Now that you are here on the Italy board, if you look down the board you will see several mentions of the Hilton, which is on airport property, a short walk from the terminals. It is a very nice hotel, fantastic buffet breakfast. Easy to use at the airport.

The two usually recommended are the Hilton on the airport property and the Hilton Garden Inn, a short shuttle bus away from the airport.

 

I've always stayed at the Hilton on-site.

....and I'm one who has used the Hilton Garden Inn (on the airport property also, but not attached to the airport. They have a very convenient shuttle that runs all hours and will drop you at the correct concourse, whereas the walk from the regular Hilton can be long-ish if you have a lot of luggage or if your concourse is not one of the closer ones.

 

The hotel is nothing special but it is clean, quiet, convenient and has a good breakfast.

C42 do you have any experience with Hilton Garden Inn Rome Claridge. we are going to stay in Rome for 2 or 3 days before 4th july cruise and was wondering if this was a good location. I know prob better to stay at a local hotel but its free with Hilton Honor points

How would you plan to get around?  The hotel you are looking at is a 45 to 50 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, and another 15 minutes if you wanted to get to the Colosseum or Forum on foot. If you are going to depend on taxis to get back and forth, you'll eat up much of your savings. Even your closest Metro stop (Sant'Agnese/Annibaliano) is about a 30-minute walk.

 

Plus I think the hotel is located outside the Aurelian walls, which means you would not be eligible for the "special" fixed taxi fare from the airport into the city. Private transportation may or may not charge you more.

 

My advice would be to save your points for elsewhere. With only 2-3 days in Rome, you don't want to spend all your time getting from place to place.
