Guest Reviews
- Evangeline (8/5): - No reception
- Xiaowei (10/5): - very comfortable and clean
- Patrick (8/5): Die Lage ist der grosse Pluspunkt - Das B&B Laocoonte beschticht durch seine Nähe zum Eingang zum vatikanischen Museum (ca. 6 Minuten zu Fuss) und zum Petersplatz (15 Minuten) sowie zur Metrostation "Cipro" (ca. 8 Minuten). Diese fährt ohne umzusteigen ins Zentrum von Rom und zur Termini Bahnstation.
Das B&B ist kein Hotel oder Pension. Eigentlich ist es ein AirB+B. Es hat dort einige Zimmer in einer Wohnung im ersten Stock und man bekommt mehrere Schlüssel um ins Zimmer zu gelangen. Im selben Gebäudekomplex gibt es offenbar weitere AirB+B anbieter. Es gibt keine Reception, kein ständig anwesendes Personal und keine Gemeinschaftsräume. Wenn man ankommt schreibt man dem Vermieter eine Nachricht oder ruft ihn an. Er kommt dann innert ein paar Minuten. Das Frühstück bekommt man in einem Restaurant rund 4 Minuten zu Fuss vom Haus. Das Frühstück ist klein aber fein. Es gibt kein Buffett. Ein kleines Glas frisch gepresster Saft, ein hervorragender Kaffee (der Capuccino ist zu empfehlen) und ein wunderbares italienisches Sandwich. Dieses ist nicht mit den gängigen Sandwich in Nordeuropa oder Nordamerika vergleichbar.
Wer mit einem Zimmer zufriden ist, um am frühen Morgen ins vatikanische Museum oder zur Genaralaudienz des Papstes auf den Petersplatz zu gehen und einen kurzen Weg gehen will, dem ist diese Unterkunft zu empfehlen. Die Beschreibung des Zimmers ist korrekt allerdings vermisse ich die Matraze nicht.
- Lindsey (10/5): - I do not understand why this place does not have 5 stars. It was perfect for our 3 days in Rome, was close to everything and was a great retreat from the busy city while still being close to everything. Easy checkin, held our bags safely and were extra accommodating. Would stay here again every time we are back in Rome.
- Taite (10/5): - This place was amazing! Staff was so kind and accommodating! Clean room and very convenient location!
- Rey (8/5): - Just what we were looking for the trip
We are out all day so we just need an accommodation that’s comfortable, nothing fancy and very close to the Vatican area especially the Museum which is a 5 minute walk. Very close also to bus routes and a 10 minute walk to the Cipro Metro subway station.
Internet could be at times spotty, but overall the stay met our expectations.
- Olubunmi (8/5): - It was a good last minute find
- ROBERTO (10/5): - Very close to vatican
- Titouan (10/5): - Hôte très sympathique, chambre très agréable et nettoyée impeccablement chaque jour. L’emplacement est idéal : proche du vatican et de stations de métro sans toutefois être envahi par les touristes. Le prix est très correct pour une prestation de cette qualité. Les seuls bémols pouvant être soulevés sont le bruit pour le chambres donnant sur la rue et dans le couloir, mais peut être également la porte de la salle de bain/toilette, pas totalement opaque et sans rideau, ce qui peut parfois poser problème au niveau de l’intimité (peut-etre un défaut propre à notre chambre). Pour le reste c’est parfait et je le recommande fortement.
- Garrett (10/5): - Close to subway so convenient, clean, good restaurants nearby. Friendly staff.
- ELIZABETH FLORES (10/5): - Muy buen lugar para hospedarse, cerca de una estación del metro, lo que facilita mucho el moverse a los principales puntos de la ciudad, además de varias rutas de autobús. Súper cerca de los museos Vaticanos, se puede llegar caminando. Es un lugar sencillo pero con lo necesario.
- Viliam (8/5): - They did a wonderful job helping my 81 year old mother and I with their accommodation!
- Minh Duy (10/5): - It’s very closed to Vatican museum and St Peter Basilica. There are many recommendations for local foods. Staff is very responsive and helpful. One tip: the city fee will be collected by cash. They should mention it in advance.
- Maryna (10/5): - Excellent stay! :)
The location couldn't be better—less than a 5-minute walk to the Vatican Museums, which made exploring the area so convenient. The hostess was very kind and supportive, always ready to help with any questions.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome!
- Luc (10/5): - Gute Unterkunft, sehr gute Lage, gut eingerichtet
- Carlos (10/5): - Cerca del Vaticano, vías de acceso
- Dr. Michael (10/5): - Nettes kleines B & B. Sauber und funktional. Giordano, der Betreiber ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend!
- Patricia Terese Anne (8/5): - Very central to what I did and accessible
- AKIRA (10/5): - バチカン市国に近くメトロ駅やバス停が近くにあり便利でした。また、Insというスーパーマーケットが近くにあり食料ビールなどすぐ買えます。さらにお店の沢山ある市場も近くにあり見るだけでも楽しいです。
スタッフの方々の心遣いに感謝しています。
日本語が通じるので力強かったです。
部屋も綺麗で、ローマでの生活している気分になれて、とても満足しています。ありがとうございました。
- Stefan (8/5): - The B&B is hard to find because there is no sign of it visible in the street (Via Caracciola). Corridor and staircase are very tight. The room itself was ok and so was the breakfast.
- Runida Valero (10/5): - Amenities are good, and the staff is friendly. There are daily refills of bottled water, tea, and coffee. What a nice experience! It's just one minute from the Vatican tour meeting place.
- Brigitte (8/5): - Super gelegen, sehr freundliches Personal…
Alles war sehr sauber- ich komme gerne wieder
- Susanne (8/5): - Schöne Unterkunft mit Frühstück.
In der Nähe vom Petersdom, 5 Minuten zur U-BAHN, ca 15 Minuten mit der Bahn zum Colloseum
War alles top
- Sergiusz (10/5): - Everything was okay, by the room from the street side is a bit to noisy.
- Juan Carlos (10/5): - Muy recomendable para quedarse unos días y no te quieres gastar un dineral y quieres estar cerca del vaticano.
El desayuno más que de sobra y muy bueno todo. La chica que te lo prepara super simpática y servicial.
Todos los días te dejan unos bombones, agua y alguna cosa más cuando van a hacerte la habitación.
- Dustin (10/5): - Great stay very hospitable!!10/10 would stay here again
- Julie (6/5): - The area is very convenient to walk near by the attraction. The problem is the shower was so tiny. Just wondering how the big people can fit to shower. The staff is good but the guy never offer to help us to carry our luggage. Breakfast is fine
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loistava, turvallinen siisti. Huone pienehkö, mutta toimiva. Isäntäpari huolehti, että löydetään paikalle viestittämällä pari päivää ennen tuloa.
- Kazuhiro (8/5): - 入口が分かりにくいので到着した時の手順を事前に教えておいてほしいと思います。
場所はバチカンに近く、レストランやスーパー、市場などもあるので便利です。
- Camilla (10/5): Godt værelse og den sødeste vært. - Vi blev møde af den sødeste vært, som vi, forinden vores rejse havde skrevet sammen med, ang. transport fra lufthavnen. Alt var gået som smurt.
Vi blev sat godt ind i hvordan nøgler osv. fungerede, og blev vist godt tilrette på værelset.
Om morgenen gik vi ud og sagde når vi var klar til morgenmad, og værten kom og serverede det på værelset til os. Rigtig fin og god morgenmad: kaffe, juice, youghurt, brød, syltetøj, nutella og croissanter.
Der var elkoger og kaffe/the på værelset, og hver dag blev der fyldt op med flaskevand, små kager og chokolade.
Der var køleskab, så vi selv kunne have fx kolde drikkevarer.
Værelset ligger i et godt område med masser af restauranter og butikker, og der er 5 min. gang til den nærmeste metro.
- Carlos (10/5): - .
- Bertil (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay at Laocoonte. The room was very tidy and clean and we were served delicious and extensive breakfasts every morning. The hosts were really nice as well :) Accomodation is easily accessible by metro/bus, and Vatican City is a short walk away!
- Haeseong (8/5): - 작은 방이었지만, 역 접근성이 좋고 깔끔하게 관리가 되고 있습니다. 주인 부부도 정말 친절하십니다.
- Carmen (10/5): - Das preis-leistungs-verhältnis war für rom unschlagbar. Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das italienische Frühstück war sehr lecker. Alles war tip top sauber. Die Lage absolut zentral.
- tereza (10/5): - We liked the breakfast.
- Cecilia (10/5): - Struttura situata in una posizione strategica: metro e fermata autobus a pochi passi. La camera è molto pulita e confortevole, colazione non abbondante ma comunque piacevole. Hiromi, la padrona di casa, è molto educata ed efficiente. Sicuramente è un B&B dove tornerei volentieri!! Lo consiglio!!!
- Filippo (8/5): - Molto vicino al centro città e pratico per muoversi a piedi o con i mezzi pubblici
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hosts were welcoming and very helpful. We were offered a beautiful, clean room with all the necessary utilities, including a delicious breakfast.
B&B Laocoonte is 5 minutes away from Vatican Museum, and also close to other cool places, restaurants.
I am impressed by the service, for sure this is the place I’ll stay when returning to Roma, definitely recommend.
We even received a sweet gift at our departure, the best biscotti alle nocciole, made by Hiromi.
Grazie mille. ♥️
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cortesia e disponibilità - Il titolare è molto disponibile con gli orari. Mi ha subito contattato per il check in e ci siamo visti fuori il b&b il giorno dell'appuntamento. Il B&B si trova in un palazzo al primo piano rialzato, la mia strada fronte strada ma abbastanza tranquilla. Pulizia ok.
- April (10/5): - This little oasis in the heart of Rome, very near to the Vatican was an excellent experience! They treated us like family and were so very helpful in helping us navigate in Rome. Keep up the good work! Blessings!
- Alessandro (8/5): Localização excelente - Obre a localização é muito boa, região residencial, tranquila com opções fáceis de refeições e também acesso a mercados express 24 horas. O quarto era confortável, só aponto um detalhe, o chuveiro extremamente apertado... Único ponto que deixou a desejar. 300m da estação do metrô Cipro, ao lado do museu do Vaticano e muito próximo a basílica de São Pedro.
- Lyudmila (2/5): The most uncomfortable bed, grossly overpriced - The place is vastly over rated. I choose the room based on the photos, but the pictures of the room do not represent the actual room.
The beds were tiny with very uncomfortable hard mattress. Pillows are very bulky, and too big for the tiny beds.
I have traveled a lot and these are the most uncomfortable beds I have ever experienced.
It is impossible to fall asleep. The room is dark and tiny. It feels like a closet.
The bed blankets are very poor quality, worn out, and very thin. The hotel is grossly overpriced for what it is.
I changed hotels as quickly as I could. I went to Castel Sant’Angelo Inn, and was very happy. The place is next to the river, centeral location to all the sightseeing and very good vibes. The bedding is comfortable.
- Alejandro (10/5): - B&B Laocoonte es un lugar excelente para hospedarse en Roma. Tiene un ubicación muy cercana a los Museos del Vaticano y a la Basilica De San Pedro. El personal es amable y servicial, fueron de mucha ayuda para ubicar el lugar antes de llegar y brindaron indicaciones para disfrutar al máximo la ciudad. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.
- PatrickDBaker (10/5): - This quaint b&b is located literally 3 blocks from the Vatican wall & about 4 blocks to the Vatican museum entrance. The door to the B&B is a bit tight to pass thru. The actual room was nice and clean. You're handed a ring of keys, a remote for the main door & a key card for your room. We didn't endulge in the breakfast even though it was included.
The upstairs bathroom was a bit compact. The shower was a bit larger than an old phone booth but the water pressure was great. There's a bidet across from the toilet for you're cleansing pleasure. And the towels are soft large.
I will say that this place is close to many eating establishments and shopping. The neighborhood does tend to close rather early though (7:30) & some places open at 7pm to roughly 10:30. Transportation is close by.
My wife & I enjoyed our stay & we thank our hosts.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - シンプルで良いホテルでした
ミネラルウォーターのサーバーがありいつでも飲めるのに好印象
ただシャワーブースが手狭で体が洗いづらいのがマイナス
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The owner is very warm and hospitable . Accomodation and private transfers are very fast in service.
The place has old bedspread. Maybe should modernize the room.
- SH (6/5): - The staff were very nice, and location is amazing. Sadly the shower is tiny which hurt the experience.
- DeBrae K. (10/5): Great Place to Stay for Visit to the Vatican Museums - Wonderful B&B - once you find it! This property is located within a gated complex and then up a flight of stairs that requires a separate key. From the outside, it is not evident where the B&B is located. (We were traveling within Europe so we may have missed a message with directions about getting to the B&B.) While attempting to figure out how to get into the B&B, we learned that there was a note from the manager left for us by the first gated door, but we missed that as we attempted to figure out how to get inside. We were fortunate to find a kind Italian person to make a phone call to get us in touch with the property's manager. (Our phone would not connect to the listed number.) After this initial experience, we had a great experience with the manager. She arrived within a minute or two of the phone call. As to the accommodations, we were impressed with the room for being so close to the tours of the Vatican. Nice bed, marble floors, and very modern bathroom. For the price, you cannot beat this B&B!
- Heather (8/5): - Close to the Vatican, Metro, and multiple bus lines to get you anywhere in Rome easily. Shower was TINY. That may be a European thing as much as anything. The young lady that runs the place was extremely helpful. They are bit there 24hours/day....but we experienced no issue with that. We did not partake of breakfast, but it was available. Very simple, but very clean.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is my 2nd time staying here and my experience was great as always! The owners take great care to make sure you are satisfied!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean place, morning breakfast is excellent! Giordano and Hiromi are excellent hosts. Hiromi brings breakfast into your room. Near Vatican museum, St. Peter’s Basilica and other sites.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Pretty good location closer to metro station and local attractions
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good area, close friend he vaticano, restaurants and sores, close the metro
- Daniel (8/5): - I think it’s a very good location because it’s a walking distance to some very important tourist sites like the Vatican
- Rob (10/5): Quiet little B and B near to Vatican - Great little place slightly away from the busy city centre but perfect for us and near to St Peters and Vatican museum for those early queue starts!! Clean and friendly with a great breakfast served in our room daily. A little gem of a find
- Natalie (4/5): Very small B&B beside Vatican - We just came back and we stayed in this B&B. This B&B has only 4 rooms. One of the room has an external bathroom in the hallway. It was very uncomfortable to get up in the middle of the night and get out of your room just to use bathroom. The shower stall is tiny, I had to squeeze in through the doors sideways to get in and out(I'm about 150lbs). The room is also very small as well as the two single beds. The mattress and pillows are very hard. The beds are so close to each other that you can hold hand with the other person when you both lay in your own beds 😂There is literally no space between beds. The room comes with breakfast. It was the same for all 7 days we stayed there. It includes: dark and white bread, some type of pastry, butter, jam, yougut, orange juice and hot beverage of your choice. The B&B charged you additional city fees. It's 3.5euros/day/person. The room also has an airconditioner in the room, its loud but does the job. They have only one lady on the stuff, she is sweet and keeps bedshits and towels clean. The entrance double doors are also very small, you have to open both to get your suitcase in and out. It's located close to Vatican, metro and bus stop but it's a bit far from the piazza de Spagna, Spanish steps, fountain de Trevi, Pantheon, Colloseum, Forum, Palatine Hill and shopping area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and pleasant place to stay. Good experience when checking in. Easy to find, had great directions from owners through email.
Good breakfast which is taken in rooms. Good size room, only complaint would be the firmness of the bed but that's each to their own.
Overall would definitely recommend to stay here and would book again.
- John (10/5): Great location - Room was comfortable with plenty of space. The room was very clean as well as the bathroom. Security is very good in that you go through four sets of locked doors to enter your room. Breakgast consisted of croissants, bread, yoghurt, coffee and orange
juice. The neighborhood was very quiet so I rested well. You are close to a metro stop and the Vatican museum can be reached the easily by walking. There are many good places to eat nearby as well. I had an enjoyable stay at a a very reasonable price and would definitely stay there again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay. The room was very nice and clean, breakfast was delicious and the people were great, very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely place. - The place is very lovely with nice breakfast. Also close to bus stops, restaurants and good shops around. Will definitely go back if we go to Rome again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay - Great location, wonderful staff!
- Liz (8/5): Nice B&B close to everything - This B&B was a very pleasant experience to stay in. The couple in charge of the place were very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our luggage was left behind on a layover stop back in the U.S. and we did not have our personal belongings for 3 days.
The couple in charge were responsive when looking out for our luggage updates. They also put in their part as early as possible to get our luggage.
For the breakfast, the breakfast was delicious and coffee was made fresh everyday. I will come back again to stay at B&B Laocoonte when I am back in Italy. Very pleasant experience for a good, budget-friendly price.
- edta (10/5): Best stay in rome! - The hotel is very well situated, as long as u arrive there is a paper waiting inf the door of the buiding with your name ring de bell and the staff opens the door, its a cozy flat, confortable beds, very clean place and the best is the service, they are extremely kind. Breakfast on your room simple but delicious.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very clean, nice and reasonably priced place! - This is a very clean, nice and reasonably priced place located very close to the Vatican Museum. The couple running the place is very nice and helpful. The place was recommended to us by our friends and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced clean place in Rome. They helped us with the airport-to-B&B and B&B->Civitavecchia transfers. The rooms are not huge but big enough. The place appears to be safe. It is located in a building with apartments and people around you.
- Jonathan (8/5): Worth it - Everything about our stay was nice. Only reason why I didn't rate 5 stars was the size of the shower. If you are bigger than the average person be prepared to squeeze in and out of the shower.
Overall, I would stay here again
- Dave (6/5): Ok - The hotel was ok as you get what you pay for. It wasn't in the best location, and they forgot to mention the washroom was located down the hall and not actually in the room.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Rome Trip - The b&b is located n a block of flats close to Vatican City and with easy access to the metro and buses. It's a quiet area with lots of shops and places to eat and drink. The bathroom is quite small and especially the shower. It's takes a lot of maneuvering to get in and out of. Breakfast is the same every day (toasted bread, croissant, yogurt and tea.
It place gave a feel of staying in a private house as it's not maned for most of the day. The owner's wife comes in the morning to serve breakfast which you eat in your room and clean as needed.
- Anne RF (8/5): Good location - I think this B & B is very strategically located especially for people who are especially interested in spending time at the Vatican city, seeing the Pope and visiting the Cistine chapel and Vatican Museum.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Well I have to be honest - Location 10 for Vatican. Owners kind sweet. Room horribly small uncomfortable bed and bedding. You get what you pay for~ now I had the cheapest room #1 bathroom not attached AC not the best but I would spend a little more and stay in Rome.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel, great location and really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning.
- Vijaya (10/5): Nice place for family stay - Hotel was well maintained and secure. The owners are friendly and helpful
- Yoon Mi (10/5): - Staff is very nice, roome is very cozy and clean, very good place to visit Vatican. My mom and i love the their traditional breakfast!!! It was the best during my trip.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Really nice B&B - Enjoyed this stay, lovely owners, they were very pleasant and helpful (was given a map and shown places to visit). Nice filling continental breakfast provided (lots of different flavours of jam and yoghurt). Room was clean and newly painted/refurbished (not modern looking but cosy cottage feel) LOVE the heated floors. The shower was for 1 person, can't bend/move around but had full size shampoo and shower gel. The bathroom had an adapter and hairdryer which was nice. Plenty of towels were provided. The metro stop Cipro is a 5min walk away and to get to the train station overall from the hotel it takes 20mins. I would more than happily book again.
- JOSE MARIA (8/5): Great - Great place to stay, almost perfect if the shower had an extra 5 square centimetres. Yet, a highly recommendable place to stay in Rome (you can walk the whole city from it, there are a lot of good well-priced restaurants in the neighbourhood and, of course, the Vatican is just 3 minutes away).
- Pradeep (8/5): - The stay at the Laocoonte was comfortable. The room was clean and well kept. Moreover the place is well situated near a Metro station (5 minutes walk). Therefore the connectivity is superb. The hosts are very pleasant and friendly. We stayed for 5 nights. for the first 3-4 nights,it was very calm in the night. On the 5th night,unluckily the guests in the next room were very loud. It disturbed us a bit. In addition to this we had an external private bathroom which was little inconvinient.
Another thing I would like to mention is that the breakfast timings are from 8am to 10am. If your day-plan require you to leave early in the morning then you might have to skip the breakfast. Though the hosts try their best to accomodate as much as possible.
Overall I would rate our stay at the Laocoonte nice and satisfactory.
- A (8/5): Hotel nearest to touristic places - About to Laocoonte Hotel, is a place for stay and visit Rome. Have metro station near, and touristic places like as Vaticano,St. Peter Cathedral and others).
About staff have quality for service, pending for our attention and stay be comfortable
- Dmitrijs (10/5): Perfect and affordable. - Got a free room upgrade on arrival which was nice. The owner is very pleasant and friendly. Would definately stay there again.
- Kaey (6/5): Near Vatican - We could not get in because they forgot to plugin the gate bell, wait until one of the resident came and call them for us, but over all was good. The nice couple owner keep the place clean and nice breakfast in room. Easy walking to the Vatican and shopping.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly and clean - Great small but comfortable accommodation near Vatikan. Good connections anywhere by metro or on foot.
Thank You so mutch Hiromi!
- Liz (6/5): Nice B & B close to the Vatican City - A very clean European standard Bed & Breakfast establishment. The owners were very accommodating. It was nice to have a European Breakfast (sweet roll, toast, juice and coffee) to start the day. Room came with TV, which of course, was only valuable if you fully understood Italian. I would recommend this place as a good basic place to stay which is close to the Vatican City and Metro stations.
Note, this B & B is accessed by walking up some stairs. No elevator. I would not recommend this place for someone who has walking problems or is disabled.
- Rodney E (4/5): Horrible part of town. - Stay away!!!! Beware this side of town. We walked outside of our place and was greeted by prostitution, hustlers, and violence. Stay somewhere, anywhere else.
- Elvira (8/5): A very pleasant and comfortable B&B near Vatican - We had very low expectations and they were met - a cosy and clean room with en-suite bathroom, good working shower and other facilities, nice basic breakfast and proximity to Vatican. The B&B provided us with all that. We had no issues throughout our stay, the owner met us outside on our arrival to ensure we didn't get lost, took a payment, gave us a map, recommended a couple of restaurants and left a business card with his details in case we'd need anything.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Worst accommodation EVER - This would have to be one of the worst places I have ever stayed in. My sister and I were booked in for 4 nights but it was so dreadful that we booked out after the first night. The noise was unbearable, the beds were so uncomfortable that you could not get any sleep, the room was so small you had nowhere to put your luggage
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice B&B close to the Vatican. Happy with security - Spent 4 days at the B&B which is convenient to the Vatican. Restaurants and shopping good in the area. Enjoyed the market which was nearby.
- Tess (6/5): Close to Vatican Museum and St. Peter Basilica - I pick this B&B due to closeness to Vatican Museum and St Peter Basilica. However, there is no sign i.e. name of B& B, street name and the building number is not easily seen (small). The property is very secured, we need to use 4 sets of keys from the time we enter the building all the way to our room. We feel safe.
Breakfast is decent, fast and served to our room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Laocoonte - Great value B&B near Vatican - Stayed at Laocoonte for 4 days.
Liked the room size and layout (especially for Europe). Nice marble floors. Tiny, tiny shower.
Enjoyed the continental breakfast brought to the room, with orange juice and cappuccino.
Located close to Metro stations and Vatican museums.
Very good value.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful B&B experience - Hotel has a great location, close to the Vatican and metro. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall great choice for staying in Rome.
- Michal (8/5): Very good B&B - We spent a week in Rome at this place. I can sincerly recommend it. It's good located (4 min. walk from metro Cipro and 10 min. walk from the Vatican), it's perfectly clean, beds are very comfortable, the staff is pleasing. There is a good supermarket and a bakery nearby.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent! - Very nice. Friendly. Owner asked us if we had everything we needed when we left - checking to make sure we didn't need anything. Strategically located. Very nice place. Worth the money for sure.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice loctaion , nice owners. Highly recommended! - Nice loctaion , nice owners, good value for money. Highly recommended!
- kiwi traveller (10/5): Great little accommodation in Rome - Very handy to St Peters-Vatican museum-Sistine Chappel. Good value 4 money. Great staff.The lovely lady is amazing!!!! She reminds us of our mums, very caring & helpful. A bit tricky to find but once u r there it's all good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel Near Vatican - The hotel we well located for the underground and the Vatican - all sites easily accessible. It was also clean, and comfortable despite the rooms being small by American standards. The owners were responsive ahead of time to our requests, arranged the tour of the Vatican (thank heavens) and were friendly and accommodating. It was also very reasonable in terms of cost.
- Chris (8/5): Good place to stay in Rome. - Good location to stay in Rome, very close to Vatican and red subway lane. Very friendly service, good value for money.
- Amy (6/5): Great location- not good communication - The actual room and bathroom was quite nice. Nothing extraordinary but just what we needed on a budget in Rome. The location was close to the Vatican and to the Metro stop to get in to most tourist attractions. My complaint with the property is not with the room itself but with the people running it. The B&B is located in a giant apartment building and their are NO SIGNS anywhere indicating that it is located inside- so it was close to impossible to find. Once we found it, we were greeted by the man who runs it, who casually informed us that we could only pay by cash or travelers check for the room..... This is my biggest problem with Laocoonte- WHY WOULD YOU BOOK ROOMS THROUGH A SITE THAT USES A CREDIT CARD AND THEN EXPECT PEOPLE TO JUST MAGICALLY HAVE ENOUGH FOREIGN CURRENCY TO PAY FOR A 4 NIGHT HOTEL STAY! THATS INSANE! There is no mention of this policy on hotels.com and I think it is foolish. The room and location were great- but just be prepared that you need cash to pay. And it is really hard to locate.
- Elizabeth Roberts (10/5): - I thought the owners were great-they worked with me when we had to leave unexpectedly before our 4 nights was up. They didn't charge us for leaving early-I hope they were able to resell the room! They make a great continental breakfast too and bring it to the room. Great location near the Vatican and Cipro Metro Station.
- Lavinia (8/5): Great location - This is an apartment transformed into a small B&B. The room was small, but very neat and it had everything we needed. The location is very good for turists in Rome. There are little family restaurants in the neighbourhood where we found great food and service. The owners are very helpful and friendly. The only negative about our stay was the shower which is extremely small even for a standard size person.
- Erika (10/5): Great location, 3 blocks from Metro Station - It was my husbands and I first time travelling to Italy, and we were worry about what to expect from a B&B being used to staying in hotels. It was a great experience staying there. First of all, the picked us up from the airport in a Mercedes Benz, Giorgio picked us up, he was great. At the B&B Hiromi was a total sweet heart, she helped us a lot with information about things to do there and directions. The breakfast was great, Fresh orange Juice, Yogurts, Cappuccino, and the best of all yummy croissants. Our room came with a save, a private bathroom, and AC. The location was great, only three blocks to the Metro Station, and four blocks to the Vatican city. We plan to return to Italy we definitely consider staying at the Laocoonte. If you are planning to go Rome you wont regret it staying there.
- Austin (10/5): Good location and facilities - It was a good place for the price. It was a little tough to find; it was in an apartment complex and unmarked other than the street number (so make sure to have that information accessible). The location (just on the other side of the Vatican) made the rest of touristy Rome easily accessible on foot or via the metro. Heads up though, walk on the north side of the Vatican. It is a much longer walk to Laocoonte by taking the seemingly shorter walk south.
The staff was helpful when there, but they were only there when we arrived, for the pastry breakfast, and when we were leaving.
Best part: nothing specifically, it wash generally a good but not great B&B
Worst part: the breakfast was the same underwhelming pastry, bread, yogurt, and juice...every day
- bluedaisyz (10/5): Good bargain hotel! - We really enjoyed our stay at Laocoonte - hotel was comfy and clean. Room was quite clean as well. The only downside for us was that the shower in our room was tiny - hard for the larger tourist to get into. Bed was very soft - just a warning for those who prefer a firm one. Very much enjoyed the stay and would stay again.
- Laura (8/5): A good B&B - This B&B was clean and the breakfast was very good. It was just a few blocks from the metro stop on the orange line so it was very convenient.
