My partner and I arrived at Roman Italian after a very long journey overnight from the south of england. Although we couldn't quite find the entrance at first (Note- you need to ring the buzzer for Roman Italian by the big gold doors next to the steps to Manzoni metro station) once we were in we were warmly welcomed. Although the owner did not speak much English, we were shown our rooms, and given details of times for breakfast (fresh coffee and delicious fresh croissants) and after filling out a small form with our names etc, and left for a nap before exploring. We were aware Rome was small, but we were so surprised to find how close we could walk to everywhere, and Roman Italian was trully the perfect base as you could walk everywhere for for the Vatican, the metro was on our door stop! We were asked if we wanted our room cleaned and asked to leave the room unlocked if we did. We didnt do this however, as there was no safety depoisit box, and were carrying cash. As for sleeping, Rome is a noisy city, but the windows are double glased and as long as they are closed overnight the noise was not a problem, even my light sleeper fiance (who proposed in Rome!) slept fine with some ear plugs.
I can safely say that when I return to Rome, Roman Italian will be the first place I look to stay! Its the home of my Roman Holiday!
