Place next to Fiumicino

[DonPolo]

I have a flight leaving Fiumicino airport for Australia at 11am on 26 September having arrived the day before. I wouldn't mind visiting the centre of Rome on 25 for a bit but I was thinking of staying close to the airport so arriving at around 8.30 for the departure wasn't too hard. Any suggestions?

There are several hotels right at the airport- you can walk to your gate. You can take the metro from the terminal into Rome too. One is the Hilton but i think there are others too.

I think most people here would advise staying in Rome if your flight isn't super-early and you want to have time in Rome. In our trips the last two years, when we or people with us had very early flights, we've stayed at the airport Hilton, which has a walkway to the terminal. Both years, it had plumbing problems but they fixed them; it's showing some age but being renovated, as I understand. The Hilton Garden Inn is on the airport grounds but needs to be accessed by shuttle. In the town of Fiumicino, some Slow people have recommended this place with a shuttle:

In similar circumstances, we usually opt for the airport Hilton, tired though it is. As already indicated, it is reassuringly and conveniently connected directly to the airport terminals, though a bit of a hike nonetheless. We try to check-in in time to purchase seats on the 2:30 pm hotel shuttle into Rome - 22 euro/person round trip with conveniently located drop off and return pickup by the ‘mouth of truth’. But latest return back to the hotel by this shuttle is 9:00 pm, which can be limiting. The hotel does sell a very decent buffet breakfast starting around 6:30 a.m. (a bit cheaper if you reserve a room with breakfast included). When we don’t want to be confined to a 9 pm curfew or when spending more than one night in Rome, we usually stay at a hopefully more charming place in the centro instead and take a 55euro taxi to our departure terminal (about an hour’s journey) in the morning. Many of our sea food loving friends prefer to hang out in the harbor area of the very nearby town of Fiumicino which has several bnb’s with shuttle service.

We have stayed twice at this apartment in Fiumicinio, including at the end of October last year. It's affordable and very quiet, near the banks of the Tiber and about 10 minutes from the airport. It has 2 bedrooms and a nice kitchen. Unfortunately, it's only available via AirBnb if that matters to you. The owner, Alessio called a cab for us both times we've stayed there. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19805836?source_impression_id=p3_1750790266_P38_KlxCS8LCswkl

Ignore my previous post. Alessio has changed the rental period for his apartment to 3 days minimum, so it's no longer available for just an overnight.
