We had the Via Catona room - bright, spacious, recently modernised. Extremely comfortable bed and pillow with lovely crisp white bedding. Slept extremely well. The room had a cable charging point at the bed which was handy, and a mini fridge and kettle, as well as separate sink, tables, hanging space and drawers. The bathroom was large, newly installed and very clean. Towels provided. Larger walk in shower and bidet in the bathroom was a nice touch. The room was cleaned every day. Outstanding location, very close to the Vatican in a quieter side street yet super close to places to shop and eat. Lovely historic building - if you are looking for an authentic Italian living experience - this is it. I realised the euro converter plug I had wasn't suitable for Italy. Sent a message to the host and within 5 minutes he appeared with one to borrow. I liked the communication via WhatsApp. On check out we were able to store our bags until ready and the host ordered us a taxi for the airport - 55 euros to FCO.

It would be even better if: - the room was completely finished. Headboards and lamps would be good. The sink needs secured to the wall. There are a couple of holes in the wall that need filled. - the fixed showerhead in the bathroom worked - but you can use a second hand held one. - the shower drained a bit better - we had more notice of the airport shuttle, where we were staying (Via Catona and not Via Fabio Massimo) and so on.

Absolutely loved my stay here! The staff were very friendly and nice, plus they were always easy to reach whenever I needed them. The room was beyond enough for one person, and I especially loved the cute interior and the little window. Nice room cleaning service, but they change the towel only once every two days. Very good location near the Vatican, and it was in a residential area so wasn't really that crowded or noisy at all. There was also a lot of cute local cafes nearby that were perfect for breakfast! Overall the room was so nice that I was happy to come back to it after a long day of traveling around. Would definitely book this place again if I'm to visit Rome again.

I had a little trouble with the keys.. they were a bit difficult to use. But the staff were very considerate when I asked them how to use it! They even came by to show me how. Otherwise there are no complaints!

Fantastic location - within easy walking distance to the Vatican, shopping areas, plenty of food and supermarket options. Good connections to other parts of the town by bus (stops are a 5 mins walk). The neighbourhood itself is very pleasant. Host was very hospitable and friendly, also very responsive, thanks for your hospitality! Amenities, cleanliness etc up to expectation. Overall a great stay

Soundproofing could be better, I could hear sounds from other bathrooms occasionally. Water heater is a bit wonky but it didn't bother me much. The door lock is hard to use! Struggled a few times

I have traveled a lot, but I can honestly say this was one of the most outstanding stays I’ve ever had. The host was exceptionally kind, the room was spotlessly clean, and the location was absolutely perfect. It was the ideal place to experience the local neighborhood vibe. Even the people I met in the building were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole stay feel even warmer. Thanks to this wonderful stay, my mom was also able to enjoy and complete her trip happily. I will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay—definitely one of the best experiences we've had in Rome! We will definitely be booking again. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and everything was handled so smoothly from start to finish. The airport transfer was seamless. Even though we arrived late, our driver greeted us with a warm smile, which instantly put us at ease. On our departure day, he picked us up at 3 AM on the dot—punctual and professional. A solid 10/10! The hotel's location was perfect—within walking distance to all the major attractions, which made exploring the city super easy. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very clean—just what we needed after long days out. Highly recommended!

Here’s a short, positive review tailored to a stay in a room in Rome, Italy: My stay in Rome was unforgettable, thanks to the lovely room I called home for a few days. Tucked away in the heart of the city, it was a perfect blend of comfort and charm, with classic Roman touches like tiled floors and a wrought overlooking a bustling street. The bed was cozy, the space spotlessly clean, and the host’s hospitality made me feel so welcome—complete with tips for the best nearby trattorias. Just steps from iconic sights like the Colosseum, it was an ideal base for exploring. I’d book it again in a heartbeat!

Having 3 rooms, we were moved to a location about 3 minutes away from the original one. Rooms were freshly renovated, very clean and spacious. Blinds on the windows eliminated light and noise from the street. Spacious bathroom. About 3 minutes walking distance from Ottaviano metro station, and 10 minutes from Vatican. Breakfast were provided at a nearby coffee spot in Italian style - croissant/toast, coffee/tee, juice. The coffee place also provided gluten free croissants and sweets. The hosts were absolutely incredible.

Recommendation Letter for a Guesthouse in Rome I would like to warmly thank and highly recommend the guesthouse where I stayed during my visit to Rome. The location is perfect – very close to the Vatican and easily accessible by public transportation and to the city center. The room was clean, well-organized, and comfortable – ideal for anyone looking for a quiet and tidy place to stay. The owners were available via WhatsApp for any questions or issues, always responding quickly and kindly.

The room was small but perfectly sufficient for a comfortable night’s sleep

Great location, super close to the Vatican and many nice restaurants just around the corner. We had the apartment which was well equipped for a short stay in Rome. Each room had air-condition and it was also super quite in the night. As others wrote the shower pressure is not great but not a deal breaker. Outstanding is the communication, this is not a hotel but these guys are always available over WhatsApp and always on time. P.S. We booked the transfer for 55€ from and to the Airport, which is also the default fee for Taxis. Worked perfectly.

The staff was easy to deal with (they don't have a manned reception but you can contact them with WhatsApp, which worked fine for us). The AC worked. The room was quiet and comfortable. They provided an extra bed for our kid (we weren't quite clear from the description). Great location near Vatican.

Unusual was that there was no covering of the floor (bare cement), which was cleaned daily but not really ideal cleanliness-wise. I assume this is an interim situation. We were at an alternate property at Via Caltone 21 btw.
