My impression of this B&B was clouded as soon as I arrived at its high steel front gate, which is kept locked. It is difficult to gain entry unless there is someone within hailing distance, otherwise you might be waiting a while to get in. Once inside, I was checked in by the imposing owner/manager, who tried to charge me much more than the price quoted in my online reservation. When I reminded him of the agreed price, he accepted that, but insisted I pay an extra 6 Euros for breakfast, which was supposed to be free. Thus my poor opinion of the place.
As for the actual property, it isn’t too bad. It’s a 10 minute Cotral bus ride (1.30 Euros) followed by a 5 minute walk away from FCO airport, so it’s quite convenient, and there is a large Supermarket (Todis) 5-10 minutes walk away.
As for my ground-floor room, it was of a reasonable size, with dark furnishings and décor, quite clean and comfortable, with a reasonable ensuite with shower and lots of hot water. Everything in the room worked well as it should, including the excellent free wi-fi and a/c. So no problems on that score. And the location is pretty quiet, with little aircraft or other noise.
It’s a pity that the management isn’t a little more ethical. I would have given the establishment 3/5 if it wasn’t for the difficulties checking in. As it is, I wouldn’t stay there again, as the whole check in process is far too stressful, and who knows how much it will cost?
