Reviews of Pigneto Square Home

It was nice stay

The room was clean.

The area is very unpleasant at night, there are homeless people living in the immediate vicinity of the accommodation (within 10 meters), and at night we woke up to shouting and fighting. The kitchen is very poorly equipped, as is the room. The extra amount requested for self check-in is small, but it is a ridiculous rip-off, especially since we are helping the staff with it.

The location was convenient, making it easy to get to the city center. There were several local cafes nearby that offered really tasty coffee and food.

Unfortunately, our stay did not match the description or photos provided. We received a room with a shared kitchen but without a window – something that was not clearly mentioned beforehand. There were no curtains, so we couldn’t open the shutters due to a lack of privacy. The balcony was extremely small and faced a concrete wall, making it unpleasant to use. The wi-fi did not work in the room. When we asked the host about fixing it, we were simply advised to go outside and use the internet in the common area, which was inconvenient and not acceptable considering wi-fi was listed as an included amenity. The bed was broken, and there was no cover for the duvet, raising hygiene concerns. The bathroom smelled of dampness and mold. Among the listed “advantages” were a washing machine and dryer, but both were coin-operated – a detail that was not mentioned in advance. Additionally, right in front of the main entrance, in the small park and on the sidewalk, homeless people often slept. This created a sense of discomfort and insecurity, especially when returning in the evening. Because the room was dark and gloomy, we couldn’t cook or enjoy meals there – it completely took away from the vacation experience. We ended up having breakfast in nearby cafes every day, which led to extra, unplanned expenses. Communication with the host was in English at first, but on the last day, important checkout instructions were sent in Italian only, which caused additional confusion. Many of the listed features either did not exist or were unusable. Overall, the stay was disappointing, and we would not recommend this property to other travelers.

It was misleading. We thought we were getting an apartment but only got a room

It was small

Had all the essentials. Kitchen came in handy a few times.

Very noisy area, walls did not isolate sounds and too much light filtering through the windows.

There was black mold everywhere and our host was not very responsive. I would not stay there again

The bed was comfortable and the location was easy to get to.

The shower head was broken, did not work

The staff was very responsive to text messages. The room was large, spotlessly clean, and all necessities were provided.

Location was inconvenient for sightseeing. I had expected it to be as finding a room that would have been convenient was made difficult by the Jubilee year. I'd highly recommend it though for travelers needing to be in Rome for work. There were no restaurants or take out places nearby, except for a bar (cafe) on the corner and a small market.

The apartment was in the basement which did not correspond to the images with which it was advertised.
