Excellent location!
Our stay was excellent . Very friendly and helpful staff. I made an error with my check in date but luckily we were accommodated. Daniella and Pamela were awesome!!! They helped us make our stay very comfortable. Thank you ladies! The rooms were big and comfortable and very clean ! Bathroom is a comfortable size. There is a rooftop terrace you can hang out and have wine. The amenities were well thought of to make your stay comfortable. Close to everything ... restaurants, cafes, public transformation very accessible.

The B n B was good, room was adequate, shower small for most, breakfast not U.S style expresso and a crescent roll. You can not hail a cab you need to go to a taxi stand not very convenient, closest one is 20 minute walk

This place made you feel like you were actually living like a local in Italy, as if you were staying at your nonnas place. The location is amazing, easy walk to Vatican Area only 10-15min walk. Easy to just find a Line Scooter using the app and use it to get around Rome. Best for people not staying too long but need a convenient and comfortable place to sleep

Loved It!
My friends and i had a great time! Great service and easy check in. Room was clean and everyone was so nice! Though it was across the river, it was still pretty close to all the action about a 15 min walk to the trevi fountain. Highly recommend.

The position is fantastic, right next to the Vatican and within 30-40 minutes walk from everything else. Times aren’t flexible in terms of checking in or out, however the staff is very open. We had a flight change at the last minute and the receptionist was accommodating because we had to leave very early in the morning.

Decent stay near the Vatican
This is probably the best located place we have ever stayed in, a kilometer from the Vatican and 3 km from the Coliseum. The room itself is quite pleasant and the bed is nice. The A.C. is old and it was quite warm so we did have a few issues there but we were out most of the day so it didn't bother us too much. The housekeeping was pretty fine and we had no issues there either. The room was kept clean and the bathroom was decent with the Roman bidet system but there was tissue paper as well. The only major issue we had is that we informed the reception (after many phone calls) that we would arrive at 10 PM. We were exactly 4 minutes late and he had left locking us out (this "guest house" is a B&B and located in a building that has a street facing door that was locked). Luckily some other guests were standing outside right then and they let us in. 15 minutes later the host walked in, showed us to our rooms and then left. We didn't appreciate that. The breakfast is also a joke. What they call "breakfast" is actually at a neighboring cafe and it consists of 1 croissant, 1 warm(ish) cup of coffee and 1 glass of juice. That's all there is to their breakfast! Despite these hiccups we could see ourselves staying there again if we visited Rome again.

true 5-star stay
This was truly a 5-star stay - the most helpful welcome from Pamela, walking us through a map and giving great recommendations for neighborhoods to visit. Fantastic centralized location, lovely little balcony to enjoy a morning, nice room with character and a great bathroom; just a really great stay. Our favorite of the whole trip.

Wonderful Stay!
Great place, centrally located with very helpful staff and comfortable beds! Our keys would not open the door to the rooftop which was a little disappointing and the staff are only there between 10am - 4 pm. Overall we had a wonderful stay! We would definitely recommend the Calamatta!

Location is Great!! Access to the major tourist sites was so convenient, * minute walk to piazza Navona. Very quiet location on a small low traffic side street near piazza Cavour and the Tiber. Our host was great and spoke perfect english! She arranged our Airport transfers including arrival and a 3:30 AM departure and they were flawless! The daily breakfast is provided by a nearby Bar/pasticceria and was great. The only negative that we noted is that the beds are FIRM.

Wonderful stay - 100% recommend!
We loved our stay at the B&B Calamatta and would definitely recommend it! The location is good - it’s the north west of the central city, the other side of the river which meant it wasn’t really busy outside. It was close enough to be able to walk everywhere - we got a taxi once to the colosseum and that was only because we were running late for our tour! Njce restaurants and a few shops near by - and breakfast at the cafe was always good! Only thing I would say is the breakfast is only a croissant, coffee and small orange juice so we often paid for something more substantial. The room was clean and modern, with a comfy bed and great shutters to keep the room dark! Staff were friendly and very helpful - the advice Pamela gave us at the start of the week was priceless and we used the map she gave us every day. She also helped us book our taxi back to the airport when I’d struggled with the Italian! Lovely little terrace too - and a fridge with hot drinks available and biscuits put out everyday which was a really nice touch. Would definitely return and recommend the B&B!

Great location (10-15mins walk to most of the sites), super clean, and the best part: the kind and knowledgeable staff there (Valeri, Pamela....also Daniela who would bring her puppy to play with our toddler son)! Yes the bathroom is narrow but not a big deal. There’s a working elevator so taking the stroller out everyday was not a hassle! Super safe and quiet neighbourhood. Can take the Sitbus from to/from airport for 6 euros and only about a 5-10mins walk from the stop to this guest house. Also only about a 12 euros taxi from Termini train station and 20mins bus to the Colosseum. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again and recommend to others!

The location is great, walking distance to everything! Staff was a late to let us in even though they said they would be there at checkin. The tile floors make the place extremely loud. You can hear everyone. This was problematic the first night when one of the neighbor rooms was up late partying. The following day we had a note saying we owed them more money?...never understood why. Finally, I setup a ride to the airport through the hotel. We got up and we’re waiting at 3am for the ride who never showed. After 30 min I called an Uber. Wasn’t an awful experience, just wouldn’t stay here again.

Response from The staff on 10 Dec 2018
Dear guest, I want to explain AGAIN the reason of our request of more money. You have booked a room (double for single use) for 1 person, so you have paid a room for 1 person. At the moment of check in, you was 2 people, we gave you the double room (for 2 people) but if you read online, the price is different and the double room is more expensive then the double-for-single-use room. We wrote you many messages to explain it, and we told you that for any other question, we was available during the day. But we haven't see you. So I want to remaid you that you have to pay the extra for the upgrade of your room from double-for-single-use to double room. I hope you can understand now. Regarding the transfer, there was a problem with the driver, because the transfer was in the same day when there is the change of the time in Italy.

Central location
We were a bit dubious when we arrived at the guest house Calamatta but the staff were efficient and very courteous and helpful. The bed/pillows were comfortable, room adequate. No view to look at though. It was in a perfect position to explore the Sights and very close to the River and The Vatican. Breakfast was in a lovely cafe close by. We were more than happy staying there and would go again.
