We enjoyed our quick stay. The only weird thing we experienced is the address listed on Hotels.com is a free doors down from the actually B&B. The staff was amazing though and our room worked wonderfully for our family of 4. We loved the breakfast at the bar down the street. Great place in the heart of Monti. Would recommend.

Good stay
We stayed in a large room with a tiny bath and were very comfortable. Breakfast in a small restaurant 2 blocks away was nice -- croissants, coffee, bread, cheese, yogurt and juice. After a few days we paid extra for omelets to get a little protein and variety. Very nice neighborhood with good restaurants just half a mile from the Roman Colosseu.

Incredibly friendly staff. The area is pretty strategic for basically whatever you want to do in Rome. Room was clean felt safe as well. The only thing I wish was better was the Wi-Fi it was pretty slow. if I could give 4.8 Stars I would.

This hotel was an excellent location for walking to all the major sites around the city. The breakfast was in a local cafe, but perfectly adequate, if a little limited.
The room was very comfortable, clean and quiet. But there was no kettle to make a drink. There was a lift for getting to the fifth floor. It felt safe and secure and there was a safe in the room.

This property was perfect for getting around to the Colosseum/Roman Forum, and also to the Trevi Fountain/Pantheon as it sits close to both. We also we able to walk from the train station as well even though with luggage wasn’t ideal. The breakfast was good and the staff were very nice. It is in the city so expect noise outside and could hear people in the hallway fairly easily. Overall we really enjoyed that we stayed here because of the ability to get around.

Sylvia at check in was friendly, helpful and even drove with us to park our car at the owner’s personal garage. We felt like family.
The bed was a bit firm and the A/C a little too warm but everything else was great.
