Negatives. Shared bathing facilities, noisey and the bathroom was a bit grubby at times! The owner is very nice, for the money it was fine we would probably go to somewhere a bit nicer but if your on a tight budget it's very good I guess! If you can afford a bit nicer I would probably do that but this ticks the basic boxes and very close to the tube which gets you around!

We had a great time here, it's the perfect location for doing Rome - it's right next to a tube stop, or you can walk to to the Colosseum. Make sure the first time you venture into old Rome, you must walk it as seeing the Colosseum looming in the distance as you get near is a sight to see.

I have read reviews about this hotel that slate the breakfast, but I disagree - it's fine if you're into cereal and average criossants.

It's very clean and the rooms are spacious. What more could you ask for?

Stayed at Blackberry House for 4 nights. Like all the other guests have commented, breakfast is pretty bad: either packaged bread with some kind of syrup inside or chocolate pastries. Definitely not healthy for you to eat everyday. But there's different flavors of coffee and tea at the common area. Owner Barbara meets you when you check-in, and gives you some info about where to go and which bus to take. Bathroom is indeed clean, although it depends really on the hygiene routines of other guests. Bathtub is a bit small and narrow but there is a bidet. You will be given your own set of keys, but they're the traditional kind (a bit dodgy), so make sure you also lock your valuables before you head out. Location is central, about a minute walk from metro station Manzoni and 10 minute walk to the Colosseo. I am also a light sleeper so every time other guests come back late or there's a dog howling (because this B&B is within a compound of apartments), I wake up, so sleep has been interrupted. Overall, you get what you pay for: 60EUR a night in Rome with decent rooms and a central location is quite hard to find.

When you arrive at the front door it looks a little ominous and the rooms are pretty basic but hey, the location is great - just along from the metro, the owner is really nice and very helpful and the place is clean. What more do you need when crashing in Rome? Good value for money!
