Every staff is so friendly and willing to help. Location is perfect for sightseeing Vatican and St.Angelo. Although I stayed in a shared room with 6 persons, it was very safe and comfortable. Please be noted you need to check in before 21:00 as they will need to close the building door. Or you will need to make a phone call in case if you will be late. There are plenty of delicatessens and convenience stores nearby which is really helpful for tight budget trip. Not suitable for those who want 3 star hotel cleanliness, in which case you should stay at a 3 star hotel.

Great place to stay in Rome

Located just between the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo, it's a convenient place to base a trip in Rome. I was able to walk to all parts of the city without a problem and the area has a lot of good places to eat. The apartment was nice with a shared patio area and an iron gate for added security. I woke up early to get around the city before most tourists were out and enjoyed a nice cup of coffee on the patio while listening to the birds singing. Very serene and lovely place to stay.

I had a reservation for 5 nights at Finestra di Luz, but my plane arrives after 8 pm and the check-in was not possible so late. Then the hotel proposed me to find another hotel just for the first night, and I accepted with gratitude. BUT when I arrived in Roma, Finestra di Luz send me a message to explain that all my nights have been cancelled and that I have to go in another hotel nearby. The problem is that this new hotel was just disgusting: very old, dirty, with no hot water in the morning, deficient wifi, broken coffe machine and least but not last very expansive for this crap (100 euros a night). A real shame!

Shabby but not Chic

Overall the pictures made it seem like a cute tucked away Roman B&B, but instead it was just a dark room tucked in the ground floor of a large apartment complex. It was perfectly clean and central if you’re looking for a bed and shower, this place is perfectly fine for a quick stay. The decor and amenities were definitely shabby, but not chic. I would have liked a more authentic Italian experience personally. The price could have been lower for what we got.
