Guest Reviews
- Eva (8/5): - Izba s kúpeľňou v byte na 5. poschodí bola čistá, k dispozícii boli uteráky. Pre dve osoby na tri noci bola primerane veľká. Kúpeľňa mala sprchový kút, bidet a záchod. Kuchyňa bola spoločná pre všetkých, čo bývali v byte, nepáčila sa mi, potrebovala by lepšie využiť priestor, chladnička jedna pre všetkých. Majiteľka bola veľmi príjemná, komunikovala s nami cez WhatsApp. Ako darček sme od nej dostali 4 lístky na kávu a krojsant v blízkej kaviarni. Stanica metra bola blízko. Hluk, ak bolo v noci otvorené okno. Vatikán bol síce vzdušnou čiarou veľmi blízko, ale pešo to trvalo 25 minút rušnou ulicou. Výťah bol renovovaný aj keď veľmi malý, chodili sme po schodisku, ktoré malo strašne špinavé steny. Izba má balkón, ale výhľad z neho bol len na dom oproti a bolo na ňom veľa vecí.
- Ursula (9/5): -
- David (10/5): - Gut ausgestattete Wohnung, nette Gastgeber und zentrale Lage hinter dem Vatikan mit guter Metro Anbindung. Nichts
- Spinelli (8/5): -
- Laurent (9/5): - La salle de bain L'éclairage automatique
- Marco (10/5): - Struttura molto pulita e accogliente, completa di tutto, ha anche una cucina molto attrezzata. Posizione ottima vicino alla metro e diversi ristoranti. Staff molto gentile, disponibile e simpatico. Nulla da ridire.
- Ester (8/5): -
- Fabrizio Spano (6/5): - Posizione eccellente Camera molto piccola. La doccia non scaricava bene. Il rapporto qualità prezzo non mi è sembrato adeguato.
- Jose (10/5): - place is close to metro where you can go anywhere in Rome
breakfast not so great
- Yolanda (10/5): - La habitación muy cómoda y limpia, buena ubicación, huésped muy amable y pendiente de nosotros. Muy contenta!
- Jean Daoust, (10/5): - Well located and quiet. Everything was perfect. Roger and Fiorenza were always available and very helpful! Thanks
- Adriana (8/5): Confortável - A hospedagem é confortável, ampla e o banheiro espaçoso. Conta com uma cozinha compartilhada e é bem próxima aos serviços de transporte. Achei distante dos principais pontos de interesse da cidade. O dono da hospedagem foi muito gentil e atencioso, oferecendo disponibilidade para chek-in antecipado e guarda de bagagem.
- maurizio (10/5): - Tutto bene.
- Barbara (10/5): - perfetta
- Cindy (10/5): Bright and Friendly - We had a great stay at Gloria Vatican Bijou. Very friendly and accommodating. Close to the Musee entry of the Vatican. Good restaurants and convenience stores close. (I am writing this almost a month after the stay, and it's still giving me good vibes!)
- Marc (6/5): - Fiorenza is very kind. This is not an hotel but an apartment to make money. Often elevator is blocked and apartment is on 5th floor.
- Alejandra (8/5): - El trato de los anfitriones fue excelente, es un lugar muy limpio, la cama en excelentes condiciones
- HONDO (10/5): - Modern room with caring staff
WiFi works well

Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub. Danke
- Shiwei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tamas (10/5): Perfect for tourists sightseeing in Rome. - It was very pleasant. Clean, comfortable, with a very good location and good infrastructure. Very nice hosts. The little card with a discount in the cafe in the house is a plus point.
I would love to go back anytime.
- Mario (10/5): Exceptional -
- Qendro (10/5): Exceptional - Central and tidy apartment. Very kind people running the place. Thank you for the great stay! 😊
- Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was very kind and helpful. We have made communication through WhatsApp.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed (including a shared kitchen with dining area). The location is excellent, the Vatican is a 10-minute walk away. We also did not use public transportation to the center.
The owner provided us with vouchers for a coffee and a croissant in the morning at a local cafe next to the apartment.
He allowed us to leave our luggage earlier than the check-in time and later than the check-out time.
- Katarzyna (10/5): a great time - Nice apartment in a great location, close to the subway, not far from all attractions, and above all, great contact with the owner who is very helpful
- Nataliia (10/5): Exceptional - I liked the hotel. Convenient location. Near the subway. The Vatican is a 15-20 minute walk away. The room had an extra bed. Clean and comfortable. Met well, checked in at midnight for an additional fee. I recommend
- Maria Grazia (10/5): - L’host è molto accogliente e disponibile.
La stanza e il bagno sono ben arredati, nuovi e soprattutto puliti. Ottima la posizione.
Ritornerò sicuramente!
- Luigi (10/5): - EXCELLENT, RECOMMENDABLE
- Dave (4/5): A really disappointing stay in Rome. - A disappointing experience.
This "b'n b" is actually just a bedroom and bathroom in a semi run-down apartment and kitchen shared with other guests (kind of awkward since it's rather small), situated in a dirty area of Rome.
The internet didn't work properly throughout our stay and the host didn't seem to care (sent us the response of a shrugging emoji when we mentioned it), some of the walls were crumbling, and their idea of the "breakfast" part was handing us a ticket for two free coffees at the cafe downstairs on the first day (cafe was lovely, by the way).
The listing also mentions laundry but this just means that there is a laundromat nearby.
The saving grace was a comfortable bed and solid A/C, but never would I consider staying there again.
- Wani (10/5): Excellent- i want to stay with this place again. - Very homy atmosphere, very clean.
Location is excellent Metro and Bus..
Near Vatican
Cafe Restaurant downstairs is big plus if you a coffee lover No washer.
- Sebastian (7/5): Good - The place is nicely located, very nice and clean. There was an issue with a key I caused and Roger was super rude, all his messages were yelling at me, did not handle the situation properly.
- Anonymous (9/5): Was comfortable, allow me move to any where. - Was very clean and confortable.
Only the elevator is old but it works
It’s near a train station that allows travel to any place There aren’t laundry on the apartment and also there aren’t selfservice laundry near. The stores nearest, close at most 21:00.
- Mahmoud (10/5): Great stay. Everything was perfect. Roger did great and is always one message away! -
- Siqi (9/5): Superb -
- Yulia (10/5): Very pleasant apartment - Very nice apartment, conveniently located. The owner was very accommodating and friendly, and met me halfway when I needed to check in earlier.
- Anonymous (7/5): The best location - I liked the location and the bed was so comfortable after the long walk. Breakfast at the corner cafe was great!
Host and people in the cafe are amazing, helpful and kind! floor was not clean, after I put off the socks I saw my feet were covered with dust and hair
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Salvacion (10/5): Nice place for a short stay in Rome. - Location, Staff
- Anonymous (6/5): ok but wouldn’t stay there again - good cafe downstairs. it was clean location didn’t have much near by. area felt a little unsafe.
- Giovanni (4/5): Mai piu - Unica nota positiva la posizione. Per il resto molto deludente. Non ho nai visto un b & b che non preveda il riassetto del letto. La pulizia probabilmente è a pagamento ma nel sito non compare ne ci è stato detto niente a proposito dal proprietario per cui non si è visto nessuno . Carente nella fornitura del cucinino e la colazione non è prevista nella struttura. Quindi il primo giorno l'abbiamo fatta presso il bar giu alla struttura ma il secondo giorno essendo chiuso questo ci siamo dovuti recare presso un bar a 100 metri che ci ha addebitato un costo extra perché seduti. Come se in un b&b la colazione la fai in piedi.
Probabilmente, anche come detto dallo stesso proprietario, c'è voglia di chiudere per cui si lascia andare il tutto trascurandolo.
Tutto cio paragonandolo a tutte le altre strutture simili da me frequentate.
- Emmanuel (10/5): très bien situé pour visiter Rome - Le logement dispose de tout le confort et il est très bien situé vis à vis du Metro, du bus et du Vatican.
Notre hôte a été très accueillant et bienveillant au bon déroulement de notre séjour.
- samantha (10/5): Safe, cozy place to stay in Rome. I loved it! - Had such a lovely stay. Clean apartment, well laid out and had everything I needed. Host was friendly and helpful - he even met me at the train station to assist with my bags. Tea, coffee and drinks provided in the kitchen for a small charge. Fridge, oven, eating area all available to use.
I felt very safe and secure in this neighbourhood even walking around at night. Only 2 minute walk to the MTR, supermarket and amazing local pizzeria. Wifi worked very well and easy door locking procedure in and out.
The host offered to drive me to the airport for half of what it cost for an uber or regular taxi, this helped alot!
Lovely host, lovely place, lovely experience - thank you!
- Sergio (10/5): Esperienza fantastica. - Abbiamo avuto il piacere di soggiornare presso questa struttura per tre giorni e devo dire che è stata un'ottima scelta. La posizione è centralissima, vicinissima alla stazione metro Cipro nonchè alla stazione dei pulman. La stanza era ampia, confortevole e pulitissima. Il sig. Ruggiero è stato molto gentile oltre che disponibile nel darci informazioni dettagliate sui vari spostamenti. Esperienza più che positiva. Certamente ritorneremo quando saremo a Roma.
- Craig (10/5): Great stay and person - It was great Roger was a really nice guy. Very helpful. We left something in room and we was very helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this apt and him as a person.
- Emanuele (10/5): Ottimo - Ho soggiornato su questa struttura con mia moglie , ottima posizione, veramente molto vicina alla metro, e ottima struttura le comete sono belle , pulite con il bagno in camera .
Il gestore Ruggero è un ottimo dispensatore di “dritte” per muoversi su Roma , mi sento di consigliarla vivamente
- Marcello (10/5): Ottimo - Ruggiero è gentilissimo e disponibile. La camera, oltre che essere nuova e bella, era molto pulita. Posizione centrale e accanto alla metro.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel for weekend break - Very good small hotel for weekend break. Only comment would be to take an iron. Besides that everything you need is there
- Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome clean and modern room - We had an amazing stay at Roger Vatican Dream. The room was very clean, the host was very accommodating - even of our late check in, and was easy to communicate with. The room was modern and very clean. We loved it!
