The hotel’s location is good you can explore the city on foot, and transportation is very convenient. However, there were significant hygiene issues. Since the bathroom is shared, it was not very clean. The room was extremely cold, and even though they turned on the heater after we informed them, it didn’t help much we had to sleep wearing multiple layers. Additionally, if you arrive early, there is no place to put your luggage, so you must carry it with you until check in time. While the location is an advantage, the hotel did not meet our expectations in terms of hygiene and comfort.

Posizione Commenti: I've fallen in love with this place! It's charming beyond imagination! Welcoming, warm and one of a kind. I loved the decor, the colours, and every piece of furniture is original and unique. The room is large, the bed is super comfortable and the atmosphere is perfect. Gabriella the host is one of the nicest person I've ever met, always available and kind, she even upgraded my room with private bathroom and a view, she knows Rome like the back of her hand, told me where to go for an amazing meal and the perfect itinerary for my sightseeing. The Colosseum is down the street, and a little further the Roman forum. Saint Mary's is behind the corner, every major landmarks is reachable by feet. If you want to feel that"when in Rome do like the Romans do it" this is the place to stay. I know it's the place I will come back every. Highly and wholeheartedly recommended

This place and the owner, Gabriella, were perfect. She was extremely helpful and kind. The building is a cool authentic Roman building in an authentic residential neighborhood, but just a 10 or fifteen minute walk from the Colosseum and the Forum. I walked the whole city from the location, but if you don't want to walk, there is a metro station that will get you anywhere on the corner. In this neighborhood, it seems like every time you turn a corner, you come across ancient Roman history. If you want to have a local type rome experience, yet still be close to all the historical sights, this place is perfect. Thank you Gabriella!🙂

Old school

Great location. The best part! Gabriella was helpful and friendly. That’s a plus. Though our arrival was late and outside the checking in period, she was gracious to us. If you don’t like sharing bathrooms then you won’t like this place. It’s an older bare bones place kind of charming old school European style. It feels like you’re in an old movie set. renovation may bring the old place back to it’s original glory.

The host, Gabriella, was great. The location was convenient but noisy and didn't always feel safe. The bed was OK. The toilet didn't flush properly, it was shared with another room (I understood it was private) and the paint on the ceiling was peeling.

This property is very accommodating and the owner is very nice! The location alone is worth the cost, we were able to walk most of Rome on foot because of how close this property is to everything. We will definitely stay here again, very authentic experience in Italy which is exactly what we were looking for :)

It should be on the description that it’s SHARED BATHROOM. No TV, No blankets, No complementary toiletries. The landlord lives there which is so uncomfortable, I felt like an unwelcome guess. She asked me what was wrong with me because I couldn’t open the door! Only good thing is location……
