B&B Hotel Roma Aeroporto Fiera 1

Stayed here for one night to be close to the airport for return flight home. Terrible experience ahead of my 6:15am shuttle pickup to the airport. Wish I got a couple hours sleep but was so uncomfortable it proved impossible.

1. Found out my family’s rooms had a box of water per person. When I was later in the lobby I mentioned to the concierge that I didn’t receive any water in my room and was told I didn’t have the “deluxe” room. I didn’t think it was possible for a 2-star hotel connected to a shopping mall to have the gall to classify any room as deluxe. Also, isn’t that a basic amenity?

2. Weird wet squishy thing on floor by bathroom door. Not sure what it was but I stepped on it and my foot recoiled into my body. Not to mention the splashes of white substance across the inside of the bathroom door and copious amount of mold lining every inch of the shower. Oh yes, and the pee droplets caked into the ground by the toilet. I am not convinced these rooms are cleaned thoroughly between guests.

3. Hotel takes over room temperature at night. There is one duvet on the bed. Hope you’re not a warm sleeper because you will leave a pool of sweat behind just like me. I write this review at 2am after finally getting up to check the thermostat I set to 20 degrees Celsius. This has pushed me over the edge to actually write a review to help others know what they’re getting into.

3a. Evidently, this is an energy saving hotel with signage everywhere to turn off the lights and water when not necessary. It is a step too far to take over room temperature at night while not providing a lighter sheet to sleep with of a bottle of water to hydrate. Maybe they want all guests to have a “deluxe” sauna experience each night. Or they are desperately trying to cut spending at their guests’ expense.

This hotel room appeared fine at first glance then quickly progressed to nightmare. At least the bed was comfortable as I lay awake sweating off pounds of body weight instead of sleeping.

This place is nasty. Black mold in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. When we complained about this to the front desk, the reception staff was helpful and apologetic, but unable to actually do anything meaningful. They offered to switch us rooms, which I initially took them up on. However, after seeing the mold conditions in the new room, we opted to stay in our first room because it was just as bad. The maintenance and cleaning staff of this hotel should be ashamed. The beds appeared clean and were fairly comfortable, but we could not shake the unease that was a side-effect of the extremely poor condition of the hotel. The location is only one stop away from the airport, which is convenient for early flights. However, it is also right next to a sad, nearly closed mall which offers the most dismal of food options. This hotel is lucky it is greeted by a barrage of unknowing international customers each year, otherwise it would be out of business. I can’t imagine anyone would want to stay here twice.

Breakfast doesn't start until 7:00 and is an additional cost, so if you need to head to the airport early keep that in mind. The shuttle also has a cost (I believe it was 6 Euros per person, which is pretty steep for a 10 minute ride). The bed was comfortable and the room was pretty modern, but the shower had a lot of mold in it and did not feel clean. The AC is hard locked so you can't control it, which can be frustrating when it is hot. It worked for a place to sleep before going to the airport early in the morning, but it's not great.
