Hotel La Scaletta is a good basic hotel -no frills. It is centrally located, within walking distance from railway station, 100 meters from the sea. If you are lucky, you might get a room with quite a nice view. There is plenty of traffic noise, music from the boulevard and people passing, so it's not the most peaceful place in... More

My wife and I stayed here for a few days recently. I had previously stayed at the Belvedere (next door) and hotels in Ostia Antica and the town of Fiumicino (about 10 mins away). Without doubt this was the best hotel and the best value for money. It is a 25 minute COTRAL bus ride from the airport (just walk... More

This hotel is very basic but is clean. The price is relativly cheap however so ya get what you pay for. It was a good 20 minute drive from the airport - so not an airport hotel. The location in Ostia is great - right on the sea front however as there are a couple of bars closeby - it... More

Ostia is a nice place and the location of this hotel, opposite the sea is excellent but it's not an airport hotel as it may be advertised. It's about 30 min drive from the airport. The hotel was clean and checking in and out was smooth. Room has recently been refurbished and was very clean. I would go again to... More

Nice hotel. Location is great - it’s situated on the first line from sea (well, almost the first, because the real first line is occupied with restaurants). Staff was helpful and friendly. It seems that the hotel was renovated not so long ago. Rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. Our room had a huge balcony with sea view (rooms... More

The room was very clean and seemed to be recently upgraded, but on the small side. A.C. was nice - very necessary for a summer visit. Perfect for us - the beach was right across the street, shopping around the corner, and many restaurants to choose from. Just about a 10-15 minute easy walk to the train/bus station which we... More

My 12 year old son and I wanted to combine beach and history, Ostia proved to be an "ottimo posto" for that purpose. Rome is not a half hour away by train, and there are very frequent connections. Rome itself needs no further explanation, Ostia is a very lively beach resort - also at night. La Scaletta is a humble... More

After our Holland America M/S Noordam May 14, 2011 cruise, on May 21 we spent a night at the Hotel La Scaletta, Lungomare Paolo Toscanelli, 130 00121, Roma (RM), Italy (lascaletta@tiscali.it www.lascaletta.it ) at Ostia Lido just a little south of the Rome airport (FCO) and on the beach. The room was clean, nice, and quite adequate. The location was... More

PROS: Amazing ocean view! Large windows, lots to do in the area. I had the best pizza and the best ice cream in this part of Italy. Downtown Rome is only 45 minutes away and the airport is only a 10 minute taxi ride away. The self serve breakfast area was lovely and clean. Very nice staff members. CONS: The... More
