Guest Reviews

• Chiara (9/5): -
• Anastasia (9/5): - Η Paola ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετική, γλυκιά και κατατοπιστική, το κατάλυμα είναι φιλόξενο, φροντισμένο, πάρα πολύ καθαρό και ευχάριστα διακοσμημένο. Η θέση του είναι πολύ βολική, γιατί ενώ η γειτονιά είναι ήσυχη έχει πολύ καλές συγκοινωνίες και πολύ εύκολα πηγαίνει κανείς στα πιο ενδιαφέροντα και ζωντανά μέρη της πόλης. Για ένα άτομο ήταν ό,τι πρέπει και με μεγάλη χαρά θα ξαναπάω. Το δωμάτιο, τουλάχιστον το δικό μου, ήταν μικρό, αν και η ευχάριστη διακόσμηση με τα χαρούμενα χρώματα βοηθάει πολύ και η κοινόχρηστη κουζίνα σίγουρα διευκολύνει.
• Gala (10/5): -
• Rinor (10/5): -
• daryl (10/5): Great host good location - The host Paola was amazing. We had a train that was coming in after checkin but she was accommodating. The place is clean and the water pressure was good. Only an eight minute walk to the station to the airport and about 15/20 minute walk (depending how fast you walk) to Trastevere. Nothing
• davide (8/5): -
• Francesca (9/5): -
• stefania (9/5): Piccolo weekend - La camera,la pulizia,la posizione vicino ai mezzi,la Gentilezza di Paola e la possibilità di usare la cucina. Nulla
• Marta Adela (10/5): - El lugar impecable. Tiene loa servicios necesarios para comer. Ante cualquier duda Paola siempre dispuesta ayudar por si teniamos alguna duda. Lo bueno que los domingos hay una feria que vale la.pena comprar por muy poca plata.
• Luca (9/5): Luogo tranquillo, non trafficato. Vicino a Trastevere che si può raggiungere a piedi - Classica guest house. Pulizia top, buona ristrutturazione. Nulla da dire
• Duccio (8/5): -
• Stefanie (10/5): -
• Federico (9/5): da ripetere - Posizione ideale per chi vuole assaggiare la vera romanità
• kelly (10/5): - We loved staying at Paola Guest House! Paola was very welcoming and was helpful with knowledge of the area; transport, food etc. The apartment was really clean and a comfortable place to stay. There is a bus stop 30 seconds from the apartment so it was easy to get to anywhere in 10 minutes. We would definitely stay again!
• Carsten (10/5): -
• Mario (10/5): Se tornerò in quella zona di Roma sarà il primo posto che prenderò in considerazione - Paola è stata perfetta. Gentilissima, chiara nelle spiegazioni, utile nel fornire indicazioni sui ristoranti nei dintorni. L'alloggio è ristrutturato di recente, pulitissimo e molto accogliente.
• Frank (9/5): Clean and functional. Excellent and flexible service. -
• Laura (10/5): - Ottimo alloggio a cinque minuti dalla stazione ferroviaria di Trastevere, molto carino, silenzioso e pulito. Comoda anche la cucina, spaziosa e con tutto l’essenziale. Paola molto disponibile e gentile. Consigliato!
• Cesar Sanchez (10/5): Un lugar tranquilo para conocer Roma - Una ubicación tranquila, Paola es una anfitriona excelente, nos dio buenos consejos para poder llegar desde el aeropuerto y hacia la terminal de tren. La limpieza fue formidable.
• Antonio (10/5): -
• Annette (4/5): Due to issues with security I would not choose to stay in this part of Trastevere again. - The property was clean, and once inside the apartment, it felt secure as it was in a gated complex. The area felt unsafe, particularly the walks from the Trastevere train station to the apartment and from the tram stop to the apartment. I encountered pickpockets at the Trastevere station: three girls in their late teens who had offered to show me the correct platform, but then unzipped the pockets of my bag while I was travelling in the lift with them. So please beware and make sure to carry a money belt under your coat. The area around Trastevere station is not safe for visitors! The apartment is only one tram stop away from the Trastevere station. There was no hot water in the bathroom basin for handwashing during my stay. The shower was set to provide lukewarm water when I arrived. When I complained, the host then set the temperature so that I could have a hot shower, but the basin still had no hot water. Paola was very hung up on my not turning on any additional lights, and complained that I had used too much shower gel and that a fresh bath towel was required after two days of use. The first night, when she came in to give me a second pillow, I had asked for, she turned off the light I had left on in the hallway and in the kitchen where I was sitting! Please note that cameras monitor guests in the apartment hallway. I had not been told about this in advance! Upon arrival, the host demanded that I show her my passport and took a picture of it, telling me it was a police requirement. I had just come through security at the airport, so I really don't feel this was necessary. This is an apartment with so many rules that I really felt quite stressed, thinking I might have forgotten to wipe the wooden surface near the sink or left a light on that was surplus to requirements. There is a city charge of 6 euros per night, payable in cash to the host. NB. Graffiti is everywhere in the city, and visitors have to pay to use the toilets! So why the tax? Breakfast is not provided, but the host leaves some small snacks, which were useful when sightseeing.
• Sophie (10/5): Ideal cosy room for a stay in the centre of the city - Perfect location, comfy bed, everything you need for a short stay in the city Nothing!
• Vecchie (9/5): -
• Daniele (10/5): -
• Adriano (7/5): -
• ALEXANDRA (10/5): Perfecto, volvería a alojarme aquí - Paola es una anfitriona excepcional y muy detallista (zapatillas, snacks, agua y accesorios de baño de cortesía). La habitación limpia y espaciosa, cama cómoda. También dispone de una salita con frigorífico, cafetera, etc. para comer o beber algo allí si lo necesitas, incluso fuera de tu hora de check out de la habitación. -
• Graham (10/5): - Clean, comfortable and welcoming (Paola) + Trastevere is deliciously old school Boho Beware of pickpockets at the railway station
• Coleman (9/5): Good clean, solid and pleasant limited-service accommodation (just keep in mind it's not a hotel) - First and foremost Paola is a great host. Good communication, pleasant and helpful. Took the time to meet me on check in and make sure I was properly set up. It's not "the best" location in Rome but it is a short walk or tram ride to the heart of Trastevere, and therefore also reasonably close to the historic centre of Rome. Conveniently next to the Trastevere train station so very easy to get to, or get back to the airport. The guest house is safe, pleasant and clean, the room is very spacious and the bed is definitely comfortable (nice compromise between hard and soft so most people will be accommodated). No real complaints!
• ALESSANDRO (8/5): - La disponibilità e la gentilezza della titolare
• Carsten (10/5): -
• Sam (9/5): Lovely stay! - Spacious room, lovely host and close to a train station and tramline. Took 10-15 minutes into the centre of Rome! Nothing
• etzion (9/5): -
• Reen (10/5): Paola is a wonderful host. very nice and informative. She made the stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Pa - very clean and modern comfortable place to stay. great security. it was all great.
• Bernard (9/5): -
• takafumi (10/5): -
• Steve (10/5): Paola is a wonderful host and I would happily recommend her guest house! - Superb location and a lovely accommodation - but also Paola was really helpful and a brilliant host. Nothing
• Millett (7/5): Good location - Very good location, close to various restaurants. There are three rooms with a shared kitchenette and tea/coffee making and a fridge. Owner is very responsive. Just a little far from centre of Trastevere, but still walkable in about 20 minutes. Our bathroom had an unfresh odour and we were asked to always keep the door open to help air it out.
• Hadas (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place, very quiet
• Victoria (10/5): Fabulous - Fabulous! What a wonderful place. In a great location. Very easy to get into the centre of Rome by bus or tram. Paola's guest house was in a beautiful courtyard in a beautiful building. The bed was fabulously comfortable!!! Everywhere was spotlessly clean. As a female solo traveller I felt really safe. Paola was great. She was really friendly and gave me great information about the neighbourhood. I thoroughly recommend!!
• Anu (10/5): Cosy and peaceful place to stay in Trastevere. - Clean and cosy room with good bed and bathroom, peaceful neighbourhood. Excellent connection to the AirPort. -
• Bugler (8/5): Paola was a fantastic host, she even ironed a shirt for me! and just a short walk to Trastevere -
• Raul (9/5): Paola is a great host - Paola is a great host. Very helpful. The flat has excellent facilities and a strong WiFi. Very clean, very quiet, good room and bed. Excellent location to explore the Porta Portese market on Sunday morning. At certain hours parking nearby can be an issue
• Luciana (9/5): Well located and comfortable room in a historic building. - Neat room with private bathroom, in a well-maintained apartment in a complex of traditional Italian-style buildings. Paola is lovely and her place is pretty and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and full of locals. Near to the Ponte Testaccio, you can cross the Tiber River into the center of Rome. Rome is looking rough :-( It was a shock to see it so dirty and poorly maintained.
• Kyra (10/5): Exceptional - During the 2024 Senior Table Tennis World Championships, I was a guest at the Paola Guest House. The location in Trastevere is excellent. The event took place at the Fiera di Roma, the regional train there left 3 times an hour from Trastevere station. The station is only 300 m from the guest houses. The train also goes directly to and from the airport. All shops for daily needs are nearby, from supermarkets, bakeries, laundry... There is a delicious galateria a few meters around the corner. If you like to eat out, there are plenty of options in Trastevere. Rome's longest tram, number 3, goes towards the old town of Trastevere, the Colosseum and even the nearby Termini station. Most hop-on hop-off tours start from there. I had excellent contact with Paola via WhatsApp before my arrival, I was warmly welcomed. The Azure single room looked like it did in the brochure, everything was super clean, lovingly furnished. The rooms were cleaned daily and the towels were always clean. As an athlete, I have seen a number of hotels and guesthouses, but this one was unbeatable in terms of cleanliness. I didn't lack anything, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the shared kitchen was very practical, I could store drinks and food in the fridge, a luxury in the height of summer. Paola lovingly filled my bowl with sweets every day. My next trip to Rome will take me back to this guesthouse. Thank you Paola

• Predrag (9/5): Superb -
• Eva (7/5): Good - apartment was fine - and easy to get places - close to the main train station clean and comfortable Paolo was a little bit overwhelming though there is a fridge - there is nothing to do any cooking with so dont expect to to actually use the kitchen other than to cool your Pinot. the breakfast, is not a breakfast. it's one small pack of the driest crackers
