    Relatively decent, but too expensive.

    The price should definitely be lowered. The property simply doesn't offer enough to justify the amount we paid. It's small and basic, doesn't have anything besides a bed and a bathroom, and while that isn't necessarily a problem (e.g. we didn't really need anything else), it really loses its chance to be "value for money".

    All members of staff were very polite, talkative, and willing to help. The property was right next to the Termini station (guys, be VERY careful with your stuff around that area) and not too far from the city center/tourist attractions. The apartment was quiet and felt very secure.

    There wasn’t breakfast and no discount in near restaurants, neither shampoos as supposed to. And these are things that they ought you to book a house. The host became rude and changed his mood when he didn’t get the tip that he expected, but the only thing that he did was giving us the keys and was in a hurry although we had questions. Bad noise cancelling, bad Wi-Fi connection, the TV control didn’t have buttery, so couldn’t turn on the TV and the toilet was making a strange noise every 15 minutes

    The Indian boy that received us, he was friendly the first 3 min that we were there, after we didn’t want to give him the return of the fees we paid he become to be upset… he insisted so many times to get it that was really annoyed. We just got two little towels to 3 night and 4 days, plus our toilet had washer clogge problems.

    The location is really good, you can find around restaurants and markets, and the buss station is really close

    There was a terrible smell :( i slept so hard. even my clothes smelled like that after i left the hostel.. The man said I should keep my window closed. At night, thieves were entering through the window. I tried to sleep in fear when there was a terrible smell at 35 degrees.

    Owner was helpful and nice. Location was also good.

    The bathroom. The shower curtain had like black mold on the bottom, and the shower did not drain. And after 2 days of being there I mean it literally didn't drain, and brownish water came back up, making the shower unusable. Definitely disgusting. If this was fixed, it wouldn't have been a bad place.

    The location was less than a 10 minute walk from Termini station and 15 minutes walk from the Colosseum, awesome. It was cheap and had AC - a must during the heatwave. Overall, it was functional, and we got what we paid for. Comfortable enough - did the job and let us spend more euros on gelato & pasta.

    The building is on a prominent street with a major cathedral at one end and a park on the other end yet it is strewn with litter and garbage abandoned at the kerbside. The owner has introduced a rule of binning used toilet paper in the Greek style as there is obviously a problem with the plumbing. The description on the Booking.com site is plainly wrong and I don't think they should be advertising accommodations of this kind. Some of the terms I find misleading are 'family-run b&b', 'Breakfast room service is available free of charge.' I will be looking at these descriptions more carefully in future.

    There are two factors that would determine people choosing this accommodation . It's cheap for Rome and it's near the main railway station. This is an apartment in a large historic building that has been subdivided into several bedrooms and a central kitchen. The central corridor has a CCTV monitor showing four camera angles. I cannot imagine why . There is no permanent staff presence. There is another B&B business operating on the same floor . All the other apartments seem to be private residences.

    The staff was not helpful and we had to wait for our room to be ready. The room is cleanish and bed are passable but it was very old and sombre. The kitchen is old and crusty. The bathroom was barely usable. We had just one night there so we could sleep and take a plane the next day but it wasn't a pleasant stay.

    It was close to the train station.

    More of a hostel. There's 4 rooms and a shared kitchenette - that's it. Some very inexpensive upkeep would make this much more customer friendly. A few things to look at, Towels, soap, toilet paper (good thing I brought some) , light bulbs. The bed was very hard & could use a memory foam topper,. Lastly the cable didn't work mostly.

    It's near the train station, about a 20 minute walk to the coliseum and maybe 25 to the Spanish steps & Trevi Fountain. It's comparatively cheap for downtown Rome. The owner(?) was personable.

    The bed was quite hard to sleep on, therefore we wouldn't have wanted to stay more than our 2 nights. The bathroom was nice to have but we did have a slight sewer smell towards the end of our stay. We only saw the host for check in and then not again for the rest of our stay, this wasn't an issue but may have been if we needed anything.

    The location was excellent. It was within 20 minutes maximum of all of the sights. The kitchen facilities was useful and it was nice to have an en suite bathroom in the double room. We felt the room was very well priced.

    owner made us pay a 50 euro late check in fee which seems overly priced. sink and shower got blocked on the first day we arrived. the owner tried to blame it on us and threaten to make us pay for a technician. We asked to leave our bags after check out as we had a plane to catch in the evening and he said it would cost 5 euro. when we asked why we had to pay he said because they didn’t have room to hold our luggage, even though we just left the luggage in the room. he was also over 30 minutes late to open the door and did not communicate to us so we could collect our luggage which was stressful as we had a flight to catch. it felt like he was trying to take advantage of us and make extra money that he could just pocket. furthermore, all interactions with him he was incredibly rude and blunt, you would expect that someone who owns a hospitality business would at least try to be kind and respectful to their guests.

    has an air conditioning, room is spacious and nice. clean. good location 15 minutes from Colosseum and Trevi Fountain
