Guest Reviews
Location
The location is particularly convenient for travelers needing proximity to Fiumicino Airport, just a 10-15 minute drive away. It's an ideal spot for a short stay before flying out of Rome, offering a serene escape from the city's bustle. While the hotel's immediate surroundings are not the most glamorous, the beachfront and marina areas compensate with their charm and selection of dining options.
The breakfast buffet receives high praise for its variety, especially by Italian standards. The hotel's friendly staff and clean, well-maintained rooms add to the overall positive experience. Perfect for those who want to balance city exploration with some relaxing beach time, albeit far from the city center, this hotel proves to be a great choice for both business appointments and leisure stays.
Breakfast
While some guests feel the breakfast meets their needs with plentiful and tasty offerings, others note a lack of variety and occasional issues with buffet replenishment. A few expressed dissatisfaction with the quality, notably mentioning shortcomings such as overcooked scrambled eggs and monotonous choices. Despite these drawbacks, many still find the breakfast to be good, satisfying and at times, fantastic.
Guests looking for a simple, filling meal will find the breakfast at Smy Aran Blu Roma Mare more than sufficient, though those with high expectations for a diverse spread may find it a bit underwhelming. Overall, the breakfast experience is pleasant and widely appreciated, providing a solid foundation for the day ahead.
Dinner
However, the hotel's location compensates for this shortfall with its proximity to many appealing dining options. Guests can explore a variety of nice restaurants nearby, particularly those at the Marina promenade. Additionally, local beach vendors add charm to the dining experience by offering roasted corn and cocktails directly to beachgoers. While the hotel’s rooftop bar and private garage are appreciated amenities, the overall dining convenience is more heavily reliant on the surrounding area rather than the hotel itself.
Rooms
However, not all experiences were universally positive. Some guests noted issues with outdated or worn-out furniture, noisy environments and the need for room renovations. A few mentioned minor maintenance problems such as broken fixtures, a malfunctioning TV or a lack of cleanliness. Additionally, certain rooms faced less desirable views and a few were described as small or dimly lit.
Despite these drawbacks, the majority of reviews commend the rooms for their size, cleanliness and exceptional views, making Smy Aran Blu Roma Mare a worthwhile choice for travelers seeking comfortable accommodations with scenic views of the sea and marina.
Beds
However, there were notable issues too. A few guests mentioned uncomfortable mattresses and difficulties compromising on sleep quality. Problems like stained and torn sheets, inoperable lamps and small cabinets were also pointed out. Despite these drawbacks, the general sentiment leans towards a comfortable stay, thanks to the mostly positive feedback on bed comfort.
Cleanliness
The hotel's cleanliness extends beyond the rooms with guests appreciating the overall spotless environment of the property. Many find the design stylish and modern, contributing to a pleasant stay. The spacious rooms offer great views, often exactly as depicted in promotional images and the big, well-kept bathrooms add to the comfort.
Despite a few reports of cleanliness issues, such as mold, dust or the occasional insect, the general feedback on hygiene is positive. A few reviews noted specific cleanliness challenges with bed linens or the presence of ants, but these appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
Alongside the cleanliness, guests highlight the beautiful location of the hotel and the very good breakfast, which adds to the overall satisfaction of staying at Smy Aran Blu Roma Mare. While some rooms and aspects of the hotel could benefit from minor renovations, the overall experience remains largely positive, marked by an immaculate and cozy ambiance.
Staff
However, there were mentions of inconsistencies with a few guests experiencing unfriendly, rude or indifferent behavior from certain staff members. Despite these isolated instances, the majority of reviews reflect a positive staff interaction with numerous guests commending specific acts of kindness, such as help with transportation and quick problem-solving.
The hotel's cleanliness and service standards were also appreciated, along with the quality of breakfast offered. Reflecting a mix of feedback, the staff's overall performance appears to be a significant contributor to the guests' satisfaction, despite some areas requiring improvement.
Wi-Fi
Beach
However, some guests noted that the beach's suitability varied; while some described it as beautiful, others mentioned parts of it being small and rocky with sections that cater specifically to dog owners. This means the beach can be ideal for those traveling with pets, but less appealing for non-animal lovers. A few reviewers were disappointed by areas that appeared dirty or full of garbage. Despite some drawbacks, the location’s accessibility to a clean, sandy beach and nearby marina with restaurants helped balance the overall experience.
Parking
Family
This hotel proves to be a decent family choice with enough space and amenities for kids, making it suitable for long stays. It also offers carousels for children, adding an extra touch of fun. Notably, the area around the hotel is quiet and well-suited for family recreation.
While some reviews suggest it may not be ideal for very young children or babies, the hotel remains a good spot for family activities and is recommended for those with slightly older kids. Verified as a family property, it stands as a good option near family areas, providing a pleasant stay for those spending quality time together.
4 Star
Breakfast is noted as relatively large and varied for Italy, though some guests find it lacking compared to typical four-star experiences. Despite these setbacks, the hotel is described as a "pretty nice structure" and "definitely a recommended option for visiting Rome," though it doesn't consistently meet the high expectations of a four-star establishment.
Business
Accessible
Services and accessibility in the vicinity are good with an accessible beach and proximity to various services. Additionally, an airport shuttle can be arranged, although some guests noted that the advice on this service could be more helpful. While the elevator's display needs maintenance and safety could be improved, the overall accessibility of rooms and facilities is commendable. The presence of helpful staff, particularly a younger lady noted for her niceness, enhances the welcoming atmosphere.
Dog Friendly
Despite the overall positive atmosphere, there are concerns about dog fouling with some guests noting issues with dog feces and urine, especially on the promenade. However, the system in place for registering owners' information and a general dog-friendly ambiance helps mitigate these issues. The hotel welcomes dogs of all sizes, which is appreciated by guests with larger breeds. Nonetheless, the abundance of dogs in the hotel does mean that barking can occasionally be a disturbance.
Overall, Smy Aran Blu Roma Mare offers a well-received, dog-friendly experience, particularly due to its excellent beachfront location and accommodating services for pets.
