  : The people! The lovely people who cared for us like family. Lisa who welcomed us, showed us around, cared for every need and was always smiling. The lady (who's name I forget, so sorry) who made us cappuccinos and reminded me and my son to eat fruit not just bread and cakes at breakfast . Such great people . This is a simple place on the third floor of a building between the train station and colloseum so for travelers spending a short time in Rome is in a perfect location. Breakfast is included, there's a fridge in the room, air con is fast and efficient, everything is clean and functional, the beds were good and comfy too with extra pillows etc available on request. Rome is an expensive city in the summer and in the past I've paid a small fortune for rooms in much worse locations and with nothing like the level of service offered here.
  : Nothing really. The listing is accurate. If you want a room with a bath tub rather than just shower cubicle they'll sort that for you but must mention it in advance because only two of the rooms have one.

  : Cute little room with a lovely chandelier because every room and n Rome must have a chandelier. Staff were very knowledgeable and offering much tourist info. Its 10 minutes walk to the colloseum . And surrounded by plenty of food choices.
  : Nothing.

  : Location (close to the station but very quiet and safe area). Staff super nice, they offered us extra breakfast and coffee anytime. Very clean. Little balcony very appreciated. Very quiet. Comfortable bed. They keep your luggages before check in and after check out, taking very seriously the security and without extra charges.
  : Some details a bit old-looking (still everything is clean and works). The pictures look a bit better than the actual rooms, at least the one we got (1). A bit too expensive

  : The room was slightly on the smaller side, but we were so busy sightseeing this didn't really bother us!

  : Super helpful staff, cozy place.
  : Bed was not so comfortable, but I think that other rooms are probably better. No plugs next to bed.

  : This was a bit of an unfortunate situation. The guesthouse itself is really nice, good location, lovely receptionist and we would recommend this place for sure. We had an unfortunate situation though that they tried to solve as best as they could while being fully booked, which ended up in us having 1 night in their normal room which was great! The other two nights were not.. it was unlucky so if you get any of the normal rooms you will have a great stay!
  : We communicated upfront that I am 6 months pregnant but upon arrival didnt get one of their normal rooms but a kind of extra room that is right next to the reception with a sliding door with no isolation. This meant no privacy really as the door is super thin.. the room itself is fine, it has a little balcony and new walk-in shower but we didnt feel comfortable at all. You could hear every guest and the reception all dag long right outside the door and we didnt dare to speak out loud because of this. At night all the hallway light comes in so you cant darken it.. The bed was a fold out bed on top of it which was way too hard so we paid a lot of money for not sleeping you cant offer people this for the same price as your good rooms.. Again the receptionist was lovely and did her best to solve it so no blame to her but the manager should have known better. It really made our days in Rome a lot less great and I felt miserable because of a total lack of rest
