Rome itself - a very dirty and unsafe city, horrible food in the city center, a lot of beggars and smell of urine everywhere in the very center - I guess we'd never ever visit this city. Tram lines was looking as somwhere in poor districts of Bangladesh, not as it should be in one of the oldes cities in Europe - a tons of waste, graffities everywhere - looks like city government doesn't care at all about it, hoping that tourists will anyway come to look at old stones. Calling a taxi to city center was a real quest - we were waiting for an hour, and had to cancel taxi order at the end, as no one accepted it (we were not brave enough to use metro).

The hotel itself actually was the only great part of our visit to Rome. Hotel's owner, Silvio, was very pleasant and helpful, trying to make our rest as comfortable as possible. We'd like to thank him for an exellent SPA session he offered for us (though, pretty expencive), as well as for his hospitality and friendlinell. The rooms itself were great - it is obvious for me that owner takes care of what he offers - he even asked whether we require a new pillow, and helped us with the transfer back to the airport. Rooms design is absolutely amazing! Also, I'd like to thank Silvio for the cafe recommendation he gave to us - good coffee, good unexpencive but quality food - that is another thing we really liked in Rome.

The mattress in our room was extremely soft, it could definitely be upgraded to a firmer mattress.

Silvio is an excellent host, very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. His personality is evident in the unique interior design of each room. The room itself was spacious, quiet, and pleasant. Security was good, and the location is convenient to public transport, a few restaurants, and cafes.

The room was very cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The host was amazing 👏 I would definitely recommend this place. We will come back when we'll visit Rome again.

The location is a bit far from the city center, but the bus ride into the city center isn't terrible! Thankfully it is a block away from the bus stop/

Silvio was a fabulous host, and this property was so cozy. It felt so homey and closed off from the streets and other guests. Silvio is attentive and kind, I would definitely stay here again.

We didn’t realise the distance from the main attractions we went for. We couldn’t work the metro so found it a bit difficult.

The property is very quirky, it’s clean and welcoming.

The host was really welcoming and had lots of great information to share with us. Beautiful accommodation to stay in.

The walls were a bit thin and you could hear pretty well the other guests, but that was not such a big inconvenient for us. We managed to rest and enjoy our vacation, and the general feedback is a positive one :).

The room was very clean, the host was really great and he helped us with anything we needed. In addition, he provided us with valuable information related to public transport in the area, how to get to the city centre, he suggested some nearby restaurants and was really attentive to our needs.

This is a rather fun place for a short stay. The shabby chic is very well done. Comfortable and well-kept room. Good places to eat round about. Host on the ball.

Noisy street in early mornings, noise reach to room even when the window was closed.

It was very clean, stylish interior, the staff was very helpful. The bathroom liked a lot. Nearby very good cafe.

Shared fridge with other rooms. Matrace a bit soft for our preference. Missing some proper working table.

Very welcoming and helpful host, decent size room, nice bathroom. Free coffee. Location a bit far from center, but still close to public transportation to the city center. Area is with lot of shops and restaurants.

it is located far from all the main sites and the area is not considered a good area…lots of graffiti and known for a higher crime area

the decor was well done and clean

Very pleasant stay😊The room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable. Air conditioning and TV were useful. The only small minus is the location, because unfortunately it takes some time to get to the center of Rome, but fortunately there is a bus nearby that runs quite often.

I have no complaints!

Very easy to find location. The property is lit with blue lights at night which made it really easy to find when coming back after dinner. The decor is lovely-and well taken care of with lots of little details that go above and beyond expectations. The bed was almost TOO comfortable because I didn’t want to get up in the morning. Silvio, the host, was absolutely lovely, incredibly helpful and very communicative (English) which made it easy for me, an English speaking traveler who speaks zero Italian. The attention to detail made it obvious that the owner cares about their business and their guests.

We had a fabulous stay at Mancini Shabby House. It was super clean and comfy. The complimentary coffee and snack was a nice touch. Best of all, our host Silvo was most hospitable.

Would have liked to have seen staff or other guests more during the stay to ask questions/ share experiences. It felt a little like an Airbnb.

Silvio was friendly and helpful on arrival providing a map with good recommendations / experiences /directions. Room was quirky with unusual decor and facilities like kettle, fridge, mw were shared by 3 rooms. Although location was fairly central we had to travel out of City on the bus for a few stops to get the Metro back in. Not too much hassle once you got the hang of it. We had an enjoyable time in Rome and we would stay here again.

We had a great time at Mancini Shabby House! A great little room with fun decor. Comfortable, great location, and friendly helpful host.

I think most if not all of the rooms are on the bottom floor. I do like to have natural sunlight coming through, but I was easy on sacrificing that for a few days given how lovely the room was.

Ideal wee place, away from the business of the centre. great choice around the hotel for restaurants and transport links. Loved the furnishings and decor in there - brilliant taste. Silvio was quick to respond to any requests, too.

A bit far from central Rome, but with the bus & metro stations, it’s easy enough to maneuver!

The owner is super sweet and very helpful. My husband and I weren’t able to check in until 11pm, he made sure to be there for us to check us into our room; he gave us maps of Rome and went out of his way to make us comfortable while we were there. He even had a taxi ready and waiting for us at 7:20am the day of our flight so as to relieve all stress. He also speaks English which is a massive bonus in our book as we do not speak any Italian! The rooms were aesthetically pleasing and very comfortable. Mancini Shabby House may be a bit farther than others from central Rome, but the guest accommodations make it all worth it!!
