Located
near Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Fiumicino, the three-pearl BEST WESTERN Hotel Riviera is convenient for
travelers catching early morning flights. Rooms are basic, but clean and homey, though bathrooms are small and equipped with tiny showers. Some of the rooms command sea
views (the beach is a block away), and the Junior Suite even offers a large furnished terrace.
The hotel operates a convenient shuttle service to nearby places of interest (for an extra fee), including the airport and Rome city center, which is a
45-minute drive away. Other amenities include a free breakfast buffet, free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, and a small lobby bar. For something with more features, travelers might want to check out the BEST WESTERN Hotel Rome Airport, which offers an outdoor pool and a fitness center, though rates are higher.
Scene
Mid-range chain hotel popular with couples and families headed to the airport
Located
on a quiet residential street in Fiumicino, only a block away from
the beach, BEST WESTERN Hotel Riviera occupies a three-story
villa-style building with a pink facade. The public spaces are neat
and tidy, and exceptionally well-maintained. A large inner courtyard
offers tables and chairs where guests can relax, while the outdoor
terrace is a pleasant place to enjoy a drink from the bar. The
reception area is spacious with beige tiled floors and wood-paneled
walls, but apart from the reception counter and a large leather
Chesterfield, it's quite bare. The carpeted hallways are wallpapered
in red and beige and decorated with a few colorful abstract
paintings. The hotel is especially popular with couples and families vacationing together in the region. Many stay here for the proximity to the airport so they can catch an early morning flight or a cruise
from the nearby port.
Location
Close to Leonardo da Vinci International Airport
BEST
WESTERN Hotel Riviera is located in the coastal town of Fiumicino,
about a 10-minute drive to the Leonardo da Vinci International
Airport. The beach is only a block away from the hotel, and there are seafood restaurants, pizzerias, and supermarkets
located within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel's shuttle
service can be booked for trips to the airport and local places of
interest, like the Fiera di Roma exhibition center (20-minute drive),
the excavations at Ostia Antica (12-minute drive), the 15th-century papal fortress Castello di Giulio II (12-minute drive), and the port at
Civitavecchia (60-minute drive). The shuttle can also be used to
reach Rome city center, which is a 45-minute drive away.
Rooms
Simple, spotless rooms with homey decor and modern bathrooms
Guest rooms here are spotlessly clean and
decorated in a simple and classic style, though it leans toward old fashioned. The floors are covered in light beige tiles, while wooden furnishings are paired with red curtains and patterned bedspreads that add a splash of color. The
bathrooms are equally spotless, though a bit small, with elegant beige tiling, tiny shower stalls, and bidets, plus toiletries and hairdryers are provided. Some guest rooms have sea
views, while the Junior Suite includes a pleasant terrace with sun
loungers, as well as a separate sitting area. All rooms are
outfitted with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, work desks, safes, free bottled water, and free Wi-Fi. Tea- and coffee-making facilities as well as irons and ironing boards are available upon request from reception.
Features
Small lobby bar, shuttle service, and freebies including breakfast, Wi-Fi, and bicycle rentals
Though it's missing a few features -- notably a full restaurant -- the BEST WESTERN Hotel Riviera has a fair amount of amenities to keep guests comfortable. A
free continental buffet breakfast is served every morning and includes gluten-free options. An on-site bar adjacent to
the reception area is open 24-hours, and serves hot drinks and
alcoholic beverages. The hotel's shuttle service can be booked for an
extra fee and is available to take guests to Leonardo da Vinci
International Airport, Fiera di Roma exhibition centre, the
excavations at Ostia Antica, the port at Civitavecchia, and Rome city
center. A computer is available for guests' use in a corner of the bar
area, and free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the
hotel. Other freebies include parking, bicycle rentals, and luggage storage.
Laundry services are available for an extra fee. A few vending
machines in the bar area sell cold drinks as well as tea and coffee. Pets are allowed on request.
