An honest review of Orlando Bed and breakfast
When we first arrived we were a little disappointed as the area is not too good and we found it was too far away from the centre of Rome. We got the Metro every day, which was great, but this stopped at 11.30pm so we tended to stay locally most evenings and there is not much to do locally.
We did not know that bed and breakfast in Rome means a self service, and by this I mean that it was basically an apartment share. We had our own bedroom and toilet but the kitchen and living area was for all three rooms which was a bit awkward to start with, however, the breakfast was continental and generous and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony.
Christina was not there when we arrived despite this being arranged but fortunately a helpful resident of the block called her as I could not reach her on my phone. We did not see her again.
Having said all that, we loved Rome but would not stay in this area again - stay in the area Trastevere where all the restaurants and bars are.
If you do stay here, you must go to Osteria del Cavaliere which is a fantastic restaurant 2 minutes walk from Orlando Bed and Breakfast. The food is amazing and staff brilliant.
