Hotel Traiano is second now, and the shuttle that keeps it there comes from its listing, not its own website. Its Hotels.com listing prints a shuttle to the cruise terminal for a surcharge and a free buffet breakfast from 7 to 9:30, and the hotel's own site adds two apartments for up to five with a kitchenette, about 1.2 road miles from Largo della Pace by our routing.
The site, hoteltraiano.com, never mentions a shuttle, breakfast or parking. Read that as a gap, not a denial, and get the ride confirmed before you count on it.
Every room and apartment has air conditioning, a safe and a minibar, per the site. Parking is €10 (about US$11) a day and limited, per the listing, and the listing's airport shuttle is €55 (about US$60) a person each way.
If that runs from Fiumicino, two people pay €110 (about US$125) against the fixed €130 (about US$145) taxi to the port. For three or more, the taxi wins.
Book it if
- You want a ride to the cruise terminal you can book with the room
- You'd like breakfast included before the ship
- You're up to five and want an apartment with a kitchenette
Look elsewhere if
- You need the shuttle confirmed on the hotel's own site.
- Villa Giada's pool is the reason you're booking.
- You're parking for the whole cruise and need that confirmed.
