Our room is not the.same on the pocture. The room is too small. Not so much Amenities. Shower area have no non slip mat, over all i.am disappointed on this property. The only good thing about this property is only walkoing distance to the Vaticsn City. And close to everything.

Accueil chaleureux... et c'est tout. Vu le prix, on ne s'attendait pas Ă  exceptionnel mais quand mĂȘme. Si vous cherchez juste un lit correct, vous l'avez trouvĂ©. Le titre annonce B&B mais n'y comptez pas, les petits-dĂ©jeuner ne sont pas compris, il s'agit d'un Bed&Bathroom d'aprĂšs le rĂ©ceptionniste (les lois italiennes ne rĂ©gissant pas ce genre de location, ils font un peu ce qu'ils veulent). Pour le reste, la chambre est tout juste propre, la salle de bain poussiĂ©reuse et sent l'humiditĂ©. Les fenĂȘtres sont vieilles et ferment mal. Quand Ă  la kitchenette qui Ă  premiĂšre vue corrige l'absence de petit-dĂ©jeuner, ne vous y trompez pas car si elle n'est pas dĂ©crite dans la rĂ©servation c'est parce qu'elle est inutilisable ! En avisant une machine Ă  cafĂ© et une bouilloire, nous avions fait nos courses en consĂ©quence et bien mal nous en a pris : les machines doivent dater de NĂ©ron si l'on en croit le centimĂštre de calcaire qui accroche le fond (et je n'exagĂšre rien). Merci pour l'eau chaude marron et les petits cailloux :) Pas de couverts, pas d'assiette, pas de torchon seulement 2 tasses Ă  cafĂ© et sans rien pour faire la vaisselle. Il y avait bien lĂ  un microonde (qui a sauvĂ© la premiĂšre partie de notre sĂ©jour) mais en plein milieu, il nous a Ă©tĂ© retirĂ© sans explications et impossible de le rĂ©cupĂ©rer ! Comme solution, ils nous proposent de faire 5 Ă©tages pour venir rĂ©chauffer nos plats... Ça pourrait ĂȘtre mille fois mieux avec peu de moyens, c'est vraiment dommage.

Great room for the price! Excellent Location!

These rooms are located in a prime location. Less than 2 blocks from the enterance of the Vatican and two blocks from the subway station. We also visited the Coloseum and it was super easy to get there from our room via the subway. Michael checked us in and was super helpful with directions, places to eat and other recommendations. Room was small but clean and suited us just fine. Good room for the money.

Comfortable enough, good location

Central location close to the Vatican and public transit. Restaurants and grocery close and open late. Room functional but not super comfortable (small shower, bed not great) but with AC. Check in a little tricky especially if arriving late. Overall, solid place in Rome.

If you are arriving early in the morning this might not be the place for you. I arrived from the airport at 6.15am luckily someone buzzed me in as it was raining, I then sat on the office step until 8am when the office opened. On the big plus side as my room was empty they let me check in then with out any extra charges. Big Thumbs Up for that.
