La Dolce Sosta

Very nice and clean. Property manager is excellent and helpful. Great location to everything. Highly recommend.

We picked this property from home having never been to Rome. Inexpensive rooms near FCO are hard to find. What we didn't realize was that "near" is relative and you can't walk to FCO. you're going to take a taxi regardless, so getting close maybe isn't as important as we thought. Having said all that, this is a very inexpensive room. The listing says there is no on site check in desk, which is true, but the property management company has an office staffed from 8 AM to 8 PM within walking distance. This is really nice if arriving before check in, or later in the day. The staff is kind and helpful. The room is nothing to brag about though. It was in dire need of remodeling. There was abandoned plumbing sticking out of the walls, blinds were stuck, floor tiles needed replaced etc. It was clean though and all we were doing was staging ourselves close to the airport for an early flight out, so it was sufficient. The neighborhood felt safe. I have no complaints, but it is by far the least nice room we stayed in for 5 weeks in Italy and we were going budget most of the time.

Many things to improve La Dolce Sosta! 1. There was vital information about how to check in (keys needed to be picked up in a different location) to the hotel that was stuck in the bottom of the confirmation email. Such information must be much clearer, especially when you arrive with a kid in the evening. Not ok! 2. Very difficult to find the actual place where the hotel was located. No signs whatsover. This needs to be improved. 3. The hotel stated they had try to reach us all day. That is not true since I had no incoming/missed calls. 4. The three phone numbers available to me to reach the hotel did not workl. We were lucky to find a person who could call the hotel. 5. Once we got in contact and found the place to pick up the key, they gave us the wrong keys. None of the three keys worked. In the end the had to combine keys from different key chains to get it to work. 6. No sympathy whatsover from the staff about the above issues and the fact that we had a 4 year old child that needed to sleep. 7. We booked family room. It was not a family room, it was two person room with a extra bed stuck in there. Not ok! 8. The extra bed was broken so that we had to use a bag do get proper support for my legs (I did not want my daugther to sleep on a broken bed).
