Guest Reviews
- Adam (8/5): Rzym jest super, a pokój zwłaszcza za tę cenę jest odpowiedni dla zwiedzających miasto. - Doskonała lokalizacja - bardzo blisko stacja metra Cipro na tyłach Watykanu. Kwatera to pokój (sypialnia i łazienka) w mieszkaniu na 7-ym piętrze w kamienicy, a zatem przebywa się wśród autochtonów. Właściciel teoretycznie mieszka w tym samym mieszkaniu, ale go nie widziałem od momentu zakwaterowania do dnia wyjazdu. Metraż wskazany w ogłoszeniu dotyczy sypialni z łazienką i ogólnie dostępnego salonu (tzn. nie do prywatnego użytku). Duże łóżko, bardzo wygodne i odpowiednio wysokie (ważne nie tylko z powodów zdrowotnych ale i rekreacyjnych). Na oknach elektrycznie sterowane rolety zapobiegające nagrzewaniu się pokoju. Klimatyzacja działa bez zarzutu. Łazienka w miarę przestronna, z bidetem i wanną. Ciekawostka - między łazienką a pokojem jest okno, przez które leżący na łóżku może oglądać kąpiącego się/biorącego prysznic w wannie (oczywiście jest też zasłona). Smaczne śniadania (kawa i croissant) realizowane w kawiarni naprzeciwko kamienicy. Można tam dokupić dodatkowo np. pankejki, omlet z dodatkami, kiełabasę - wszystko bardzo dobre i niedrogie. Lunche również są tam godne polecenia. W pokoju nie ma szafy, a jedynie krótki stojak ze zbyt małą ilością wieszaków. Pokój nie ma balkonu i jest z niego widok na tzw. studnię czyli podwórko między kamienicami. Na zdjęciu zaznaczony balkon salonu w mieszkaniu.
- Jorge (5/5): - La ubicación Mal olor de vez en cuando.
Bañera incomoda
Decoración poco confortable
- Markéta (4/5): - Přijeli jsme na ubytování dřív a nebyl s tím problém, majitel vyšel vstříc a mile se o nás postaral.Skvělá dostupnost do centra, pár minut od Vatikánu. Nikde není uvedeno, že bydlíte s majitelem v bytě, takže si neustále připadáte jako nechtěná návštěva. V bytě samá zákazová cedule, neuklízí se, Po pár dnech jsme se topili v prachu. Odporný zápach z koupelny, který se nesl celým bytem. Vše co ubytování nabízí tam opravdu bylo, ale špinavé. Fotografie opravdu realitě neodpovídají. Vstupní dveře nejdou zavřít bez pořádného bouchnutí. Balkón plný hlíny z květináčů. Snídaně v kavárně jedna káva a jeden koláč. Pro někoho kdo nejí sladké tedy žádná. Cestuji hodně, ale tohle bylo nejhorší ubytovaní ve kterém jsem byla.
Doplňuji ještě k reakci majitele:
Ano, máte pravdu, na balkón si opravdu šel manžel zapálit, po upozornění vaší ženy jsme už chodili jen ven. I když máte psán na bookingu prostor pro kuřáky. Takže nepíšete pravdu! Máte tam špínu a nepořádek a nechutný zápach z kanalizace. Tím bylo naše ubytování ovlivněno!!!
- Maria (5/5): Offering just the basics. - It was near the metro station. The owner was not willing to store our luggage for some hours after the check out although there was empty room in the apartment. Breakfast was not offered in the apartment but in a nearby bar except Sundays because it was closed. Generally speaking it was over rated offering just the basics..
- Hajo (7/5): Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, eine tolle Lage einem "familiären" Wohnviertel - Das Zimmer und das angeschlossene Bad mit Dusche sind modern renoviert und geräumig. Kleiner Kühlschrank im Zimmer, der nicht laut war. Dazu die Nutzung eines Zimmers der Wohnung etwa als Speiseraum. Wir waren wohl die einzigen Gäste. Ruhig. Metro Station "Cipro" ist 5 Minuten in der Nähe. Ebenso Lebensmittel- und Supermarkt (24 h). Frühstücksgutschein für eine nettes Bistro schräg gegenüber. Die Familie des Vermieters lebt mit in der Wohnung, störte allerdings nicht. Es hätte etwas mehr aufgeräumt sein können. Den Fernseher haben wir nicht angeschaltet (?). Keine Küchennutzung mit fließendem Wasser z. B.. Allerdings eine Grundausstattung mit Frühstücksgeschirr und Heißwasserkocher. Keine Zimmerreinigung, Betten pp. zwischendurch (wir waren eine Woche dort).

- Stefan Matic (8/5): - Location and the owners were polite, helpful and kind. Location is close to Vatican and city center, walkable distance. Metro is closed. Breakfast is true Italian - croissant and coffee, to fulfill the Italian feeling. Even the host is doing everything in their power (air freshener) there is weird odor when you enter into the room. Besides that, there are visible wear and tear of the bedsheets and towels but this is nothing to ruin your visit to Rome.

- Jaroslaw (10/5): - Przemiły i uprzejmy właściciel,nawiązuje kontakt w języku gościa co bardzo ułatwiło pobyt,świetna lokalizacja,przy metrze,sklepu i bazarki obok, mnóstwo kafejek i pare minut od Watykanu i muzeum,polecam
- LukaszPaz (10/5): Perfect place for a city break - Perfect location, voucher for breakfast in a nearby bar, very friendly host There is nothing really
- hugh (10/5): The owner host was a very nice man with lots of helpful information. Superb value stay. - Location Location Location. Very comfortable apartment with all the mod cons. Lovely view from the balcony over vatican city. Walking distance to the vatican (and Rome proper). Also very close to the subway train. Win Win Win
- Pierangelo (7/5): Impressione/Miraggio di B&B - Inizierei dicendo che siamo state spostate in un'altra struttura, un appartamento "affaccio su piazza Navona".
Di questa nuova collocazione ho apprezzato la posizione molto comoda e vicina a una delle piazze più conosciute della capitale.
Erano presenti tutti i servizi e l'aria condizionata, anche se rumorosa, faceva il suo lavoro.
Apprezzato anche la dimensione, 2 stanze da letto grandi e un bagno comodo. Ribadisco di essere stata spostata in un appartamento rispetto ad un B&B.
Infatti la colazione non era presente, anzi ci sono stati lasciati dei pasticcini che abbiamo consumato solo la prima mattina, dei tramezzini confezionati e del latte.
Di fatti la colazione il giorno seguente l'abbiamo consumata in un bar fuori.
Pagando un B&B come minimo ci si aspetterebbe di ricevere (anche dopo lo spostamento) i servizi da noi PAGATI e DESIDERATI, e ritengo difficile che nel B&B iniziale servissero la stessa colazione (da me elencata prima).
Non ho apprezzato la mancanza di shampoo e balsamo, entrambi erano stati precedentemente richiesti all'host che aveva assicurato la loro presenza (come in un B&B) ma purtroppo non erano presenti.
Infine vorrei consigliare di sistemare le finestre, soprattutto quella della cucina poiché sprovvista di maniglia e "legata" con una fascetta da elettricista, che però non funzionando la lasciava aperta.
- Félix (3/5): Muy mala relación calidad-precio - Está bien ubicado, cerca del metro y de varias líneas de bus que te dejan en los lugares turísticos. El barrio tiene muchos comercios y restaurantes buenos y con buenos precios. El desayuno es sencillo y está bueno. Las fotos del anuncio apenas representan la realidad de la habitación. Las zonas comunes están sucias y desordenadas. La habitación también estaba sucia, con zonas llenas de polvo y pelusas. La cama no es cómoda y el edredón y las sábanas tenían varias manchas. Las toallas también tenían manchas. Los muebles de la habitación están viejos y necesitan una renovación. En el baño, la ducha no tiene sujeción para la alcachofa, por lo que tienes que sujetarla con la mano y, si eres alto, la manguera no da. Además, la habitación olía habitualmente a alcantarilla.
La tele sólo tiene canales en italiano, por lo que su uso es muy limitado si no hablas el idioma.
El día que el bar donde se ofrece el desayuno estaba cerrado (31/08/2025) el anfitrión nos dejó algo de desayuno en el que se incluía un sandwich que llevaba una semana caducado.
En resumen, la relación calidad-precio es muy mala y se nota que el alojamiento está muy dejado.
- Vladislav (7/5): - Хорошая локация, до всего можно дойти пешком. Некоторые бытовые приборы не работают. Кофемашина сломана.
Мебель не-новая.
- Vincenzo (6/5): -
- schulz (9/5): -
- Alice (9/5): - Host molto gentile e disponibile. Posizione molto comoda, collegata con la metro A per Roma Termini. Vicinissima a piedi al Vaticano.
Stanza spaziosa con bagno in camera.
- SalVoDBl (10/5): - Tutto perfetto: camera comoda dotata di ogni comodità. A un minuto a piedi troviamo due supermercati, due pizzerie, un ristorante e l'ottimo bar dove consumare la colazione. L'host è eccezionale. Nulla
- Maria (8/5): Overall, a nice place to stay. - We are very thankful to Marco and his wife. Overall, a nice place to stay. PROS and CONS are as follows:
PROS:
- The location is very good: Cipro metro station is across the street, as well as multiple supermarkets, restaurants, and the Vatican Museums is 15 minutes walking distance.
- Very close to one of the best restaurants I have tried in Rome. The restaurant’s name is "La Ruota" (Via Angelo Emo, 25/c, 00136 Roma RM, Italy). Delicious food, and if you want to try authentic Italian dishes run by a traditional Italian family, this is your place.
- The room is nice, the toilet is modern, and the bed is comfortable.
- Marco was very kind the whole time, giving tips and taking care of the breakfast, especially by providing gluten-free pastries for my husband.
- What was very helpful also, that we were able to leave our luggage in the apartment after checkout, so we can see the city a bit more before our flight. CONS:
What was slightly dissapointing: On Booking.com, the city tax was stated as 6 euros per night. Since we stayed 3 nights, it should have been 18 euros per person (36 euros total). However, we were charged 24 euros per person for the three nights (48 euros in total). Based on this https://www.comune.roma.it/web-resources/cms/documents/Nuove_tariffe_contributo_di_soggiorno_dal_01.10.2023_logo.pdf, we paid the city tax of a 4 star hotel (which is 7,5 euros and we paid 8 euros). I recommend confirming the city tax amount in advance before arrival.
- Piotr (9/5): Superb -
- Litvin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gherghel (9/5): Superb - The room was clean and well arranged. The bed was big and comfy The smell. It was smell from cooked food in the room. I think it was from The other People from lower floors that were cooking
- Kobi (4/5): Bed and breakfast from hell - Reasonable breakfast and reasonable air conditioning. Bed and breakfast from hell
When I look for a room in booking, the first thing I mark is a balcony, I only check offers that include a balcony.
I booked the room because it specifically says there is a balcony in the room.
When we got to the room it turns out that the host is lying, there is no private balcony in the room, the balcony is in the common living room.
As guests, we are not allowed to be on the balcony for more than 30 minutes, and of course we are not allowed to smoke.
It is an old building with a creaky elevator, the apartment is on the 7th floor so every time we wanted to smoke we had to go down 7 floors.
I dropped a coin under the bed, I picked up the bed, the dirt under the bed shows that the room has not been cleaned for months, the room stinks, the bed is old and squeaky, the sheets are not clean and are not changed during the vacation.
The towels are worn and crumbling into threads.
I don't understand the high score in booking, the room is not habitable.
- Kurt (9/5): Superb -
- M (10/5): Stay as Romans do - We could see that they have tried several measures to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We felt like that we were not tourists but experienced the town as Romans did. The café/Gelateria they contracted for our breakfast was also a great place. We went back there several times to buy pastries. The area felt also very safe, both early in the morning and in the evening. There were several supermarkets and restaurants and the very nice pizzeria in the area. It was very near to the subway station (Cipro).
We normally stay in hotels and do not stay in B&Bs, so we did not know what to expect. After staying for five nights, we were so satisfied by their hospitality that we could not help buying a present to them (which we do not normally do at the hotels we stay) . We wished that we could meet them again to say 'good bye' before our departure.
- Lynetta (7/5): Close to metro stations and felt safe - The breakfast isn't served in house. You receive a card to use at a small bakery down the street. They had a good selection and were pleasant. In the room, they had a smart TV, so we were able to log in to streaming services and watch in our language. We really spent very little time in the room as there was so much to see and do. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, my husband couldn't get the hand held shower to work, and there was a distinct odor the second day we were there. We ended up leaving very early on day 3 and were unable to let the proprietor know about the shower & odor. He was a very nice person and I'm sure he would've fixed things had we been able to speak to him.
- Bojan (6/5): Pleasant - The location was very good, shops, metro, near Vatican and quick in the city...
The owners were nice and helpful. There was no washing machine and no kitchen for use, like it was writen on the booking profil! (Text and Fotos)
That was a total shock. I advise to contact before booking!
I could have been aslo a bit cleanler.
- Sara (10/5): Place totally recommended - Marco adapted to our arriving time and explained everything. Room is full of details to make the staying very comfortable.
- Michael (10/5): Great room in a great location - Marco went out of his way to help us have a good stay. Breakfast was at the nice little bar on the corner, but they were closed one day and he brought us croissants and coffee. we also locked ourselves out one time, and Marco was there within five minutes to let us in. The space was even nicer than it looked in the pictures, with strong air conditioning and a small balcony from which we could see the Vatican. Location was perfect to walk to the Vatican, and we could take the metro or the bus pretty much anywhere else in Rome in less than 25 minutes. All in all a great place! nothing
- Angwara (10/5): Exceptional - Marco and his wife are very lovely. We went there lately because of flight delayed. They welcome us so well. Room is clean, location is easy to find. Like it! Especially hot chocolate on breakfast.
- Tímea (9/5): Superb - The location is perfect, close to the Vatican and the metro line. The bathroom is well equipped and new-looking. Marco was very friendly. The breakfast was a croissant and caffee.
- Yunfei (10/5): Exceptional - The location is very good, very close to the Metro station. Macro is a very nice guy. Overall, it is a good choice when you want to find a satisfying place to live in Roma!
- Miriam (4/5): I recommend it if you want to be close to everything but there are better things - It was close to everything more or less. That they kicked us out banging on the door, shouting and in a bad way. The air turned on and off, there was not always hot water, they did not tell us that we had to leave at 10 and we did not know.
- Svetlana (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable location. Near there are shops, market, drugstors, actually everything you need...10-15 minutes walk and you are near Vatican. in 2 minutes walk from apartment there is metro and bus station. Room is clean, warm and cozy. Incredibly pleasant owners!
- Rufina (9/5): We’re more than happy of our stay - Breakfast was good
