Guest Reviews
- sankiewicz (1/5): - Lokalizacja Pobyt oceniam słabo. W pokoju panowała wilgoć, był ciasny i mało komfortowy. Dodatkowo unosił się nieprzyjemny zapach. Toaleta była zepsuta – spłuczka nie działała, a woda cały czas ciekła, co utrudniało korzystanie z łazienki. Noc była przez to bardzo niekomfortowa.
- Bílková (9/5): - Skvělá lokalita,paní velmi příjemná a ochotná,vše nám poradila ohledně dopravy i restaurací. Bylo k dispozici i placené parkování což bylo jedinečné. Jediný problém byl strašně malý tlak vody ve sprše takže se opravdu nedal splachnout šampon z vlasů.
A záchodové prkénko neodpovídalo velikosti záchodu a pohybovalo se.
- Basil (10/5): -
- piergiorgio (8/5): - la posizione, i servizi forniti, il rapporto qualità/prezzo e la gentilezza dei proprietari. la camera è piccolina, sufficiente per qualche notte
- Shannon (7/5): cute - the location was perfect nothing it was perfect
- Johannes (1/5): Bad - This is not a hotel, it is an apartment that someone is renting out. There was a definite SCAM feel to the whole thing, but I genuinely believe it was just unprofessionalism rather than malice.
Arrival:
We arrived, no one was there. After 30 minutes of trying to contact them (our phones were almost empty), they called us back. Back and forth on WhatsApp (?). They wanted us to upload pictures of our passport to an unknown website (which is at least suspicious). In the end, we entered the apartment through a lock system.
The room:
We were there in November and it was cold. The room was cold, the water was cold, well, you get the idea... The bathroom has no door, so get used to seeing your spouse on the toilet...
The location:
The location is shit, as there is no tram station nearby, so get used to relying on rather unreliable Roman buses or walking 20-30 minutes to the nearest train station beside a 6-lane motorway.
The "breakfast":
The breakfast is a single croissant + a coffee.
- Lusine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matteo (9/5): Superb - The hosts are very nice and the location is pretty good for the money you pay The bathroom is a bit small and there's no muck room for putting your stuff
- Campilla (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jipar (8/5): Overall, a great place to stay while in Rome - The place was nice with very comfortable beds and great hosts. Vatican is 20 min walk from the hotel. Would be nice to have disposable slippers as the floor was quite cold.
- Carol (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yulia (9/5): Superb - The apartment is good: an apartment and three rooms. There is a refrigerator in the shared kitchen, a kettle. In general, it is quiet, but if all the rooms are occupied, it will be noisy, since it is just a three-room apartment. Parking is in the yard under the barrier, but in fact on the driveway: you stand uphill on the descent. Breakfast is a coupon for coffee and a croissant in the cafe opposite.
Polite hosts 😊 1) air conditioner - it creaked and it was uncomfortable to sleep with it. Noisy. 2) the toilet seat was broken - it would be good to fix it.
- Claudia (9/5): Superb - The hosts were nice, supportive and helped us with check in/check out. The breakfast is at a close cafeteria which has delicious products. The apartment is close to multiple bus stations and a supermarket is just around the corner. We did not have a wardrobe as I was expected for the room and from pictures; the windows did not have functional one of the blinds;bathroom and the shower could have been in a better shape;noisy during week days because în the near building is a massive reconstruction.
- Meenakshi.r (7/5): Good -
- Kire (8/5): Great - It was in a good position close to bus metro and attractions clean the room had shutters the room was dark very professional host communicative and helpful The glass panels above the sliding door lit up the room at night everytime someone walked in the hallway there was no water the day it was hot on the day we checked in
- Aoqin (8/5): Very good -
- Mher (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was super!
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Very helpful and nice people, the bed is super comfortable, it's well connected to the Vatican city.
- Ruckajakub (10/5): Exceptional -
- A. (9/5): Superb - Location is good you can reach by bus easily from popular places to hotel, breakfast is acceptable owner directs you to a close cafe, parking is possible, owners are very kind. Room facilities can be increased.
- Fotios (9/5): Great location with parking for a weekend in Rome with family (1 child 2 years old) - Nice and safe location for a family with a babe who arriving by car. Parking in the area close to the appartment. Nice breakfast in a cafe near to apt also. The room was fine for a family like us, There is a super market at the corner. Very good trasportation to city center by bus. The room can be more clean. No daily or just at once cleaning room.
- Maria (9/5): Superb -
- Mariia (8/5): Very good -
- Emilis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ana (7/5): Good -
- Mahmoud (8/5): Very good -
- Monica (9/5): Superb -
- Martina (9/5): Superb -
- Gil (10/5): We only stayed for one night. Overall it was a wonderful stay. Thanks Matthew and Martina. - Location and easy access to the two bus stops that can take you to the Vatican or to the middle of Rome. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Matthew and Martina were very gracious and accommodating. Very hard to find. We got to the location all right, but the parking lot area is a one way direction and full of cars. We ended up on two roads that were both blocked with horizontal metal gates. The one in the right going up hill is actually the right one, but we didn’t know at the time (no signs or anything). A lady that passed by told us that the road on the left is private property and that maybe the hotel is in the other end. So we backed up the car, went back to the main road, drove to the other end, and it was a dead end again. We finally called the hotel and fortunately Martina answered and directed us to go back to where we were initially, and when got there the metal gate that blocked the road to the right was up. There should have been a more clearer direction, like to park on the parking lot and then give the property a call so they can open the gate.
- Laurynas (9/5): Superb - Very good location. Near Vatican. Very well equipt. Flexible with check in and check out. It was not clear about breakfast. We got 1card for one day at local cafeteria. But next days not. So not sure how it was.
- Svetla (7/5): Good -
- Aexandra (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly, hospitable attitude from the staff (Matteo and Martina). We had a small problem with WIFI connection, the staff responded fast to fix it.
The apartment was cosy, clean in a calm area with walking proximity to Vatican.
- Fedor (10/5): Excellent - The room is not big, but there are all , what we need(good shower, air condition, good bed, water)
- Silvia (9/5): Awesome - Clean facilities, comfortable bed. Quiet neighborhood, kind staff Located a little bit far from the city center, but bus stop was very close. Either way we walked every day, if you’re a good walker it wouldn’t be a problem
- Sanjasu (10/5): Excellent place to stay in Rome - Everything was excellent, from hosts, apartment, breakfast, everything! I sincerely recommend you this apartment.
The bus stop is near the apartment, and also you can easily get into the center of Rome, to the Colosseum (just use bus 916).
The hosts are very kind and take care of the accommodation, everything is perfectly clean and tidy 🥳🥳🥳
- Cagatay (9/5): Superb -
- Tanasescu (10/5): Cozy - Quiet location, welcoming, communicative hosts, the area is 15 minutes walk from the Vatican. Many shops, restaurants and mini-market, nearby. A place where we would gladly return.
- Muhammad (9/5): Superb - Cosy and comfy room.
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - The location and cleanliness were excellent. it was a bit difficult to find but the host was able to find me.
- Basma (10/5): This is a great little place! super clean and tidy and in a great location. The staff were so nice and communicated so w -
- Satya (7/5): Central location and convenient to reach major attractions - Like the couple hosting this property. Provided necessary information on the first day. Easy to communicate and no problems during the stay. Property is in center and near to Vatican, Colosseum and other attractions. Bus stop is near by and convenient. Room size is small even for a couple. Shower is small and difficult to move. Later days of my Italy trip, I realized the showers are pretty much same size everywhere. Address of the property in Google maps is showing in the blue high rise building which is incorrect. The property is behind the blue building.
- Tauri (9/5): Superb -
- Marija (10/5): Exceptional - We had everything that we needed. The location is a little tricky to find so the owner waited for us outside which was really nice of him. They also provided us with an iron and held our luggage until our flight. The room was nice and clean. The bathroom had a big sink which is a plus. Would recommend!
- Roxanne (9/5): The hosts were very nice and responsive. Superb stay! - the property is close to establishments and tourist attractions! 🌟
- Effie (9/5): Superb - A beautiful, comfortable and clean place 🙂
People were also very friendly!
- David (8/5): Good if basic accommodation at a good price. - Good if somewhat basic accommodation. Price OK. Within walking distance (2 km) of the Vatican. Shops nearby, cafes also, but restaurants were 10 minutes walk. Reasonably quiet location, set a short way back from a main road. It was very hard to find, and to get to. Next time I will ensure that the place is near the Metro! There was a separate kitchen provided, but the refrigerator was switched off. There were not enough power outlets, and most of them had an Italian socket that does not take standard two-pin plugs. Using the kettle provided required some improvisation.
If you take a taxi to it, ask for "Via Gregorio VII, number 301". That is also the best address to input into a satnav.
- Luigi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roberta (8/5): Very good -
- Joanna (9/5): Amazing place, felt like at home, great value for the price! - Good location, supermarket and a few restaurants nearby, friendly host, clean room, free toiletries. We had a kettle, cups and snacks in the room as well as a full kitchen nearby. Since we were in January and the flat is on the ground floor, it was pretty cold (especially floor), so we had AC turned on almost all the time. Some slippers would have helped.
- John (8/5): Very good -
