Guest Reviews
- Alan-Lachal (8/5): Correct mais peu être amélioré - L'emplacement était parfait, à 2min d'un macdo et 5min d'un Popeye. Room service effectué tous les jours. Le personnel était très gentil. Le bed 2 places n'en était pas un, c'était 2 lits simples collés ensemble qui ont fait que de se décoller dans la nuit. Les chambres ne ressemblaient pas exactement aux photos. L'entrée de la réception était compliqué a trouver au début.
- Denisov (1/5): Avoid this place - Horrible experience. Dusty bed full of bed bugs, dusty air conditioner. Basic items like shampoo and water glass were not provided. For the price of ~100 euro per night this is a robbery. When I've checked out earlier and asked for a partial refund for the remaining nights, the owner refused to return the money.
- Meshi (10/5): -
- Юліан (1/5): The stay was disappointing: poor cleanliness with mold in the bathroom, very bad soundproofing, confusing extra charges, - 🫤🫤🫤 The staff woke me up in the morning. He doesn’t know the language, and I told him several times either to clean later or not to clean at all. The worst part is that he woke me up at 8 a.m. and even entered the room.
Regarding the reception – there was no one there. When I approached the hotel, there was just a person outside smoking. I asked him about the reception, and eventually he opened the door. We still had to wait another 10 minutes.
It was also unclear why I had to pay an additional €36. Since I didn’t have cash, there was an extra €4 commission, so in total I paid €40. Those €4 clearly went nowhere official.
The soundproofing is terrible – basically nonexistent. You can hear everything, even the chair moving at the reception. The neighbors were noisy, and we couldn’t sleep.
The cleanliness was also very poor. There was mold in the shower because the bathroom has no ventilation. The toilet area itself looks like something out of a horror movie, even though the room itself is relatively normal.
The only good thing was the terrace. Unfortunately, I never even used it because there is no nice view – just an ugly building directly in front of it.
- Juan (9/5): -
- Andres (4/5): -
- Ana (7/5): - Objekt je na dobroj lokaciji, blizina javnog prijevoza. Domaćin je bio uvijek na raspolaganju. Wifi nije radio
- Elena (7/5): - Ero vicino al luogo del mio corso Il palazzo in cui c'era l'albergo
- Janet (2/5): Disappointed - Don't believe the photos or the ratings. This place is in poor condition and the rooms are sparse and some things are broken. Literally the only good thing is that it is in walking distance to Vatican City.
I thought breakfast was included, but turns out you have to pay more and its not even on the premises.

- Gaspare Giorgio (6/5): Così così - Posizione buona Poco manutenuta
- Jorge (3/5): Si mas - Las toallas que nos dejaban limpias , algunas de ellas Algunas toallas que nos dejaban estaban sucias la cama era muy incómoda y esta sucia con mucho polvo
- Esma (5/5): -
- Vanessa (9/5): - Un emplacement idéal proche du métro et du Vatican
Dans un quartier vivant et animé La douche glissante
- Jorge (10/5): Nice place to stay. - Well located. Main street, but quiet with soundproof windows and door.
- Katarzyna (9/5): Wspaniały pobyt, z pewnością nie ostatni :) - Bardzo korzystna lokalizacja, świetnie skomunikowana z resztą miasta. Miły, pomocny personel, czysty pokój. Wymiana ręczników i kosmetyków co drugi dzień, codzienne sprzątanie. Wielki plus za balkon. W najbliższej okolicy bardzo dobre restauracje, bary, sklepy. Do Placu Św. Piotra 15 - 20 minut na piechotę. Pokój wymaga odświeżenia, lodówka i klimatyzacja naprawy, poduszki - wymiany
- Alessandro (8/5): -
- Mrt (5/5): -
- Otto Martinez (1/5): Pesimo - La publicidad de ese hotel es engañosa el apartamento es pésimo carísimo no hay relación con el servicio y lo que umo paga. Si hubieran sido sinceros que se trata de un hotel de cuarta categoría y no lo que ofrecen en las fotos que parece otra cosa.
- Lucija (6/5): Could be better value for money but it's fine. - The cleaners are super nice and friendly, bathroom was cleaned very good. Location is okay, bus station is very close and connection to the city center is good. Rooms could use little renovation, TV remote was not in the room so the TV was unusable. Walls are pretty thin.
- Francis (9/5): -
- Cristianp (3/5): Servizio e qualità molto basso per il prezzo abbastanza alto - Niente
Quando ho chiesto di cambiare la stanza mi hanno offerto una stanza piu sporca Molto datata la camera. La pulizia scarsa. Le lenzuola e gli cuscini facevano schifo il bagno, molto calcare e il rubinetto del lavandino non funzionava bene cioe quasi senza aqua
Niente come descritto nelle informazioni sul hotel. Non lo consiglio . Prezzo abbastanza alto per questo hotel molto sporco e datato
- Yeimi (6/5): -
- Oscar Ignacio (8/5): -
- SImone (2/5): - Non mi è stato dato nulla a colazione o per la colazione Gli addetti alle pulizie sono entrati in camera mentre stavo dormendo (spero per pulire).
Si sono rifiutati di cambiare le lenzuola, che ho segnalato essere sporche.
Ho chiesto anche, molto gentilmente, di darmi almeno delle lenzuola pulite e che avrei rifatto io il letto, altro no.
Mi sono proposto addirittura di pagare per avere un cambio lenzuola…altro no
Al termine dell’alloggio chiamo il proprietario della struttura che incassa le mie critiche e mi dice che mi avrebbe richiamato a breve….scomparso.
Vero peccato per una struttura con ottima posizione e camere spaziose e pulite, benché le porte non trasmettano grande sicurezza in quanto molto sottili.
Insonorizzazione inesistente.
- Amelie (2/5): Pas top - Juste l’emplacement hôtel proche d’un arrêt de bus Photos vraiment non contractuelle, accueil pas top du tout , il faut savoir que la réception ne se trouve pas sur le même pallier , ensuite impossible de réserver un petit déjeuner , linge de bain sale et j’ai même eu la housse d’un oreiller moisie c’est la première fois que je me permet d’écrire un mauvais commentaire mais là sincèrement je pense qu’il faudrait vraiment revoir un peu tout ça et bien vérifier votre linges de lit et de bain. Attention aussi chambre non isolé ne prenais pas cet hôtel pour vous reposer que ce soit la route ou les autres occupants nous entendons tout .bref je pense que niveau rapport qualité prix n’importe quelle autre hôtel serait bien mieux .
- Sanjeep (8/5): -
- Petra (6/5): - Our whole room smelled of cigarettes.
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Filip (10/5): - thank you very much, nice personelle, clean rooms! bon raport quliatee/prix.
- Mario (8/5): -
- Andrea (6/5): - Ubicación e instalaciones cómodas Teníamos desayuno incluido y te entregan tiquetes para reclamar en cafetería cerca, pero el domingo no abren el sitio.
- Kresimir (10/5): -
- Zdeněk (6/5): Nothing special, but what would you want in a metropolis - Good location outside the ZTL with some parking options (on the street or guarded parking nearby).
The city centre is easily accessible by bike (bike lanes).
Room not like in the picture, but clean and with comfortable beds. Nice and spacious bathroom.
Safe place (apartment, not the streets around). Misunderstanding and confusion about the address by check-in (there was no one at the reception half an hour before closing time; the contact was waiting with keys, but didn't tell us in advance that the apartment has another direction, it was a short walk away).
I would not recommend parking on the street (attempted car brake-in in only 30 minutes, not so bad, the car was empty, only broken window, but not great for the next drive... welcome in Rome... the remaining time was the car in payed garage; I just asked about the parking before, but the hotel did not answer. The second answer was about gluten free option for breakfast. No answer again. The breakfast is in a non-stop bar nearby (juice, coffee, one cornetto...gluten-free for an extra fee in the bar). It's not worth it.
I didnť find the "garden view", but it doesn't matter.
- Mantas (8/5): Very good -
- Julia (7/5): Good -
- Дар’я (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kristijan (8/5): Very good - Very good location, very close to bus stations with access to city center, 10 minutes from Metro
Rooms were good, nicely equipped with all necessary equipment
Breakfast relatively basic, but OK for this price. The only thing is that you need to wait for refill quite long in case there are more guests at the same time
- Karol (9/5): Great budget friendly place - Great please within 20 minutes walk from Vatican. Friendly staff and delicious breakfasts.
- Mohanan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Filip (5/5): Passable -
- Roland (4/5): Tourist trap - The room was clean enough and the bed comfortable. Our room was totally different than the one presented in the photos! Worst thing is when I went to the check-in desk (also nothing to do with the photos), the one who was working that day said that it's only one room like in the photos and it's taken already. When I asked him why aren't they uploading precise photos of each room he gave a silly reply that they can't upload photos of each room. Very bad presentation. PS. We booked at *Heart of Rome Rooms* and got a room in *Love of Rome Rooms*, which are in the same building.
- Wanyana (8/5): Great experience - It was nice and staff was extremely helpful. Giving us knowledge and guidance on how to go about our upcoming event next year. very good valuable information that we did not have to pay for. We hope to come back soon. Uhhhhmm a few miscommunication here and there Language barrier , But maybe we will learn some Italian next time
- Niklas (7/5): Good -
- Roseann (7/5): Value for money but should give better directions to find - Friendly staaf. Good breakfast Location. Hard to find. No free parking except if you can find a free space on the street.
- Vasilis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tereza (9/5): Superb - Great location, few steps fm bus ,which takes you to Vatican or city centre in 15-30 min .
Parking is available close by for €30/ day.
Breakfast was very delicious, and all stuff was super friendly. Terrace could be better furnished..
- Emmanuel (7/5): The lack in facilities were overcome by the hospitality by the receptionist and waiter at restaurant - Breakfast was included in the tariff. Receptionist and waiter at restaurant were very polite and kind and supported us with all our requests. Receptionist explained the complete map to reach various attractions. Air conditioning at the room was helpful due to soaring temperature outside. Hotel is situated 2 Km from Vatican. Hence went by walk. Private car parking is not available. Free car parking is available below the hotel but I felt not safe, Hence parked car in private garage and they charged 20 Euros / night. Bathroom did not have lock. Outside the room there was cigarette smell everywhere.
- Natasha (9/5): Great location for visit to Rome - Stayed as a group of 4 friends. Location for rooms was close to a metro stop so easy access to the rest of Rome. Room was lovely with really comfy beds and large bathroom. Host was very helpful as we were delayed getting into Rome and she stayed late so we could still check in. Breakfast was very good for the price lots of pastries and fruit. Would highly recommend. Nothing all was very good.
- Sabina (8/5): Good location, friendly staff, good value for money. - The location was pretty accessible by bus and close to subway (15 min walking distance). There are a few restaurants in the neighborhood, so it was easy to eat at night closer to the property. The room was equiped with a separate bed for our daughter, which made it convenient. We had a late checkin (9.30 PM, for which we needed to pay extra) and although we were informed to let them know with 30 min before arriving, so they can be there (which we did), we had to wait for more than 15 min for someone to come and give us the key.
- Freja (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the Best ice cream shop
Good breakfast
Easy to get to the center of rome
- Ernest (8/5): Very good -
- Lucy (5/5): Ok - Not like the photos and on a very busy road Noisy outside the bedroom door very early
- Rares (9/5): Superb - Location is close to buss and metro stations. It's almost 2.5 km to Vatican City, 20 minutes by bus. The apartment was clean, had a small balcony. The apartment is laking sound isolation, you can here almost everything the neighbours talk and do.
Would be nice of we had altleast a small table and some chairs on the balcony.
- Meltzupa (6/5): Pleasant - I liked that it was close to the transit and most of the staff were very kind and helpful. There were a few misleading items listed under their facilities. The rooms were not soundproof! This couldn't be further from the truth. I could hear people talking in the next room and out in the sitting area and sometimes well after 11pm. Not to mention the street noise. I used earplugs and it helped a bit. They offer a shuttle service at an additional charge. Well when I asked for the service, the girl told me they only offer it to and from the airport. They also have laundry listed, but when I asked, they gave me directions to the laundromat or they could make the arrangements with an additional charge. WTF! This is one of the reasons I picked this place to stay! So, I do go to the laundromat, I put my own clothes in the wash, use my own soap, they throw the items from the wash to the dryer and once dry I leave. That place charged me 15 euros for what, exactly? There was also black mold on the ceiling in my bathroom and the paint is ripping off the wall and ceiling. Will not be recommending this place, especially for the cost!
- Niyazi (6/5): Pleasant - Good location
- Damien (8/5): Great value, Clean, great location and would stay again. - We were traveling with our kids and in Rome for 2 nights. This place was perfect for us. It was clean, staff were great and we would for sure stay here again. It was good value for money for 4 of us. Outside is a bus stop which takes about 20 mins directly into the city center attractions. Only one small feedback. The bathroom was clean and shower was great however the build up of chalk/limescale in the toilet itself should be addressed. It’s an easy fix.
- Emily (9/5): Superb -
- Silvia (10/5): Silvia - It was great. Room is clean, breakfast buffet is great, perfect location. The stuff were very helpful and kind.
Close to the Bus stop, Metro station 10-15min. walk
- Agostina (8/5): Very good -
- Jonald (7/5): I recommend it but not that strong - Staff was super friendly and helpful 5/5 Not that clean and it got noisy sometimes
- Sorin (7/5): Overrated B&B, rather average level. - Quite clean, close to center. Mold on the ceiling.
Broken bed side, mission toilet paper holder, missing soap holder in shower.
Poor supply for breakfast.
- Ron (5/5): Shabby room, poorly trained staff - Good noise isolation from street noise.
Close to a bus stop.
Close to Vatican – a few bus stops.
There's a kettle in the room. Bed is not standard size! Less than 200 cm. Also mattress not very comfy.
Room needs maintanenance, lots of little things are broken or unmaintained.
Can't really use the huge balcony and terrace, because the street right under is extremely noisy.
Very limited choice of breakfast, almost no vegetables.
Staff is unprofessional.
Pictures are deceiving – room feels quite shabby.
- Adil (5/5): Good staff but poor amenities and facilities. Even the hot water was not working properly - The location was good and the staff were super friendly. Needs repair. The walls are thin and there was a lot of noise both from inside and outside
- Anastasiia (3/5): Biggest disappointment from Booking (my experience) - The only thing we liked about this experience was the staff, so kind, they recommended us a cultural program in the city. Nice neighborhood, although it is far from the center. + Good breakfast. We couldn't sleep at all! The hotel is right by the road and even at night it was impossible to relax. Uncomfortable beds, dust under them and a mold stain in the shower. The table and chairs on the terrace had holes in them like they were a decade old. The refrigerator was covered in water, leaking, we were afraid to open it. It was uncomfortable. I know it's a budget hotel, but they don't know how to clean and welcome guests.
- Gabriel (9/5): Superb -
- Anne (7/5): A great time in Rome - The staff were really nice. Quiet central.Breakfast was good and efficient. Nearby are good restaurants. The slippery shower, not enough light in the room, no key to backyard, so could not leave it open for air at night.Very shabby backyard, room defenitely needs upgrade.Would have appreciated 2 glasses , 2 Mugs and some tea, coffee and dried milk sachets. Kettle needs to be cleaned from limescale.Hairdryer and lampshade switches should be checked before .
- Nikola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sushanta (8/5): Very good -
- Jemma (7/5): Friendly staff, clean area, easy access to public transport, quiet and not much noise from the road nearby. - Good location. Accessible to bus services and restaurants nearby. Handy to have our own key for the property to access anytime. Nothing - it was basic and what is needed for staying abroad on holiday.
- Paulina (8/5): Very good - The room was clean, The staff was very helpfull and nice. Contact with the personel was very good. Location is not very good, it is far from The city center, but there is a bus stop, so there was no problem with comminication.
- Kristiana (5/5): Passable -
- Lucia (9/5): Superb - Great breakfast and really nice staff. I recommend this place.
- Maurizio (9/5): Superb -
- Guilherme (3/5): Good location, good room, bad breakfast, bad facilities - Location and big room Breakfast
- Emerson (3/5): Poor - The location is good. The rooms do not have any sound isolation.
It is missing simple maintenance in the room, like the clogged sink, loose chandelier and mold on the bathroom ceiling.
- Strahinja (8/5): Very good - The guy from Philippines who works at housekeeping department was the best. He is so kind, and he knows Jokic :D
- Sílvia (7/5): Good -
- Anna (9/5): Superb - Good location, very nice restaurants nearby, quite spacious room with huge bathroom Lot ot walking from the room to the breakfast, some big bitten me (maybe a moskito or spider)
- Alexander (9/5): Superb -
- Stefania (8/5): Very good -
- Mika (9/5): Superb -
- Davis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sherrie (7/5): Good -
- Ahmed (8/5): I should pick them again - Cozy stay , really helpful staff, fair breakfast with good coffee, high value for money , spacious room, if you like to experience life in local areas heart of rome should be your first choice , really close to major bus stations , it was a valuable stay . Mosquitos some times but this is all over rome .
- Jacqueline (8/5): Very good - The staff was very helpful. The pillows were very uncomfortable and the bed was not good.
- Charissa (8/5): Very good - We picked this place because of its proximity to a subway station which was unfortunately closed 4 out of the 5 days we were there. We were able to go around using the bus but riding a bus with 3 small children is quite stressful ( not the fault of the hotel, obviously). Their breakfast is provided for and is operated by 1-2 of the staff (she does amazing even when by herself...such a champ). The room...well it's a room and it is suitable for the sole purpose of having a place to sleep and shower at while going around the main attractions in Rome. The room is cleaned daily which I liked.
- Sami (7/5): Good -
- Jamie (7/5): Nice little room & breakfast - Nice room close to public transport. Great breakfast. Room was a bit small though the private courtyard helped.
- Hamid (6/5): Pleasant - Nothing Location
- Ryan (8/5): Really clean and accommodating - Nice staff very accommodating, clean tidy rooms
- Jacqueline (8/5): Very good -
- Saad (6/5): Pleasant -
- Mauri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rungaroon (8/5): Very good - Enough space for family with 5 people.Helpful staff. No dish washing solution. Some of Cooking utensil such as pan is not in good condition.
- Amifsud (10/5): Exceptional -
