“Dissapointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

Sweet Alice Roma was a disapointment. We booked the following: Hotel near Termini, 24 hour reception, Lift to all floors, DVD/Tv, Continental breakfast included.
However, as we discovered it is in fact serviced apartments with breakfast. To check-in you have to go to a restaurant down the street and are asked to pay in advance. The rooms are very pretty and comfortable, however there is no 24 hour reception, breakfast is provided in your room, with anything requiring a fridge to be found in the shared kitchen. We found that unless we got there before the other guests in the morning, there was nothing left. Once we started getting up at 8am everything was fine. Another thing to take into account is the ageing lift, of the 7 days we were there it broke down on 4 of them and the apartments are on the 5th floor!
Cleaning was ok, just don't look under the bed.
When we mentioned our disapointment to the owner, he just smiled and said sorry.

“Absolutely WONDERFUL!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2009

Sweet Alice is a fabulous place! I stayed twice, once for 6 nights and once for 1 night. It's a Bed and Breakfast, but it's basically like renting an apartment. You'll have your own room with strong A/C, a very clean little private bathroom, and there's an espresso maker and little kitchen that's shared outside the rooms. THere are only 4 rooms, and it takes up one side of a floor of an apartment building, so you really feel as if you have the place to yourself, and the price is VERY reasonable, especially for Rome, which I found exorbitant in general. I paid 35 euro a night for a single person. Roberto and Barbara aren't there all the time, but they stop in daily to check on things, and they have a cleaning staff come in every day around noon to take the sheets and clean. Breakfast is self served, there's the espresso maker, tea, croissants, yohurt in the fridge, etc. One of the great things about Sweet Alice is that they let me keep my huge suitcase there while I went to Greece for a week, which saved me from lugging that thing around. I was REALLY appreciative of that. I would absolutely recommend Sweet Alice to anyone who's a self sufficient traveller, likes to have a clean, quiet place to stay without any bother from staff, and likes to come and go as you please.

Other cool things are that it's a mere 3 blocks each way to both the main Termini train station as well as the subway stop. EXTREMELY convenient. Someone previously warned me that the area surrounding Termini was a bit more dangerous than elsewhere, but other than a few overly friendly people saying hello on the street (maybe one or two catcalls, but come on, it IS Italy after all) I wasn't bothered at all, even when walking home at 2 a.m. The only thing you'll notice is that if you're walking down Via Principe Amadeo, it'll turn from very touristy hotels into a less clean, obviously immigrant neighborhood, about two blocks away from the B & B. Don't let this fool you. A) Immigrants are cool, as they really WANT to be there ( I've lived in immigrant neighborhoods half my life) and B) The building Sweet Alice is in and very clean, secure, and all that. Highly recommended! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Roma!

Have a great time, and tell them Sara from the US recoommended you! I LOVE Sweeet Alice and will be back any time I go to Rome.

“Enjoyed my stay - this is a hotel with a difference.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2009

I only stayed one night, but would have been happy to stay longer. This hotel is different because most of the time staff aren't around, so it's more like a flat share, especially as it is a converted appartment. Staff were friendly when I arrive and the room was clean.

The kitchen was very useful and I bought some food from the market very near by. You also get to make yourself an espresso in the morning and the fridge has some things like yoghurt to eat or to store your own food and drink.

The location is good as it is near the Termini Station and the Metro. It is a bit shabby in this area, but you go off to do your sightseeing.

I'm after value for money and in my oppinion this was. The booking was made through romeby.com.
