Airport Hotel

“Way Cheap and Spotless; slightly larger than usual shower and plenty of hot water”

On the other hand it's hell to find. Drove through the airport's nightmare maze 2 or 3 times before finding Viale (or Via, but definitely NOT Vicolo) di Coccia di Morto off a roundabout at the lower lefthand corner of the airport.

On the other hand it's hell to find. Drove through the airport's nightmare maze 2 or 3 times before finding Viale (or Via, but definitely NOT Vicolo) di Coccia di Morto off a roundabout at the lower lefthand corner of the airport. Approach roundabout on V. Lago di Troiano: Turn hard right onto C. do Morto and don't give up hope. Pass an AGIP gas station (yellow sign w/black 6-legged wolf) and keep on to the next gas sign: it's an upright black and gold rectangle with a wing-like logo and the word FUEL. Turn in there. To its immediate right is a cafe bar, very nice, and immediately to the right of that, shrinking into the background, is Airport One, which even folks at a nearby supermarket had never heard of. Park there and go through entrance arch and 50 feet down a little alley to phone-box sized reception on the left. Very nice people. Limited English. Get key and go a few feet further and there's a little strip of 6 or 4 connected cabins--all the winsome charm of a No-Tell Motel, and I loved it. I think of it as the Flight-Path Hilton as early-evening flights blasted overhead--but then suddenly stopped. Slept like a stunned ox. Decent bed, usual thin pillow. Small TV. I had #4. Each room has small patio out front with table and chairs, testament to owner’s sense of humor. Was going to take the 6euro shuttle in the AM but when the morning clerk offered to drive me for the same price, I accepted. Stayed Oct 2 '18. Would stay again.

“Weird experience”

Ok first things first. I booked this hotel bcuz my flight was landing very late and I didn't want to travel late at night. Well the hotel is not close to the airport. Taxis were asking for €30. It was about a 15 minutes drive so I was mildly concerned since it was midnight and I didn't know where we were going. Secondly, the hotel is not called Airport one, it's called welcome hotel. So when the driver dropped me in the middle of nowhere with just one petrol station next to it which was also closed. I was already slightly scared bcoz of above-mentioned stuff and then I saw that the reception was locked and nobody was there. :| They had pasted a notice on the door saying my name and that I should go to room number 6. The rooms are out in the open, it's not a building. It could be a good thing or bad. Good coz they look like cute little individual cottages and bad coz I felt unsafe, but it was probably unreasonable fear. The key was in the door of my room but it took me 15 minutes to open the door, that too with the help of my neighbor who very kindly stepped out to help when she heard I was struggling. Apparently she also struggled with the same. However once I went in, the room was really nice and cosy. It was also very clean. I slept really well. But I was very thirsty and didn't know there was a fridge under a table stocked with water coz there was nobody to tell me that. I saw it in the morning. In the morning the guy at the reception apologised for my troubles and arranged for the shuttle bus to take me to the airport. When the bus got delayed he dropped me in his own car for only €5. So I'm really confused on how to rate the hotel. The room itself was great and the service, once I saw a living soul was good too but the distance is about 15kms from fumicino. Also the stuff at night was scary
