“very pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2006
1
person found this review helpful

I would like to say that the Bed & Breakfast via delle Fornaci in Rome was a very convenient location, just steps away from the Vatican, very clean rooms. There are 4 double guest rooms available. We were 3 couples that stayed here. The manager Silvia was very pleasant and helpful with information.
I found the property through the Rome Bed and Breakfast Association on the internet and can highly recommend this website for anyone looking for a B&B in Rome. Correspondence was immediate when emails sent, all questions answered.

  • Liked — the convenient location, taxi stand near by
  • Disliked — street noise, one gets used to it
  • Tips/Secrets — the big plus for this property is the location
  • Stayed October 2006, travelled with friends

“Not a good surprise!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2006
1
person found this review helpful

When we first arrived, I was very displeased to see that the bathroom was not attached to the bedrooms! It is FALSE advertising on the website! Yes you have a private bathroom, but it's a walk down the hallway to get to it. Not an easy task at night! They did not give us refills on shampoo, soap nor did we ever receive new towels within our 5 day stay.
When we arrived, the co-worker, Bon was complaining that he waited around for us all day because he didn't know what time we were coming! Can you believe that! Sorry we didn't think adhear to your schedule Bon! Silly me, I thought it was my vacation! The next morning after our sad little in-room breakfast, I asked Bon when attractions were open, days of the week, times, etc...He had no idea. I think if you are in the hotel business you should obviously know the answers to common questions tourist might ask.
The day of our departure, our breakfast was brought to us an hour early...geez, talk about feeling unwanted and rushed! Our train didn't leave until 4 in the afternoon. We were planning on leaving our luggage and finishing up our sightseeing. But to our surprise WE COULD NOT LEAVE OUR LUGGAGE FOR A FEW HOURS! They refused to let us leave it in the hall way, a storage room, anywhere! An absolute NO! I was shocked! What hotel doesn't let you leave your luggage! This really wasn't a hotel, more like a junk motel to rest your head at night!
One plus, it was clean. I guess that should count for something.
I would never recommend this hotel to anyone!
IF YOU LIKE BAD SERVICE AND UNCONSIDERATE PEOPLE, this is the place for you. (I would not even recommend it to my worst enemy)

  • Liked — Nothing - That we left
  • Disliked — The horrible nightmare service in every aspect.
  • Tips/Secrets — Don't Go Here!

“Just a Place to Crash”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2005
2
people found this review helpful

A reasonably-priced room to crash in, kind of like a private room in a hostel. But not a true B&B. This is essentially an apartment with three bedrooms rented out.

PROS: The location is excellent if you want/need to be close to St. Peters, and the place is very clean, and the rooms are tastefully decorated.

CONS:
Little privacy--keep in mind the family (the owner, her mother, and now presumably her child as she was pregnant in June 2004 when we visited) share the apartment too, along with potentially 6+ guests.
The kitchen is the entranceway to the apartment and to the guest rooms, and even though the family has its own wing, they have to go through this kitchen regularly. Also bear in mind that the apartment is on the 4th floor and there's no lift.

Also no private bath. It is advertised on the web site that all three rooms have a private bath. We stayed in the room with the black-and-white scribbly-patterned bedding (if you look at the web site photos you'll which one we mean) and our "private" bathroom was outside of our room, across the common kitchen.

We were also told (and there are signs on the property to this effect) not to sit or linger in the common kitchen area past 9 am. This wasn't the sort of place where you could pop back in the afternoon to change or lounge around for an hour in between activities. I always felt like I was intruding and had to tiptoe around.
