“Lovely room, clean and very convenient.... a few tips!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2009

Whilst some of the comments have been less than flattering my girlfriend and I found the place to be great. Michele was very helpful upon arrival and was more than happy to sit down and avail us of good restaurants locally and provide information about transport.

TIP: Book room nine - the one with the red wall (this was the one I had seen on Arke webiste prior to booking) it is the only room with a balcony and has a private ensuite. As far as i know the other rooms utilise a shared bathroom.

As for getting there, it is a bit far from the Termini but all you have to do is get bus 64 from outside the terminal. 2nd last stop and you are there. Buses run all the time, so getting back in to town is very easy from one street down.

Also whilst it was not mentioned in guides that I had seen there is a pizzeria across diagnally from the main road called Pizzeria Goose - I am not lying when i say that the pasta meals we had at this restaurant far surpassed anything else we ate in Rome, and i am pretty anal about my food.

Also Rome is loud and very busy - was lovely returning to this place at the end of the day and having peaceful rest.

Thanks Michele, Milly and I loved it.

Steve.

“strange but godd value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2005

ok, the price was good, only 79 euros a night, and the location was excellent, near bus stations, vatican and st. peters on a quiet side street. not very close to the metro though.
the room, was ok, clean, large, but what was supposed to be 2 beds turned out to be 1 double bed, and 1 tiny cot. there is a private bathroom and tv.
was not really a hotel, but some rooms in an apartment in the third floor of an apartment building. no elevator, and no front desk clerk. while rolls and coffee were supplied, we had to go to the kitchen and make our own coffee.
for the price, i would probably stay there again, but i warn this, it is pretty bare bones.

“Small B&B, very close to Vatican”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2004

people found this review helpful

We rented a triple room from Arke B&B for 110 Euros.

We found the B&B through another B&B that was full and referred us to Arke. The B&B is located about 10-15 min walk from St. Peter's Cathedral on a quiet side street. The B&B is on the third floor of the building which has a tiny elevator. It’s about a five min walk from the metro station and close to bus stations. Rooms were nice size with small table and chairs and attached bathroom (One bathroom is across the hall). The apartment was recently renovated and the bathrooms were clean and modern. Breakfast consisted of prepackaged croissants and toast and there was a kitchen available with eggs, butter, cheese, milk and juice. We supplemented by visiting a bakery that was around the corner and got fresh baked rolls.

The apartment is not normally occupied by the owners so you’ll need to make arrangements for them to be there when you arrive. The only downside in the apartment was that the walls are pretty thin, so even though the area was quiet, we did get to hear every conversation going on in the apartment itself.
