Dear Customer, the bathroom of room 203 where you stayed does not have the problems you described. The sink is attached to the wall and the shower works. As for the walls, room 203 does not border the other rooms of the structure. Greetings.

Hidden gem!
Nice location, walking distance to many tourist destinations. Close to the metro and termini stations. Many restaurants in the area. The room was clean, bed was good, air conditioning was cold, bathroom was renovated and nice. Italian breakfast served in the room, cappuccino with pastries. We had a very nice stay for 6 nights. Highly recommended

Spacious, clean room. Close to station
Spacious, clean room. Close to the central station making it easy to get to and from Rome. I walked everywhere in Rome from here, meaning about 15km of walking each day. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious for a single bed room. It was in an apartment block that looks into a courtyard, making it more quiet at night time. It was nice to have a kettle and tea/coffee available in the room. I would definitely stay here again because it was clean, comfortable & well located. Note: to have the air conditioner on, you need to keep your curtains open as it is by the windows. I also found that I would get cold in the night as it blew right onto me while sleeping.

Good for the price & close to Termini station
A friend & I stayed at Aelius 3 nights following a Cruise, because our first choice was unavailable. I was concerned when we had to carry all of our luggage up a flight of stairs before even getting to the elevator making Check-in a hassle, since we had to carry It all to the 2nd floor office in 1 building & then down to the other building to do the same to get to our room. The room was clean & adequate. More drawers would be helpful. We had a tiny end table each & an armoir as storage. The beds are a little hard but not bad. The bathroom was small, especially the shower. The shower sliding doors wouldn't shut all the way & I had to turn sideways & squeeze in. More shelves in the restroom would be helpful. The full length mirror was a nice touch. Breakfast was provided & was continental style delivered to the room. Each of us was provided a croissant, 2 rolls & yogurt with a cafe latte & various jams, butter, a Nutella packet & a couple of soft cheeses. It was a nice breakfast, but I had hoped for a traditional buffet breakfast of cold cuts, breads, cheeses, fruit, cereals, etc like we had before at another hotel down the street, but it was OK & it was very nice that we were provided all of those items in a To-Go package for our very early departure time our last day. The location is perfect, just a few blocks from the Termini station down the street, with plenty of cafes, pastry & gelato shops & mini markets all around. Overall, it was a pleasant stay

the location is great, a few minutes walk from termini and the city sightseeing hop on hop off bus tour (incase you are taking that), both were a plus point for us. the building has a small lift but a few steps to reach it so that was a little troublesome because we had alot of luggage! but they let us stow our luggage after check out for the day while we explored rome. room and washroom were spacious and very clean. ac worked great!! i wouldve preferred a buffet breakfast for variety but what they gave was enough to fill you up till lunch. you need to get your own water though, you get a glass or so per person. the staff was friendly and helpful. i would definitely recommend this place for your trip!

Convenient to the Termini station and nothing else
The breakfast options were very limited or none and instead of calling this place a "Bed and Breakfast", it should be called a "Bed only". We had to eat breakfast outside everyday of our stay and i would not recommend this place to anyone.
Response from General Manager on Jan 5, 2017
Dear Dinesh, I am very sorry that you did not get was fine by us. Aelius offers to all its guests an Italian breakfast served in the rooms from 8 am to 10 am. For customers who come before 8 o'clock, we are preparing a small breakfast in the room. And that's what we did every day in your room as you requested at check-in. Best regards Maria

Lovely 4 night stay at Aelius B&B
The hotel was up to standard. The receptionist took care of us and brought us a lovely breakfast every morning to our room. When back from a whole day of sightseeing we always found our room clean and tidy. If we are back in Rome, we will definitely stay at Aelius B&B. We are definitely going to recommend this place to our friends and family.

A real surprise given the price. The location is great with small supermarkets located across the road and lovely restaraunts with a couple of minutes walk. The reception lady was super nice and couldn't have done more to make sure our stay was comfortable. We walked from the hotel to most sights but there was also really convenient metro links

Good Hotel
Fab hotel for a city break! Took us a little while to find it (for anyone coming from Termini, exit the station on the right hand side, turn left and walk straight. The hotel is very nearly at the end of the road. The entrance to it is next door to a nice looking italian restaurant. We walked past it twice because it looked like the entrance for an apartment block - this is exactly where you want to go! Once you walk in take the right hand door 'Block A' and go to the second floor, this is the reception for the hotel. The reception isn't 24 hour so look out for an email from them asking for your arrival details, mine ended up in the junk file on my email so you may need to check this! Once we arrived the hotel was great, although it wasn't manned 24 hour, the staff we saw couldn't do enough to help. The hotel was lovely and quiet for the most part and the room was more then adequate for what we needed. Along with tea/coffee stuff and a tv, there is even a laptop with wifi provided which came in handy for looking for things to do and places to eat! Would definitaly stay here again.

Great Stay in Rome.
I stayed in Aelius for three nights. It was the most comfortable stay. The room is tiny without feeling claustrophobic, high sealing, large widow looking into the courtyard. Very neat modern decor. Very comfortable twin bed. Everything in the room is thought trough for travelers convenience. The B&B staff were wonderful! I had to leave for the airport 4am and they made sure I didn't leave without breakfast. The neighborhood is close to Roma Termini station. Sights like Spanish Steps and Fountain de Trevi are 15 min walking distance.

Great place for the budget or a 1-2 night stay
Stayed here for 1 night after a cruise, waiting to catch our flight home. The owner and staff couldn't be nicer and accommodating, even helping us carry our very heavy suitcases up 1 flight of stairs. Elevator is one flight up from ground floor. For one night, it was great. Unless you're on a tight budget, I wouldn't see myself staying here for more than 1-2 nights. The room is typically European small, small bathroom, but does have free internet, even has a computer in the room for your use!! The bed is comfortable. The breakfast is delivered to your room, and is a typical European small breakfast, but plenty enough to eat. Besides, why would you fill up on breakfast when you have all that pizza and pasta to conquer in Rome? The location is perfect,and safe, just a few blocks from the main train station (Termini). I would definitely recommend to others.

Very clean modern reasonably priced near Termini
This B and B is located in a sketchy looking area, but once you get there it's nice inside. Very clean and modern rooms. The staff girls are very sweet and hard working. There's wifi and a laptop in the room which made booking tours very easy. Green Line Tours bus is located a few blocks away for day trips to pompeii and capri. We also did our boarding passes on laptop and had the store on the block print them. The breakfast was uninspiring so we shopped at the market on the block. I loved the decor of the room, friendly staff and access to nearby transportation so I would stay again.

Convenient to Transportation, BUT it has drawbacks
There were a few drawbacks. Thankfully, we looked at the hotel location using Google street view prior to arrival, so we knew where the hotel was located. It's on the second floor of a building that requires ringing a buzzer so someone can come down and let you in. (Not an issue after check-in because you have a set of keys) The name is listed on the panel of door bells for the whole building. There is a lift to the second floor, but you do have to go up a few stairs to get to it. The rooms are situated directly off the reception/breakfast area, so there is limited privacy when those areas are occupied. At first glance, the room and bathroom appeared clean and well kept. Part of the lock on the wardrobe was broken so it didn't latch properly. The Jacuzzi jets were filthy and some of the shower jets are broken and clogged. Unable to use the Jacuzzi because it filled the tub with black mold. The air conditioning unit has to be turned off while you are not in the room, so it takes some time to cool the room down after being out in the heat all day. If you don't turn it off, they will turn it off when they come in to clean. I requested a portable fan and they provided it without charge. Also, you'll want to bring some type of clip to secure the drapes around the air conditioning unit because they hang directly in front of the airflow. I used a large hair clip I had with me. The breakfast was the typical meat, cheese, bread, cake, danish, yogurt, muesli, juice, coffee, and tea.

Perfect for 1 night
We picked this B&B because of it's location & price. And for one night in Rome it suited what we needed. It is only 5 minute walk from Termini but not located in the safest area. When we arrived, the owner greeted us outside as it isn't obvious where it is due to it being on the second floor of the building. She was very nice and accomodating, but once we checked in, she was gone and there isn't anyone there to answer your questions.Plus she wasn't very knowledgable about the bus system. So keep this in mind as a difference to a hotel if you like actual service. The room was very clean and a big plus is free internet with laptop in your own room. The bed was comfortable.The breakfast is very lean. If you have kids, it would be better to pick another area of the city to stay in and if you're staying for multiple nights, it would be worth paying a little more for something else.

Immediately: an all time favorite
The room was large, bright, ultraclean, pleasant, and comfortable. The window had two sets of double paned glass, completely shutting out the considerable street noise. The breakfast was excellent. The room was off a hallway in a very private separate area of a floor in a very nice apartment building, with a large foyer and courtyard, within walking distance of Terminale. Maria and her staff were accommodating, cheerful and helpful. Aelius would be my first choice on another trip to Rome.
