We were welcomed by very friendly and attentive staff - when we had to leave early in the morning to get a 5:30 a.m. train, they packed us breakfast to take with us and ordered a cab to Termini at a reasonable price. The room was very basically decorated (the La Dolce Vita room - from photos online, the other... More

Michele was an excellent host. The B&B was very spacious and a tremendous value. We frankly just needed a place to sleep since we walked around Rome from sunrise to sunset. Our suite had two bedrooms, a large bathroom with shower, kitchen, and small dining room. The rooms were clean and a basic breakfast was provided, plus a cappuccino maker.... More

The staff were helpful, even with their limited English. A... More

Just as I was about to phone their number, someone came out and it was only once we got into the entrance hall that we saw... More

It's located about 200 meters from the Ottaviano Metro station. You wouldn't think it was the place if you don't see the number 9 on the side of the door to the building. Our room was also on the 6th floor but as soon as we got in the room, we were surprised - we asked for a quadruple room... More
