Guest Reviews
- Monserrat (9/5): De 10👏🏻 - La cercanía a todos los lugares de interés.
Ir a la fontana en 10min es un lujo.
La cocina de uso común estaba genial y muy limpia.
Las camas muy cómodas, y el personal de recepción estupendo. No hablaban español pero hacían todo lo posible para comunicarse
Repetiría sin duda. Quizás el baño necesitaría un cambio de mampara
- MAYA (7/5): - It was near the metro station Barberini and in a good neibourhood full of legal firms and embassies.
Friendly staff. The room was dusty and the light switch grimy, there was only one garbage bin in the bathroom, and the lack of mosquito screen or mosquito repellent made us prey to the insects. The second button of the toilet flush did not work, and the tv did not respond to control. Insufficient wardrobe space.
Overrated and pricey.
- Jesús (8/5): Muy bien ubicado y tranquilo. - Bien ubicado, barrio tranquilo y con cafetería local junto al alojamiento. Puedes ir andando al mismo centro.
- Anna (7/5): - Staff molto gentile e camera pulita in zona silenziosa e ben servita. La camera era davvero piccola, spoglia (ma la carta da parati presente nella foto?) e davvero minimal.
Il soffione della doccia era rotto e sempre lo scarico della doccia si intasa.
- Marta (8/5): -
- Mathilde (9/5): - La localisation, logement pratique, propre
- Rubén Ignacio (10/5): Excelente alojamiento - La ubicación es lo suficientemente cerca de todo sin ser un sector ruidoso Nada
- Ana (10/5): Muito bom!! - O acolhimento, a simpatia e a disponibilidade do hotel foi fantástico. Boa localização.
- Helena (9/5): - The room was well equipped and modern. It is on the first floor and there is a lift which helped. It is on a quiet street so no noise during the night. There is also a communal kitchen with a microwave to use. We had very good communication from the staff about directions to get there. It was about a 10 minute walk from Roma Termini
- Maurizio (9/5): -
- Giovanna (10/5): - Stanza accogliente e posiziona ottima vicino al centro! Unica pecca, non era presente una macchinetta del caffè nella stanza
- Riccardo (8/5): -
- Kafetzi (10/5): - Σε πολύ καλή τοποθεσία. Και ευγενικό προσωπικό. Καθαρό δωμάτιο. Είχε υγρασία το δωμάτιο.
- Ana Isabel (9/5): Muy buen alojamiento y excelente ubicación - La habitación muy limpia y bien equipada , camas muy cómodas y muy tranquila .Lo mejor, lo bien ubicado que está del centro .El personal muy amable , nos pidieron un taxi para la vuelta al aeropuerto Bueno por decir algo , un vaso en el lavabo para poder poner los cepillos de dientes
- ButtOn (6/5): Great location, please fix the problems right away - Location is great. Stayed at Room 9 on the 2nd floor. Air condition wasn't working. The filter was clogged. Shower room door doesn't close properly that water leaked on to a floor. I mentioned that to the reception when I leave. He didn't take notes. Please fix them.
- Jimmy Eduardo (6/5): Estancia agradable con buena ubicación salvo por las almohadas - La ubicación La limpieza y las almohadas
- Raul (10/5): Posizione ottima, personale gentilissimo, torneremo - Posizione ottima per muoversi a piedi, struttura accogliente e ben gestita tutto ottimo La nostra camera aveva un po d odore d umidità forse proveniente da una parete dietro al letto unica pecca
- de gaetano (9/5): -
- silva (8/5): Recomendo. - Simpatia dos funcionários e localização Casa de banho.
- Nikos (9/5): -
- Davynya (9/5): - Very nice staff, very clean, good value for money. Nice location A bit too hot inside and A.C was noisy
- Silvia (10/5): - La habitación está bien equipada, toallas en buen estado, todo limpio. Camas cómodas. Y muy cerca del centro para moverte andando y buena combinación de metro y autobús. Personal muy amable. Cambiaría el sifón de la ducha, bastante viejo. Y mampara problemas para cerrarla.
- Mark (9/5): - Excellent location. Very comfortable and helpful staff. The kitchenette was pretty limited. Only a microwave and a tea kettle.
- Gianluca (8/5): Piacevole soggiorno - Ottima posizione, camera piccola ma essenziale. Calda e silenziosa.
- Bartosz (10/5): - Bardzo uprzejmy personel, idealna lokalizacja, bardzo czysto Brak
- GIANCARLA (7/5): -
- Vittoria (9/5): - Struttura in ottima posizione, staff cordiale e pronto a soddisfare le nostre esigenze. Siamo arrivati in struttura alle 6 di mattina e abbiamo trovato la camera già pronta. Inoltre, con l’aggiunta di un supplemento, ci è stato permesso di fare un late checkout. Consigliato.
- alberto zaliani (8/5): come previsto. Bene. - ottimo materasso dorelan. Buona la posizione.
- Naama (9/5): מקום מעולה - גישה קלה לחדר
חדר נקי, מרווח, היינו זוג עם 2 ילדות.
ממוקם טוב ביחס לדברים שיש לראות ברומא
לישראלים ששומרים שבת , המפתחות הם פיזים ולא אוטומט. זה לא שלא אהבנו, אבל לא יצא לנו לראות אפילו איש צוות אחד, לחלק זה יתרון לחלק זה חיסרון.
- Lucia (5/5): - lokalita
mily personal
pohodlna postel zapach plesne po celej izbe, a nakoniec aj skutocne plesne napr pod parapetnou doskou a v sprche
taktiez pokazena sprchova hlavica, nedostatocna cistota
- Valentina (10/5): -
- Genoveva (9/5): - La ubicación, la amplitud de la habitación
- Valerio Gaetano (6/5): - Cortesia dei gestori, posizione della struttura. Camera piccola per tre persone, bagno molto piccolo inadatto per persone alte.
- Vincenzo (8/5): - Very central location, clean rooms and really nice and kind staff. The hall didn’t smell so good.
- Valentina (10/5): Eccellente - Sì molto
- STEFANO (8/5): -
- RAQUEL (10/5): - Nos tocó una cama y unas almohadas muy cómodas. El personal fue muy amable, nos reservaron un taxi para la vuelta al aeropuerto y nos resolvieron todas las dudas que teníamos.
- Luca (8/5): Soggiorno complessivamente ottimo. - Posizione ottima. Personale disponibile. Zona molto silenziosa e tranquilla. Il bagno andrebbe riparato. Perdite d’acqua rumorose, sanitari non in buono stato.
- MASSIMO (6/5): -
- Maria (8/5): -
- Giovanni (9/5): Excellent guesthouse in the centre of Rome! - Very comfortable room and bed! Clean, simple and with good taste. Location is great, close to centre and metro, but very quiet. Very easy check in and check out. Value for money! Recommended! The devil is in the details! The shower head was working well, but fixed with scotch tape... these are easy and cheap fixes that could be taken care of as they happen.
Electric kettle and cups are provided... period! It would not be too expensive to include few tea bags. It would not take a lot of effort to elevate the experience to a BnB level. But again... these are details for an otherwise excellent stay!
- Barbara (6/5): - La posizione, eccellente, metro vicina e anche a piedi si può arrivare in tanti posti La stanza non era quella da me scelta, cosa a mio avviso non corretta! il bagno aveva il doccino rotto da tempo, il rubinetto del bidè che si muoveva, e il box doccia mal funzionante e non pulito bene. Inoltre "i prodotti omaggio" erano veramente scarni (una piccola sabonetta, un bagno doccia e uno shampoo piccoli, sufficienti a mala pena per una persona!) Insomma, delle cose che si potevano evitare con un po più di accortezza! Per il resto, lo staff è stato gentilissimo!
- Jeanne (9/5): Très bon séjour ! - La situation géographique - simplicité check-in et check-out - propreté - rapport qualité / prix. Un peu de bruit (des chambres à côté) mais cela reste très supportable - la lumière de la pièce de vie est assez forte et rentre dans la chambre. Cela reste vraiment du détail !
- Valentina (7/5): - Camera ok ma bagno molto vecchio con doccia rotta. Rapporto qualità-prezzo PESSIMA , la casa però è in un ottima posizione per visitare il centro.
- URTZI (7/5): -
- Jeffery (8/5): - The location was great for walking to all scenic areas The hand held shower holder was broken so you had to hold it the whole time showering.
- Nisticò (7/5): Grazie a chi a contributo a renderlo bello - Posizione ottima, accoglienza ottima, lo consiglierei Il cambio asciugamani, 4 giorni sono troppi ,riordino stanza il minimo sindacale
- Lucy (8/5): -
- Kelly (7/5): -
- KATERINA (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable
- Isabel (10/5): -
- Alberto (8/5): Piacevole esperienza, alloggio a 10 minuti da fontana di trevi - Spaziosa, accogliente, rispecchia la descrizione Box doccia rotto, da sostituire
- Fernando (9/5): -
- Manuela (8/5): - Posizione e cortesia Forse da rinnovare un po’
E aggiungerei una macchinetta del caffè
- Francesco Paolo (9/5): - Posizione centrale, personale gentile e buon rapporto qualità prezzo Nulla al momento
- Paula (7/5): -
- Guillermo (8/5): Muy bien - La ubicación, el personal, el alojamiento estaba bastante bien En mi habitación el aire acondicionado era algo más ruidoso de la cuenta, pero el resto bastante bien
- Amanda (9/5): -
- Walter (6/5): Senza pretese. Probabilmente allo stesso prezzo si trova di meglio. - La posizione La camera non è stata rifatta, il condizionatore era rumoroso (la ventola “sfregava”). Nel bagno cieco l’aspiratore non era funzionante. Era presente solo un cuscino per ogni persona e non troppo comodo
- Eduardo (8/5): - Limpieza, ubicación, comodidad colchón
- Montse (8/5): -
- Alice (9/5): - La posizione, la camera, la pulizia e la gentilezza del personale. Tutto bene in Generale, sarebbe solo da sostituire il soffione della doccia
- John Alexander (10/5): -
- Damian Alejandro (10/5): -
- Sena (9/5): -
- Giovanni (6/5): Ottima posizione, pulizia da rivedere - La posizione é ottima, molto centrale e ben connessa. La ragazza della reception é stata gentile. La camera era un po’ sporca. La toilette aveva delle macchie e c’era un po’ di capelli sui cuscini. In generale era tutto molto sterile, poca attenzione alle ai dettagli.
- Herdis (7/5): Good - Location and friendly staff. The bathroom needs an upgrade and should have been cleaner.
- Ivy (8/5): Very good -
- Josef (7/5): Good - Quiet, conveniently located, well priced compared to competition Poorly maintained bathroom
- Frederic (9/5): Great stay, would recommend - Staff, helpfulness, number of electrical outlets in room, fridge , location! Shower head attachment is broken so showering a bit of a challenge. More storage, counter, shelving in bathroom would be preferred.
- Dilcia (8/5): Very good -
- Charalambos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marina (5/5): Passable - Great location and very friendly staff The room was stuffy and poorly ventilated. It was really hot and it was difficult to sleep - the air conditioning unit didn’t help. The shower was very slippery
- Bianca (8/5): Super - The location was super good, within walking distance of everything. The room accommodation was perfect for my family of 4. Overall, it met our expectations and requirements. The bathroom could be more updated. The shower mainly. The shower door doesn’t close properly and the shower head doesn’t stand still.
- 濟政 (7/5): Good -
- Samantha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Denisa (8/5): Very good - The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Great location, near the main station and major attractions. The room looked slightly different from the photos on the website, but it was still nice and very clean. Upon arrival, warm water was unavailable at night, but it worked perfectly fine in the following days.
- Victoria (7/5): Good -
- Catarina (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is super friendly and helpful, the location is great and the rooms are really nice! Nothing
- Georgios (9/5): Superb -
- Flávia (10/5): We had an amazing stay and would absolutely stay there again! - The location was excellent, providing easy access to everything, and we felt safe walking around, even at night. The room was comfortable, though a bit snug for three people, but it worked perfectly for our three-night stay. A special thanks to the incredibly helpful and friendly staff, who went above and beyond to ensure our lost luggage was returned to us promptly before we left Rome for our next destination. The room was comfortable, albeit a bit snug for three people, but it was totally manageable.
- Luciana (10/5): Would return to this BB - Great location, about 6 min from the metro station. Very quiet even though it was a front window.
There was one person to greet us on our way in the first night, and we never saw anyone else the whole time we were in Rome.
Veey clean, very confortable beds, and close (about 10min) from very nice places do eat and to get ice cream.
Would definatelly return to the same hotel! The lack of reception desk or anyone to talk to was a little odd but we got used to.
The fridge could be colder.
And the shower is a little small but ok.
- Angel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Felipe (9/5): Superb -
- Kayla (10/5): Exceptional - This was our first time in Rome and we were very pleased with our stay! Ruth and Marco were very helpful. We had a last minute favor to ask as we were missing documents for our upcoming plans. They assisted us immediately, no questions asked. They also provide a map of the area and printouts of restaurant recommendations. Check-out was easy and contactless. The building was beautiful, the neighborhood was just 10 minutes away from everything in the city (which meant it was never noisy even on weekends/nights). Housekeeping comes every two days and will ask if you need any extra towels, toiletries, etc. Either way, they are very responsive via WhatsApp if there’s anything else you might need.
- Schatteles (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eloise (10/5): Great! Loved the room and staff were very nice. - Great location, really good sized room, very friendly staff :) One thing: the shower head was broken. Didn’t bother me because I didn’t wash my hair but would be annoying for those who would.
- Angela (8/5): Very good - Quiet street in a central location. Very good air conditioning. Friendly receptionists and it wasn't a problem that I arrived at midnight. The shower door was broken and leaking and could do with a scrub but overall it was very good.
- Dylan (9/5): Great Stay, Great Location - Small and cozy !
AC worked very well
Great location Shower was slightly broken in that the tightening part to move shower head up and down was missing, so we had to hold the shower head with on hand. (Not too big of a deal just frustrating at times)
- Jacqueline (10/5): Very glad we chose La Controra. Would recommend and would stay there again if we find ourselves in Rome in the future. - Great location; welcoming, helpful and gracious host. Small space but with everything we needed. Close to restaurants, stores and transportation. Shower was very small, but the hot water was plentiful, so that worked out. Not really a negative.
- Jessica (7/5): Clean - The rooms were clean and comfortable The kitchen was missing basics such as a wine bottle opener. It did not have anything but a microwave and fridge (hot plate not there like in photos). Also check in was challenging. It would have been much easier if we had just been told to go to the second floor in our email from them. Instead of waiting an hour and no answers to calls
- Kathy (10/5): Convenient, clean, and close. - Nice, clean space with everything you need for a reasonable price in a great location near to metro and tourist sites as well as being in a quiet area. Nothing
- Rachabrown (8/5): Very good -
- Therese (8/5): Great appartment near a main metro line in Rome - The appartment was very clean and newly renovated. We were welcomed by a staff member outside the normal hours, which was a huge bonus, since our plane was delayed (22:00 instead of 20:00). The location is really great (near a metro station). The airconditioning, situated just next our room window was very noisy.
- Daniel (7/5): An average hotel with above average prices - Staff were really helpful and accommodating. Good safe installed. Clean bed and bathroom linen. Bathroom shower head was malfunctioning, as was the shower door. The bed put on a side of a wall i.e. only accessible from one side and not the other.
- Milenay (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean. Closely located to the attractions and Roma termini. 24/7 help from the reception.Helpful suggestions for restaurants from the reception. Overall great !
- Ana (10/5): Great value, pleasant stay with family - Great location, central enough and close to attractions but quiet. New, clean basic family room. Perfect for traveling with kids. Excellent, friendly service. No frills but the staff at the sister hotel in same building helped us with whatever we needed, including booking a taxi to the airport early in the morning. The shower door was a bit damaged. Otherwise room was clean and new.
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - Great location near termini. Very close to barberini metro stop, pantheon, and trevi fountain. Slight hill to get back from station, but not bad. Very comfortable and easy. Never heard another guest whole time we were there. Nothing
- Maheen (9/5): Superb - Loved the staff and the lady who checked us in! Super friendly and guided us about the city map etc The blanket could’ve been warmer
- Jorge (8/5): Very good -
