Rome is a crazy, noisy city. I would recommend staying someplace that felt more like a refuge from the city. Although there were a lot of positives here, it was not a refuge for us.

We booked through [--]

Pros:
Location is good -- near the Coliseum metro stop so we walked by the Coliseum a lot! In retrospect, I would stay closer to the happening Trevi Fountain area the next time.

There are some good reasonably priced restaurants on the street.

The bed was comfortable, the room a decent size. The shared bathroom was large and it had a good shower by European standards with lots of hot water.

The breakfast was okay , a small start to the day-- coffe and tea, juice, packaged croissants and pies and toasts.

Our host was nice but did not speak much English and we think he recently started this business and is getting the kinks out.

Price was good.

Cons:
Noisy street, bring earplugs! Better quality windows... more
