Well, what can I say? We stayed one night there because it was close to the airport in Rome. We wanted something on the mediterranean. I was told it was a 4 star. We did not feel safe when we pulled up to the front. It was isolated feeling. There was parking but it was very tight getting our small... More

We chose this hotel to be close to the airport for an early-morning flight. The hotel was nearly empty but we were given a very poor room in the back. We requested to be moved to the beach side and agreed to pay an upcharge which they ended up not assessing. The room was much nicer but all the hotel's... More

We spent two nights at the Aran Blu at the end of our Italian vacation. We had stayed at many stellar properties and this hotel was somewhat of a disappointment. The location is good for traveling to the airport and has a nice view of the sea. The room was somewhat small. It was clean although the carpet was worn... More

Good hotel with modern design. Breakfast is rather poor, there's no good expresso :) If you travel in cold time of the year, be aware that to go downstairs (ex. for breakfast) you'll have to pass the out-side zone on your floor, because the lift is situated separately from main buildings (between them). That's very uncomfortable, if it's raining &... More

If you are in Rome by car, a good alternative could be to stay in Ostia, a nice sea-small town, just few km away from Rome. In such respect the Aran Hotel is a very good choice: directly in front of the beach, this is a nice and modern hotel with nice decorated rooms and with an excellent quality/price ratio.... More

We spent a night at the Aran Blu in order to drive to the ruins in Ostia Antica before driving to Fiumicino airport. It was an excellent choice - we had chosen a room with a sea view and in fact this had a charming, spacious balcony overlooking the beach and the marina. Our room was comfortable and modern with...

After reading all of the reviews, we were very skeptical about this hotel. We stayed at the Aran Blu for one night after a 12 day cruise, just to relax. We had a 6:45 am flight the next morning. I booked through Expedia one year earlier. We arrived at 10:00 am and were told that our room would be ready... More

* We booked another hotel for our last night in Italy. They didn't have internet availability in the rooms. I drove to Aran Blu and inquired as to availability, internet access and price. All was OK except internet was available in room by cable, no wi-fi. My netbook is wi-fi only. The front desk recommended a room over the public... More
