I wouldn’t recommend
Let’s start by saying that the pictures are way nicer than the real life. The building is old, cold and smell bad. Our room was full of problems: the water in the shower was not draining. There was a blood stain in our sheets. There was a big hole in the bathroom. The bed was the most uncomfortable, the mattress was so thin and also the pillows. The place was not clean, dirty carpet, I found stuff under the bed and the pillows had a dirty smell. We could hear everything from the other rooms, so with a 9 hours jet leg we couldn’t sleep in. We stayed 5 days because I paid in advance, I completely regret and my back still hurts from that mattress. This place almost ruined our visit in Rome. We were charged an extra 35 euros for tourist fee. The elevator looks unsafe, old and smelly we ended up taking the stairs most of times. Not fun since is on the 4 floor. Staff is very nice, but the place needs upgrades immediately!!!

Sorry, but we didn't receive any complain that you mentioned in your review during your stay.The building has been builded in 1900 and the lift is an historical lift ,working well and checked periodically by professional in the sector . Anyway, I hope you are satisfied about your holiday in the eternal city.

The property’s location was quite honestly phenomenal. I highly recommend the area near the Vatican. However, Rovati’s listed amenities on Expedia are a complete fabrication. The room, while clean, was like a prison. The double bed was awful and basically a box spring, the worst pillows ever, not enough hot water in the shower for two guests, no room safe as advertised and no towel service at all. With all of that being said, Angela Rovati was responsive to general questions but had the audacity to charge the €20 late check-in fee despite not having anything that had been listed on their advertisement. I would highly recommend the area but absolutely do not stay at Rovati Guesthouse. You will be extremely disappointed. In fact, I will be contacting Expedia directly for a more formal complaint.

Sorry you didn't complain before,on Expedia is write to contact for arrival time and that for night check in (after 9 pm) there is a surplus. That's is write on you reservation. I hope you enjoy in this wonderful city

The proprietor really took care of us.
This place was great! The proprietor must have spent three or four hours taking care of us, trying to straighten things up with Expedia. And when that was not possible he found us another room even though Rome was 99% booked. A great place to stay, just DO NOT book it on Expedia! They have no problems with the other major services.

We will be back
We enjoyed stay at the Rovati Guest House immensely, our host Paolo was amazing, so helpful, warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The guest house was sat just up from a square with a fountain in which you could sit and watch the world go by. Ideally placed for the Vatican/St Peter's Square and local shops and restaurants. There was also a courtyard on the ground floor of the quest house. Rooms were large and airy and fully equipped.

Pros cancelled out the cons
This hotel was a good value choice for 2 recent graduates taking a 7 day holiday in Rome. The location was great for the Vatican, and wasn't too far of a walk to most of the key sites (or the metro station was just down the road). Paulo was great and really helpful, offering us advice on how to get around, however was not there to let us in as promised and we had to wait for him to arrive to check in. The room was small but decent, could have had a cleaner floor but on the whole was fairly clean. The beds were very uncomfortable and we could feel every spring, the main downside, but the blackout curtains, soundproofed walls and quiet area made up for it. Good value for money (we had a discount through Hotels.com), just wish the beds could have been nicer!

decent hotel close to public transportation
Hotel is close to metro station, shopping, and tourist attractions. Rooms are clean but beds are really uncomfortable. Rooms have limited to NO wifi connection. Hotel staff is friendly but rarely around, reception desk sat empty 4 of 5 days I stayed there. I would not stay here again with all the other options available.

Awful
When we arrived we had to call to get somebody over there to check us in. The lady that I talked to on the phone had told me that she was gone for the day . I told her that was completely unacceptable that we had to check in. She then told me she was far away and it would be at least 4 hours and asked if that would be convenient. Obviously I said no we have all of our luggage and cannot sit on the steps for 4 more hours. Then she suddenly showed up 10 minutes later, so it was quite a fabricated story that they couldn't get over there to let us in our room. This is not an apartment. It is a very small bedroom with a very hard bed. Might as well have laid on the floor. Except for the fact that it was filthy. They had someone come in and clean daily however do not think that they cleaned anything other than pulled the sheets back up. We would throw dirty towels on the floor by the toilet and the cleaning person would hang the same dirty towels back up for us to use the next day. She did this 3 days in a row. It was extremely gross! Also in the description it said it had a separate living room, there is no living room! I have never stayed anywhere in the past that I would not Recommend! My suggestion would be for hotels.com to take this off of their list as it does not hold to their standards. Do not stay here you will be disappointed!

Hotel needs work
The location and service was great but the hotel needs work. The bed and pillows were not comfortable. The bed was very hard. The breakfast was terrible and a waste of money- it consisted of a bread in a bag, crackers and two juice boxes. You can not say breakfast is included without providing coffee!! The Internet did not reach our room and I had to sit by the front door. The plumbing was horrible. The hotel was clean and the service was very good but would not return to the guest house.

Struttura pulita, molto silenziosa e molto comoda (tra metro Lepanto e Ottaviano) a 10 minuti dalla Basilica di san Pietro. Diversi ristoranti e bar di buon livello nelle vicinanze. Gentilissima Maria Vittoria che ti accoglie con il sorriso e con tanti consigli utili. Peccato non ci sia la colazione e che il prezzo non sia proprio economico, ma vale comunque la pena. Torneremo.

Ho avuto il piacere di soggiornare alla Rovati Guesthouse durante la mia visita a Roma e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto dell’esperienza. La guesthouse si è rivelata sicura e silenziosa, offrendo un rifugio tranquillo dopo una giornata trascorsa a esplorare la città. La posizione è incredibilmente accessibile e comoda, situata a pochi minuti a piedi da Piazza San Pietro, il che ha reso facile raggiungere alcuni dei siti più iconici di Roma. La camera era pulita, ben arredata e dotata di tutti i comfort necessari per garantire un soggiorno piacevole. Il personale era cordiale e disponibile. Raccomando vivamente Rovati Guesthouse a chiunque cerchi un alloggio che coniughi comodità, accessibilità e tranquillità nel cuore di Roma.

２度目のローマに
久しぶりのローマ滞在でテルミニ駅付近の喧騒を避けたかったです。 ホテルというより民泊といった感じで、受付はいなく、チェックインはメールで建物の玄関待ち合わせが必要です。メールがきます。チェックイン時にホテル税を支払い、チェックアウトはカウンターに鍵を時間までに置き出ていく形です。 なので滞在中は建物とホテルと部屋の３つの鍵を持ち歩く形です。 一見建物は分かりませんが通り挟んで向かいがサルメリアというイタリアの惣菜屋（水等もあります）とレストランがあります。 通りの建物の入り口は１つしかないので、建物入口にあるインターホンの上の１３番の番号が目印です。 昼間は守衛が入口の脇にいます。（ここにホテルの表札はないです） 部屋自体は写真の通りイタリアのベーシックな感じで水回りは結構改装したてな感じです。ダブルベットがシングルを合わせたもので、テルミニ近くのホテルよりは４星くらい結構いい内装かと。 ＷＩＦＩもそれなりに快適です。朝食なしにしたので、買出しの食材とかあり冷蔵庫に結構ものが入り便利でした。 場所は地下鉄駅に近く、駅や駅近くに沢山バスルートがあり、ナヴォナやヴィットリオ広場までは簡単に出られます。一本裏の通りはローマっ子のショッピング街であったり、ヴァチカンには徒歩圏内ですし、静かで安全な環境です。 テルミニ周辺で９０００円以下くらいでいいホテルがなければ、若干不便ですがオススメです。 チェックインの問題があるので、旅慣れた方や夜遅い到着でない方に。
