We ended up having 2 rooms as the quad was booked. Comfortable rooms although an extra pillow and blanket would have been nice.Rooms were very clean, showers are small!! Breakfast ok, we brought along peanut butter, which helped with our toast in the mornings, the fresh fruit was not exactly fresh, cereal and some kind of tart and bundt cake... More

Alitalia lost our luggage soon as we arrived in Rome, the guys at the counter called on our behalf every day, sometimes waiting for half an hour on the phone as the airline customer service was terrible. The food recommendations, the out of the way courtesy, the great looking clean and spacious rooms and the absolutely amazing location (5 minutes... More

Our family stayed at Ancient Romance B&B for 4 nights in May. I don't know whether the positive reviews set the bar too high, but we were underwhelmed by this B&B. We had two rooms on 5th and 6th floors both facing Via Ottaviano. The location is pretty good. It's very near Vatican and only a couple of blocks to... More

We are always very proud to receive reviews with compliments and annotations with amendable aspects, because our hosting service can be improved just thanks to our guest thoughts. We are sorry to read this wonderful and friendly family did not find what they expected, but reading what they have written we are anyway glad to take the good things, trying... More

Coming off a cruise ship in Rome, my wife and I along with another family member decided to stay at a B&B instead of a hotel. It was a great decision. Ancient Romance B&B is located within a five minute walk of the Vatican and a one minute walk to the Metro station. Georgio, the B&B manager, and the Ancient... More

We had absolutely no complaints about our stay in Ancient romance B&B. We were met by an arranged driver by the staff at the B&B who for a very reasonable fee drive us directly to our hotel. I can't say enough about the staff at the B&B. So kind and helpful!!! Our room was very very clean and maid service... More

During the Summer of 2010, three friends (all in our 20's) and I, stayed at the Ancient Romance Hotel/apartment for 4 nights. Arriving from the main train station, it was easy to find the metro line that took us within a block of the hotel. (Via Ottaviano, I believe this is the Tram station name to get off at). It... More

It is no mistake that I have given this place straight 5's. After using the transfer service offered by Ancient Romance (slightly cheaper than a taxi from FCO), we arrived to this nice apartment building just one block from the wall of Vatican city. I was greeted AT THE LIFT by one of the young guys that runs the place.... More
