    Perfect place for Rome city break
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Double or Twin Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The beds are a bit narrow and the sound insulation is not perfect. our room was next to the shared bathroom and if someone used it during the night we could hear everything. However, it's not a problem if you prefer to sleep with ear plugs.

    The housekeeper is the nicest person! She met us on the first day with coffee and cookies and advised some local cafes. The hotel is clean and the rooms are cleaned every day. The location is perfect: 5 mins from a metro station and the same from a big supermarket. Our stay was comfortable!

    Great location and room, with a lovely host to introduce you to the local life of the area.

    If I had to give any criticism, I think the room would've felt even better with some newer, slightly larger bedside tables.

    Nelly was a wonderful host, she made us feel very welcome and was always super helpful. She showed us around the area, gave us lots of information, chatted with us and always had anything else we needed on hand, whether it was a travel adaptor, or something for the rain! The area is filled with nice little shops and eating places, and is about 5 minutes around the corner from the metro line that goes straight into central Rome. Staying here is a really good way to get a little taste of everyday Roman life if that's what you're especially after! The places we went to also had staff who spoke English, just in case you begin to struggle with your italian a bit. Our room and the guest house itself were very cosy and clean with nice decor and lighting, which we appreciated! We also had all the facilities you'd expect, TV, AC, Ceiling Fan, free Wi-Fi, Wardrobes with lots of hangers, Kitchen, etc. All in all we felt at home and settled in on our first night.

    The beds were very small and hard.

    The host was absolutely lovely! The room was so cute and cosy in a very quiet area. The location is both far from the bustle of the inner city and just a short & easy train ride from many landmarks.

    It was clean and the lady was nice and helpful. Only downside was the toilet flush was loud, and room was dark. But the value for money was great, and it was close to the metro. It took average 25-30 to be in Colosseo.

    Even if its just a flat in a huge regular apartment building its great place to stay in Rome. Its close to metro station and bus stop with direct connections to all major Rome attractions. Nelly is very accommodating host, room was cleaned by her every day - even on Sunday. Kitchen has all things you need - including coffee machine with coffee suply. Its very good value for money. Lets not forgett about rich choice of cookies :))

    Cozy stay in Ostiense, Rome

    The shower was uncomfortable because it's fixed in the wall and also very high. I'd recommend slippers and a shower cap. The electricity went off a couple of times due to electrical surcharge probably from all the ACs in the building being turned on at the same time. Two extra pillows would've been nice.

    The room was spacious enough and had AC and the building had an elevator. The lady who manages the place is there everyday to tidy and answer to your inquiries. It's a bit far from the city centre, but the 30 bus is only 7-8' away from the property and takes you straight there. There's also a CONAD store full of everything you need, including food, less than 10' away.

    The bathroom was very small, location was quite good as it was a 10-15 min walk from the metro you take to get into central Rome, but there isn’t much going on in the area of this accommodation. There isn’t air conditioning in the room which meant it got very hot at night, however there are a couple of fans which help.

    The host was very generous & helpful, she helped us arrange transport to the airport, cleaned our room during our stay, and even offered us ice cream on arrival because we were very hot!

    Shower is only possible from the top, no handle, took a long time to wait for warm water, warmer water was only in the morning. We booked accommodation with breakfast but in fact “breakfast “ included only a couple of sweet snacks and biscuits not actual food.

    Polite owner, cooked us a coffee a couple times, good location (close to metro station), regular cleaning.

    Good place for a few days in Rome
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double or Twin Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Few things to note here : - The description mentionned a continental breakfast with charcutries, pastries and hot drinks but in reality there is only store bought milk, cookies and powdered coffee. - It is not possible de cook in the kitchen. - While visiting, there were constructions around the building with scaffolding near the balcony. Although this is not the B&Bs fault it was a pity we couldn't enjoy the view on the park.

    The room was great, clean and the host is really great and hospitable ! She also gave us advice on what to visit and most importantly, allowed us to enter the room sooner. Note that the room is in a 3 bedroom appartment. The room was cleaned daily, overall it was very hygienic. Towels were provided when we arrived. Great experience and would definitely consider if I visit Rome again. Few things to note here : - Proximity to metro station and bus stop (~5/10min) - Beds were confortable - "Basilica di San Paolo very close" and worth a visit

    We had to pay 44 EUR extra because Of the late arrival. This was not fully clear and transparent when we booked it, so we took it unfair. And we did not get information in time about how to get into the Appartment. We had to contact the App many times to get some info.
