    Everything was fine and the owner does his best to help his guests. The decoration in my room had real character.

    The staff was good, explained everything. Room is clean

    Bathroom smells bad. It has very much of a moldy smell.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 exceptional! Friendly, helpful, responded quickly to my many questions, and was a genuine delight. The room was great, the balcony was wonderful, and my wife and I loved the area. It’s a slice of a quieter and more natural Roman life, and I really appreciated being away from the insanity of the city center. We like long walks and walked everywhere (or took the nearby train when we were short on time). The bar by the train station is excellent.

    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.

    The beds were very small and hard.

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

    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.

    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.

    The room was decent, the patio was a nice spot to enjoy your simple meal to start the day. Everything was really clean and spotless. Nelly was super friendly and accommodating.

    The bathroom was a bit small, but it was super clean.

    Very very clean and the owners are super nice!! Very well located and, at the same time, out of the touristic areas so you can also have a glimpse of how the locals live.

    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 :))

    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

    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.
