Guest Reviews

• jozsef (9/5): -
• Klaudia (10/5): Amazing! - Perfect localisation few minutes away from metro. The staff is so helpful and nice! The room is clean and comfortable - you get all you need - towels, shower gel etc. Classic Italian breakfast included in price, you get vouchers for coffee, juice and croissant to use in the cafeteria across the street. Recommend so so much! 10/10!
• KOTROZOS (7/5): - Ωραία τοποθεσία. Εύκολή πρόσβαση στα Μέσα Μαζικής Μεταφοράς της Ρώμης. Πολύ κοντά στο Βατικανό. Πολύ θόρυβος από την πολυκατοικία που στεγάζεται το b&b.
• Robyn (10/5): Super nice! - Very nice proprietor, good location in quiet but lifelt neighborhood, very comfortable room.
• Stefania (9/5): - Pulizia, camera accogliente, posizione strategica
• Brendan (8/5): - We only stayed one night The owner was very helpful and accommodating .very close to the Basilica.very close to metro. Water left in fridge . The bed was not that comfortable.
• Ferruccio (8/5): - Ottima la posizione vicinissima alla Basilica di San Pietro, vicinissima alla metropolitana. Il proprietario era gentile e disponibile.
• Marcos Aurelio (10/5): A melhor estadia B&B que você pode ficar em Roma - Foi o melhor B&B que já ficamos em toda a vida. O Roberto nos recebeu na porta e foi sensacional em todo o tempo. Sempre muito atencioso e prestativo. O quarto fica em um prédio antigo, bem conservado e com elevador. Estava arrumado e cheiroso quando chegamos. Com frigobar, cafeteira, capsulas de café e chá, além de bolachas e petiscos, o quarto é bem espaçoso para o padrão da acomodação Muito bem localizado, bem próximo do Vaticano e ao lado da estação de metrô que cobre os principais pontos turísticos de Roma. O café da manhã é servido logo a frente do prédio, em uma cafeteria bem charmosa e é bem gostoso. Ao redor há muitas lojas, restaurantes e supermercados. Realmente vale muito a pena ficar aqui. Gostamos de tudo, de tudo!!
• Maria Chiara Cattaneo (10/5): -

• Andrey (10/5): - Хорошее местоположение.Гостеприимный хозяин.все прекрасно!
• stefano (9/5): Roberto molto accogliente e disponibile. Posizione eccellente! - La colazione al bar di fronte con cappuccio, cornetto e spremuta. Posizione ottima per vicinanza San Pietro e metro. Non abituati al rumore del wc biologico a metà notte!
• Boglárka (10/5): Perfect for tourist - Roberto was so nice, he explained everything and gave advice about the area. The apartment is close to Vatican and metro station. Many shops, restaurants and bars in the area. It could be noisy at night even so the street is not so busy.
• Heidi (9/5): Will come back - Great location, nice and friendly staff (Roberto) and good communication😊 Big room and a fridge. The toilet and the exhaust fan in the bathroom were very noisy. Cold water in the shower in the morning
• Diane (9/5): It was a great location for visiting the Vatican. The property owners (Roberto&Lilian) were great. - The breakfast was provided by Mozart Cafe. It consisted of juice, coffee, and croissant. It was very good. The location was great, very close walking distance to the Vatican. It would have been nice to have a chair in the room to relax in. There was a small bench against the entry wall, but wasn't something that you could relax in. It was fine for putting on your shoes.
• Heike (10/5): -
• Penny (10/5): - Checking in,/out was very easy. They stored our luggage while we did some site seeing in the morning. No dislikes
• Gilles (8/5): -
• Giaconi (10/5): - Tutto perfetto! Solo la colazione al bar può essere migliorata...
• Nina (9/5): - Sehr nettes kleines Hotel nahe Vatikan. Super freundliches Personal. Frühstück war im Café gegenüber. Es hat alles gepasst.
• Sergiy (9/5): - Excellent location, close to metro and Vatican. Spacious room with high ceiling and quality renovation. The breakfast included just pretend to be a breakfast. Cup of coffee and croissant.
• Isabel (10/5): Unas vacaciones a Pura vida bella!! - Me encanto al ubicacion, era muy tranquilo y un area segura, teniamos tiendas restaunates sitios de atraccion a pocos cuadras, la habitacion bonita, acogedora, limpia, teniamos internet, agua caliente Tv, facil paracomunicacion siempre super amable para ayudarnos, quedamos super encantados con los servicio que recibimos Nada, a nosotros nos gustó todo, la comunicación fue buenísima, Roberto estuvo preocupado por estar al momento de nuestra llegada al igual que de nuestra salida para ayudarnos, quedamos muy agradecidos a todas sus atenciones. Nos proporcionó mucha información muy importante para movilizarnos alrededor de la ciudad. Nos proporciaron desayunos italianos buenos.
• Julia (9/5): - Blisko do najważniejszych atrakcji, nie trzeba korzystać z metra. W okolicy dużo sklepów spożywczych. Dobre śniadania w kawiarni znajdującej się blisko apartamentu. Dodatkowo miły i pomocny właściciel. Hałas przy spływającej wodzie i zapalaniu światła w łazience
• Paty Baigts (10/5): Excelente opción - La zona donde se ubica es muy linda y segura, llena de restaurantes, tiendas agradables y muy cerca del Vaticano. La habitación y el edificio impecables, con desayuno italiano para empezar el.dia en una cafetería enfrenté. Roberto es una persona muy agradable, amable y pendiente de darte recomendaciones para que estés a gusto en su alojamiento y en Roma. Lo recomiendo mucho! Nada. Todo bien.
• JOHANNES (9/5): - Perfect location Roberto is very friendly and helpful Bed comfortable Easy access to Metro Breakfast is simple
• Bélanger (9/5): -
• Sara (10/5): Great hotel! Would definitely stay again! - Room was neat and clean exactly like the pictures. Host was friendly welcoming and flexible. We went able to get cash to pay the city tax until the last day but he was understanding which we appreciated. The cafe breakfast vouchers were convenient but definitely go early for better pastries! Beautiful view! The room had a very strong stench of cleaning scents/perfumes. It gave both my friend and I headaches even after airing out the room for several hours. We asked the host to use no scented products the next day (even if it meant reduced cleaning) and it was definitely milder but still very strong and had to be aired out.
• Bence (9/5): Kiváló, mindenkinek ajánlom. Jó ár/érték arány. - Nagyon jó a lokáció, viszonylag csendesebb utca. Roberto nagyon kedves volt, tisztaság és jó a felszereltség is. Nem volt ilyen!
• Paolo (8/5): - L'insieme per due o tre GG. Il bagno fuori stanza. Non è il massimo.
• Stefanie (10/5): Die Unterkunft ist für Rom eine super Wahl! - Eine super Unterkunft in Rom, Die Lage ist top, wirklich ganz nah an der Metrostation Ottavian. Es gibt kleine Supermärkte in der Nähe sowie Geschäfte und auch Waschsalons. Die Unterkunft liegt in einem Wohnhaus, sehr ruhig mit Aufzug und sehr guter Klimaanlage. Die Betreuung durch Roberto ist top!! So eine saubere Unterkunft hatten wir in Italien noch nie. Frühstück gibt es schräg gegenüber im Café Mozart; ein typisches italienisches Frühstück mit Kaffee, Orangensaft und einem Gebäckteil. Sauberkeit Lage Ausstattung
• Hubert (10/5): - Lokalizacja świetna blisko Watykanu i atrakcji w Rzymie dla chcącego wszytko można spacerkiem odwiedzić. Pan Roberto bardzo miły i uprzejmy, śniadania serwowane naprzeciwko bardzo smaczne i szybko podawane. Serdecznie polecam i napewno kiedyś odwiedzę ponownie.
• Barnes (6/5): Walking distance to Vatican City - Great location, nice quiet street. Longer walk to Vatican City than I was expecting....but it wasn't bad. Beautiful area. Enjoyed walking around in the evening, and coffee in the morning. The air-conditioning didn't work while we were there, it may very well have been that I didn't know how to work it. The people were very friendly.
• Pedro Jorge (10/5): - Para começar um grande obrigado ao SR Roberto por tudo. Tudo de bom quarto grande, cama muito confortável, muito limpo, com café , água,bolachas, chá tudo de bom. Aconselho a todos da gente. Mais uma vez obrigado sr Roberto.
• Natasha (7/5): -
• Magdalena (10/5): Fantastic place in Rome - Great communication with the owner, fantastic location and delicious breakfast. The apartament was very clean and comfortable:)
• Oleksandr (9/5): Superb - Good location, comfortable room. Quiet area.
• Anonymous (10/5): Great location, clean room with everything you need - The property owner was so kind and helpful. The photos do not do this place justice, it is such a nice and clean space for a great price. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from the Vatican and 20-30 minute walk to other key locations. Located in a beautiful safe area with public transportation close by. Nothing
• Choxeli (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natan (9/5): Superb -
• Luca (8/5): Very good -
• Aine (10/5): Clean and safe - Very clean and safe. Few minutes walk to Vatican City and train stations. Lovely staff
• Nedim (8/5): Very good - Location is very nice and safe near to the Vatican and also metro station, nice restaurants nearby. Wifi is very good Room and facilities are the same as written at Booking.com The owner waited for me to checkin earlier (As this is not hotel there is no reception, you have to contact with them before for about checkin time). Very polite person The 1st day we found in the room juice, bottled water, coffee&tea snacks (Days after they are not replaced, 3rd day we asked for coffee and tea and they supplied without problem) Checkout time is 10:00 is too early . In the hotels you can leave the baggages in the reception after checkout, in here you can leave but you have to inform them the time you will pick your luggage that they will be waiting for you. Breakfast is at a cafe across the building, Simple very limited but tasty, 1 croissant, 1coffee and 1juice. Good that you can have it any time you want.
• Karen (10/5): Perfect place to explore the Vatican and Rome - A lovely room, with everything we needed. The bed, pillows and bedding were really comfortable! Attentive hosts, really friendly. Breakfast is in a cafe opposite, we got a coffee, juice and fresh croissant. Daily towel change and replenishment of coffee and tea. Would have preferred crockery for the tea and coffee, but that's a personal preference.
• Graham (9/5): Most unexpected friendly and hospitable stay. - the breakfast was well recomended and very well received.Also the owners of the B & B are very friendly and helpful.
• Bartosz (9/5): Superb -
• Sandy702 (9/5): Comfortable stay near Vatican City - Roberto is an excellent host. He greeted us on arrival, even though our flight was delayed. We took a taxi from the airport, $52, which was really easy. Reserved through Booking. Roberto made sure we settled into the room. This is a great location for visiting Vatican City/museum. All within a 10-15 min easy walk, even for my elderly mother. The neighborhood felt safe even walking at night. Having a mini refrigerator and a kettle in the room was convenient. Good breakfast, lunch and dinner locations near by. The shower and toilet space is s little tight but good hot water.
• Thanh (8/5): Very good -
• Kudrat (10/5): Cleanest, Comfortable rooms and Amazing Host - The Host Roberto is an excellent person. He was so prompt. He waited for us downstairs to greet us. Location is amazing. Walking distance from Vatican City’s all attractions like Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica. Metro A station Ottaviano just 200 m. Bus stops near-by. All big attractions like Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Colosseum, Vittorio Emmanuel II Palace, Termini Station can be visited using Metro. Breakfast meal place was also very good. So friendly staff, they know English, Deutsch also in addition to Italian. Apple combined charger for watch/airpods and iPhone. Extremely clean rooms and washrooms. Floor was shining. Why didn’t I book it for just 3 days. I should have booked it for longer stay.
• Relu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kirsten (6/5): Nice stay - Nice room, welcoming host and nice breakfast in the local cafe. Convenient location next to the metro and approx 25 minute walk into tourist attractions. Room was quite unclean with lots of dust and shower had mould. Shower was also on the verge of being broken and ran out of hot water very quickly. Breakfast was a coffee, juice and pastry which was nice but a little simple and was not advertised as being this. Did not appreciate being accused of leaving the lift door open when we had not used the lift.
• Zsolt (8/5): Very good - Good location, easy to check-in, amazing host Close proximity of our room to public toilet. Continuously waking us up after lock-unlocking doors, noise from circulation fan, very thin walls.
• Julieta (10/5): Excelent - I booked for my parents and they are really satisfied about everything, specially the attention of owners who take care of them from the arrival moment, waiting for them and giving a bunch of good recommendations
• Kara (8/5): Very good - Location was great Nothing
• Emmanouela (9/5): Very clean room. Thanks for hosting us! - Very kind hosts. Convenient location, next to the metro. Clean. I loved the pillows. Simple breakfast, but still ok. I would definitely go back. Overall very happy.
• Doğa (9/5): Superb - Location was good; you can either walk or take the subway. It is just 150 meters by walking. You can reach the staff only by phone; they are not in the building all the time.
• Jakub (10/5): Everything was great! - Staff, location, breakfast Nothing
• Samuel (8/5): Very good -
• Egor (9/5): Superb - Very nice and helpful host! It was clean and fresh. Great location. It's nice that there's a coffee machine, some snacks and water in the room. Service is great! It's the best option in the great and safe neighborhood close to Vatican for the price. Bathroom was next door to our room for our room specifically. It was private still but we had to make some noise in a corridor to get there.
• Linda (7/5): Good - Not far away from metro, nice presents from hosts cookies and juice in fridge.. Toilet is very noisy especially in nights when is quiet. If you going to Rome in colder month it can be chilly in room. Breakfast is small only coffee and croissant.
• Samanta (9/5): Amazing, comfortable, clean and modern place close to many cafes, restaurants and the Vatican. - Loved the design, how clean it was. The window view looked great, at night especially. Very modern, the tv worked perfectly. There was free coffee, tea and a few snacks. There was juice and water in the fridge. Everything was perfect. Umbrellas were available whenever it rained. There was help service numbers placed both in the corridor and place of stay. The cafe that provided you with free breakfast was amazing. Not only that it was right across from the property, but the people there were very nice and the food was delicious. The property also provided a lot of tourist papers and books, such as maps and places to eat. The room was only on the 2nd floor so it was easy to get to. Other than that, there is an old fashioned elevator, which is really nice to see as a tourist. The owners were lovely. The place is also very close to the Vatican, so we were able to walk to it for 5 mins. It is an amazing location, definitely worth the price. There isn’t much negative to say about the property. I would say, going to the bathroom through the corridor isn’t that ideal since I feel like I’d be making a lot of noise walking in and out. There also wasn’t enough cups to drink from. Even though we were provided with a number of the owner if there are any concerns, I felt like there should have been more cups, same with the coffee pods and sugar. Not sure if many people mention it, but a bottle opener would have been ideal. I wish the towels were changed everyday as well. Other than that, I was very happy with my place of stay.
• Maree (10/5): Perfectly clean - The top Washington of great value alll that we needed close to shops and had a lovely breakfast that was provided by Pura Vida , we also went there for tea and was amazing highly recommend this place . Nothing
• Betty (10/5): B&B GREAT, STAFF VERY FRIENDLY & HELPFULL - perfect
• Waldyr (10/5): I wish I could stay more time there. - Very well located just a couple minuted walk from the train station and 10 minutes from the Vatican. Nice and cosy bedroom with coffee machine and snacks included. Lilli and Roberto were very helpful and looked after us during the stay. The breakfast place was awesome, classic Italian coffee shop with good food and coffee.
• Jodie (8/5): Very good -
• Diana (8/5): Very good - Beds were not that comfortable, street is a little noisy
• Megan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rojas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (7/5): Good - The room was very quiet, comfortable and clean. The owner was pleasant when we met her during check-in. Having to travel down the hall outside the room to get to the bathroom and have to then open and lock the bathroom with a key was very inconvenient. We didn’t realize we would have to go up several flights of stairs to get to the room, but there is a very tiny elevator.
• Bogdan-eugen (10/5): Great location, definitely recommend - Great location close to Vatican city and a variety of shops and eateries, two minutes walk from Ottaviano metro station on line A Super clean, very comfy bed, all in all great Nothing not to like
• Giorgi (9/5): Good experience with the hosts and good choice in overall -
• Yerkhan (9/5): Superb - Very helpful stuff, good location, clean and nice room. Breakfast include only the coffee, juice and one croissant, but it’s Italian classic breakfast Nothing
• Austeja (9/5): Superb - the room is very good. Thanks Sad, that bathroom is not in the room you live, you have to go to the next door.
• Anastasia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rochdi (8/5): Everything was good except the breakfast! - kindness of the owners, cleanliness, and simplicity! The breakfast, they must do more efforts because the available one is ridiculous as Italian hosts!
• Irene (10/5): Exceptional - The room was very cosy, clean and welcoming. Bed was very comfortable. Host was very helpful.
• Joan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna (9/5): Great place! - Very nice, comfortable and clean place, great location, good contact with the owner Everything was great, except one detail, which was a bit dissapointing. We were traveling with carry-on luggage, so the information that the apartment offers free toiletries was quite important to us. The free toiletries turned out to be a tiny bottle of shower gel and shampoo - far too little for 2 people for a 3 nights stay. On the second-to-last day of our stay, the room was being cleaned and we expected a refill of toiletries. Imagine our disappointment when we returned late in the evening after exploring the city in 40 degree heat... luckily we took some soap with us. So if you're considering booking Pura Vida - don't hesitate, it offers everything you need for a short stay, but ask for more soap and shampoo before it ends :)
• Sxx (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great location, metro is also just around the corner. Close to the Vatican. We enjoyed the breakfast in a café opposite the accommodation. In the room there is a coffee machine as well as a water cooker with tea, coffee and cookies. We enjoyed our stay.
• Makhoul (8/5): Very good - Staff
• Isabella (8/5): Very good -
• Eliza (9/5): Superb - The bed was sooo comfy! Nice room in a good location. The toilet made some weird noises and unfortunately there was no iron/iron board available so had to venture out looking like a crinkle cut chip everyday
• Thomas (9/5): Good location - super helpful and friendly hosts - The location is near the Metro station and a gateway to all sorts of places. It is near Vatican City. The Mozart's Cafe staff were very friendly and the breakfast was simple but nice. The Pura Vida folk who saw to our stay were very hospitable and enjoyable. The communication was excellent. A chair to sit on (even very simple) would have been nice.
• Etienne (10/5): If i will come To Rome again I will book the same at Pura Vida. - Very Clean and the staff are very helpful. We liked everything.
• Χristina (8/5): Nice location, close to Ottaviano metro station and to Vatican City - Very clean, polite people Our room had the bathroom outside the room
• Isobel (9/5): Planning to return in Autumn - Great location, very comfortable and clean. 5 mins from metro, 10 mins St Peter's. Very friendly. Breakfast at the bar across the street was lovely. Definitely would visit again. I liked it all but I suggest visitors text them a little before arrival as they need to meet you.
• Delos (10/5): Exceptional - Location excellent near the Vatican and great cafes
• Mario (8/5): Very good -
• Rigoberto (9/5): Roberto was excellant and very heplful and friendly - The room nice and clean location was great close to metro and The Vatican and resturants The Bar on the street was a bit noisy and loud but only one night
• Katja (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zuzana (8/5): Very good - Excellent location, metro just around the corner, walking distance to Vatican, variaty of restaurants, cafes, shops. Unfortunately, we found that the breakfast options provided were not as substantial or satisfying as we had hoped or experienced elsewhere. I believe a more robust breakfast selection would contribute positively to the overall guest experience.
• Hristiyan (9/5): Great place for a trip to Rome - The location is excellent - very close to the Vatican, two metro stations, and few tourist attractions. The room was as advertised. Breakfast (served in a cafe across the street) was nice. Staff replied quickly to our questions. Wifi worked the whole time without any issues. The room in general was quiet, although some noises could be heard from outside - especially when they were cleaning the street.
• Martine (9/5): very good situated b&b, friendly host, very clean and well decorated room -
• Aleksandra (8/5): Very good -
• Gintarė (10/5): holiday - I really liked the helpfulness of the staff. Helped to solve all problems. The room is tidy. Really I liked everything. -
