Mecenate Rooms is very well situated, a short walk from the Roman Forum and Colesseum, as well as from the Metro lines (A and B). Breakfast is served in true Italian style in a cafe across the road and there are lovely restaurants and grocery stores just up the road. The room is unfortunately VERY noisy, (there is a scooter parking area directly outside the window) and we weren’t able to sleep without earplugs. Our room was spacious, with free wifi and a well functioning air-con. We had some small problems with our room (the bath plug, leaking shower), which took quite a while to sort out, and only saw our hosts twice very briefly in our five day stay. This really is a ‘lock up and go’ style accommodation and wouldn’t really suit you if you were looking for regular assistance and contact with the hosts. I would also recommend getting the taxi that can be arranged for you to get to the B&B from the airport. (Our taxi driver arrived an hour late without any explanation, which was tricky with this being our first visit to Italy). All and all a good stay (after we got the earplugs :) ).

This accommodation with it's four rooms, has a laid back atmosphere feel and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood and conveniently located in order to see all the wonderful sights of Rome. The staff was very helpful with dinner suggestions and transportation needs. The room was very roomy and comfortable and the air conditioner worked fabulously! The only drawback to the room was the tub/shower...because of poor design it was tricky to take a shower and not get water all over the floor...we had the Virgilio room, so inquire about the shower situation for the other rooms before picking this one. Note..if you are a high maintenance traveler, this is not a recommendation for you...however, if you love to spend time sightseeing and experiencing Rome as we did, coming back to our room felt like a comfortable, spacious apartment...and let me emulate how wonderful and warm the staff was and we could call Marta or Camilla day or night with questions or concerns. We highly recommend you to ask the staff to arrange your transportation to and from the airport, it was a necessity and worked out wonderfully for us. The best part about this accommodation is the fact that you can come and go with no hassle. You will have a key to the main building and a card key to the entrance to the foyer to your room, so you feel very secure and private.

This B&B is in a great location, especially if you enjoy walking. The Colosseum is literally a 5 minute walk away. Other famous sights are a bit further afield, but we used a combination of walking and the metro to get around (metro stops for both lines A and B are 10-15 mins walk). This is a pleasant residential neighbourhood of Rome, and there are a number of excellent restaurants within walking distance (especially Trattoria Monti - this place deserves its accolades, we ate there twice!)

The lovely young ladies who run the B&B were so helpful during our stay. They gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and helped us find a self-service laundromat - not many of these in Rome, but there is one near the main train station.

The room was a good size, felt very homely. Breakfast was at the local cafe across the street - coffee and pastry - we found the small breakfast was all we needed after eating out each night. Mecenate Rooms is very affordable (especially by Rome standards) and I felt we got really good value for money staying here. Also had free wifi.

My husband and I were here in April and had a wonderful stay. The rooms were very big especially by European standards. They were clean and there was also free wi-fi in the rooms as an unexpected bonus. Also the staff was very nice and helpful. Camilla and Marta were great. And the location cannot be beat! We would walk out into the park every evening and look over the beautiful view of the Colosseum. And we were very close to the metro station which made it easy to get over to the Vatican and to the train station. The surrounding area was very nice. I would definitely recommend this B&B.
