Guest Reviews
- Kumpulainen (6/5): 3 yötä Roomassa - Sijainti oli todella hyvä, pääsi helposti kaikkiin nähtävyyksiin niin kävellen kuin bussilla.
Alue turvallisen oloinen. Lähellä kahviloita ja ruokakauppoja.
Jääkaappi huoneessa oli hyvä asia. Huoneen äänieristys todella surkea. Ulkoa kuului kaikki puhe, koirien haukkuminen ja liikenteen meteli. Tien toisella puolella koirapuisto. Ilman korvatulppia ei voinut nukkua. Valaistus olisi voinut olla parempi. Nuo puiset sälekaihtimet oli pidettävä alhaalla, ne blokkasi hieman melua.
Petivaatteiden siisteydessä parantamisen varaa myös. Ikean ohuet peitot tahraisia.
Ilmastointilaite ei oikein toiminut. Tai sitten ei vaan osattu käyttää.
- Al M (10/5): Excellent - Excellent stay, great location, great staff N/A

- Carlo (6/5): Discreto nel complesso - Facoltà di accesso alla struttura , mentre metro e bus sono distanti.Zona Prati bel quartiere residenziale . Vicino al foro italico che si raggiunge comodamente a piedi Paragono ad un hotel tre stelle , una stanza e un piccolo bagno . Spazi esigui
- Roberto (7/5): - Facile da prenotare. Ottimo per il contatto con gestore. Posizione comoda per raggiungere Foro italico e stadio olimpico Pulizia non impeccabile. Stanza e soprattutto bagno avrebbe bisogno di rinnovo.
- Alessandro (9/5): Very nice stay, good position! - Good selection for breakfast -
- maria (6/5): - El lugar es lindo No había calefacción, me hizo mucho frío en la noche
- Guy (3/5): Très mauvaise isolation donc pas de repos et de sommeil - La localisation Beaucoup de bruit, mauvaise isolation ( pas de double vitrage). La fenêtre principale est située sur la rue. Faute d’isolation, on entend tous les bruits de la rue qui est très passante.
- apostolis eleutherios (7/5): -
- Marina (10/5): -
- madalena (9/5): -
- Karolina (10/5): - Czysty, przestronny pokój z łazienką. Lokalizacja w bardzo ładnej, spokojnej dzielnicy. Bardzo blisko Watykanu i metra.
- Corrado (9/5): -
- Oksana (10/5): - Небольшой отель в жилом районе, по улицам которого просто приятно идти. Зеленый чистый, спокойный. Номер комфортный, Есть чайник и кофемашина, а к ним чай, кофе, сахар и выпечка. Заселение прошло без проблем - были получены подробные пояснения. До исторического центра пешком минут 20-25, но вокруг несколько автобусных остановок. Добираться до аэропорта или вокзала удобно.
- Alessandro (7/5): - Ampia camera da letto, stanza ordinata e ben tenuta, accesso alla struttura comodo e veloce, buona scelta per una colazione veloce direttamente in camera senza bisogno di uscire.
Ampio e comodo box doccia. Ho trovato il letto matrimoniale troppo rigido per me, il letto aggiuntivo presente anche se non doveva essere usato l'ho trovato sporco con le lenzuola macchiate, consiglierei un pizzico di attenzione in più.
Finestre a vetro singolo non insonorizzate, si sentono molto i rumori esterni.
- MagdaZW (9/5): Quiet and comfortable stay near the Vatican - Well located (especially for those who mainly want to visit the Vatican). Quiet and peaceful neighborhood, a bit away from the busy tourist center. Nice and spacious room, very clean, with coffee-making facilities, rolls, and cookies. The city tax (€24 for two people for two nights!) had to be paid in cash, and we had to arrange a separate meeting to hand it over. Couldn't it really have been included in the price and paid cashlessly?

- Enrica (8/5): -
- Giuseppe (8/5): -
- Giordano (10/5): -
- Ancilla (10/5): - Disponibilità della proprietaria, pulizia e stato della camera. Palazzo signorile
- Alessia (8/5): - Pulizia al top, camera ordinata e profumata.
Quartiere super carino, pieno di localini e non affollato di turisti. Alcuni elementi di arredo erano antiquati, per esempio la testiera del letto perdeva dei pezzettini di pelle essendo molto consumata. Anche la doccia aveva delle parti abbastanza consumate dal calcare.
- Daniela (9/5): -
- GIANLUCA (8/5): -
- Andrew (9/5): - Everything was great. Communication on id requirement and entry details could have been quicker.
- Alessandra (7/5): - La stanza era molto comoda e ben climatizzata. Ottima la pulizia. Non c'era uno spazio comune e c'erano giusto solo due caffè.
- walter (9/5): -
- Ekaterina (10/5): За такую цену очень хороший вариант! - Очень удобный матрас. Мы жили в январе. Есть отопление в номере, было тепло. 10 минут от метро по прямой. Вода в душе горячая и ее хватало на двоих. Есть кофе и булочки бесплатно. Очень приятно. Магазины недалеко. Каждый день интересовались нужна ли уборка. Нам понравилось приедем еще. Есть мелкие дефекты типа сломанного крючка.
- James (9/5): Charming rooms in striking distance of most areas. - This is a nicely kept, secure room with part-time desk service and daily turn down. Everything that needs to work, works! Transport connections are fairly good from here; buses within a few hundred metres run in several directions, including to the nearest metro if you don't want to walk the 10mins there. Reasonable restaurants/cafes, etc within a few mins. Some noise from outside every night may disturb light-sleepers. This is common to any building of this type. Luckily, this is a fairly quiet street.

- Giulio (10/5): Tutto ok! Ottima camera, profumata e pulita - Tutto ok! Ottima camera, profumata e pulita
- Carmine (9/5): -
- Maria Pia (9/5): - Location, pulizia e comfort.
- Denise (10/5): - Ottima posizione, bella accoglienza, personale gentile e disponibile, camera pulita
- Rita (5/5): - Due merendine comprate al supermercato, due succhi di frutta, due yogurt… poi c’era il caffè con la macchinetta e il bollitore… Non abbiamo utilizzato la colazione se non in parte perché non era idonea per noi, quindi siamo andati in un bar vicino alla camera e lì abbiamo fatto una mega colazione con i fiocchi!
Suggeriamo quindi una convenzione con quel bar che serve anche clienti vegani ed è magnifico mangiare una brioche vegana! Per la modica cifra di Cinque euro: due brioche, due cappuccini di cui uno con la bevanda alla soia perché io non bevo latte vaccino. Come scritto sopra la colazione e poi, aumenterei i prodotti per l’igiene quotidiana
- Sara (9/5): -
- Laurence (5/5): Our stay was ok.the owner responded promptly for all our enquires - It was clean overall Towels had holes torn, shower head came off, lack of instruction for the various aspects of apartment eg how to close shutters, the location was far from convenience.
- Lowri (10/5): We are so grateful… - Such a lovely, comfortable stay here. We had 3 nights and felt right at home. Spacious and clean. Lots of character to the interior too, which was a bonus (if you’re an art lover!).
Self check in/ out, which wasn’t an issue, with communication from the host via WhatsApp. Any queries we had were answered pretty quickly, so couldn’t fault them.
One thing to really emphasise is the honesty and helpfulness of the host. Myself and my partner had realised after leaving that we had left a fair amount of euros in the safe. This was quickly rectified and the host kindly transferred the sum to us. We were unbelievably grateful for their honesty!!
The location is great for exploring Rome, with 2 stations a 10 min walk away from Athena Guest House, with lots of lovely restaurants local to us with a great atmosphere.
Thanks again for a brilliant stay! Highly recommend if you’re considering booking ✔️

- Massimiliano L. (9/5): Consigliato - La posizione è strategica. A pochi minuti dal centro e dallo Stadio Olimpico. Zona tranquilla e ben servita. Personale gentilissimo, Check-in e Check-out veramente easy, proprietaria disponibilissima alle nostre richieste In verità non c'è niente che non mi sia piaciuto. Sicuramente qualche dettaglio da migliorare in bagno ed in generale, ma nulla di particolare
- Alessandro (9/5): Guest house comodissima - La posizione Andava tutto bene
- GIANLUCA (9/5): -
- mariantonietta (8/5): -
- Fabrizio (10/5): - Tutto perfetto e pulito Dovrebbero mettere un cuscino in più, c'è ne era solo uno più alto
- Chiara (4/5): - Bellissima posizione, comoda e vicina ai servizi più importanti. Staff gentilissimo e super presente e premuroso Stanza rumorosa essendo al piano terra. Si sentiva tutto, gente che passava, rideva, parlava, servizi urbani di pulizia…insomma tutto
- Aldo (9/5): -
- Donatello (9/5): -
- Eva (9/5): war schon das 2. Mal da und werde wieder kommen - Zimmer war groß und sehr gemütlich, Frühstück konnte man sich selber bereiten, Lage ist gut..
- Eleonora (8/5): - Molto comoda e pulita Le merendine sono un po’ banali
- Davide (10/5): Ottima scelta nel Quartiere Prati / Mazzini ! - Struttura Carinissima nel cuore del quartiere Prati / Mazzini, in una via splendida, intima ma piena di attività commerciali (Bar di prestigio, Gastronomie, Gelaterie, Mercato rionale coperto, etc).
Check in velocissimo, prezzi competitivi, camere spaziose e pulite.
Lo consiglierei a chiunque e ci tornerò volentieri!

- maria chiara (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto! - la struttura e' in quartiere bello e molto tranquillo. la Signora Mara e' molto disponibile e ha reso il nostro soggiorno davvero perfetto. non abbiamo usufruito della colazione solo perche' la sveglia era all'alba altrimenti l'avremmo prenotata.
la camera e' pulitissima e spaziosa e la struttura silenziosa. Consigliatissimo! anche per la presenza di mezzi pubblici e la stazione della metro non distante. nulla di particolare
- Angela (9/5): - Die Kommunikation lief reibungslos, sehr nett, sehr zuvorkommend und immer gleich geantwortet. Die Informationen waren mehr als ausreichend. Wir haben ein sehr schönes, nett eingerichtetes Zimmer erhalten, sehr groß, auch das Bad sehr geräumig und modern. Ein ruhiges Zimmer, schön dunkel für die Nacht und mit kleinem Frühstück, Kaffeemaschine im Zimmer.
Die Umgebung ist sehr zentral, zu Fuß in 10/15 Minuten an der U- Bahn Lepanto oder Ottaviano, es fahren auch viele Busse und man ist in der Nähe von vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Für Sport- oder Musikliebhaber, dass Stadion ist auch fußläufig erreichbar.
- Michele (8/5): -
- Toño Nogales (8/5): - La habitación era muy completa y limpia. Jacuzzi no funcionaba.
- Kevin (10/5): Wonderful start to our vacation. - Very clean and well set up. Easy check in process and extremely helpful owner. Excellent location with easy commute to attractions and amenities. There was nothing I didn’t like about the property

- Alessia (9/5): -
- Candido (9/5): -
- Svetlana Epifantceva (10/5): - Все вежливые и гостеприимство
- Marius (10/5): Exceptional - All perfect All
- Perlini (7/5): A spacious & secure junior suite, but marred by inflexible policies and some maintenance issues. - The room is spacious - our junior suite has a queen size bed, lots of hangers for clothes, space to put suitcases, small table, ensuite bathroom, metal window shutter for security, working AC.
The building is easily accessible from the road - keypad lock at the main doors. Room is part of a cluster of rooms within a defined area and access to this is via a second keypad lock then the rooms’ keys are hung on the wall just inside. There is a reception counter but not always manned.
Note that the nearest metro station is Lepanto, which is a 15 - 20 minute walk or bus ride plus walk. Some other reviews say that it's really close by, but it wasn't for our expectations for 'excellent location".
FYI: The Lepanto station is a 10 - 12 minute ride from Rome Termini train station. Use the exit that’s at the corner of Via Lepanto and Viale Giulio Cesare and walk along Via Lepanto towards Via Giuseppe Ferrari.
There are no elevators from the metro station to the ground/road level so be ready to heave your suitcases. An additional chair in the room would be good as the room is meant for two guests.
There were quite a few large flies in the room when we arrived, which is odd as the windows were closed.
The faux leather header of the bed and sofa in the room were flaking, so we kept having black flakes on our bed and clothing.
The establishment’s rules are rather inflexible - we had to check out by 10.30am and no further extension was given, despite all other 4 rooms in the apartment being empty for the 4 days we were there.
The options offered were to pay 5 Euros to store our suitcases in a cupboard at the reception area or pay 25 Euros to leave it in our room. Once checked out, there is no available toilet we could use if we returned later to pick up our luggage.
- Ivan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ondřej (8/5): Very good - The room was well decorated and very clean. The guest house had some additional amenities like guide books and board games. Overall excellent value for money. Despite exchanging texts with the guest house owner prior to our arrival at the hotel, we didn't receive any information on how to access the property once we arrived. Because of this we had to wait around 30 minutes to check in. But when they did respond, they were very friendly and helpful.
- Kimonas (6/5): Pleasant -
- Antony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elisa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!
- Farah (10/5): Exceptional - It was so clean and in walking distance to every thing, we literally only caught a bus once and that was to get to the property. Check in was super easy
- Andrea (8/5): Very good -
- Dmitriy (9/5): Superb -
- Salma (8/5): Very good -
- Hristova (10/5): Location perfect , comfortable - Everything was good
- Damiano (9/5): Superb -
- Willem (9/5): Fantastic experience at Athena Guest House, thank you! - The room is really spacious, the bed is large and comfortable. It is a great location, local, nice neighbourhood, good cafes and local restaurants nearby, right by a small local food market too. Not too far from the Vatican and the historic centre with a bus ride or long walk. It's fairly quiet. A slight smell or dam, but it was also raining a lot, so that may well account for it.
- Raul-bogdan (10/5): Exceptional - I come in Rome since 2013, 2-3 times per year and I can say this was one of the best room I stayed in. Everything was comfortable, the bed, the bathroom, even the floor which is made of real wooden parquet. And the room was very clean also. The location is also good, 10-15 min walk to the metro station and Vatican, and 15-20 min of Stadio Olimpico (I actually ' ve chosen for the proximity to the stadium 🙂. When I entered the room, I found a small basket with croissants, pancakes, coffe , tea, and a refrigerator with yogurts and even a cold bottle of water, everything at your disposal.
- Barker (10/5): Comfortable and very clean - The room was large, comfortable and very clean, it exceeded our expectations.
There was a good selection of snacks and coffee making facilities.
The location was outside the main tourist area but just 10 minutes walk from the nearest tube station (Occtaviano). We loved the location because it was close enough that we could walk places and often past the Vatican. The restaurants nearby were plentiful and probably the best we ate in on our 10 day tour of various Italian cities. The owner was very helpful and accommodating as was Mark who looked after us during our stay. We would definitely come again
- Ivana (8/5): Very good -
- Gyuricza (10/5): It is a good place to stay in when you are in Rome. Staff is frendly friendly and helpful. - It was clean, spacious, quiet and the staff was very nice. We had a really good time there. There was nothing we didn’t like.
- Arturo (7/5): Good -
