Gianluca and his staff are the nicest, most heartwarming people we've met. Always greeting us with a smile and accommodating our every need. Breakfast had an incredible atmosphere and view, with freshly made eggs (with cheese, ham, and bacon!) and freshly toasted bread. There were fruits, yoghurt, tea, coffee, croissants, prosciutto, cheese, three types of jam, Nutella, honey, and of course butter. So delicious. Best B&B breakfast I've ever had. The room is decorated with so much love and many details. Spacious and clean! The beds are so comfortable. We didn't hear anything from other neighbours, rooms or outside. The location of the B&B is a dream. It's just a 10-15min walk from the St. Peter's basilica and literally next to the Ottaviano metro station. Many nice restaurants in the area. Outside of the room, in the reception area, there was tea and some biscuits. The host Gianluca booked the taxis for us, made personalized plans on maps, and offered an easy and comfortable check-out with luggage storage. His recommendations and tips were always on point, he was always available via WhatsApp. Extremely kind host who loves doing his job! His staff are also amazing!! We've never felt so welcomed!

Really tiny suggestion but the TV could've been connected to the internet - that way, the smarthub/apps could've been used.

Casa Martini is a great family-run small hotel/B&B. Because it's small, it doesn't have the amenities of a large hotel (no pool, gym, super-elaborate breakfast, etc). That said, the rooms are clean and comfortable, including the beds and shower, with good wifi and good sound-proofing against street noise. There's a cute breakfast room at the roof in which an eggs to your liking-toast-cold cuts-croissant-drinks-fruit breakfast is served. There's also a small common kitchen with complementary tea and cookies as well as a small library. The staff is great: the breakfast staff remembered our preferences, and owner Gianluca communicates quickly and clearly. He was also very helpful in advising on tourist attractions and pointing out the best walking routes. One of the best things about Casa Martini is its location. It's a mere 10 min. walk from the Vatican (we hung out at St Peter's square quite a bit, great spot to watch people), and right next to metro stop Ottaviano, which really adds to your mobility. As everywhere in Rome, there are numerous good restaurants nearby.

Casa Martini is on the fourth (top) floor of a non-descript building which from the outside does not indicate there's a hotel inside. We arrived late at night and given that there is no sign of Casa Martini at the outside of the building, we really wondered if we were at the right place. For future guests: there's a sign for the British school at a ground-floor window and a 24/7 bakery right next door (staircase going down from street level; awesome little store, we recommend the pesto rice balls). The entrance to Casa Martini is the main big brown double doors. Inside, go right to the elevator, 4th floor, and right again out of the elevator.

Our stay at Casa Martini was fantastic—the room and all the shared areas were excellent, the location is great, and Gianluca and the staff are wonderful. If there were any downsides, they were so minor I can’t even recall them. Room: The room was truly spacious and wonderfully quiet. It even had a little entrance hall with a large wardrobe, plus a generously sized bathroom. Everything was spotless-and it wasn't just a one-off deep clean: the staff came by regularly throughout our stay to tidy and refresh the space, so it always felt immaculate. Nearby activities: Within walking distance: the Vatican, great restaurants, gelato spots, bakeries, shops, and even a playground for the kids. Walkability: It's within walking distance of the Vatican, several bus stops for multiple lines are nearby, and the metro station is also very close-so all of Rome is easily within reach. Food and drinks: Breakfast was excellent - each member of our family of four found something to enjoy, and the variety was broad enough that we never got bored during our extended stay.

Everything was perfect. We stayed in the large room as I remember called "Nordic". We had a small fridge in the room with soft drinks and snacks, a coffee maker, and tea bags ( chargeable but affordable ). Free safe Free iron and iron board Shared kitchen available with free tea, coffee, and biscuits :) The customer service was great, and our room was cleaned on a daily basis. Great breakfast on the roof terrace, with great selection, fresh fruits, eggs, croissant, bread, yoghurts, fruit juice, jam, etc...perfect selection! At the end of the day, you can use the roof terrace for the private evening entertainment (glass of wine or meal ) Great location 5min walk to metro station or bus stop. Walking distance to Vatican, around 10-15min There is nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect !!! We would like to say big thank you for amazing customer service!

Gianluca was the best of the best hosts. Sat down with us when we checked in and gave superb eating suggestions, shopping, districts to see and gelato shops…greeted us each morning at breakfast with a smile as well smiles from his staff. Breakfast was excellent and relaxing on rooftop. Ordered us up taxis for immediate pickup to airport 2 days and worked with us to ship some wine home to States. Really enjoyed Spring room which was a bright pink. Nice to have little kitchenette with fridge. (And the chocolate chip cookies and access to coffee 24/7 was a bonus). Location was great…we enjoyed strolls thru St Peters square each nite just a short distance away. Overall would rate the property a 10+. We will be back!!!

Minimum stay was 3 nites and we had an adult son who was in Rome only 2 nights so we needed to pay for a 3 nite when he was not there (but we made great use of that nite by adding his 3 down pillows to our room) 😀

We had a wonderful stay at this family - managed guest house thanks in large part to the warm and welcoming host, Gianluca, who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, recommended some lovely spots with local cuisine and was always ready to help. One of the absolute highlights was the abundant breakfast served on the roof terrace by the host himself. Starting the day with coffee, fresh big croissants, fruit, ham and cheese, 3 types of fried eggs to choose from (scrambled, sunny-side-up, omelette), etc. while enjoying the greenery around was simply unforgettable. The location of the guesthouse is unbeatable – just steps from the Ottaviano metro stop and several bus lines, making it incredibly easy to explore the city. It is also just a short walk to the Vatican. The room itself was clean and cozy, with a comfy bed and a good-pressure shower (built in a bath). We also appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine in the room. The shared kitchen (for 4 rooms) was also a benefit. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a simple, comfortable and heartwarming stay in Rome! Thank you, Gianluca and your staff for exceptional hospitality!

We had a fantastic experience at Casa Martini! The location is unbeatable — just a gentle 10-minute stroll to St. Peter's Basilica, making it the perfect base for exploring Rome. The surrounding area is full of great restaurants and cafes, so finding a delicious meal nearby was never a problem. Our room for a family of four was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We were able to drop our bags off before check-in, and since the room was ready early, we appreciated being able to check in mid-morning. Breakfast each day was homely and filling, a lovely way to start the day. The mini bar in the room was very reasonably priced, and we appreciated the free in-room safe for our valuables. Casa Martini exceeded our expectations — convenient, comfortable, and with genuine hospitality. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return on our next trip to Rome!

Not clear when entering the building where the Casa Martini was located

This B&B has been poured with so much love and hospitality from the owners and the staff that made our Rome trip a memorable one. Excellent location, nice and clean apartments which looked recently renovated with superb breakfast. The staff was very helpful and friendly from start to end - full marks to Lisette. The best part was the air conditioning which made our lives easier in the sweltering hot weather.The staff ensured that the rooms were pre-cooled before the guests check-in. If I were to visit Rome again, I would definitely take the same B&B.

The nearest metro station was dangerously crowded during peak hours due to its proximity to the Vatican with tourists in large numbers..

casa Martini provided us with a perfect accommodation experience from the moment we first entered until we said goodbye and left. Gianluca arranged the transfer from the airport for us. We arrived in about 40 minutes. Our room was spotless, everything we needed was available, from the phone to the slippers, from the coffee machine to the hygiene sets. Our bathroom was sparkling clean. Our room was cleaned and made like flowers every day. Gianluca's attention to each and every one of us at breakfast really made a difference. If I go to Rome again, I would stay here again without a second thought, I can say ten out of ten. The longest distance to the hotel is the Colosseum, we only used the metro for the Colosseum, the metro is 3 minutes away when you exit the door. We walked to all the other places we could see.

Nothing

Excellent host who was helpful in sharing his local knowledge and recommendations. The location was excellent with a Metro station on the doorstep and within a nice area close to the Vatican. Shops bars and restaurants a plenty but still felt peaceful in the room. The roof terrace was great for breakfasts, and we also used to relax on the evening on occasion. Breakfast is also worthy of a mention, great quality, variety, and lots of it

Some coat hooks on the wall would be useful to hang coats up, and more wardrobe space would be useful, particularly for longer stays
