Great view of the city, seamless check-in/out process. The shower room had a smell. Otherwise, it was a nice place to stay in.

Great stay
Very friendly and helpful owners of the b&b. Very comfortable and sone great olaces around to have pizza and ice cream. Close to trains and ciampino airport. B&b is on 10th floor with a nice view. Our bathroom was in the hall but it wasn't a big problem for us. Very clean and looked after. Handy guide around rome made from the owners. Breakfast included was a croissant with a coffe in lively restaurant just minute away from b&b. Missing Rome already

Lovely stay
Lovely cosy room in B&B. Bed is comfortable and great balcony. Our host Agnes was very lovely and super helpful. Check out was at 11 but she let us keep our bags there till 5 so we weren’t carrying them around Rome all day. The cafe she gives you vouchers for is lovely, you get a hot drink and a croissant ☺️ Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Agnes!

Clean, Basic Accommodation near ROMA OSTIENSE Rail
I needed a bed/bath which was accessible by Trenitalia - specifically the Roma Ostiense station. It is a three (3) unit guest house, on the tenth (10th) floor of an older apartment block, now a condo. The room and bath were very clean and comfortable. The surrounding neighbourhood was interesting, with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. I would stay there again and recommend it others seeking this type of accommodation. My only advice would be to ensure that you are clear on the location, if arriving by train.

Best Deal in Rome — Ideal Location
I'm so glad I found this place on Expedia! I was looking for a place to stay in Testaccio near Piramide. At first, I didn't realize it was listed under Aventino in Expedia. Aventino (Aventine Hill) is the wealthy area of Rome. City Lights is near there, but in a working class residential area on the other side of the pyramid/Piradmide Metro station. City Lights is on Via Ostiense, which is the main drag of a gentrifying, fun neighborhood with tons of great restaurants/cafes. The night life neighborhood around the pyramid is a 5-10 minute walk. City Lights is 2 blocks from the train station & 3 from the Metro stop, so it's easy to get here from FCO, and then to get all around Rome by Metro or bus. My favorite part of the location is its proximity to Eataly — the temple to Italian cuisine! They have foods typical to each area in Italy & bring them all together into a huge supermarket. There are several restaurants there, each dedicated to different cuisine. It's a great place to find distinctive gifts at good prices to bring home. Food here costs the same as the average restaurant (& much less than tourist traps). It's just a 5 minute walk from City Lights. The room itself is very comfortable & stylishly appointed. The bed is comfy. It's quiet enough. There's lots of room to spread out & places to unpack your stuff. The bathroom is modern, private. Agnes is very nice & helpful. The included breakfast is quite good & in a cool cafe next to the entrance to City Lights.

My wife and I stayed here for five nights as part of our honeymoon trip. The owners have a total of three rooms here and we're very hospitable. No one was there when we arrived, but they showed up within 30 minutes of calling and offered to take us out for drinks in a nearby neighborhood while the room was being cleaned. The neighborhood is decently busy and there is a lot of graffiti, but we felt very safe walking around into the evening hours. We chose to sleep with the backdoor/windows closed because of the busy street (honking) and train tracks just down the block from the building, from did not mind this because the room had AC. Overall a great stay and would stay there again. Note: the gelato shop just kitty-corner to the hotel is awesome!!
Dear Daniel, we were glad to host you. Check-in starts at 12.00 AM, if the guest arrive before and the room is not ready yet, guest need to wait the check-in time. Everywhere in the center of Rome there is noise during the weekend and is better to close the windows. We are happy that you have been fine and we hope to see you soon again. Agnes and Marco

Note positive: cortesia del personale, vista panoramica e colazione presso una pasticceria convenzionata Note negative: pulizia della stanza, poca cura dell'ambiente, copriletto con delle macchie. I dettagli devono essere curati con più attenzione. Dalle fotografie sembra molto più carina.

A very nice B&B, very comfortable! The location is a bit off the city center but just 2 stations away by metro from the Coliseo and easy to get to FCO airport by train. It's a quite residential area, full of nice and good coffee shops, pizzerias and trendy restaurants .... away from the classic spots (and sometimes tourist traps) in downtown Roma.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, si potrebbe solamente migliorare un pochino l'insonorizzazione, ma per il resto tutto perfetto. Da consigliare sicuramente. Grazie

Godt opphold på rimelig B & B
Mottakelsen og servicen som eierne viste under hele oppholdet var eksepsjonell. Utrolig herlige mennesker som gjorde alt de kunne for å tilrettelegge for et godt opphold, og de tok seg god tid til å komme med tips og råd. Trykket på toalett og dusj var dårlig, dørlåsen på inngangsdøren fungerte dårlig, og det var mye støy fra trafikken utenfor, men pga. dedikerte og serviceinnstilte mennesker som gjorde seg tilgjengelige for hjelp og råd underveis hadde vi et flott opphold til en god pris, og vil vurdere det igjen! Fint og moderne rom, og nær kollektivtrafikk.

Hotel muito bem localizado
Foi uma surpresa muito agradável me hospedar neste hotel. A entrada do prédio não é bonita e o elevador é muito antigo. Mas dentro do hotel a partir do hall de entrada fiquei muito satisfeito pelo custo/benefício sobretudo pelo hotel ficar próximo da estação de metrô, supermercado carrefour e restaurantes, mc donalds, etc.

Hotel pulito, ben collegato ai mezzi per qualsiasi zona. Stanza un pò rumorosa perchè il palazzo si trova sopra la ferrovia, e unica pecca il bagno esterno ma comunque privato! Pulizie ogni 3 notti e non tutti i giorni.
Response from Agnese on 7 May 2016
Gentile ospite, è stato un piacere averti nel nostro Bed and breakfast. Anche se la struttura si trova nelle vicinanze della ferrovia, il rumore proveniente dall'esterno è notevolmente attutito dalle finestre con i tripli vetri che abbiamo installato recentemente. Noi abbiamo due camere con il bagno interno e una con il bagno esterno privato a 3 metri dalla camera. Secondo le richieste degli ospiti puliamo la camera ogni giorno oppure ogni tre giorni compreso il cambio della biancheria.

Pleno centro de ciudad. Mucho ruido, pero bien situado y con buenas vistas. No sabiamos a qué hora realizaban limpieza de habitacion, puesto que solo la hicieron el primer día y como muy tarde saliamos a las 12 de la misma. La chica simpatica, muy agradable y con un detallazo al llegar. Nos dio de picar algo de pizza y champan, buenísimo.

Gentil huésped, fue un placer tenerte en nuestro B & B. Hemos instalado las ventanas con triple acristalamiento para amortiguar el ruido de la calle. A demanda de los huéspedes, la limpieza se realizan todos los días o cada tres días. Espero verte pronto.
