Guest Reviews

• Angelo (9/5): E’ un appartamento molto confortevole e i responsabili rispondevano subito al telefono - Tutto benissimo
• Rax82 (10/5): -
• Guest (10/5): Excellent service . Owners are very nice, sweet and very helpful . I highly recommend this place . - Everything was well cleaned. Perfect stay if you’re spending a couple of days in Rome. Not too far from all the centric places . Bus stop is very close by . N/a
• Guest (10/5): Bardzo polecam, czysto, codzienne zmienianie ręczników i sprzątanie. Przystanek autobusowy praktycznie po drugiej stroni -
• Tomislav (10/5): -
• Guest (10/5): It was wonderful. - very friendly staff & clean property. Easy to reach everywhere. (friendly suggestion) If the price fits your budget do even hesitate just book :). only the bathroom had an issue that is shower. the water in the shower was not satisfying but the rest was wonderful.
• Romana (8/5): - Velmi mily personal, napomocny.
• Sabina (10/5): - Fantastyczne miejsce blisko centrum. Pokój był bardzo przestronny i dobrze wyposażony. Na plus także codzienna zmiana ręczników i pościeli. Śniadanie na słodko - przepyszne. Właścicielka jest przemiłą i pomocną osobą, a dodatkowo serwuje świetną kawę. Polecam to miejsce jako bazę wypadową - znajduje się blisko Watykanu (ok. pół godziny spacerem), blisko jest również do stacji metra oraz przestanków autobusowych.
• Guest (10/5): Relación calidad-precio el mejor de Roma sin lugar a dudas. - El desayuno pequeñito pero variado y el personal súper atento en todo momento. La ubicación era una zona un poco más alejada del centro ya que era un barrio más residencial que turístico pero está muy bien comunicado con el centro turístico de la ciudad. Nada
• Samanta (9/5): -
• Guest (10/5): -
• GRAZIA MARIA RITA (8/5): comodo e carino -

• Yaseidu (9/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): - Majitelé jsou hodní a obětaví. Ubytování se nachází v dojezdové blízkosti centra města, ale není zde tak rušno. Poblíž je samoobsluha a další vybavenost. Apartmány jsou prostorné, čisté a kvalitní.
• Andreea (10/5): PERFECTO! - La ubicacion perfecta, la dueña muy muy amable, y el desayuno super bueno! Todo fue perfecto
• Stefan (10/5): -
• Marjan (10/5): - It was clean in the room, breakfast was sweet and great. We checked in at night, Debora explained to us how do automatic check in and we easily got into the room. A little far from center but there is bus station in front of house and all buses headed to center, so it was not problem at all. Location is safe what is really important in Rome. Recommended 100%!!
• Juan Francisco (10/5): -
• Mateo (7/5): Plutôt sympas - Niveau emplacement c'est top, suffit de louer un vélo et tout est 15/30min selon ce que vous voulez voir L'isolation de la chambre n'était pas top du tout, on entendais toutes les voitures, motos, scooter et camions toute la nuit, le seul point négatif Car il est situer juste à coter d'un carrefour (pas le magasin)
• John (10/5): It was like home, like visiting family - The location was great, one bus ride to Vatican about 20 min. The host Deborah her sons William and Thomas, they were just awesome, friendly, so helpful and made us feel welcome and they really genuinely cared for us. None
• אחמד (9/5): Superb -
• Mitchell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Irina (8/5): Very good - AC Dirty floors in the room
• Danijela (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
• Anonymous (9/5): Though we only stayed for a day, the hospitality and the thoughtful accommodation was GREAT! - We did not have the luxury of time and was not able to engage in the morning breakfast. The location was perfect. The bus stops going to different places was close by, and there were many places to eat and to shop at...a very convenient spot when one is new to Rome and meaning to discover Rome. Thank you again! There is just one minor comment: when trying to locate the place, I did not realize it was inside another building...if there was a way that one can see outside that the place is inside the building, that could help. I had the impression that Il Pontefice Luxury was a building on its own. But, once I found it, after making a call, everything was great, including the typical Italian hospitality. Ciao!!
• Predrag (9/5): Nice stay - It was very clean and close to the bus stop and taxi station, so it was easy to get to the center. Breakfast was nice and the manager was very friendly. There are really great restaurants nearby so you can have authentic Roman food and cocktails without going to the city center. Walls are very thin so you could hear whatever noise that was happening in the hallway or in the next room.
• Gregory (10/5): Exceptional - This was a great stay! All of the staff were very kind and helpful. The room looked exactly like the pictures. Felt very safe and secure. Gave very clear instructions on how to enter upon arrival, and answered all our questions in a timely manner. I liked everything about the property! Just to note it is a good mile or so away from all of the main places, so be prepared to walk extra, or grab a taxi.
• Federica (9/5): Superb -
• Caitriona (9/5): Clean, comfortable and spacious room. - Lovely spacious and comfortable room. The hosts are very welcoming and nice breakfast. Bus and metro is close by, so it makes it easy to navigate to all the tourist sites in Rome. Our room was to the front and looked out onto a busy road. Could hear passing traffic, didn't bother us too much.
• Schubert (10/5): Simply excellent. Lot of warmth, felt like home away from home. - The breakfast was very homely. It was fresh and tasty and Deborah personally ensured that everyone got what they wanted for breakfast. She and her family made our stay very nice. She helped us with our taxi arrangement and guided us with the restaurants that we could dine at. Her warmth made us feel at home and gave us assurance that we are at the best place. Thank you, Deborah! All was well!
• Manuela (3/5): Poor - well located luxury only in the name. Mold in the shower, insects on the floor. They made our beds on day 2 but did not clear our toilet - which we found very interesting. Only pastries and sweets available for breafast
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Γεωργιοσ (2/5): Very poor - Only the the hostess that was kind and helpful! Disappointing stay – nothing like the photos The room was nothing like what we saw online. It was advertised as a quadruple room, but it was just a small space with one double bed and two camp beds squeezed in. Definitely not suitable for four people. The price does not reflect the quality at all. Sheets and pillows were stained and looked unclean. The room is actually part of an apartment that’s been divided into smaller units, and you can hear everything from the neighboring rooms. The windows had gaps and holes, so it felt like we were sleeping on the street with all the noise. Ironically, the bathroom was more spacious than the actual sleeping area. The use of the word “luxury” in the title is misleading—it’s far from it.
• Neve (10/5): Great accommodation for visiting Rome - Great accommodation a short walk away from the metro (10 mins) or bus that takes you directly into the centre! Lots of shops and restaurants around the area. The host was lovely and put on a great breakfast spread in the morning - the Cornettos were amazing. We arrived late so the self check in process was also so smooth and easy to follow. The room was also super clean and spacious :) N/a
• Sigrid (10/5): Exceptional Service! - Highly Recommend and a truly comfortable stay. The staff were so nice, welcoming and always happy to help.
• Ana (9/5): Superb - Excelent breakfast. Great location. Friendly staff.
• Radu-nicolae (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mohd (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect and the staff was very helpful
• Mariann (9/5): Superb -
• Lazar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Darius (9/5): Large and clean room, not too far from Vatican - Host was friendly and helpful, made sure we have everything we need. The room is quite large. And also the bathroom area was clean. Italian breakfast: coffee and sweets (cake, croissant, pie, butter, jam, etc) Was struggling a bit to find the exact location to the apartment, but the host gave us directions and it was ok in the end. Is located OK, relatively close to Vatican. - make sure you have ear plugs as the location is next to a main street, which has traffic all night long.
• Ariton (7/5): Good -
• Mary (9/5): Superb - Location is great near the Vatican City and transportation is accessible.... Deborah is very accommodating. She assisting us and guide us from day 1 til we fly back to Kuwait...to Deborah and family thank you...

• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sebalj (10/5): Exceptional - great location. great bus connection. a couple of bus stops to St. Peter's Basilica. friendly hosts. neat and clean
• Karrie (10/5): Would come back again - Everything was very cleaned and easily accessible. The staff was very kind and friendly.
• Ryha (8/5): Overall, while the location was good, the quality didn’t quite match up to the price paid. - The room was big enough with clean toilet. The hotel’s location is convenient, with easy access to transport links, which made getting around easy. The kitchen had basic facilities, and breakfast options included croissants, some biscuits, squash juice, and Madeira cake—nothing special, but it was nice to have something available. Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing. The bedsheets, pillows, and towels looked quite worn and didn’t feel as fresh as expected. There were no slippers provided, despite them being shown in the listing. The curtains were also very small, not covering the full window, which made it difficult to sleep due to the light and noise.
• Pârvu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hendrik (8/5): Very good -
• Jurovicki (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation is nice, just like the picture, the rooms are cleaned every day. The landlady is very kind, and is always there to help if you don't know how to get around with buses or anything else. The location is excellent. All recommendations
• Zhang (7/5): Good - Great location. The host was very kind and provided a good breakfast. Sound insulation is poor, but earplugs are provided. Facilities need to be improved, especially for consumables such as towels
• Weiwei (8/5): Very good -
• Giorgi (10/5): A wonderful hospitable family will help you in every possible way to spend an unforgettable time in Rome -
• Ahmed (9/5): Superb -
• Dana (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and Very friendly staff, especially the lady was very helpful and friendly , and good location
• Kristina (8/5): Nice and comfy - Big room with comfort bad. Owner was super helpful all the time. 😊 Best croissants for the breakfast. Need some little repairs in toilet. If you can not sleep due to traffic as me, bring some earplugs or something to calm you.
• Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Monika (7/5): Good - The property was clean, had good ac, near metro station (10 minints to walk). Everything was good, but there is no luxury. Just simple, clean room. The walls are very very poor. We coudin't sleep at night because of the neigbors.
• Mary (5/5): Must have clean the bathroom.🥲 -
• Darya (9/5): Superb -
• Deng (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sachintha (9/5): Superb -
• Mehraein (10/5): Exceptional - It was great! Very lovely staff! We will come back🙏🙏🙏
• Chandran (8/5): Very good -
• Sinisa (6/5): Mixed up feelings - Comfortable and spacious room, excellent bed, high quality mattress and pillows. Polite staff. Good breakfast, excellent coffee. Cleaning and daily towels change. Small fridge in the room. Good air conditioning. We were in Colosseum (quadruple room), and main issue was the bathroom with unpleasant smell of mould. Location isn’t the best one, metro is far away and up hill.
• Abegail (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stella (10/5): Perfect stay! - Everything was fantastic, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and the room is very spacious and clean! Everything was lovely!!!
• Sinan (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was very friendly The usage of facilities were quite relaxed, we always had nice coffee and desserts. The room was big enough. The room was very clean.
• Jacqueline (7/5): Good -
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laura (1/5): Awful experience. - They didn’t leave the keys. They left me with my family in the street. Their didn't leave the keys in the key box and left me with two children in the street at Saturday night in Rome. All communication I have via Whatsapp, their sent me self check-in instructions, I sent my ID and everything was ready to check-in, but their didn't’ leave the keys: maybe forgot, maybe other people took, maybe rent apartment twice, etc. Our flight was delayed and we came at night and were left in the street, with no advice what to do, no apologize, anything. Not enough of that next morning their charged us for not showing up as too late check-in which is absolutely nonsense. It was self check-in instruction and they don’t need to be physically at the property. It’s a fraud, the women is a big lier and don’t have any respect to customer. I have all the communication with her via whatsapp, all voicemails, messages. She was shouting on me all next morning that she is working all day and I’m traveling at nights and she needs to sleep at night. She is not taking responsibility that it’s their fault that the keys were not left. It’s so awful experience, we couldn't find anything in Rome at Saturday night. Their ruined our vacation, and I would never trust this property.
• Jp (10/5): It’s nice place for value and we are very happy about the liocation and value of the money - It’s a great location
• Vještica (10/5): Everything was great. Very pleasant staff, clean room, comfortable bed. - Breakfast was excellent; the croissants we had were phenomenal, as was the cappuccino. The bus station is right across the street, connecting us to all parts of the city and Rome's landmarks. None. Everything was great.
• Alfred (3/5): Big and adequate room. Good location. Bad breakfast. No luxury. - Big and with easy access to transport. Good wifi. Breakfast was totally adequate and should just be excluded as part of the package. There is nothing “luxury” about the place. Staff friendly.
• Armin (9/5): Superb -
• Jose (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eneida (10/5): Excellent - The attention from the staff, the whole family were kind It was a little bit far from the attractions the first day until we know how to use the bus, after that was really easy to go
• Mark (10/5): Great value! Great Host! Highly recommend! - Everything was wonderful! Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Very welcoming. Great directions. Breakfast was perfect for starting our day. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed gelato every night right next door. Two doors down from the gelato 🍧 shop was a great place to sit outside and have wine and pasta. The Vatican was about a 15 minute easy walk. Would absolutely recommend and stay again when back in Rome. Thank you!
• Szymon (9/5): Very satisfied - Very clean place. Good contact with owners. Fresh towels every day. Nice interior, spacious room. Great room's balcony where you can drink free coffee (or tea) from the kitchen. A few restaurants and caffes nearby. Breakfast could be a bit better like toasts. Not in favor of the same cakes for breakfast every day.
• Tomasz (10/5): One oft the best places I visited. - The host was soo friendly. Very nice communication. I would always come back ! Thank you ❤️
