Good location. Cumbersome check-in, basic room, misleading and missing information on the booking site (e.g. no mention of “late” check-in and luggage storage fees at time of booking)… If you check-in after 9:00 p.m., you are charged €15; if you arrive after 10:30 p.m., you pay an extra €25. It is unlikely that I will not return to this property.

Nice place to stay in Rome

Very nice host. The location is very walkable to the Vatican City and there is a bus stop right across the street that goes to city center of Rome. The building is a bit old but the rooms are cleaned everyday.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
a nice, quirky place. It's a few rooms in a bigger apartment building. Ours had cool directions. The bathroom was nice, and even had a blue light for nights. The area good--literally steps from the Vatican, and close to restaurants and markets. It's also close to a bus line to tourist sites but we didn't use that. The host mostly communicated via Whatsapp, but that worked well and we met her when she came by to clean the rooms.

Pros: good location, easy walk to the Vatican, nice cafe’s and restaurants nearby, spacious room, good a/c. Cons: no one on site when we arrived (mid morning) or checked out, the B&B shared space was dark and gloomy (shutters closed), our room smelled musty, the shower door was dangerously flimsy (with a handwritten warning note advising to open gently), comfy bed but only two very flat pillows. Paola communicated well by text and did give us a few good restaurant recommendations. All in all, the location was a plus but the room was average. Wouldn’t return.

Disappointing experience

I recently stayed at this hotel and was disappointed with my experience. While I understand that it's a budget-friendly option, I still expected a certain level of quality and service. Unfortunately, the room was not suitable for the number of guests it was advertised to accommodate. The check-in process was also more complicated than necessary, requiring us to wait for the admin to respond to our messages. Upon entering the room, I was surprised to find that it was not clean and tidy. The refrigerator had leftover food from previous guests, the floor was dirty, and the balcony was in a poor state. When I brought these issues to the attention of the admin, they did not take responsibility for the cleanliness of the room and only partially addressed the issues. The bathroom was also lacking in basic amenities, such as towels and hand soap. I had to go out and purchase these items myself, which was inconvenient. The bathroom features and amenities were also subpar, with a broken shower and low water pressure. The internet connection in the room was slow and unreliable, and stopped working altogether towards the end of my stay. When I reported this issue, I did not receive a response from the admin. Overall, I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel and would not recommend it to others.
