To expensive for what it is. Somebody almost robed us before entering to the B&B. Lack of maintenance in the property. You can hear every guess opening and closing doors. The A/C di don't work that much. Worst experience.

Value for money
Low budget staying. No problems. Owners are friedly and always ready for any help you may need. The room was clean. Couple of things that need to be improve. Aircondition was not working when wanted some heat especially in the night that was a bit chill. And there is no breakfast. Even though at the site it says that there is the choice of breakfast that is not true. If you want breakfast you have to go out in one of the bars they are around.

The room looked a bit dated and quite basic and much smaller than any shown in the photos although clean. Also the safe was locked and the proprietor could not open it. However, the bed was comfortable (memory foam) and the hotel suited our needs, reasonable value and it was conveniently located close to the station. The breakfast was a continental breakfast which suited us fine. The room was one of four that I think were a converted apartment within a 6 story apartment block built in 1864 off a courtyard with a little pool and trees, so it had a bit of character. The proprietor was very helpful and explained the best busses to get to the more distant sights like the Vatican (no. 40) which worked out fine.

Very close walk to Central Station
Great place to locate myself for 5 nights. Could have caught the train from airport to B & B as it was about a 10 minute flat walk from station. Close to shops, restaurants, station, Hop On Hop Off bus (station) metro, supermarket. About 5 mins to second biggest church in Rome and 20 mins to Colosseum. Had a kettle and fridge - bring your own tea etc. Bed not the most comfortable. Air Con big plus! Breakfast nothing fancy but enough.

Everything was ok until the day we check out. Standing nest along the hall way of the hotel for waiting the uber, one of the staffs said something that we couldn't understand. I tried to explain that we just check out and wait for pick up...He finally gave us a middle finger and we had to get out side. I did take a picture of him with his middle finger too...Never ever come back.

The bldg was built in 1884 and very well built however our room was smaller than the one pictured. The location is very convenient, not far from many places to eat and just minutes by foot from R.R., subway and bus stations. We stayed 4 nights and the breakfast they offer was a good start each day. We slept well every night and would stay here again. The staff is very nice helpful and friendly.

Stayed here for 5 nights. Friendly staff, clean room, extremely comfy beds and pillows (tempurpedic-like), decent breakfast, strong wifi, good water pressure, and good air conditioning. However the bathroom does have very small shower and will be uncomfortable for larger persons. Also I'm not sure if I was being scammed or not. The front desk guy (who was from Bangladesh but I never got his name) tried to charge me for breakfast. Every single booking website says the hotel offers free breakfast. My booking itinerary even said amenities included is a free breakfast. However he said that when he looked at my booking papers, it didn't show free breakfast and then continued to say "I normally charge people 5 euros a day but will give it to you for 3 euros". But listen.... the website states that the hotel offers free breakfast so it doesn't even matter if "free breakfast" isn't stated in their copy of my booking. Anyways I showed him my booking where it clearly said breakfast was included. And he said that on his copy of my booking, it didn't show breakfast and that there are different types of booking such as a room with breakfast and a room without breakfast. I'm almost positive that's a lie because the website states that B&B Giovy offers free breakfast. Anyways he did apologize & decided not to charge us additional breakfast fees and blamed it on the reservation papers. Overall, really nice comfy place to stay but ran into a hiccup.

Great staff and great location
We stayed for 9 nights and every day our room was cleaned and our bed made up. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Great location to all attractions and within walking distance. All attractions are a 10 min walk from this B & B. Train station is 5 min walk and bus terminal. Excellent restaurants within 3 mins walking distance. A great place to stay, great for the price and we will be going back there next year and will stay at the same B & B. We made good friends with all staff. Sorry to have had to leave.

Nice hotel in a pretty good location
The hotel was nice, comfortable, not super luxurious. The location was a bit sketchy but nothing too bad. The elevator still requires going up one flight of stairs, which wasn't ideal and that's the only real downside. Everything else was great.

Cheap, cheerful, clean and central!
B&B Giovy consists of 2 floors in a large apartment building, with other hotels on other floors. It is a 2 minute walk from Roma Termini train station and surrounded by cafes, restaurants, fast food eateries, shops, souvenir stalls etc, amongst all life and usefulness. Farouk arrived within seconds of ringing the doorbell and booked us in very quickly, showing us straight to our room. He is a very friendly, helpful guy and gave us a local map, pointing out all places of interest and told us if we wanted to purchase open top bus tour tickets he could provide them. Our room was a twin bed, with private bathroom (great shower!) air conditioning, small fridge, tv and Juliet balcony. It was clean, pleasant and comfortable. A safe with key was provided, there were toiletries, towels and complimentary slippers and WiFi also. The breakfast included sliced white and brown bread (toast), kraft cheeses, fruit, croissants, butter, jams, yogurts, boiled eggs and as much tea/coffee/water/juice you wanted. The little breakfast room was cosy and Farouk was there to provide whatever he could and offer tourist advice or just have a friendly chat. He very kindly kept our suitcases safe on the last day, after check out, so we could spend out last hours before flying home sightseeing without dragging cases everywhere. Only complaint was that the small lift was not reliable (only 4 flights of steps but after walking for hours they seem like Ben Nevis!). Apart from this I would highly recommend!!

Convenient & friendly staff but needs cleaning.
Good: stayed on a high level floor with a small balcony and a door that opened to the outside air. There was plenty of room inside the room. Friendly guy serving breakfast. They do have a little breakfast "buffet". All the toast and croissant, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, fruit, juice, coffee and cookies you can eat and drink. The bad: the water pressure in the shower sucks. And the bathroom wasn't cleaned as the used packets of shampoo were left from the prior guest. The shower door was a Pao to close. And now with the view of the shower behind the obstruction... Lots of mold.

DONT BOTHER
The young man wh greeted us was nice as was the older man at breakfast. HOWEVER the man when we came back to get our suitcases was a horror. he growled at us about nothing and then just said a harsh goodbye and turned his back on us mumbling. the room itself wasnt much and bathroom tiny and a bit grubby. Its saving grace was little juliette balcony and proximity for greta restaurants. If you need a sleep gretat-otherwise dont bother

Convenient and close
Because we were travelling around Italy by train we chose a hotel close to the main station and it was a good decision as we were close to the metro as well and so could easily reach all that we wanted to see in and around Rome.

I was a little worried about the location - it was great and nothing 'dodgy'. I felt very comfortable walking around with my son and we ate in a couple of the street restaurants right by the hotel. It was great for access to the main train station and all major locations, in fact we hardly caught the metro at all. The rooms are basic but clean and really quaint. I will definite,y look to stay again should we visit Rome again

Decent & convenient..you get what you paid for
It was a decent stay. The location is central...just 2-3min walk from Roma termini and plenty of eateries around. And, it's totally safe; I walked around in the area at 11pm in evening. The rooms are a bit old and the bed not that comfortable, but for the price they charge and the location I feel that it is a fine option. The staff is friendly though yes, don't count on the breakfast as I had to venture to get my own food daily though I like the fresh fruits they provide. They also asked me to pay for my 5 night stay in cash but somehow expedia didn't note this in my booking email. I do wish expedia can sort out its system so guests are notified in advance...unless it's issues on the hotel's end. At the end, they did allow me to pay by credit card so it was fine.

Good value in Rome
The B&B was exactly what we needed for our short stay in Rome. The room was clean and met our needs. The breakfast was quite nice as there was a lot of choice. The location was good for the train station, which is the reason we chose the B&B, but the area around seems a little bit dodgy in the evenings.

The stay was ok. The location near the railway is convenient but a very busy and dirty environment. The room needs redecorating. The builkding is hundreds of years old and so the room appears that way also. The bathroom is so small, it is difficult to actually sit on the toilet. There is mould on the walls and the tiles are worn out. I would not stay at this B&B again.
