What was good about it:
- It had a bed
- No bugs
- 20 minute walk to the Colosseum
- "Breakfast" delivered to your room
- Washrooms were kept fairly clean
What was bad about it:
- The bed sunk in whenever you sat or slept on it.
- The sink faucet in the washroom would pour out water onto the floor from where it connects to the sink whenever you turned it on.
- General decor reminded you of a 70's hotel
- The mini fridge was broken and smelt bad
- T.V didn't work
- Breakfast could barely be considered continental. It consisted of warm juice, stale packaged croissant, packaged crunchy toast, American coffee = Large espresso watered down, Tea = Chamomile
- Table cloth and walls had stains

It's an apartment someone converted into a "B&B" because they can't be called a hotel since it only has 3 rooms and to make the bare minimum as a B&B they do the absolute bare minimum. The only reason the breakfast is brought to your room is because the kitchen can only hold two people at a time. The 3 rooms are all beside each other at the end of a hall resulting in you hearing your neighbours every move and I'm sure better places could be found on a similar budget.

Overall, only book if it's your last choice.

This B&B was a standard stay. It is not an "upscale" stay but the room is clean and the staff is very friendly. For breakfast you get an espresso, croissant, packaged toast, nutella, and bread. The location is a good as there is a metro stop right around the corner. The man in charge gave us a refund for a night because we took a side trip to Florence. However, the refund he gave us was only 1/3 of the price we paid for the night because he said that the website we booked through takes a cut -- I would recommend always booking through the b&b directly rather than use the booking websites. He also failed to refund us the service charge and VAT for the night and when we tried to explain that to him he didn't understand what we were saying. Overall, I think this is a good place to stay - very functional, but if you're looking for something nice and cozy or a place to hang out, then this is not the b&b for you.

The ariosto B&B is very close to the centre in a good area. The rooms are very clean and the hosts are very helpful and are caring for their guests in a very sweet way. I was surprised how cheap it was, you get very much for this great price. I would visit this place again and recommend it, it was great!

In April my husband, my in-laws and I stayed at B&B Ariosto for a couple of nights. It was our first time in Rome and I had been in charge of booking the accommodation. It's really hard to find a decent priced B&B in Rome and even harder to find a clean place (we also stayed at another place in a different part of town and it was a rip off and very dirty). B&B Ariosto was great and only 15 mins walk from the Colosseum. Super clean bathrooms (yes, there are 2 not 1) and big rooms. Breakfast wasn't great but that is because Italians don't eat breakfast. Besides there are so many places to stop and grab a bite to eat while walking around the city (which we LOVED). The hosts are really nice and helpful. They stored our luggage for the day once we had checked out. The place is very secure and safe.
The downsides: it's hard to find (from the Colosseum direction make a left onto Via Ariosto and it's the first apartment building on the right - you need to check the buzzer for B&B Ariosto as there are no signs) and the top blanket on our beds (there was no top sheet) was dirty from previous guests (I'm sure if it bothers people they will give you another sheet...).
If you can get over those 2 minor details definitely stay here.
