The guesthouse was in a residential building which was really nice to be part of rather than a hotel. Room was okay size and bathroom very clean. However was always dark unless you opened shutter windows fully. Would recommend as a basc room to stay, nothing fancy and one step up from a hostel. Breakfast is some crackersa nd small juice containers and a prepacked croissant left in room.

Our biggest issue was we were due 15 euros change when we arrived and paid and although this is not a huge amount we were promised it would be left in our room 3 times and it never was so we were short changed this and brings up issue of honesty in the staff working there as we were left no way to contact and there is never anyone there. Does this happen to other guests too?

Great value for money considering where it is. Room was basic but very clean and modern. People couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful!
Well worth the 5 stars. Don't pay any more for a fancy hotel, stay here in a nice simple room, go out for breakfast and enjoy the sites!!!

I had stayed already at Via Duilio at it was already very good, clean and well located. This time I went for the beatification of John Paul II and stayed at the Rovati guest house at Piazza Cavour. Only 2-minute walk from Castello St. Angelo and 10-minute from Saint Peter.

Its big, renovated and tastefully-decorated rooms are amazing, a 4-star hotel room. The owner is really friendly and helpful. They make you feel at home.

No breakfast, but there is a Trattoria and a very nice cafe just in front of the guest house.

Our stay at the Rovati Guest House september 2010 was nothing but excellent .We were 20min walk from the Vatican , Shops and eatery's. BUT in Rome you most certainly need a metro pass!
The Rovati family was friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!!
