Lily who checked us in was great. Friendly and helpful with directions. Property is close to a Metro stop and 15 walk from Termini. Room was big and clean. Building does have an elevator but elevator isn’t available for Magic Door guests. There were a few homeless ppl on the same street but Otherwise was a convenient location.

This property is in a great location away from the business of all the tourist attractions but yet close enough to travel to. Lily and her family were great hosts. Lily was so friendly and helpful.

Great room in Rome

We loved our stay! The room was really cosy, bed was very comfy. The view from our window was so nice to wake up to every morning watching the park and the street. The building felt very safe. Very happy with the bed and pillows which were really comfortable and we had a great nights sleep and weren’t bothered by other customers as other reviews had said the walls were thin. The windows were great for blocking out the noise from the road too. The aircon in the room was fantastic and a welcome relief when we got back every day. It’s in a perfect central location to walk to the colosseum or Trevi fountain and your 1 minute away from the metro! Carlos was super helpful when we got there too giving us all the information we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Magic door

The unit was close to transport and within walking distance to the sites. The mattress was terrible and the toilet was right up against the sink making it hard to sit on. Small bar fridge. Air conditioner showed 16deg but we had to open the window as so hot. The unit was clean. There was on site managers and they were helpful. City tax had to be paid in cash. Overall, the unit served its purpose!

At find i was scared to book this property, however i when ahead because of the mixed reviews. I can say today that o had a amazingly great stay. It was a total surprise how clean the room was and the environment. Note, you have a shared kitchenette which included kettle, tea and coffee. The walls are paper thin so you can hear your neighbors at times. No elevator so you will have to carry your luggage up some stairs.

We made a reservation for two nights. Upon our arrival, we were unable to access the building due to a lack of communication regarding entry procedures, and there was no reception available after 8 PM. I had to request assistance from neighboring stalls to call for help, as I was coming from Canada and my eSIM only provided internet access. I am grateful to the staff of the nearby restaurant who kindly offered to contact the guesthouse staff on our behalf. When the staff member finally arrived, she informed us that the elevator was out of service, and we would need to carry our four large pieces of luggage up to the fifth floor. I had previously communicated the necessity of an elevator due to our large luggage, but she eventually explained that her mother had turned off the elevator because it was making noise. She then decided to turn it back on and assisted us with our luggage while we ascended the stairs in the sweltering 40-degree heat of Italy that day. The most disappointing aspect was that we were placed in a room where the air conditioning was not functioning, and we were not informed of this issue. There was a fan in the room, but it did not provide any relief. Consequently, we were unable to sleep at all that night. The following morning, we visited the reception office to lodge a complaint about the air conditioning, and the owner merely stated, "the elevator and air conditioning will be fixed today," without offering any apology. Very disappointing! Beware!

We had a great stay. Check in was quick and easy. Our room was clean and comfortable. The espresso machine that was available 24hours was amazing. Within a quick walk of the coliseum, and the metro station down the block puts all other tourist destinations within 30minutes. We were also able to store our luggage after checkout because we had an evening flight. They were kind and helpful, always asking if we had everything we needed. Definitely would stay again.

The place itself was wonderful to stay at. Lily was a very gracious host and we would definitely come back. A good amount of sites and restaurants are within walking distance. Just know that even though there is an elevator, you still have to go down a few stairs to get into the actual rooms. The area around the rooms is not perfectly scenic, but it's Rome and beautiful all the same!

It was tricky to find the location; it's in an apartment complex and you need to ring a bell (maybe a few times) before you talk to a person and get the codes for getting in. Once we found it, the room was lovely. It was a heatwave, but the a/c worked well. The staff was very friendly. Also, FYI, in all Italian hotels there is an extra tax to pay in cash once you are there and not covered on Expedia.
