Cancelli Rossi Hotel Rome Airport - Fiumicino, Italy 

We weren't expecting much seeing our friends had just shelled out 300eu for a room in the Sheraton at the airport, so we were pleasantly surprised with this hotel for $150eu a night. Located in a semi industrial area amongst other hotels about 4 kms from the airport, the 2 storey motel style hotel was a bit disappointing from the outside, but parking was free and it was only for one night. Check in was efficient and pleasant and a lift took us to our room, very handy when you have lots of luggage. Our room was a good size with tiled floor, king bed, reading lamps and a desk and ample storage cupboard. A safe was provided and the windows opened to let in the fresh air, a nice change. Bathroom was very good, modern and clean with a hairdryer, large mirror and small but decent shower which seems to be the norm in Italy. Complimentary breakfast was provided in an adjoining hotel restaurant. Choice was good and coffee nice and hot. Around the corner, a few minutes walk is a cheap and cheerful Italian resaurant and another fancier place.

This hotel was dirty and not worth a penny. We were only staying here for one night for convenience to the airport, which turned out not to be close by and the shuttle was expensive, inconvenient and mostly non-existent. The area surrounding the hotel was not nice and the on-site restaurant was closed. We were told to walk to another restaurant a few blocks away. I would highly advise against staying at this hotel.
