I read the reviews of this B&B both here and on the hotel booking website I used and was initially enthusiastic about staying here. The rooms look very nice and the location is excellent.
On closer inspection - the jacuzzi showers don't work, the rooms smelled peculiar, there are weird blue & green lights (sensors) in the bedroom that make it difficult to get to sleep, there are not enough pillows and I don't think the blankets/quilts had been laundered for a long time. There is no soundproofing at all, so if you squeak the neighbouring rooms can hear you! There are no english tv channels at all.
The breakfast was a complete shambles, the woman on the reception was blatantly rude, ignoring everyone to talk on the phone (even when tables needed clearing).
She didn't tidy up the breakfast things and it appeared that once the croissants etc that had been bought for breakfast were finished, it was just bad luck, even if you arrive within breakfast hours. I don't think that the free coffee/juice and water make up for the exceptionally poor customer service that we experienced at this establishment.
Also, note that the price does not include a 'tourist tax' which we had to pay in cash - 12 euros for the 3 nights we were there. We have never been asked to pay this in Rome before or if we have it was included in the room rate.
