Hotel Sirenetta

We stayed here the night before our long flight back to Toronto from FCO Rome airport. This was a nice stay for a number of reasons: great location with the sea right across the street, walking distance to restaurants, short 15-20 minute ride to the airport. But the best reason was the kind and super helpful staff at the hotel and their spectacular breakfast in the morning. They were patient and understanding with our lack of Italian speaking skills and were quite skilled with English. The breakfast really had everything: pastries, eggs, tasty Italian cold cuts, fruit, cereal, juices, plus more I’m forgetting. Comparatively, a typical “continental breakfast” in North America… I would score a 5 out of 100 and Sirenetta would earn a 90 out of 100 at least. It’s not even close. The rooms were simple, yes a bit dated, but maintained in a clean and functional matter - it’s not luxury but for us we just wanted a place to crash that was clean. Again, this place is worth it just for the superstar staff and amazing breakfast.

Loved this place! The photos don’t do the atmosphere justice, it is really a retro lovers dream. They curated the best vibe down to the music. It made you feel like you were in a 60s film. And the location was perfect, easy to get to with the transport from Rome (for only €1,50!) and right on a beautiful beach.

Really friendly & helpful staff, great location for what we wanted. €1:30 bus to/from fiumicino airport (tickets purchased at coffee shop at airport🤷) lovely front & rear terraces, really enjoyed our stay here.

The place has a charming old-fashioned atmosphere that brings you back a few decades to the golden age of Lido di Ostia, enhanced by the clever choice of broadcasting popular music hits from between the '20s and '60s. The rooms are large, clean and well equipped; ours had a large sea-facing terrace too. The breakfast is generous (I recommend the traditional breakfast pastry from Rome called maritozzo, but there are savory options too) and the staff is super nice and helpful. In case you forgot your book at home, you can just grab one of the hundreds that are available in many languages all over the place. I'm giving five stars and I'd definitely book again here, but I'm gonna leave a suggestion for the management: just get rid of a bit of the clutter that's scattered around, take better care of the plants, and this lovely hotel will look even more charming :-)

The property is quite close to the airport, so it's a good option if your flight is at odd hours. The view of the sea is quite refreshing.

Great hotel with lovely sea views. For the price I paid (50 euro) for a double room with sea view and breakfast, the value was amazing. The breakfast was lovely and high quality with lots of variety. Staff were knowledgeable. Balcony was really nice. Only thing to fault on is that the rooms could do with a refurbishment as they are beginning to look a bit tired, and the bathroom is very small. More plug sockets would be welcome. I had to unplug the kettle to charger my phone. I stayed here for a layover in Rome, however I would stay again if the price was as good.

Really nice hotel in from of the sea in Ostia, really clean, confy rooms with sea view at a great price, I preffer to sray here that in Rome City. The breakfast really good, with fruits, pasticeries, eggs, veggies and coffee.

An oasis in Ostia! The hotel is older but well maintained and the service is very good. The room is fully equipped and clean, everything works including the air conditioning and there is a big private balcony overlooking the sea. There are shutters and blinds to keep out the sun and even though it’s really hot and busy with cars outside it’s very comfortable and quiet inside. They have a satellite TV box which I think it’s probably unnecessary but if you were here for a week you might want it. They have a cafe and bar and 24/7 concierge. 5 mins walk to good restaurants and the public beach with bar and snacks. Very close to Fumicino airport and if you need to fly out in the morning this is a great place to stay in an otherwise pretty local and not too touristic beach town. Highly recommended if you’re in Ostia.

A charming little hotel, with a fabulous staff aiming to please. As with most three star Italian hotels, the rooms are small but comfortable. On the night I was there they offered custom libations to the new guests. Get a room with sea view, it is worth it!

I only spent a night here, but I absolutely loved it and would come back. It is so much better than a chain hotel or an Airbnb decorated with IKEA furniture. Hotel Sirenetta has true character. It’s ambiance is a mix of a nice family house and a museum. I adored all the antiques and art on the walls, plus the Italian jazz playing on the background and humorous notes in different places. And yet, unlike a museum, this a place to be lived and enjoyed. The staff were kind to me (and I had to ask for a lot of special requests due to a medical condition). They always helped me with a smile. The only thing to note is that like many places in Europe, some rooms are not reached by an elevator. But climbing to my room on the 3rd floor was absolutely worth it given the wonderful view I had of the Ocean.
