at all.

6.3

Although this hotel is close to the airport, the shuttle bus service provided by the hotel did not run frequently, or on request. It ran only about once an hour. We waited an hour to be picked up after a long flight. Breakfast was good. The barking dogs in the neighborhood kept us awake.

9.1

Conviently located. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was a very pleasant suprise. Room was adequate and a bargain for the price. Courtesy van service provided. Good place to stay on last night before departing flight.

5.4

Hotel was booked for proximity to airport and for that use it is adequate. I wouldn't have wanted to have been there more than one night - facilities are basic - neither bar nor restaurant was open when we stayed. It was very noisy but we may just have been unlucky! When we returned to the hotel at the end of our break, the hotel had no record of our booking (made with Vanere) - fortuntely, they had a spare room!

3.9

Not nearly as close to the airport as they say. There are lots of places closer. It cost more than it's worth.

6.4

Our room was clean and sunny, although quite noisey. The dinner in the dining room was excellent.

8.7

The hotel was clean and very convenient for people that go to Fiumicino Airport. The shuttle bus service is very nice, too. Although I was a single woman traveler I didn't need to worry about anything during my stay at the hotel!

8.2

This is a great hotel that is very close to the Rome airport. If you have an early flight, we would highly recommend staying in this hotel. We experienced excellent service -they provided us with a free shuttle service. Rooms were large and clean. The only drawback was noisy neighbors the night of our stay(party being held next door) and soundproofing wasn't great.

9.9

We only stayed in this hotel one night but it was clean and large. We ate in the hotel restaurant (most restaurants outside the hotel close on Mondays)and it was not world class but good and the service was good. Breakfast was included in the price and it was excellent. This hotel is only a few kilometers from the airport and they have a free shuttle service. We DID NOT hear planes in our room! I would definitely recommend if you need accomodation close to the airport.

8.0

The Hotel was used for a layover for our flight back to the States...we did not expect too much ...a clean room decent breakfast and transportation to the Airport...we got all three.

7.5

The only thing I would recommend is a better Web map and directions. When we were trying to find the hotel we had trouble because the printed version of the map was illegible and there were no written directions. I would change that! Thanks.

3.4

Avoid like the plague, we were told "the restaurant is closed, because it is closed". The pay TV didn't work & the staff were rude when we asked why!. The staff told us to get a bus to Ostia in order to eat/do anything but couldn't tell us how to get there by bus. My advice is to stay in Rome & get the excellent 45-60 minute Eurostar direct to the airport <10 Euros 1st class

9.8

The driving instructions relative to the airport were difficult to follow. It is really quite easy to find the hotel when you know which roads and exits to use.

5.5

Hotel was clean and neat and the front dest personnel accommodating and friendly. Downside was rooms are noisy and the rates are quite high for very average accommodations. I would only use this hotel for convenience for a very early flight out of Fiumicino.

5.8

Very expensive for the amenities offered! However, they offer a convenient shuttle from & to the airport without additional charge. (it costs 40+ euros one way for a taxi!) Plus we had a delightful, relaxing dinner at the garden restaurant on the back patio.

5.5

it was a very noisy room, on a dual carrage way and barking dogs all night. the air conditining was noisy too. The map to get there was totally useless! Room was adeaquat but nothing special

9.3

Location near the airport was our primary need. It was clean and well managed. Very satisfied.

7.2

Not very accommodating staff. Satellite was out so television (specifically CNN and other English-speaking programs) were not available. Breakfast was included, but since I had to leave for the airport at 4:30 a.m., I requested hot water to make tea. It was not provided. The property was not really near points of interest unless you had a car. There was nothing in (safe) walking distance.

5.2

The hotel is well located if you are looking to stay near the airport. The rooms could have been cleaner -- especially the bedspreads. The bathroom had been redone but there was no soap dish in the shower -- nowhere to put the soap or your shampoo, etc. We balanced everything on the top of the shower door frame. The sink jutted out into the space in such a way that sitting straight on the toilet was impossible. The breakfast was fine, but the staff was a bit snooty. She served the Italians at their tables, but we had to fetch our own coffees from the bar. On the otherhand, the man at the reception desk was very nice and helpful. Would we stay again? Most likely not.

5.1

Hotel was okay, but the restaurant was a big disappointment. to be I honest I don't expect much when staying near an airport before a flight, but the food was akin to the UK's worst! - very drab. And a cold bottle of red wine??!! Hardly in keeping with Italy's reputation.

6.3

Unfortunately, we arrived late at night and had to leave at 4:00 a.m. to catch an early flight so really didn't have an opportunity to enjoy any of the amenities other than the dining room (alfresco)which was exceptionally good. Both the restaurant staff and the desk clerks were pleasant and helpful. As a convenient place to stay near the rome airport, it certainly met our needs and expectations.

9.9

The perfect place to stay near Fuimicino airport. It providesa free shuttle to and from the airport.

8.1

This was a good first time experience odering accommadation via the Internet.
