Room basic but clean and comfortable. Good value for Rome. En-suite bathroom worth paying extra for. Room and bathroom cleaned and made up every day. Main negative is traffic noise particularly after 6 in the morning rush hour. The window is old and pooly fitting. Would make a huge difference fitting new aluminium sealed glazing. Kitchen advertised was out of action.
Breakfast at bar nearby was frugal but typical.
Area very convenient for Ottaviana Metro and 23 bus which gets you to close to Trastevere for restaurants or near enough to the Storico. Nearby restaurant not to miss Bella Napoli ( http://www.ristorantebellanapoli.it/ ) on Via Simone de Saint Bon (1st left before Metro walk 4 blocks.

We stayed at SecretRome in October '10 and were pleased with the way this place was kept. It is very clean, comfortable and safe. Olga did a very good job maintaining it daily. We did not have any problems on arrival as Olga contacted us in advance via e-mail and arranged to meet & greet us. Information on hotel web site is accurate and reliable. We booked hotel through Expedia. Place is very professionally run.
Location is convenient as metro station is 100m away from apartment, and Vatican is just around the corner.
The only suggestion would be to somewhat expand on breakfast choices. Breakfast was very basic to say the least.
We would definitely recommend this place to fellow travelers.

we stayed at secretrome for 2 nights and had 2 double rooms with shared bathroom. the accomodation is actualy an apartment with 4 rooms(i think), 2 bathrooms and 1 kitchen. it's clean, big enough, with nice furniture, located in a quiet building and a very safe area. Paola, the administrator, is very nice and will help you with directions, recommandations etc. the breakfast was a croissant and coffe/cappucino/latte.. we had breakfast just once, the second time we prefered "Feliziani" bakery which is just 2 minutes away, as you exit the B&B to your left. it's a great place to eat (specially the sweets, they're to die for) and very very affordable. the best thing about secretrome has got to be the location! safe area, connected by metro Ottaviano to all the great turist attraction and just 5 minutes away from the vatican. the cab from fiumicino airport was 45 euros, a good fare for 4 people. the olympic stadium is at 15 min by bus ride or 45 minutes by foot, a good thing if you want to catch a concert or a game. to sum up: excellent location, value for the money, confortable place for a nice trip to rome!

Really great value for money, an excellent choice of B&B, was initially worried about booking a shared bathroom, but host Paola was always cleaning bathroom and there was never a queue for the toilet. Rooms were an excellent size and always clean. Would have been nice to have a change of towels, but manageable as stayed only five nights, and therefore didnt see the need to ask for them. Checked in by Paola's friend Marchello, who was also very lovely and extremely helpful, both were very accomodating and ready to advise in local areas of interest. Breakfast at local cafe was basic but really pleasant, as it meant you get to eat outside at a very Italian style cafe, which we both enjoyed. Really felt at home throughout stay, thank you again Paola x
