Loved the location. It was close enough to walk to the Colosseum, Roman Villa and Vittorio Emmanuel monument. There was a metro station 5 minutes walk away and some decent restaurants and bars, of varying prices, nearby. There were problems though and I think these should be addressed. Firstly, when I look for a place to stay, I always check the check-in times and the check-in times for this property were described as 1 pm to 9 pm. We were travelling from Florence so 1 pm worked perfectly with our 1230 arrival time into the terminal. I booked the room 4 days before arriving and my Expedia page updated to show a confirmed booking from 1pm. I didn’t receive anything from the property asking me to confirm my time of arrival. On the day, we arrived just after 2pm in blistering heat but nobody answered. It was some time before we heard from them and by then we’d checked into another hotel for the night as we needed to leave our bags and get out, not waste the afternoon. I don’t know why they couldn’t send a message via Expedia asking for our arrival time! We arranged to access our room the following morning and that went well but there was a terrible smell in the apartment. We thought it was from the large bins outside so closed the window and went out for the day but on returning we realised it was from our bathroom. It was bearable with the bathroom door shut but I left a message for Michelle to let her know and hopefully it’ll be resolved for further guests.

This moment is difficult for everybody in all of the world, and I'm sorry but we are not always in the hotel, so when you make a reservation is absolutly necessary to give the time arrival, otheriwse is the risk to not find somebody... I don't know for wich reason we can't contact the customer, so the customer must have care to inform the hotel for the time arrival... Anyway, thanks to staying with us. Regards

Did not like that one of the owners came Thru and opened the doors of the rooms we were all staying in. He walked in on my niece and her daughter without knocking first. She heard him enter every room. Not acceptable! Glass in bathroom had toothpaste and scum in the bottom. We were told it was not for drinking just for putting our tooth brush in. It still should be clean. The safe popped open... came home from a long day of touring... it was open. Credit card missing since then. May or may have gone missing from the safe..: not sure. Just odd. Friendly check on. Helpful with airport transportation. Great location and wonderful place to eat across the street.

The property was very aesthetically pleasing. The website did not mention that there would be no staff there after 1:30 PM. We had to contact someone and wait for them to meet us. You cannot wait for staff to arrive inside the building. You have to wait on the street. We had two rooms. One was fine. The other had air-conditioning that would only run for 15 minutes at a time and then shut off. There was no staff there in the evenings to deal with the problem. In addition, Expedia said on the website but this was a bed-and-breakfast. No breakfast was available and no food or drinks were available for purchase. The one saving grace was that the young lady who came in the morning to clean the rooms was very pleasant and bilingual.

Internet not working
The place is at a great location and clean. However I was there for work and I needed internet so I expected it would work as advertised. But it didn't. Sometimes it was very slow, and sometimes (often) it was not working at all!!! We are in 2019 and we still do not have working internet?!?!? I asked to fix it, of course they blamed somebody else (the provider). But in the end it was not working. It happened for several days, especially during evening hours so it wasn't a single episode. Despite that the big room was very comfortable and clean, with very cool design. The room was advertised "with city" view but there was a pile of trash outside the only windows facing an internal court. AC was great though.

The main reason we chose this place was the close proximity to all the major tourist attractions in Rome. The Colosseum is literally 5 minutes away and also easily accessible through the metro. We reached Rome in the morning around 10:00 AM, and they offered to keep the bags though our check-in was at 3:00 PM. The entrance to the place is somewhat hidden (or different from what I am used to as a hotel entrance). The hotel is on the second floor inside another building, and you need to buzz-in and get the main door open. One thing to keep in mind is that this place has limited check-in and check-out times. So you need to contact them before arriving to make sure you are checking-in during the working hours.

This hotel is in the perfect location! 5 minutes walk to the Metro and 5 minutes walk to the Colosseum. Great restaurants nearby also. The staff was friendly and check in was quick and easy. There is not someone at the desk 24 hours and some times not even during the day. They do have a cell phone number you can call if you need something. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was small and with 4 people and luggage in the room it was tight. The bathroom was clean and typical European style (small shower, toilet, bidet, and sink) The lift was helpful in getting our luggage up to the 2nd floor where the hotel is located.

this was a great room in an excellent location. The only reason I did not give staff excellent is because it is not like a typical hotel where there is staff there 24hrs a day. It is only about 5 rooms with the owner, Ricardo and a couple staff there during the day, but they were awesome and Ricardo gave his number if you need anything. Room was very clean, shower is small but great water pressure. Hairdryer could be better but it worked, bring your own if you have room in your luggage. AWESOME PLACE!

Misrepresentation of hotel room.
Hotel was nothing like the pictures on line. Trash dumpsters are right in front of the hotel. Foul odor once you walk in the door. Hotel room was extremely hot, bathroom had grime and mildew, toilet top was broken. This hotel is no where a 4 plus and may be a very low 3.

This is an excellent location. It's not fancy, but it's so close to the Colosseum. If you get the suite, there's a kitchenette so you could get groceries. There are lots of restaurants and a market close by, and a version of fast food which had lasagna to go. It was perfect for my tired 13 year old. It's a 30 minute walk from the train stop Termini, coming from the airport. So, on a budget, you could easily get there from the train, but it's a 5 minute walk from the metro station Colosseo. It was 50 Euros for the hotel to arrange airport transportation, if you don't want to walk for 30 minutes.

The property was beautiful! Very nice layout, great pedestal bed in the master bedroom! Nice floors, unique ceilings etc.... it is located within 100 yards of the colosseum! However, the neighbors (not in this facility)were extremely loud and obnoxious, for while at night. Also, and this is killer, There was NO hot, or even warm water in the place! We had trekked all day in 95+ degree weather and were to depart for home the next morning….. and we could NOT take showers! The water was FREEZING! to top it off, the phone numbers we were given to contact management (they do not stay on the premises) were BOTH "unassigned numbers", therefore we could NOT reach anyone for help! Suffice it to say, our 20 our trek home from Italy was not a pleasant one!

8 min walk to the colosseum, 5 mins to palentine hill, 20 mins to Trevi fountain and the pantheon. Also close to the subway. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around but don’t eat close to the colosseum because they’re a rip off! Beds were comfortable (memory foam mattress) but other than that the room wasn’t great. Worlds tiniest shower, the bathroom smelled of sewage and the air conditioner didn’t cool down the room. It was summer and it was near impossible to sleep in the heat. Couldn’t open the window because it’s overlooking a main street and the traffic, people, police sirens, music, garbage trucks, etc were going all night.

We reached Rome quite late but the airport pickup our host arranged did not ask for anything extra. He personally showed us our room. There were shops open nearby and we did not go hungry at night. Colosseum is a walking distance away and on our last night we walked around it. Thankfully we met only helpful people, not swindlers as we had been warned. Rome is beautiful. I have only one regret. We should have stayed at least two more days in Rome and in Locanda Colosseo.

The Property Cancelled on me when I arrived
First of all this property does not have receptionists and if you do not call ahead of your arrival no one will be there to let you in. The day of my arrival they told me someone had broken the bathroom sink and I couldn’t stay there. They told me they had tried to call me a couple days before and even had reached out to expedia to contact me. None of this happened. Expedia did finally send me an email regarding the situation an hour after I had arrived to be told I couldn’t stay there!

B&B in excellent location, great owners
GOOD: This B&B is in the BEST location for everything in Rome. We stayed with our 11&9 yr olds for 10 nights in a quadruple room. It was a double bed (large) and bunk beds. The room was small but comfortable, the beds were ok. Tea/Coffee facilities, sky tv with english options and wifi all made our stay more comfortable. TO CONSIDER: * We referred to this B&B as a 'B' jokingly as they no longer do breakfast, please check your booking company doesn't charge you for this, it was not the hotel's fault. * We did have a small issue with noise occasionally. The hallway is very loud and you can hear the other rooms if other families/singles are noisy. We did have to ask a couple of young lads to be quieter around midnight so our children could sleep. That said, most people were considerate and settled down at reasonable times. The room we were in faced the back of the hotel and there was occasional noise from local pub/restaurants but this always stopped by 11-12pm. Our children are good sleepers so slept through this. * Although check out is 11am, Riccardo kindly kept our suitcases and let us back in to collect later in the afternoon. * Do consider using the airport transfer service, although more expensive than a regular white taxi - it's extremely worth it if travelling with child. * The room didn't have much storage facility for 4 so we were living a bit cramped. However we definitely would return and thank the 'B' for our stay.

The location to the Colosseum is outstanding, end of the block, take a right, and you can see the Colosseum right at the end of the street just a couple blocks away.. The WiFi worked reasonable. Our view was to the city street, which included..well... the expected city street noises. It was quiet by 11pm. Local restaurants were good, Ricardo recommended an excellent one a couple blocks away, and he was spot on. The Room (#1) was a little tight for 3, our shower stall did not really have any elbow room. If you dropped the soap, you ain't picking it up.. LOL, but all that's quite survivable. We did not spend much time in the room anyway, as there is SOOO much to see within walking distance of this Hotel. NOTE: that if your room reservation does not explicitly say taxes included, you will be charged the City tax, IN CASH, as you check out. (more than 10 Euro a day, with 3 of us in the room). We would return to this hotel again.
