We flew into Rome Ciampino airport quite late and needed somewhere handy to stay. I was not expecting great things from Hotel Meeting, but was pleasantly surprised - it turned out to be modern, stylish, clean... probably the best 3* I've been to.

Our room was large, comfortable and quiet, and the bathroom was immaculate and luxurious.

The location is the main issue - it's basically on an industrial estate just off the motorway. If you're using it as a base to explore Rome, I imagine this would be a big problem. But the airport is only a 5-min drive away - if you pick up a car at the airport like we did and manage to decipher the Italian road signs like we just about did - and so it is perfect and great value as a one-night stopover to or from the airport.

Hotel changed its shuttle rate from free, to 8 euro to 10 euro. It declined to have received any information about my reservation. This whole thing cost me an important vacation day. The lady at the desk was ignoring me because I booked through a web-page after she quoted a higher price. I had a hard time just to get back my passport from her. You should consider high taxi/shuttle fare when you consider this hotel. You are better of living in rome [use train if you are flying to ciampino].

My wife and I travelled to Rome Ciampino Airport, last Wednesday evening (13th july 2005) courtesy of Ryanair. We landed at 23.45 hours. The HERTZ Car Rental desk was still open for late arriving clients.
We were travelling over to Pescara for 5 nights, so we needed a hotel close to Ciampino for our first night stop-over.

The location was next to the 'Tangentiale' road junction, but despite it's position, our room wasn't noisy at all. We enjoyed a good first night sleep.

I located the hotel without too much trouble (despite the drive/journey taking place at 00.30) The Reception was manned by a delightful chap who made us most welcome. Overnight car-parking was free.

The hotel room was spotlessly clean. A wee bit on the 'compact' side, as was the Shower and WC ... but perfectly formed. Original parquet flooring and veneered doors and woodwork were in good order. approx 1.200 metres of open hanging space. There was AC, a TV and a computer point.

Breakfast next morning offered us: 3 juices; 2 Yogurts; Bread; 2 Pastry varieties; Cereal (CoCo Pops) meats of Mortadella & Salami + cheese. Tea, Coffee (Espresso and Cappucino), Milk, Water, Jams & Honey.
No fry-up for the all-day-breakfast 'wallahs'.

We booked the hotel through Ryanair's Hotel booking link .. £44 for the room, for both of us - B&B. That was cheaper than any other published rate I could find on the 'Net.

Although it wasn't close to Rome centre, the hotel made a perfect stop-over for travellers moving on to other destinations.

I'd certainly use it again.

All information given in good faith ... I hope this helps.

Just come back from Rome last week (21/06/05), and enjoyed staying at Hotel Meeting. The room was spacious, clean and the hotel staff were helpful.

The breakfast could have been better, as they only provided cakes and coffee. From my previous holidays, a nice hot breakfast tends to be much better!

If you arriving at Ciampino airpot, then the cheapest way is to catch a bus from the public stop at Ciampino, and get a bus to Anagnina, then from there,get number 503 bus to Bandanelli. The hotel is 2 minutes walk from here. This will cost you 1 Euro. If u attempt to catch a taxi, it will cost u 22 Euro's. What u can also do, is ring Hotel meeting and they will pick you up at a cost of 10 Euros.

The only problem I found with this hotel is waiting for buses. Sometimes they come every 10 minutes, sometimes every 30 mins! If u hate waiting for buses then I don’t think this hotel is for you, because you have to get a bus everywhere! And services stop at around 10-30pm, so u cant stay out that long. You would be better off living closer to the city or hiring a car, as taxi’s charge a very high rate!
