Well placed, good value for money and the hotel manager and staff were just perfect and helpful. Strongly suggested. It is situated in one of the University areas of Rome so there's plenty of bars and restaurants. 10 minutes bus/tram from all the main attractions of Rome and only 10 minutes walk from Rome Termini Station. Strongly suggested!

My wife and I booked this at the last minute for a few days in Rome before our flight home. We were working on a pretty tight budget and this seems like a good balance of quality and value. It turns out the accommodations were amazing. The neighborhood looks a little sketchy with graffiti on the walls, but keep in mind this is near a university. We ended up staying in two rooms over three nights: both were freshly painted and extremely clean with air-conditioning, television, and a low priced mini-bar. The staff at the fornt desk were helpful in suggesting out the way places to eat and sites to visit. They even arranged an early morning taxi to the airport at a very reasonable price. The only downside is that the rooms can be small, so it is ideally suited for one person or couples traveling together. I wouldn't recommend it for families unless you book multiple rooms. The breakfast is pretty basis but fresh and a perfect start to the day: coffee, tea, pastries and yogurt. It was just enough to hold us over until a late lunch. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is my first time visting Roma, so when I was finding the way to San Lorenzo I found a bit too far away from the Termini. I had stayed there for 4 days. After 2 days, I found out there was a bus stop nearby (2 minutes walk, right at the back of the guest house I think). Several buses I found useful for me to travel in Roma. So I would say, if you can find that bus stop, the location of San Lorenzo is not bad.

Environment outside the guest house is good. There would be a gathering at night at the square nearby. I felt a bit scary at the frist night I passed by the square. But finally I found out young people gathered there were friendly and probably students in the Uni. Some bars are around the square. It is a good place for a few beers.

The room is small, but has all essentials. It`s clean and seems newly furbished. No formal place for breadfast. You may need to bring the breadfast into your room. Breadfast is self-served. Receptionist is very helpful, although she couldn`t speak well English but still keen giving us all the information.

All in all, this guest house is good. I will stay again for me next visit.

After a trek from termini station through graffiti covered streets and having endured the stale stench of urine on the street corners, we finally arrived at san lorenzo guest house.
The San Lorenzo guest house is clean,comfortable and modern, and somehow seemed out of place in this neighbourhood. I felt safe once inside the hotel doors!
The staff are very friendly, helpful and very approachable.
The neighbourhood is quite intimidating at night, and during the walk back to the hotel, we noticed a couple of used ?heroin syringes on the pavement!
If we were to recommend this hotel to fellow travellers, we would suggest it as a suitable hotel for young backpackers on a budget. However, purely due to the location of the hotel we would not return there.
