Academy Hotel

I picked this location as an affordable night stay near the Rome airport. I did see some negative reviews when booking, but went with price. This place has both positive and negative elements. It was more like a hostel environment, and the walls were thin so you could hear talking from adjoining rooms. It was old and a little dirty. That being said, they provided a great breakfast with staff who made great cappuccino, they have a shuttle to/from the airport at a reasonable cost, and they were walking distance from some great dining.

This hotel is a great place to stay close to the Rome airport. The staff was great and the airport shuttle was easy. it is located close to very good restaurants. I would highly recommend Ristorante Seconda Riva.

Il personale è molto gentile e la posizione è comoda poiché vicino ad una zona con molti ristoranti. Per il resto non si salva nulla, mancanza di ascensore, tende della camera macchiate, arredi con grosse macchie e in generale struttura completamente da ristrutturare e rimodernare. €183 il prezzo di una notte, dire che è esagerato sarebbe riduttivo

Staffed 24/7 which is important for late arrivals. Many properties have no reception/greeters after 11 pm. Front desk very helpful and welcoming. Airport shuttle and/taxi available at front desk. One block away from river front with fishing fleet. Interesting, walkable area.

The staff was very sweet but the listing said there was a bar and restaurant and there were neither. There were many good restaurants nearby but we were surprised by the misinformation. It was one of the reasons we selected the hotel as after a long day of travel easy onsite access to food and a drink is helpful.

Clean, comfortable, functional rooms. Extremely convenient to the airport (10 minutes by car). One-block walk to eateries. The staff were efficient and very helpful. The private parking yard is small, but we got a spot even at 6:00 p.m. Excellent value for the price.

Bed was firm. Room was clean, but bathroom shower door needed a re-fresh at the bottom of the glass. People at front desk were great. No elevator for guests, only luggage.

Very good location. Near many restaurants and a supermarket and lovely water area. Room was great, except I wish these hotels would provide a comfortable chair instead of a desk type chair. Great shuttle to airport; city bus from airport to hotel not recommended.

Decent place to stay near Rome FCO airport. Shuttle was punctual and onsite. Great staff

This property advertised restaurant, bar/ lounge. It had none of these. Would have booked somewhere else.

Airport shuttle was very punctual. Hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Good AC. Comfortable bed. I picked the hotel because it said the rooms were soundproofed. But they are not. You can hear people talking in the hallway. Our room was small. The bathroom had mold in the shower tile grout. Overall - it sufficed for our overnight layover.

The room was pretty horrible but the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was terrible mold in the shower stall and the mildew smell was overpowering. We would never stay here again!

The directions for getting a shuttle from the airport to the hotel were not correct. After contacting the hotel a second time, we missed the van and was told it would be a one hour twenty minute wait for the next shuttle. The shower was extremely slow in draining and it appeared to have been taken apart and not fixed before we got there. The sheets had stains on them and did not present a welcoming environment. The shuttle in the morning ran every 1 1/2 hours. We ended up taking a ride share. The cost of the shuttle is 8 Euro per person each way. No indication of the cost when we booked. Pictures indicate an updated remodeled room. We obviously didn't get one.

We had a reservation for only one night and were flying home the next morning. Honestly, the only good part of this hotel was the proximity to the airport. When we arrived in the late evening, the property looked nice at first glance, but we quickly realized that was not actually the case upon arriving at our room, which was in the courtyard area. Upon opening the door we noticed a weird musty/moldy smell along with it being cold despite the AC being at 23 C. Next, we noticed a stronger moldy/musty faint sewage smell in the bathroom and found several areas of concern. Most evident issue was the lack of a proper shower floor which had different molds all over, and mold along the edges of the glass door. There was also a patch of mold on the ceiling.This brings me to the fact that the everything on the bed - comforter, blankets, sheets, pillows - were all damp somehow. If it wasn't so late, we would have requested another room. Honestly probably should have regardless as we suffered from allergies as a result of the mold. In addition, the bed was very squeaky, and the mini fridge was loud and made horrible noises. Lastly, when we booked there was supposed to be a breakfast buffet included, but that wasn't the case when we got there as they tried to have us pay for it - we declined. In addition, though I thought the airport shuttle was free, they wanted 10 euros per person for it - we took a taxi instead, and it cost us significantly less than this. DO NOT STAY HERE!

The staff at the hotel was helpful and courteous. My issue was with the the cleanliness of the shower. The shower was full of mold and what appeared to be rust stains.

Location is great. The facility is good for one night stay prior to departure. The bathroom smells badly. Staff is friendly. Price is good (there is additional city tax and the shuttle $)

Our room was not cleaned well on check in- coffee stains on the bedside table and bathroom walls were dirty. Could hear lots of noise from the hallway and the dishes being set up in the morning for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They beyond to help us sort out transit into Rome and the airport.

Although a modest hotel it was recently renovated and very clean. Attractively done. The staff is very helpful too. We thought it was closer to the airport but it wasn’t -nevertheless the well priced hotel shuttle was a good option.

The room is not as photos showed. This was one that wasn’t updated. Dirty floor, hair in the sink and stains on the sheets. The airport shuttle was not as advertised either. Instructions to reach the pickup location were not clear and timing of the shuttle is far and few. Cost of the airport shuttle is €10 for one person or €8 for more than one, per person, is high. Location is fine, plenty of food options.

Frequently in/out of FCO, we often need overnight hotels for convenience to the airport. Fiumicino is a good location for this as riverfront is lively and has some good food. Recently, they have generally been worse. Perhaps getting to the end of the season is the cause. This hotel was very highly rated, specifically for cleanliness. It was disappointing. Room #5 - walls thin, doors thunking through the night, clatter from breakfast setup from early morning; bed is in dire need of replacement, like a trampoline; dirty- trash from last tenant still in the bin, their contact lens stuck to the TOP of the nightstand, room consistently cleaned as though it were round…accumulated mold and mildew in/around shower…definitely not Covid sanitized. Generally unfriendly staff. Think they were all tired. We will move on to try another.

Airport shuttle was very punctual. Hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Good AC. Comfortable bed. I picked the hotel because it said the rooms were soundproofed. But they are not. You can hear people talking in the hallway. Our room was small. The bathroom had mold in the shower tile grout. Overall - it sufficed for our overnight layover.

Basic airport hotel option for 1 night stay before departure from Rome airport, they offer $10 shuttle. I wish they let guest know about shuttle service prior as I paid $30 taxi from Rome Airport train stop on way back from Amalfi Coast to get to this hotel night before my departure from Italy. Staff were really helpful. AC very loud in room. Rooms are spacious. It is 10-15 minutes from airport.

Staff does not answer the phone. Hot water lasts for 5mins, maybe. The patio door was left open by staff. Shuttle service is a joke. Room looked like it needed serious maintenence. The air conditioner was broken and was not stated until asked. Walls are paper thin.

The room has a big window overlooking the street. Unfortunately the curtains were useless. At night the lights from the street went through the window and in the morning around 5am, the room was all daylight. Very difficult to sleep and get any rest. The door to the bedroom doesn’t lock. I recommend that they do something about the window/curtains. When you have a 15 hour flight the next morning you need to get some sleep.

Very small rooms.

This property is more comparable to a motel than a hotel by U.S. standards. While the room was clean and the staff was friendly, the walls were thin, making it possible to hear TV noise from adjacent rooms. The room included an empty mini-fridge. This is a basic accommodation suitable mainly for overnight stays during transit.

Advertised as a WiFi and smart tv hotel , neither worked , talked to front seat about it and said nothing they can do cause room was far from router , which indicates they’re aware of problem , I asked if they could move us to a closer room and flat out said no , I would not stay here again .

Room was very small with a lack of storage. Walls between rooms are thin which made it easy to hear from adjacent rooms. Breakfast was a disappointment, both in menu choices and service.

Staff very courteous, room was very clean. Bed was not very comfortable.

The staff were great. Good area. Not very noise isolated

No Kleenex in room, half a roll of toilet paper. Breakfast lady was abrupt to all diners. Front desk ladies were very good.

Hotel Academy had the friendliest and the most helpful staff I have ever been around. I travel 5 months out of a year. I would give Hotel Academy 20 stars if I could. I stayed in Italy 4 weeks moving 4 times. Best hotel in my travels to Italy.

Super friendly staff!

No bar. Room very clean. Front staff friendly and kind. Breakfast staff rude/ wouldn't make eye contact/ pretended we weren't there.

Best check in and support we have had in awhile!

The property is conveniently located near the Rome (FCO) airport. I stayed there twice and enjoyed my stay there very much. That are great and lively restaurants which are short walking distance from the hotel. Most importantly, the staff was very friendly and helpful! In my last stay, I was about to miss my shuttle to the airport because I did not hear my alarm. The hotel receptionist on duty came to my door and told me that they'd hold the shuttle and it came back to pick me up. I really appreciated the service!

The front desk personnel were amazing They did everything to make my stay comfortable Amazing STAFF

This was our fourth stay at Hotel Academy. We came in 2018, 2022, and twice this October. The first three stays were wonderful, it is why we returned. However, this last stay was not very good. We were in one of the outside rooms and it was so humid in the room everything felt damp. The sheets on the bed were very damp and overall we felt like we were sleeping in a swamp. We did not sleep well and felt terrible on the morning from the dampness. The other concern was the very grouchy service person at breakfast. On both of our stays this month he was quite rude and he was coughing while making coffee. The front desk staff were very good and very helpful.

What an unexpected surprise, we booked this for the price. The staff was so helpful. Christian sat and chatted with us. They helped us book transport to our cruise. Told is where to go to get coffee and pastry in the morning that is super close and let us know where we could find a bank to get Euros. The bed wasn’t super comfortable but the AC worked like a dream. Wouid highly recommend.

A terrific little hotel, right off the main restaurant Street. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

If you need an inexpensive room near the Rome airport, this may fit the bill. The room, especially the bathroom was small but adequate. The staff was great and the location convenient to the airport. A shuttle was available. The breakfast was good. The place was clean. Would stay again. Would be convenient for quick visit to Ostia Antiqua or the beach.

This hotel is a great place to stay close to the Rome airport. The staff was great and the airport shuttle was easy. it is located close to very good restaurants. I would highly recommend Ristorante Seconda Riva.

We stayed one night after flying in from ATL, great location, shopping and dinning options, very walkable. We had a vehicle the onsite parking was a plus. Check in was pleasant, they offer airport shuttle to and from. I would stay again.

Location was the most important factor for us on this trip. The hotel was close to the airport and the beach. We could walk to the beach on our beach day. And when it came time to go to the airport, there was a shuttle at a reasonable price to transport us there.

Modern, clean hotel very convenient to Fiumicino as well as the beach and many restaurants. It was the perfect place to stay for a flight back home.

Very good location. Near many restaurants and a supermarket and lovely water area. Room was great, except I wish these hotels would provide a comfortable chair instead of a desk type chair. Great shuttle to airport; city bus from airport to hotel not recommended.

The location was perfect. Close to the airport but very quiet and quaint area with walking near the river canal and the sea. Lots of restaurants nearby as well. The staff were wonderful and made our stay very welcoming!

The location of this hotel is excellent; shops, restaurants, a Catholic Church, grocery stores, laundromat, and the walk by the canal. The staff is excellent; friendly and helpful.

Great hotel close to the airport. The town is small, not much to do if you want to visit the city of Rome it’s quite far.

Great location near plenty of restaurants. 10 min shuttle to airport

I picked this location as an affordable night stay near the Rome airport. I did see some negative reviews when booking, but went with price. This place has both positive and negative elements.

That being said, they provided a great breakfast with staff who made great cappuccino, they have a shuttle to/from the airport at a reasonable cost, and they were walking distance from some great dining.

Location and parking were great. Under renovation. Pillows were flat and smelled funny. Breakfast was just average.

The property was okay but needs to really look at the way the rooms are set up. We had no working USB ports, there was no type of shelving in the room or bathroom to put your personal items if you are staying more the a few days, beds not comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely horrible. When I asked the guy who was staffing the breakfast if this was all the options he said that was all items available. There were no hot food items offered. There was only 1 inch pastries, which were no way enjoyable, a couple of fruit items, warm juice and warm yogurt which was sour. I cannot believe you have to pay 5 euros for this garbage. You should be ashamed to even charge for this crap! Did not feel too safe staying here due to the fact that the way you have to lock the room is by using a door key to stay in or get out. If there was a fire in the room and someone is disorientated they may not make it out if they cannot find the key in any type of confusion. I booked this hotel because of having good reviews but I would not recommend staying at this hotel. I do have to say that the staff were very nice so I give a thumbs up for the staff.

The staff was very sweet but the listing said there was a bar and restaurant and there were neither. There were many good restaurants nearby but we were surprised by the misinformation. It was one of the reasons we selected the hotel as after a long day of travel easy onsite access to food and a drink is helpful.

Simple and clean. Excellent breakfast for the price. Friendly and helpful staff, helpful with our Rome plans in every way. Good airport transfers.

Really affordable considering how comfortable it is! There was an in room AC unit and a USB plug for my phone. Breakfast was nice and included fresh espresso. It’s a few blocks from a direct bus to Rome that only cost 7 Euro.

Great location. Large rooms. Breakfast okay. Staff were great.

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. The property was very close to the boardwalk with lots of seafood restaraunts to choose. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was a nice quiet are. This is a great place to stay because it is so close to the aiport. Shuttle service was great to have. The breakfast that was included was not the best, but the cappucino was so good. My husband and I highly recommend if you are looking for a one night stay in Fumicino and close to the airport, this is great!!

This property advertised restaurant, bar/ lounge. It had none of these. Would have booked somewhere else.

Seems like Hotels.com overestimated this spot. Bathroom shower pan didn’t drain so water went on floor. There is a shuttle to the airport but you must pay for it. There is no bar or restaurant. The gentleman checking us in was very nice and “threw in the buffet for breakfast”. Certainly glad we didn’t pay for it. It is close to the airport.
