1)It's a new and good looking hotel, but it needs to be maintained much better. 2)The receptionist (on duty that day) was able to answer to phone only... I had to go around the hotel looking by myself for a multiple plug... The price is a little expensive.

A plain hotel (think Motel6) but it worked fine as a 'night before the flight' stopover. The shuttle was on time and cheaper than a taxi. Hotel staff was pleasant and gave us free ice. We had an excellent dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. Hotel breakfast was ok.

For an airport, quick stop, the hotel is acceptable, but the staff was not particularly friendly nor helpful....not the hospitality or care I am use to in Italy. They were just doing their job....certainly nothing more than that. One person, a bellboy from Kenya, was particularly nice and helpful. Everyone else could have cared less. The hotel was OK, & the service to the airport was dependable and fine, but I would only stay here again if there was nothing else available.

If you have to spend a night before to fly, it's ok. Otherwise it's a hotel for "commercial traveller"! The relationship between price/quality is not enough favourable.

Finding the shuttle at the airport was a frustrating experience with a 45 minute wait added on, although it was mostly due to not speaking Italian well enough- and when I needed change the desk did not have any. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, and breakfast was the best we had out of 4 hotels we stayed at on our trip. The variety was wonderful. Also, they had no electric converters, which was a surprise since even the smallest bed and breakfast in Venice had converters. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I thought the hotel was much closer to the airport from the description than it actually was. We stayed in a triple and it was very comfortable, with the best bathroom and shower we had on our trip.

We chose Club Isola Sacra because it is close to the airport and we had an early flight. The hotel had a very loud party (amplified music, disc jockey) going on outside until midnight. We got little sleep. We had to return a rental car and asked the desk clerk for directions. He responded in a very bored way to us, and to another guest. We ate in the restaurant. The pasta was drowning in oil and salt. The food was served in the wrong order. It was the only bad meal we had in Italy. We would not recommend this hotel.

An adequate hotel for staying close to the airport. Comfortable room, a little on the smaller side compared with our other Italy accomodations. Breakfast was adequate - but coffee / tea from a machine is not inspiring. The internet computer in the lobby ate my money without delivering access to the internet. The hotel clerk's reaction: too bad. The computers belong to an outside vendor and apparently the hotel takes no responsibility for them. If they have a policy as to how to handle their malfunction, this clerk was not aware of it. We enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant down the street very much.

The hotel is rather difficult to find. We had an early morning flight but the front desk did not provide the promised wake-up call. On the expensive side IMO for the value offered. Nice bars and restaurants just 100 yards away. Front desk gave excellent directions to the airport, though.

we stayed one night at the Hotel Isola Sacra and were glad to leave, the staff at the reception on arrival were not very pleasant, the room we had was a double but not very spacious, in the bathroom the toilet seat was broken. On our arrival we were told that the restaurant was not open for evening meals and were told to go to a restaurant up the road, we dont think this is good enough. Also we were charged €12 for the hotel mini bus to take us to the airport, the local bus service only charges 50c per person from the airport to the hotel!

O'k. This is my last set of comments which I hope gets some action. Overall the room itself and the hotel was fine. I did not like the women at the front desk. I also did not like the difficulty we had finding the van at the airport since you failed to state it was a Marriot van. We had to pay E6.00 and then the next day the shuttle or van was not leaving until the time we had to be on the plane so it cost us E25.00 for a cab. I believe we were deceived as in the add you stated the shuttle was free and did not state times it was running.I further believe we should be reimbursed the full E36.00 Carol Hale

We ate at a restaurant a few blocks from the hotel. It was the best food we had the whole trip and the most reasonably priced. The hotelroom was not fancy but it was bigger than some we had stayed in and was clean. We also were pleased with them having a shuttle to the airport.

Entramos el 1 de octubre para salir el dos del mismo mes. Sólo encontré en falta, el servicio del bar (no tenian cerveza de barril). Por lo demas la habitación espaciosa. La nuestra daba a un prado de cesped super tranquilo(hab.216). Tiene un mini bus con seis plazas que te lleva o recoge del aeropuerto por seis euros previa reserva. Resumiendo, muy comodo para los que tienen que coger un vuelo.

The hotel is located 5min from the airport which is very useful. The private bathroom is quite big and very clean. For a one night stay the room is big enough. The price is a little bit too expensive for the service provided but in general it's fine.

Disinterested staff, gave us very poor directions, sending us off on a very long and dangerous walk; brushed us off when we explained the difference between 2 miles and 10 miles afterward with 'ah, well'. We found it substandard in all ways. Woud not go back.

We stayed here strictly because it was very close to the airport ( about 3 km) and we had stayed before.Staff were mostly friendly and helpful, except for one manager who was lackadaisacal. Most staff were nice, happy to speak Italian to me and listen to my italian but also easily able to speak English.Be advised, if you want to book the hotel-sponsored bus into the center of Rome, ( it goes into and leaves from Piazza Venezia) give them some notice ( maybe a day) We wanted to go in at 3:00 and the bus was not avaliable for that run, though it is listed as a scheduled time. We took a cab and it was 85 Euro without tip. We had to do it as we were meeting a friend and did not want to drive in in our rental car and become lost or not be able to drink wine with dinner! Luckily we had a great driver who really talked to us and pointed out the sights.ALSO when you return, make certain you know where the bus will meet you. We were told to wait by the three columns ( Troia Collona) and in fact the bus breezed right by there and my husband chased it to the actual stop, on the back side of the Marriott. If we had not caught the bus we would have been out another 85 Euro, so this is serious. When we told the staff about this they were deadpan---not apologetic.There is a sweet little restaurant called "La Locanda" about 2 blocks outside the hotel gates if you take a left when you exit. The food is excellent and the staff are nice.We ate there twice. Never tried the hotel dinners the 2 night we stayed.The breakfasts are bountiful, but you need to ask for cappuccino--it is free but is seemed unless you asked you would not get any----Overall a fine place to stay if you want to be close to the airport. Not charming, but clean, comfy and functional.

We took this hotel because of the location near the airport. Everything was good except the transportation to the airport. The 6:30 AM van was full and we had to take a taxi for 30 euros just 2 kilometers.

We stayed one night before flying out from FCO Rome, and this turned out to be a very good decision. The train to the airport the night before, was stuck on its tracks and a 30 min trip turned out to take 3 hours. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30 pm and fortunately the hotel restaurant served up a very good meal. The hotel was quite basic but suited its purpose and was medium in price.

We were so disappointed with this property. If you want to stay near the airport choose the Hilton. Even though the Hilton is more expensive the price difference will be made up by the taxi ride to the airport whereas you could walk from the Hilton. This hotel is in the middle of nowhere. The neighbourhood is not the best. Do not go to Ostia down the road. Completely trashy and the taxi back was unbelievably expensive. The bus service to the airport do not leave atva convenient time and the taxi tarriff started from a really high amount. We questioned the driver and he started off in a flurry of Italian. The room is so small. It was like staying in a cupbouard. The surrounding are tacky and we were so unimpressed and were looking forward to getting out of the country. It was really depressing. Please do yourself a favour and do not stay here.

The shuttle service was totally unacceptable viewing what was announced in the web site. Arriving on saturday at 12h00 and leaving early sunday, we had to pay 40 euros for taxi service to comme from the airport and go to the airport. We in fact would be expceting to be reimbursed for those expenses. It pushes the price of the room UP ! Unexpected and unpleased by the situation

Very adequate for an airport hotel. However, shuttle is a problem. It doesn't run from 10:30 in the morning until 3:00 and is very difficult to locate. We never did find it and needed to take a taxi. Restaurant is very good.

Club Isola Sacra was a convenient 5 min shuttle ride from the airport with little traffic. The bathroom was clean and modern, TV good, bed comfortable with an extra pillow. Adjoining restaurant was excellent and affordable. Hotel is also good value. Internet reservations a plus! We returned at the end of our vacation to have quick access back to the airport.

our room was huge,clean, and comfortable. there was a shuttle that picked us up at the airport, brought us to the hotel, and then returned us the next morning. the staff was wonderful,very friendly. the room rate included a continental breakfast that was great. the only negative was the location. the hotel is in the middle of a residential area, making it hard to explore one's surroundings. the hotel has a restaurant that isn't open on Sunday's for supper,but there is a wonderful restaurant within walking distance that served up a great meal.

The hotel is located in a residential neighborhood. Thus, small restaurants and shopping is available nearby. The only problem was that the hotel shuttle runs only several times a day. If you get to the airport after the early afternoon shuttle leaves, you might have to wait two hours for the shuttle.

Choose this hotel for one night, if you have to stay close to the airport. Shuttle service described in the offer works limited hours on workdays and even less during weekends. The cost of getting a taxi from the airport varies from 25 to 40 euros and depends on the driver's mood. Taxi to Rome is 50 euros one way. The additional cost of transportation should be added to the cost of stay. Altogether it is probably better to stay in Rome and use the train to the airport at about 11 euro one way.

The property was quite adequate for an airport hotel.Before we left, I had queried the availability of the shuttle bus,and they had cofirmed by email that it was available on weekdays until 9pm. On arrival(8:30pm)we rang and were told that we were too late, and would have to get a taxi! When we got to the hotel the girl on the front desk was very offhand, which was a shame, because the rest of our experiences in the hotel were quite good. I think our problems were more a function of her than the overall management, but I'd advise others to be sure about the shuttle bus details before they arrive.
