Fiumicino Fregenae Hotels

Hi, don’t give me wrong, it’s not a bad hotel! Low score is not towards the hotel but to the FCO. I got a late arrival flight, and were mind set for a rip off taxi. Yet, I was in lieu but all of sudden told that I need to go to the other side to take a taxi, by the ground transportation control personnel. Yap, I obeyed and went there, and took a taxi. There we go! The start of the scam. 85 euro, I took that, no problem, since it was 1:00 AM, and I do respect people work that shift. I can see the scanner to charge on CC, but I was told I have to pay cash, which is also ok. I am not ready for that much cash, and we went to an ATM, and it didn’t work ofc since it’s an international transaction. So, I was asked for $150 for the total. Wait a minute, $150 = €85? I am at least an elementary graduate man, and I do know the math. After all the mouthwatering drying process, I was off the hook, by telling I don’t mind to be offloaded and got police attended. Finally, I checked in the hotel 2:00 AM or so and by then I started the good time. Nice front desk, and more than expected room space. The location is not really good, but the scenery is perfect. The breakfast is a good start, and once I decided I will go to Rome by public transportation, I do find the option. That’s the story: no complain to the hotel, but not feeling so well with FCO. Overall, do money change as more than you thought before you are in Rome.

Marco, who greeted us was so very welcoming, he explained how everything worked, arranged a friend of his to give us a lift to the airport the next morning. We were starving when we arrived late, on a Sunday evening. He found us somewhere to eat and let the restaurant know that we were on our way. The room was fine, a little tired, but suited our needs, as we were only there for one night, before flying out of Rome Fiumicino. Thanks Marco for all your help. Jo & Graeme

Only here for 1 night on a stop over from our flight before we reached our town in Italy. A very comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. Amazing buffet breakfast - definitely worth paying for. Have been to Italy countless times and many meals eaten however the best so far was at this hotel restaurant.

In terms of its location, it’s not the best choice; yet, economically speaking, it worths what’s you’ve paid for. It’s in a little town aside of the airport, and it has everything you want to kill a night for the next morning flight. It’s close to the airport, but FREENOW over there is lagging even with pre booking. I have to use Uber in the morning, and amazingly Uber worked. Be prepared for early sleep since there is no too many night live spots.
