“Would have been good if not for the unhelpful host”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Booked this B&B after reading some great reviews on the tripadvisor. Overall the B&B is ok, spacious and clean room. 5-8mins walk to the nearest station, and about 20-25mins walk to Colosseum, there's a Macdonald's nearby about 5-10mins walk.

Cons:
Was told to approach them if we ever needed any help, but was faced with an unhelpful couple instead. The wireless extender on the 6th floor was obviously not working, and host just claimed he do not know anything, and refused to assist in resolving the issue. The wife was exceptionally rude too.
Compared to other B&B I stayed which the host was fantastic, this is disappointing.

Was there in winter, but heater in room worked only till 11pm at night. Did not have any aircon in room too so would probably not be comfortable in summer I guess.

Will not come back here again.

“Nice stay, a little loud”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2010

Two families traveling together, total 4 adults and 4 teens. We stayed 3 nights at the B&B. Easy walk from the Metro station, maybe a 5 minute walk once you know where your going. The B&B is located in an apartment building which has a buzzer intercom system to be let in (you get your own key once you check in for the main door). We had the whole apartment to ourselves since we were a large group and this worked out fabulously. The balcony was very nice but unfortunately it was too cold for us to use it. The apartment was very nice, small kitchen and bathrooms but that is normal for Europe. There is an expresso machine, toaster oven, microwave, refrig. and oven along with all the utensils, plates, cups, etc. Water, juice, milk, cereal and packaged pastries are provided. The owner will bring up a small plate of fresh pastries every day. Unfortuantely we were always leaving for the day of sightseeing when these were brought up so we ate them in the evening upon our return.

My only complaint, and this isn't the owners fault really, is that we only had one good night sleep. The first night we were woken up about 11 p.m. by someone ringing our doorbell (this person was inside the building and actually at the apt. door). We didn't open the door but tried to speak to him thru the door. He was saying something about being "Official" and the rest was in italian. After he rang the doorbell for about 2-3 minutes and yelling at us he left and never returned. At midnight we woken up again by our doorbell ringing and there are two young English speaking girls at the door looking for the owner of the B&B.

Third night of our stay and there is a lady outside the building ringing every buzzer and yelling "Please let me in". This continued from 3-3:30 a.m.

All in all a great place to stay for the cost and I would recommend it especially for groups because they can all stay in one place.

“Excellent place to stay, great people.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2010

Much better than expected. The three rooms each have an entrance to a beautiful terrace, there are two baths which have everything you need: shampoo, shower gel, etc. Very clean. Unlimited coffee and sweets. Breakfast with fresh cornetti from a local bakery. Very friendly people. Signor Vittorio knows and has everything, even bus tickets ready for you and free city maps. Would recommend to anyone, even with kids. Quiet area. Very close to bus 87, which takes you to the Colosseum, and 3-5 min walk to metro station San Giovanni.

“Good accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2010

We spent 2 nights in the triple room, 3 adult and one child of six year old. The room was good, clean, and it was about 400 m from subway station, San Giovani. We stayed at "Home for holiday", at 6 floor. This B&B have 3 rooms, 2 bathroom (1 smaller and 1 bigger bathroom) a kitchen and a shared terrace to the three rooms.
Mr. Vittorio was very friendly, we had water, croissant, some sweets, bread, milk, coffee, tea...and fully use of the kitchen. He put for us a baby cot in the room free of charge, and merge two bed.
The only bad thing, was the little bathroom which needed some renovation.
