Plus points: If you want to stay somewhere basic with a bed and shower, Gioia B & B is the place to stay. It's location in relation to Metro (2mins) Colosseum (10mins walking) was excellent and we found it very easily thanks to directons provided by B & B and 2 photo's of the outside door provided by previous guests.... more

I've just returned from a weekend in Rome and stayed at the Gioia. I agree that the building is nothing to look at from the front but it's a house in a residential area rather than a top of the range hotel so this really isn't a problem. The rooms are large and clean, we had a double room and... more

We stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday. The hotel is nothing to look at when you enter, BUT the family room we had was great, clean and bright, with a spacious bathroom. Breakfast was good, served in the garden. The garden is great, we used to relax in the garden with a bottle of wine... more

The hotel had a great location. It was a few block from Manzoni metro station. As for the room, we had a big room with balcony. The room was clean. My parents and I , liked the garden very much. In the evenings, we sat there for a few drink. Sometimes, we even made a take away that we brought... more

My boyfriend and i stayed at this hotel for 6 nights. It was perfect, the rooms are huge and cleaned everyday they also have air conditioning which is perfect for at night.

On arrival at the bed and breakfast we were greeted outside to be told that there was a problem with the hot water and we were being moved to somewhere else. We expected another bed and breakfast but we got put in a residential block10 minutes away. This was very noisey, very small, no hot water, they just left us... more

As others have noted, this B&B can be a bit difficult to locate. The only sign on the street is a tiny "Gioa B&B" on the buzzer list at number 20 (see photo). I am pretty sure the review that says this is a brothel walked into the wrong place, because this seemed to be a proper family friendly place.... more

I have just spent a week in this lovely B&B with my Girlfriend. We loved it, the rooms are excellent. We were overlooking the garden where you have breakfast, which again is above and beyond what we were expecting for £40 a night. The metro is literally 1 minutes walk away and has just been re-opened so is nice and... more
