Rodrigo de Vivar - Rím

It was an incredible experience staying in a small house in the Borge - the old walled city, with its 15th Century castle, all a short walk from the Roman ruins. Advice: First, the Borge location is just inside the gate. It's associated with the restaurant (not always open) just outside the gate and with the Country location about a mile away. Phone […] ahead so someone will meet you at the old city gate. Second, the ancient ruins are vast. Allow at least four hours, more if possible. The time flies. Bottom line: the folks at Rodrigo de Vivar are wonderful, the Borge is magic and the ruins are incredible. Ďalšie informácie

The property is well maintained and the people very nice but it is NOT near the airport and while they will "arrange a shuttle" for you, you must pay 30 euros each way to the airport making the hotel cost an additional 60 E. Our room, in the village was nice but very noisy (right on a busy corner) and if you left the windows open, the cats would come […] in. That said, if you want to see Roman Ruins showing how everyday people lived, this is extremely convenient to Ostica Antiqua. Ďalšie informácie

Located on a dirt road too far away from transportation or any other services, we were interrogated about our reservations and put in a suite underneath which a birthday party raged for four hours. Hotel is a mile from the nearest train and is surrounded by animal pens and cropland. Advertises itself upon arrival as agritourism. Only restaurant does […] not post prices until it is time to checkout and is very expensive. Our reservations were for two rooms and they claimed they were booked up. In the middle of the four hour party they offered to move us, so they did have other rooms. Very little English spoken, they are not used to non-Italian visitors. No air conditioning, too far from Rome to see any sights. Very disappointed. The internet advertisement is misleading and says nothing about agritourism and country approach. Van driver had never heard of it. Reccomend travelers stay in the city of Rome. At least with the noise you have restaurants and services. Ďalšie informácie

Lovely place to stay a night or several. Warm, friendly service, simple, honest food in a welcoming atmosphere. Do get there in good time in the evening to avoid the disappointment of finding the hotel looking closed (when it really isn't)

I had booked a room in the countryside. The one I received was in the village, shabby with old worn Louis the 14th gold painted chairs, a camp table in the middle of the room and a peeling huge mirror over a buffet table, a door lock with four dead bolts as you would find in a bank vault, a king size bed too large for the bedroom, a 2 ft tub area where […] you could slid about, mosquitos as their wasn't enough screens on the barred windows, a broken up sidewalk as the entry where you could park a car after going over the curb, and breakfast was served out at the ranch house which was over a half mile away.The noise came from the buses passing by and the chatter behind the room in a courtyard. Very difficult to sleep. Other folks must have had a different room then I did, but I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS RIP OFF TO ANYONE. Ďalšie informácie

Great location -- no service. We were dropped off by taxi at the address given and found out (via a note taped to their door) that we had to walk a half-mile on a dirt road with our bags to check in. Once checked in -- we were driven back to the original location. Our clerk agreed to get a taxi for us the next morning (we confirmed several times) The […] taxi never came. We had to engage the help of some local people -- and barely made our flight. It was a frustrating end to our trip. If you don't care about service -- the location is great -- a midevil village -- very charming. Ďalšie informácie

very remote, inconvenient, services not as stated. No: A/C, TV, Shower, Microwave, Ice, .... If you are not able to walk and do not rent a car this is not the location for you.

The hotel and its countryside building are 800 meters apart. If you are staying there for the sake of being close to the airport and saving some money on the commute, don't bother, taxi charge is about the same to/from Rome and to/from this hotel, although distances are vastly different. The place is located inside the ancient/ archeological/ historical […] town. The ancient village is very small but very cute and offers two nice local restaurants. We had to kill half a day near Rome and it was a perfect spot. It is a true countryside because it is located among chicken farms and other fields and smells like it, but in a very nice, authentic way. I think they have lots of different types of rooms. Ours was in a countryside and upgraded, so we had two floors. It is an actual apartment set up with two additional small beds downstairs and a kitchen. It is a lovely place. My husband thought it was "funky." And we ate better food than in Rome. Ďalšie informácie

This is advertised as being close to the airport. While it actually only is a few miles, the only transportation we could get was a taxi and for less than 5 miles, that cost us $50. Upon arriving, there was no clear indication exactly where the hotel was located. It was not clearly marked. We had to search until we found the entrance. Then that was […] locked and there was a small sign indicating they were in the country and would be back shortly. We waited 1 hour and someone still did not arrive. We needed to make an international phone call to the hotel and then someone came. Apparently they have 2 locations; a "city" one and a "country" one. We were assigned to the country one yet we did not have a car. We had to walk over 1 mile the next morning to a bus stop in order to be able to get transportation back to the airport. The hotel in the country had a sense of quaintness and intrigue about it, but we felt isolated from being able to get something to eat or transportation anywhere. They do provide meals throughout the day, but that was a significant additional cost. It ended up fine and a good story, but the hotel needs to be much more clearly marked and staff continuously at both locations. If we would have needed anything, there was no one around. If we had arrived even 30 minutes later to the hotel it would have been closed for the night and we would have been completely stuck, even though this was NOT at all advertised on the website or through hotels.com.

This hotel is in a 1200 year old piazza. Wonderful history surrounds you. The people do not speak much english but are very willing to try. The village is charming. Across the street the merchant wanted us to try all of his wines. Such a pleasant rest after the fast pace of Rome.

We had a good experience. They gave us an upgraded room. The Delphine apt was very nice. Being there in the winter however, it was a little cold. The staff went waaay out of their way to get a space heater for us, and that was much appreciated. A couple of hints: it is NOT a U.S. or even a European city experience. It's charming and you couldn't be […] closer to the ruins (which are fabulous) but don't expect a Sheraton. Second, call ahead to make sure someone is there when you are planning to arrive. There are two offices, one in town and one in the country and I don't think they realize that someone arriving may not know that there are two offices, or which one to go to, and if you sit around waiting for them to just arrive (like the sign suggests) you may be waiting a long while. If you arrive in town and the office is closed, just call the second number on the sign right away. Ďalšie informácie

There is no one on duty. Family members come and go. There is no phone in the room in case of an emergency. Even if there were, there is no one in the office. The room is primitive...peeling paint on some walls and ceilings. TV mostly has a fee and is difficult to manage. No tables in the living room. I would never recommend this place.

I was not pleased with this accommodation. It in my opinion is not a four star facility but perhaps a two star. One bathroom being shared by three rooms is not my idea of a good place to be. There is not a shuttle service to and from the airport as stated on the website and requires 60 Euros for a round trip by taxi.There is a one kilometer ride to […] get breakfast in the morning whereby the facility will shuttle you to breakfast at either eight or nine o'clock. We spent one month in Italy and this place was one of lesser quality places we stayed and the price was not cheap at this facility. Ďalšie informácie

I didn't know exactly what to expect when booking this hotel because of the varied reviews. I was under the impression that I was getting a small cabin in the woods or something very private as I opted for the country rooms. The description made it seem like I would be staying at a cottage or something old and romantic What is actually there is a rectangular […] building that's been turned into a duplex. You enter through a main door, have a center room with tv and couch, and each room has their own door to the left and the right. The actual room was very spacious and was clean. There is no ac and the windows stay open for ventilation so there is a bit of a musty smell I guess, but not like you're in a cellar or anything. Some of the other reviews were a bit too critical on that. It's an old house so the smells are on par with that. The only real gripe I would make is that the bed should be upgraded. It's seen its fare share of use and is a bit springy feeling. Oh, and there wasn't a stand up shower, just a tub with a handheld showerhead so anticipate that. I also had to throw a towel over the bathroom window as it just had a doily over it and you could clearly see inside from the parking area. Ok, as for finding it...as the other reviews say, none of the taxi drivers know about it for some reason and the taxi drivers in Italy will take any fare as long as they think they can find it so bring a map. If you don't have a map, just remember to tell them that it's across the street from Ostia Antica. They should all know where that is. Oh, and yes, expect to pay between 30 and 40 euro for a trip to or from the airport. I asked for a taxi to the airport and they arranged one to pick me and my wife up. The surrounding neighborhood is a bit rundown. There is graffiti everywhere but it seems to be the case everywhere around Rome. The country rooms are at least a ways from the town so I doubt if it really was a shady area that anybody would bother going down there. I was su Ďalšie informácie

This was a great stay for us! We chose it because of the close proximity to the airport for our last night in Italy. That aspect was great...in 10 minutes, we were at the airport. But...we didn't expect such cozy and charming accomodations!! We were staying with friends, so booked 2 countryside rooms (the main hotel was full). I am so glad we did! We […] had two adjoining rooms (suites really) that shared a living room with a fireplace. It was nice and cool at night when we were there(early October), but the cottages DO NOT have air conditioning, which may not be so great in July or August. (There was a fan in the room). They were like cozy cottages...wish we had more time there. Each side had its own separate bedroom and bathroom. The bathrooms were super-modern and clean. There was even a little refrigerator in each room, stocked with beverages (available for a fee). Beds were comfy, although a little hard. Breakfast was very good: pastries, cappucino, fresh fruit...not a whole lot, but it was good. Some cautions: DO NOT try to find this hotel in the dark...it is very hard to find, even in the day. The countryside rooms are best for those with a car, as they are literally down a country road and away from any restaurants etc. Also note...chickens and roosters next door! Great if you want to get up early, probably not so great if you don't. It is RIGHT NEXT TO the CASTLE Gulio...and many ruins. We had planned to see them but arrived too late...looked very neat and worth spending half a day there. Everyone in the office that we encountered were SUPER nice!! Francesca, who was there to greet us, spoke perfect English. She was very helpful and even printed out mapquest directions for us to get to the airport! This was a great value, and a wonderful way to end our Italian vacation! Ďalšie informácie

Definitely not a four star hotel, maybe a 1 or 2 star. Rooms were dirty, no hair dryer, no air conditioning, fly flying around the dessert table. The only plusses about the hotel were that, the train station was within walking distance and the Rome Fiumicino airport 15 min. away.

I went to this hotel worrying because of all of the bad reviews it had gotten before, but it seems that the staff has read the reviews and taken the time to address the problems. First, we were just stunned by how beautiful the hotel was and the location. Very picturesque. It was close to the airport and easy to find (look for the castle turet across […] from Ostria ruins). When we checked in, the conceriege upgraded our room to a small apartment in the village with windows facing the medival village. We had a small kitchen and the bedroom was on the second floor. A fan was in the room, which served to cool it down and also drown out any noise. The hot water worked in the morning after the switch was turned on the night before to heat it. It was clean, just the chair coverings were stained and a little tired. The room smelled smoky - not from cigarettes, but because it was built in the 1100's and from years of fires. Parking was free and easy. The ride to the airport in the morning was easy too. It took 10 minutes in rush hour. All in all, it was a GREAT stay. Chocolate mints, toiletries (which we did not see a lot of in Italy), and a picturesque village made for a lovely stay. OH - and there is a FABULOUS restaurant within the ramparts. The food was inexpensive, the hostess was so sweet, and the surroundings were pretty. Would definitely recommend and stay again! Ďalšie informácie

The Hotel Rodrigo is a quaint hotel within easy reach of the Rome airport (30 euro taxi 15 minutes). It is clean and interesting but do not stay anytime between July and early September... they have no air conditioning.

My wife, 5 year-old son and I went on a recent vacation and wanted to stay somewhere near the Fiumicino airport on our last night in Italy - to save cost and minimize delay. I searched for a hotel near the airport at a decent cost and Rodrigo de Vivar came up as a good choice. After arriving back in the Fiumicino airport we figured it would be a quick […] taxi ride. However, none of the taxi drivers were aware of the hotel! We finally figured out where it was but when we arrived it was not as expected. What I didn't realize is that we booked a 'countryside cottage' instead of a regular room! Arriving in pitch black, driving into what appeared to be 'the middle of nowhere', and being further from the airport than expected we were a little panicked. However, after putting our bags in our room, saying 'hi' to a few horses, and sitting down to a wonderful dinner it all worked out in the end. I would recommend staying here...but know what you ar ebooking and avoid the shock :) A van picked us up and brought us to reception to have a continental breakfast (included) and the Ostia ruins were only a 3-block walk away. The sea is about 3km's away which is too far for most people to walk. Keep this in mind as I thought we'd have the opportunity to dip our toes without the need for a taxi or bus. Ďalšie informácie

rates high for location. isolated area. language barrier in hotel and location. beds were upstairs and downstairs. no air conditioning, tv did not work. no room phone. no alarm clock. if all you want to do is read and sleep - this is your place.

Rates seemed high for what it was. Room was nice, but lots of dust up high. My husband kept sneezing from the dust. Bathroom shower spigot was non-existant. Room was fairly comfortable. Since there is no outside hallway, we had some men sitting on our stoop having a loud conversation during the evening that made us a little uncomfortable. The breakfast […] and hostess were wonderful, but for the price we would not stay here again. Ďalšie informácie

We had a 23 hour stop-over in Rome and decided to stay here because it is fairly near the airport and there were sights to see in our time there. Our taxi driver had a hard time finding it but did not rip us off on the fare. Once we arrived we were put in a room overlooking the castle there. Across from the castle is Ostica Antica, ruins from an ancient […] city which was an amazing sight to see. There are quite a few restaurants in the area and are reasonably priced and the staff at all were very friendly and helpful. The staff at the hotel were also friendly and helpful, arranging for us to get back to the airport for our early flight the next morning. Ďalšie informácie

Outstanding ambiance. Very quaint! Very old. We'd go back anytime.

The hotel rating and description needs to be reviewed. It is not a four star property. No hot water in room.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel on our last night in Italy. The photos available on Hotels.com included two shots of an outdoor pool, and we were really looking forward to relaxing after our two week vacation. The staff member looked utterly confused when I asked about the pool, and then said it was 3 km away and that we would need to take a bus […] to get there. The room itself was on a very busy street (nothing "resort" about it), and didn't feel completely safe with barred windows and door. It was convenient to the ruins, and close to the airport. The staff did arrange for a 5:30 am taxi for us, but didn't tell us that the 10 minute ride would cost 35 Euro, due in advance with no change available. (The cab from Rome all the way out to Ostia Antica was only 45 Euro.) Ďalšie informácie

This hotel is very convenient to Rome's airport and next to some of the most extensive Roman ruins. There are restaurants within feet of the hotel and the hotel staff is more than willing to help with travel arrangements. Some might not like the closeness to the castle or the church which is across the piazza. Lots of weddings in the piazza on Satu […] rdays. Ďalšie informácie

Het blijft een probleempje om bij aankomst iemand te vinden van de receptie. Maar een net hotel zo dichtbij het vliegveld van Fiumicino, met zulke rustige kamers, vlakblij de schattige oude burcht van Ostia Antica, is een mooie vondst.

Ligg unna dette "hotellet"! Kakkerlakker. Mugglukt. Beliggenhet like ved Ostia Antica, virker som en "forstad" til Roma, av det loslitte slaget, litt "øde". 30-35 E med taxi til flyplassen. Ikke vanlig togstasjon/metro slik kartet viser, dvs. det går ikke fra Termini i Roma. Ikke betjent resepsjon, vanskelig å få kontakt med personale. DO NOT USE THIS […] "HOTEL"! Cochroaches. Smells like a cellar. No reception. Area with no or little service (restaurants, bars, taxi, etc.) available. Communications to Rome and airport not good. (30-35 E taxi) Anbefales IKKE!

El encargado aseguró que a las 6:00am esatría un taxi para llevarme al aeropuerto y nunac ase presentó, de manera que tuve, 45 minutos después que arreglarmelas por mi cuenta.

Dette er et kjempegreit hotel å bo på siste natten før hjemreise. Det ligger kun 10 min fra flyplassen, og det er garantert køfritt. Byen hotellet ligger i har ikke all verden å by på etter kl 17:00, men du finner en pizzarestaurant, en cafe og minibank. Men så er kanskje det også det de viktigste behov siste kvelden før hjemreise...? Hotellet ligger […] i forbindelse med en en bygningsmasse vi oppfattet som en typisk "gamleby", med smale gågater og brostein. Veldig koselig. Rommene holder helt grei standard, men radiatorovnene virket ikke, så det var litt kaldt å oppholde seg på rommet før legge tid. Vårt rom var mer som en leilighet, med stue og kjøkken på bakkeplan, og soverom og bad i andre etasje. Myke og gode senger. Fast pris for taxi til flyplassen er 30 Euro, litt dyrt, ettersom det bare er 10 min unna. Taxi fra Roma Termini til hotellet kostet ca 45 Euro, 30 min. Alt i alt, et supert alternativ for deg som vil bo i nærheten av flyplassen siste natten før hjemreise - med garantert køfritt til flyplassen. Ďalšie informácie

翌日の出発時間の為に泊まりました。したがって到着が遅く、出発も早い時間でした。近くにオスティア遺跡などもあり見学できなかった事が残念です。 また、空港からタクシーを利用しましたが、ドライバーがホテルを間違えたりして散々でした。というのも建物が古城を思わせますのでドライバー自身がホテルと認識していなかった様です。

Zeker geen hotel voor zakenreizigers, maar de locatie in een heel mooi, klein middeleeuws wijk en de lekkere restaurants in de buurt maken het een bijzondere ervaring. De staf was heel vriendelijk (bv. bereid om ons om 7.15 uur i.p.v. 7.30 uur te laten ontbijten). Het verkeer in de spitsuren (bv. vrijdagnamiddag) is vreseslijk, maar zaterdagochtend […] was er helemaal niets aan de hand. Ďalšie informácie

Este hotel está situado en un lugar maravilloso, junto a un castillo y una zona arqueológica única en Roma y poco conocidad. El staff es muy atento y servicial y uno se siente como en casa al estar en este hotel.

At dette hotellet har 4 stjerner ansees som noe merkelig.... Det fremstår som et middels bed & breakfast i gammel 70 talls stil. Resepsjonen (dvs et rom bak en borgport) var stengt når vi ankom - uten noen forklaring. Rommet var stort nok, men inngangen lå under noe kratt på den andre siden av borgen. Anbefales ikke for andre enn spesielt interesse […] rte. Ďalšie informácie

Utrolig nær flyplassen, og ypperlig for de som trenger overnatting før avreise, uten antydning til Flystøy. Vi fikk suite inne i Borggården, med 2 lekre soverom og stort bad. Ikke kirurgisk rent, men absolutt pent og skikkelig. Det er også en fantastisk restaurant inne i Borggården som heter Cipriani, og kunne utmerket godt vært en BIB restaurant i […] Guide Michelin (lave Bistro priser). Frokosten er typisk Italiensk.

Vi havde søgt et hotel nær lufthavnen p.g.a. afrejse tidlig næste morgen. Vi forventede at kunne tage et godt tiltrængt bad og få en god nats søvn efter en lidt hård dag i Pompei og på Vesuv. Vi fik en lille mørk lejlighed, der lugtede af fugt. Der var så lidt tryk på vandet i badeværelset, at jeg måtte opgive at vaske hår. Hårtørreren kunne jeg nu […] heller ikke have brugt, da håndtaget faldt af. Værelset var forsynet med en gammel vifte, der slet ikke var i.s.t. at køle rummet ned. Hverken vi - eller vores søn og svigerdatter, der havde et tilsvarende rum, kunne sove i det fugtige, varme rum. Havde hotellet haft 2 stjerner, havde det været OK, men sammenlignet med det 4-stjernede vi havde boet i aftenen før og den pris, vi havde betalt for det, var vi yderst skuffede. Ďalšie informácie
