My husband and me stayed at Anne & Mary B&B on the recommendation of a friend and we're very happy to have discovered it. It's very centrally located on Via Cavour, which is not far from Station Termini and very close to the Colosseum. The cab ride from the station cost us roughly 8 euros with luggage.

This is truly a B&B and is run by a mother and daughter. The mom is called Anne-Mary and the daughter is Sylvia. It has 6 rooms which are of a fairly decent size and has really good sized bathrooms with a bathtub!! The furnishings were a bit heavy for our taste and therefore made the room very dark. But apart from that fact, the room was very comfortable. It overlooked Via Cavour and that could get a little noisy sometimes.
The rooms come with a heavy bunch of keys - since there are many doors to get through!! I did a test run to ensure I knew which key went where and wasn't locked out at night

Although the room had a TV, the only channels it seemed to play were teleshopping networks!!! That was a bit of a downer - would rather not have had a TV at all!

What made this feel like you were literally staying in someone's home, was breakfast, which is served in the family dining room. The spread was the best we saw during our entire stay in Italy!

The mother-daughter pair are very sweet and polite and Slyvia was very helpful with the questions we had. This was truly a great find in Rome and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We recently stayed at Anne & Mary's B&B in Rome and were fully satisfied. The location is great (really close to the coloseum and not too far from the train station and downtown core) despite being on a very busy boulevard. It is small, warm and inviting. Our room was spotless, nicely decorated and the air conditioner is very quiet (not extremely effective but did the job). Sylvia (we think Anne or Mary's daughter) was the only one who spoke English but the other two women tried their best and were very, very friendly.

The down side in our room was the shower. Both my husband and I had one cold shower during our five night stay. Seemed the temperature was...well, temperamental. Moreover, the size of the shower itself is TINY. If you're over 200lbs it might be pretty cramped or impossible to use altogether.

The other downside (which really wasn't that bad) was the breakfast table set-up. It was a little awkward sitting at a large breakfast table with multiple guests. Then again, we have little to no experience with B&B so maybe this is the norm.

Overall, we would definitely recommend this place. We didn't research many hotels in Rome so I cannot confirm if the price is reasonable but it seemed to be.

A great location, and I couldn't find much cheaper for Rome. You get a nice breakfast with the room. Tasteful decoration and a welcoming environment. We stayed here twice on our way to and back to the states, and on the second time we got a much nicer shower and bath in our room.

My fiance' and I stayed at the Anne&Mary for 2 nites in May 2005. The location was fairly central to most sites--15-20 minute walk to most places. We had a back room so noise was not an issue. But locating the b&b was difficult, as the only marking outside is a very small sign. The room we had was small but clean. Breakfast was very disappointing--yogurt, fruit, and pre-packaged bread--not what I expected for a B&B. Staff was cordial but not friendly and inviting. Overall it was okay but i'd try another place next time.
