Not what expected but still good
Great area. Close to great food and transportation. Felt safe. It wasn’t what was advertised, yet still “homey”. Knowing the place now we’d still stay there again.

Andrea the Owner is great, good localization. The only problem is the share bathroom the toilet should be apart from the shower room waiting time to use and the floor always wet.

Fantastic area and great stay
Basic accommodation but perfectly nice and comfortable. If you book a room without a private bathroom be warned the shower in the shared one is really small. However its clean and we never had any waiting times to use it. Really couldnt have asked for a better location for seeing Rome and such a reasonable price (comparatively speaking). The Manager/owner was extremely helpful. I also really appreciated the sound proofing windows which did an excellent job of keeping out street noise.

Just OK
Room was clean but a bit small. Location was great. Stairs were a bit steep with sharp curves and one step is broken. Sofa in the common room needs to be replaced. Kitchen needs a microwave or at least a couple pots/pans for warming up food. Breakfast items only included cereal, milk, yogurt, bread, butter and Jelly which is not up to the expectation you get when the description of the place states "bed and breakfast".

Great location but a little noisy
It was a lovely location and very easy to walk to all the main attractions of Rome. Andrea (the owner) was very helpful, giving us maps and useful tips for where to go and what to eat. The room itself was perfectly adequate for what we needed. I would have preferred a room closer to the bathroom as our room was at the opposite end of the corridor. This was slightly frustrating when you walk all the way to find that the bathroom is already being occupied by another guest to then have to go back to your room and guess how long to leave it before returning. The B&B is above a bar so it does get quite noisy at night. I personally didn't find this an issue but my partner struggled with sleep so I'd recommend taking ear plugs if you're a light sleeper! The breakfast is a voucher to get a pastry and coffee at one of two places (the bar underneath or a little cafe further down the road). We preferred the little cafe as there was more choice and it seemed a little friendlier. Overall we had a nice stay and would probably stay again but not for more than a couple of nights.

This is actually a little apartment. The area is great close to everything you need. The apartment and common areas are clean. The breakfast is a do it yourself deal with some toast, yogurt, juice and coffee available for you to prepare. It is located down some small alleys which would have made me feel uncomfortable walking down at night. The owner is very nice and helpful

Excellent B&B Experience
I was just expecting a single room at a hotel. I received a more in a two bedroom apartment with access to the common areas, including kitchen and living room. The staff stocked the fridge each day so that I could make my own breakfast. The room had AC which worked well. The apartment is very clean and tastefully decorated. Christian, who works for the hotel, met me after-hours at 1030 when I arrived in town. Gave me the keys and checked me in. Super friendly guy. This hotel exceeded my expectations!

Loved the location!
We loved the location, but as people say, it is above one of the busiest bars in Rome. However, a good pair of earplugs can solve that. We lived staying in Trastevere as it is a young and less touristic part of Rome. We walked to every major point of interest, so if you don't mind walking a bit (everything is reachable in 30 minutes), I really recommend Trastevere. Wifi worked in the main living room and for the rooms near it, but we had a private bathroom so it did not work in our room (we were not close to the living room). Breakfast is a croissant and a cappuccino, which is the Classic Italian breakfast. Owners are nice but discreet. Overall, we really liked our stay!

Popular bar near the hotel
The rooms are just above a very popular bar which is open late. The windows are shutting out most of the noise, and there is no music, only the murmur of voices, so it is not very disturbing, but good to know... On the other hand, it is one of the most epic bars in Rome, and appears for example in the film La Grande Bellezza, so the location is perfect if you want Roman atmosphere.

Great location
This B&B is in the heart of Trastevere, a beautiful and very lively part of Rome. The hotel itself is nice and clean, and Andrea the owner is very friendly and helpful. It is right above a popular bar and can be quite noisy but this added to the atmosphere and didn't stop us from getting to sleep at all. Good value for money.

Great Location, Nice Decor, Clean, Great Service
The hotel was perfectly positioned in the heart of Trastevere, surrounded by lovely little piazzas hidden amoung beautiful buildings on cobbled streets. A short walk from the main road and the river where the buses run, and only a 20 minute walk from central Rome. The owner was incredibly welcoming and very helpful, providing us with a map and information about the city. Great local bar downstairs with cheap drinks - would say that this is perhaps a venue ideal for younger rather than older people. Noise from the bar is noticeable, and can go on until the early hours of the morning, however the double glazed windows conceal the noise well. Our room was nicely decorated and very clean, we had a private bathroom just across the corridor which followed the same format. All in all this is a fantastic place , the only drawback being the late night activity from the bar below, hence why it is probably best for younger people. It didn't bother us at all, but might not be quite right for others.

This B &B is in the heart of Trastevere and above the most popular bar/coffee shop. My bike your even stopped there for coffee break and local guide said its where real Romans go, rather than to expensive tourist areas. The manager was very helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations, booking taxis etc. it is noisy all night and a light from the bar shone all night. Most frustrating however was the timer on all hall lights that meant a walk to the shared bathroom in the middle of the night required use of my flashlight, but it was all worth the experience.

My stay was pleasant. Andrea, the host, is friendly and organized. No troubles with check-in. The room and bathroom were relatively clean. Breakfast is very basic, but in Rome there is something to eat at every corner. Location is really great for exploring the city on foot. The only negative things I can point out are that the room is very noisy. From outside but also from other guests inside. You can hear EVERYTHING :( Also rather early check-out time 10am and I felt i got kicked out because the other guests had already arrived!! Most hotels don't let new guests check-in until 14h.

Lovely but a little noisy
This B&B is in a great suburb, near cheap good quality food. There is always something fun going on in the piazzas nervy.. The room was huge and had its own private bathroom. Comfortable bed.. Andrea was incredibly friendly and helpful with showing me on a map what to see in Rome and also locally around the neighbourhood. Only downside is the B&B is directly above some very noisy restaurants whose patrons stay until the wee hours of the morning. I would stay here again though.

Wonderful spot in Trastevere
This was a really great location in Trastevere, right in the heart of one of the most charming neighborhoods in Rome. Close to great restaurants and sights, and the owner was friendly and helpful and easy to contact by email. Only one note of caution: loud at night (because of all the bars and restaurants nearby). Would definitely return.

It was a very convenient location and a nice little quaint room; I did not like the shared bathroom idea but it was not the least bit dirty and I actually didn't mind it in the end. The bathroom was a tad bit small but that's just european size. the only thing i disliked about the place was that it was very loud at night so if you are trying to get a good nights rest, this is not the place for you. Other than that it was a great stay for such an excellent price. Andrea, the host, was excellent, very welcoming, and extremely friendly.

Over expectations
A positive surprise, we were installed in a charming apartment a few hundred meters from the main bed & breakfast. We shared the apartment and its big kitchen and living room area with just one more couple. It felt like we had our own flat in beutiful Trastavere. Just briefly met the owner at arrival and got a good briefing on the surroundning sights and local transportation.

Great location in Testervere for a budget B & B
After the 1st nights confusion on which bathroom was ours to use, we had a wonderful stay. The B & B is just around the corner from a beautiful piazza with music and gathering in the evening. The breakfast was continental which was fine for me, but my husband was left wanting. The showers (openings) were small even for European B & B standards. Not for a plus sized person! Very clean Overall we enjoyed our 3 night stay very much and I loved the neighborhood!! I would stay there again!! .

WARNING, WARNING save money and a bad experience, on time !!
Read carefully because these lines may save you money, time and a terrible experience in your trip to Rome. It seems to be a nice option for B&B unless, like happened to me, the manager decide (by himself) to relocate you at the last minute, so you have no choice or other place to go, even if he sent you an email the day before confirming the room. He may take you “just” 100 meters away; but that distance is enough to sleep under a bridge, a bench park or the street, too. In my case I was supposed to meet with my girlfriend there, but I couldn’t , so there she was using my reservation, but placed in a small two bedrooms apartment, sleeping in an adapted attic room, small enough to fit a full bed and having to use the bathroom downstairs. What I paid for was: Double bedroom, in-suite bathroom, breakfast and wi-fi. Talking about the “breakfast”, in case you are expecting a croissant or toasted bread, etc. NO! It is a cheap bag with some bread in it, but not even as “good” as an airplane meal. Luckily for us it was only a 2-day experience. It you are not a homeless traveling or backpacker with very low budget, DO NOT go to this hotel. Charming does not mean they are serious to honor your deal. Expedia, did a GREAT job, contacting the place and offering me a rearrangement. Anyone can survive the experience, but it is the principle of the agreement was broken and unilateral changes without your consent are the problem. Good Luck and have a nice trip.

misadvertised
1. The hotel advertisers a room with "private bathroom". However, the "private bathroom" is across the hall. I wouldn't call this private, even if other rooms don't use the same bathroom. 2. There was no one at the hotel at night, and the wireless was not working. 3. The "breakfast" was basically a cup of coffee at the bar downstairs (we could also choose from a few not-fresh-looking unappetizing pastries). 4. The location is good (a very happening neighborhood), though pretty noisy (which I didn't mind). You have to keep the windows closed to be able to sleep at night. 5. The shower was so low you have to bend to get under it! 6. Check out time is 10:30 (which is pretty early), but the lady knocked on the door and woke us up to tell us that she needs the room around 10am. Overall: It would've been an ok hotel if they hadn't mis-advertised their rooms (esp the private bathroom thing). Wouldn't stay there next time.

Nice but noisy
We enjoyed staying here, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is nice and central, so we could walk to many of Rome's attractions. On the downside breakfast was not really what we were expecting, just a coffee and pastry in a grotty cafe under the hotel. The same cafe/bar that was extremely busy and noisy at night. It was winter so we had the window and shutters closed but still needed to wear earplugs to get to sleep. I would imagine it would be difficult in the summer with the roar of noise if you had to open the window. I felt that the hotel was a little over-priced considering all this and that the bathroom was absolutely tiny. But we did enjoy our stay all the same.

Le B&B est très bien situé, dans le coeur de la movida Romaine, propre et l'accueil est agréable, mais attention avant de réserver : le petit déjeuner n'est pas sur place et les salles de bains ne sont pas dans les chambres. A l'étage où nous étions, il y avait 4 chambres (dont une qui n'est pas numérotée) et 4 salles de bains. Les salles de bains, même si "privatives" ne sont pas dans les chambres, mais en face de votre chambre. Pour vous y rendre, il faudra passer dans le couloir. Sur les 4 SDB, seul l'une d'entre elles dispose d'une fenêtre, les 3 autres sont minuscules. Sur les 3 SDB minuscules, l'une d'entre elles est "commune" et donc, à partager. Pour ce qui est du petit déjeuner, il faudra vous rendre dans un café au coin de la rue (environ 200m). Vous aurez droit à une boisson chaude et à un croissant ou une part de crostata. Le café est sympa et plutôt bon.
