Guest Reviews
Location
The setting is ideal for those interested in visiting the historical ruins of Ostia Antica, which are located close by. Additionally, it offers a balance between city and beach, being a short distance from Ostia Lido and about 30 minutes from the heart of Rome.
For guests with cars, the hotel provides ample parking and is situated conveniently off a highway, though soundproof windows ensure a quiet stay. The surroundings include local restaurants, shops and the beach, enhancing the experience. The hotel's calm ambiance, cleanliness and supportive staff add to its appeal, making it a favored choice for both business trips and leisure visits. However, it should be noted that some guests felt the area was somewhat remote without much within walking distance and the location's description wasn't always clear, which may require travelers to plan accordingly.
Breakfast
However, there are several areas for improvement. Many guests found the breakfast limited and basic, often noting a lack of savory options and the predominance of sweets such as croissants and cakes. Some were disappointed by the absence of eggs early in the morning or noted that gluten and dairy-free options were not available. Others mentioned that the breakfast buffet was overpriced and not worth the additional cost with some items being low-quality or even inedible.
The presentation and quality of the breakfast have also been critiqued with some guests reporting issues such as flies on the buffet and discrepancies between the buffet offered and the pictures on the website. The fact that breakfast is not always included in the booking cost has also been a point of contention.
Overall, while some guests had a satisfying breakfast experience, others felt that the hotel could significantly improve the variety, quality and value of its breakfast offerings.
Dinner
While the hotel features a small bar offering coffee, drinks and snacks, it doesn't compensate for the lack of a full-service restaurant. Limited meal choices and the inability to prepare simple meals, such as pasta for children, pose a challenge for some guests. Nonetheless, positive aspects like an excellent breakfast, efficient airport shuttle service and a nice pool with friendly staff add value to stays at the hotel.
Despite its proximity to the highways and some distance from major urban areas, the convenience of nearby restaurants, particularly the popular Al Bajniero, offers a decent solution for dining needs. Overall, while the hotel's food and beverage offerings are restricted, the nearby dining establishments generally meet the guests' culinary expectations.
Rooms
However, the rooms show signs of aging and could benefit from some refurbishment and better maintenance. Issues such as small bathrooms, old and outdated furniture, peeling wallpaper, moldy walls and broken fixtures like shower heads and refrigerators were mentioned. Some guests experienced poor sound insulation and noise could be an issue. Air conditioning was not always effective or was noisy, leading to uncomfortable room temperatures.
The hotel's infrastructure, including the room interiors, are in dire need of updates to meet modern standards. The decor is described as old, basic and sometimes damaged and the overall ambiance can feel outdated. A few rooms had specific cleanliness issues, such as dirty refrigerators, ants or musty smells, which detracted from the overall experience.
In summary, while the cleanliness and daily maintenance of the rooms at Ostia Antica Park Hotel & Spa are commendable, the hotel's aging infrastructure and small room sizes may impact the overall comfort and enjoyment of a stay.
Beds
However, opinions on bed comfort can be mixed. While many appreciate the firmness and good quality of the mattresses, others find certain beds too hard or the pillows flat and uncomfortable. Specific mentions of small and tiny beds, as well as incidents of guests feeling springs in the mattress, suggest room for improvement.
The rooms, in general, receive favorable reviews for their spaciousness and the presence of double beds, although there are occasional comments about the high price relative to room size and comfort. The hotel staff is noted for its friendliness, which contributes positively to the overall guest experience.
Cleanliness
The hotel's public areas and common spaces also received favorable comments for being clean and well-organized. The staff, including receptionists and cleaning personnel, was frequently praised for their helpfulness and friendliness, which likely enhanced the guest experience.
However, there were some concerns raised regarding specific areas. The pool received criticism for being dirty and there were complaints about moldy walls and unclean bathrooms in some instances. Issues such as badly stained bathroom tiles and general neglect in maintenance detracted from the otherwise positive impressions.
Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's cleanliness was often cited as a strong point with multiple mentions of the premises being cleaner than anticipated and clean mattresses and bathrooms contributing to guest comfort.
Staff
The hotel's team appears to excel in creating a welcoming environment, being always available to meet guests' needs and quick to resolve any issues. The multilingual staff enhance the experience by effectively communicating with international visitors. Despite a few isolated incidents involving less satisfactory interactions, the overwhelming sentiment is one of high regard for the staff's friendliness and willingness to help.
Overall, the positive feedback on the staff underscores the hotel's commitment to providing excellent service, contributing significantly to guests' pleasant experiences at this well-maintained property.

Pool
However, some guests encountered issues such as needing to pay for pool access and occasional maintenance problems, including cloudy water and excessive chlorine. There are mentions of the pool being either too small or too crowded, particularly with limited seating and the practice of reserving sunbeds early in the morning. At times, the pool was found to be poorly maintained or even unusable with reports of dirtiness and unwanted behaviors like smoking. While the pool experiences can vary, the hotel’s amenities, such as the spa and its strategic location, continue to attract guests.
Parking
Although some noted that the parking could be a bit crowded at times, the majority of the feedback highlights the abundance of space available. The hotel also provides a large outdoor parking area, making it suitable for larger vehicles or those preferring outdoor options. The parking arrangements were generally well-received with guests appreciating the peace of mind afforded by secured and private parking areas.
Overall, Ostia Antica Park Hotel & Spa's parking facilities are well-regarded for their convenience, security and availability, contributing positively to the overall guest experience.
Family
However, some reviews highlight areas that need improvement, such as rooms deemed unsuitable for families and occasional disturbances that may affect younger guests. In summary, while the hotel has many merits for family stays, certain aspects may require attention to better accommodate all family needs.
3 Star
However, some aspects fell short of the mark. Guests reported issues such as a noisy air conditioning system and the need for frequent bathroom repairs, which detracts from the overall experience. The lobby's cleanliness and the quality of the furniture did not meet some guests' expectations, contributing to a perception that the hotel leans closer to a two-star rating for certain visitors.
Despite these challenges, the hotel's proximity to the airport is a noted advantage, although some guests felt the service could be more efficient. For its class, the bed's comfort is seen as an area for improvement, as restful sleep is a fundamental need for any traveler.
In conclusion, Ostia Antica Park Hotel & Spa offers a generally positive experience consistent with its three-star rating with standout service but room for improvement in some facilities and amenities.
