Everything about this hotel seems to put it in a boutique catergory, except for one thing. Grumpy old men! The front desk service upon checking in is just rude, and off hand. Surely a retirement home for unhappy old men is better for these individuals than working behind the front desk of a potentially great hotel. The only other conclusion... more

Hi, The hotel itself is nice, can't really complain about it. The one thing I would say is that if you are staying here to be close to the airport in my opinion it would be better to stay at the airport. It was a $60 euro cab fare from the train station from Rome to the hotel and then... more

We were leaving for the north and on to France and Spain and chose this hotel due to its proximity to Rome airport - we were not disappointed. We picked up our hire car fron the airport after a few days in Rome and were in our hotel room within an hour. The hotel has been extensively refurbished, the best... more

We stayed one night after departing a 12 day cruise and were flying out the next day. After reading reviews of hotels by the airport we chose the Aran Blu. We were looking to just relax as it was beach front with dining choices. That is all we were looking for and were not disappointed. They have units with sea... more

The Aran Blu is ultra-modern and stylish. It's clean, comfortable, and even includes garage parking. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the beach--with Philip Stark lucite chairs. Some reviewers have been disappointed, but if you know what to expect, Lido di Ostia can be a perfect place to stay if you have an early flight home. The town is a mostly... more

We stayed at the Aran Blu on a very chilly, windy, stormy night in March 2008. It's a very modern, clean hotel right on the beach in Ostia. The room was spotlessly clean and offered all the ammenities you'd expect in a hotel. The bed was comfortable, the television got English channels, the bathroom was crazy modern. I liked it... more

I choose this hotel for our last night in Rome before flying back the next AM. It is close to the airport and it is on the ocean so I thought it would be a perfect choice. First a note: To get to the Airport you have to take a Taxi which costs between $28 and $40 euro...so you have... more

We staid at Aran Blu Hotel our last night in Italy before taking a morning flight to US. We thought it would be nice to spend last night on the beach and close to the airport. We were wrong. This town is a DUMP! While we were driving around searching for our hotel we were horrified! It is an extremely... more

Modern hotel, located right on the beach front and only 20 minutes from the airport. Nice sized rooms are tastfully furnished, with very comfortable bed, room safe and great bathroom. Excellent breakfast and very nice staff. No extra charge for parking. Only negative is the lack of a restaurant in the hotel. However, there are a number of good restaurants... more
