"My girlfriend and I had to stay overnight at Ciampino due to an early flight departure. As noted on the page, the departure area is closed until 4 a.m. or so, which means everybody overnighting has to do so inside of the arrivals lounge.

The arrivals lounge is small, a bit dirty, with low-ceilings (makes the space feel cramped) and nearly non-existant seating. As far as I recall, there were six seats in total, all of which were metal and with armrests. There is a cafe inside; however, this closes around midnight or so.

We, fortunately, had the good mind to bring a bed sheet with us, so we put this down on the floor in a corner and rested there. The place didn't feel as though it was heated at all, so the air temperature inside was chilly. Also, in our particular case we were flying to Morocco, and as anybody who has had to travel with Moroccans knows, they tend to be a bit selfish in their behavior which makes sleeping difficult. We just stayed awake until the departures hall re-opened, and headed there immediately.

We noticed no security personnel the whole time we stayed in the arrivals lounge, although there was a cleaning lady cleaning the toilets. The toilets were thus clean enough when we used them, and in working order.

Overall it isn't a place where you can really sleep well, but if you have no other options, it's a suitable place for overnighting."
