This was one of the best stays we had while in Italy! The staff were really lovely, and the bed was like a cloud. The place was nice and clean and the property felt really secure. Metro was more or less on the property’s doorstep, which made it easy for getting around. The air conditioning was a dream, especially due to the weather getting into the 30s some days, and lovely big windows that actually open. The showers temp did take a short while to adjust, and it does unfortunately lack natural lighting due to being under an arch (can’t be helped). Highly recommend staying here!

The location is perfect. It is near a métro station that will take you to the Vatican all the museums and all the cites of Rome. Also, it is near nice restaurants. Staff is friendly. However, this is a guest house and there is no front desk per se. Nonetheless, staff responds when you call them.

What on a whole Europe trip for two weeks? This was the best hotel that we had very spacious room. Bathroom was clean. There was AC in a window and a full body mirror for the girlies. staff was super helpful. I did forget about the city service fee that we had and we didn’t have euros on us. We had to go get some and bring it back which they were completely OK with. Room wasn’t ready cause we checked in early, but we had a guest house we could store our luggage in while we went around town.

This guest house offered independent living without hotel-style amenities. The room was clean, the air conditioning functioned properly, and there were plenty of shops/resturants nearby. The staff was friendly, helpful, and available for questions/support. This area of Rome was right next to the metro, and it was easy to explore various parts of Rome. Reasonable price for this style of stay; however, if you are looking for a hotel-style stay, this is different.

Our stay was so wonderful here, the room felt so cozy and so big, the area was really good, we felt safe all the time, the only downside was the stairs, we had to carry our bags up the stairs and it was kind of narrow. There are many good Italian restaurants in the area, so that was a plus as well!

I found the property difficult to find - once you find the building number you need to scan the names beside the door buzzers to be allowed entrance. My only interaction with staff was when I checked in. The ‘front desk’ is mostly unmanned. There are no amenities to speak of - a couple of packets of shampoo and a kettle and a coffee machine in a common area. There is a sign on the back of the room door that expressly forbids bringing outside food into the room. The room itself was very clean and the location is amenable to walking to many of the big attractions. And there are several places to eat close by.

I should have read the reviews with more care. This was not what we expected. Very very basic. Very clever photography that suckered me in unfortunately. Friendly enough staff and clean but poor facilities, poorly decorated and tired. The photos are deceiving and if they ever were, are no longer true to how these rooms are presented. We won't be back unfortunately.

The room was good. Bed was comfortable and we had a nice view from our room. The bathroom shower was super small tho. Other than the shower, we didn’t have any problems. Also it’s super close to the metro and walk distance from terminal and most of the tourist places.
