Hotel Near FCO (Rome) 1 Night + Questions

I've stayed at the Hilton that's connected to the airport because we had an early flight the next morning and had driven in from Umbria region. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet and the location can't be beat - it's a relatively short walk to the terminal with no need to hassle with shuttle - just follow the signs and walk directly to the terminal. The food in the restaurant was unmemorable - it's basic hotel food. The breakfast buffet was pretty large and substantial. The dinner the night before in the restaurant was ok, nothing special. Again the biggest thing going for it is location. See if you can get a better rate by using a discount such as AAA, AARP or through the Hilton website directly.

I stayed at the FCO Airport Hilton back in November - it's main selling point is that it's connected to to Terminal via a walkway - and it's a bit of a walk. We had to be at the airport to check in at 6:30, so it was a convenient, if somewhat pricey option.

Friends ate dinner at the restaurant and said it was OK - I chose to walk to the terminal and had dinner at the landside dining area of Terminal 3 - there is a branch of Eataly, but I chose a more casual option. We didn't have time for breakfast in the morning at the hotel.

I can't speak to your two choices, other than to suggest you look carefully at each location - the B & B appears to be in a bit of a no-man's land, and the other one may require a walk to the level of dining that you're looking for,

I stayed at Hotel Tiber in Fiumicino. Excellent hotel, with a nice restaurant, there is also a good selection of restaurants nearby. Seafood is a speciality as Fiumicino is home to the fishing fleet. The hotel has a free shuttle, takes about 10 mins. The rooms were reasonably priced. Breakfast is offered in the restaurant but I was leaving too early to partake of it but as I recall the airport has many good options.

Standard room is showing as US$178 with free cancellation and “Italian” breakfast on the hotel website.

Lesley's choice looks good. I stayed at the airport Hilton like others above, it was quite comfortable and of course very convenient. I don't think I had time for breakfast either, but I had dinner there. Much better than a burger, but I'm sure there are better restaurants in the nearby towns. Chances are that any "fine dining" in the actual airport is after security.

I too, stayed at the FCO Hilton connected to the airport in 2013 and more recently in 2016. Both stays were clean and comfortable, although as others have said, the food at the restaurant was nothing memorable.
