“Room without a view but absolutely spot on for location and comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2007

When we arrived at Aena's B&B we, like one of the other reviewers couldn't find it because the numbers nor the name of the B&B are clearly marked. We also thought the street looked a bit dodgey but as we were exhausted from our travel and this B&B was 5 minutes from Termini station (we arrived at Rome via coach from Ciampino airport) its location was a godsend.

We tried to contact Federica (the owner) by mobile phone before we arrived to make sure that someone would be there and; her cleaner was (we never got to meet Federica which was a shame). The cleaner buzzed the door open but never told us which floor we were in thus we waited downstairs in the hope she'd come down and help us with our luggage (she didn't). We buzzed again upstairs and she seemed a bit stroppy about this and asked us to come upstairs to the 4th floor. By this time we were a little peeved to say the least as the lift was the tiniest we've ever seen and smelt a bit odd.

However, she showed us into the entrance of the B&B and we have to state very very clearly that we were absolutely impressed by the decor and cleanliness. It was a little heaven.

We stayed from 21st to 22nd April 2007 and returned on 27th to 28th April. Each time we had a different room and both were extremely comfortable.

The comments about overlooking the inner courtyard of the building are fair comments made by a previous reviewer however this is quite normal for apartments in city locations. Considering where we were the apartments were very quiet.

The dining room is just as you come into the B&B and all around are the other B&B bedrooms. Thus when you come in you do have to consider the other people who maybe staying.

The breakfast was laid out the day before and it looked very nice except I'm not a great lover of the toast or that biscuit bread but nevertheless it was again laid out nicely and looked inviting.

All the comments in the guest book are excellent. We would stay hear again definitely and suggest you do too.

Happy holiday!!

“Wonderful B&B!”

We stayed this beautiful Bed and Breakfast for ten nights on our honeymoon! We loved it! Although the location is not one of the bests in Rome, the interior of this B&B is more than excellent. The owners are probably the nicest people we met in Rome and the rooms are soooo beautiful and clean. Breakfast was great: cereals, bread, yoghurt, juice and tea and coffee. We walked a lot and for that this B&B had a good locationing. And the men on the streets by night were nice overall! :)

  • Liked — The beautiful and clean interior!
  • Disliked — The location on a quiet street

“Nice place, horrible location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2006

We found it hard trying to find Aenea's B&B as there is just a door without a sign, which was frustrating as it was pouring down with rain at the time!

After finally finding the place and going up to the fourth floor in the smallest elevator I have ever seen, we were greeted warmly, shown the basics and given a map that would proove extremely helpful in the 4 days we were spending in Rome. Then we were left to our own devises as staff are only in the B&B when people are checking in and to clean every morning.

On the first morning we were woken up at 7am by someone buzzing on the intercom and as we were under instruction not to answer the door we left it. It must've been about 1/2 hour before the person went away much to the frustration of us!

The breakfast was basic with a range of cereals, teas, coffees and toast left to make ourselves which we liked.

The B&B is in a great location in terms of being near the Colloseum and Termini station, but the area is very 'rough' and I didn't feel that safe there. There was even someone sleeping in the lobby on a fold-away bed at some point! Most odd!

The room itself was clean and comfortable, although the view could've been better! We were staying in the white room which I had requested as I liked the look of it. The bed was very squeaky though and we could hear everything that was going on outside in the main area.

All in all I would say this is a great place to stay if you're on a budjet but not for any women travelling on their own!

  • Liked — The room and being left to our own devices.
  • Disliked — The area it was located
  • Tips/Secrets — Use the Metro. It's simple to use, cheap and convenient!

“Lovely interior, ugly exterior”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2006

My husband and I stayed in Aeneas B&B for 2 days. Our first reaction when we arrived and saw the street and building the B&B was in, was that of shock. Via Ratazzia is not the cleanest and/or prettiest of streets, with some very dodgy characters hanging about right on the front step. The B&B is on the 4th floor of a very delapidated building and the elevator is ancient. Entering the doors of Aeneas though, we were pleasantly surprised: we can't fault the inside: it was clean, modernly decorated and furnished with loveley four poster beds and had a self-service kitchen, fully equipped. Unfortunately, the view from our bedroom window was a shocker as well: it looks out on a courtyard with hundreds of other flats and apartments with washing hanging out to dry and smells and noises from other people's kitchens etc...not a pretty sight! But saying that, if you're in Rome, the idea is probably to spend most of your time sightseeing and being out and about though, so I guess the view and surroundings doen't matter that much. The plus point is that it's very conveniently situated near the Termini Train Station (walking distance). As I've said: the inside of Aeneas is lovely, but if you're in for an area with a bit more class and quality...don't go there. I would also not render the area safe for lone woman travellers.

“fine choice for B and B”

great service. nice hosts. very clean and modern renovated rooms in typical older building of Rome. Great location near train station and a short walk to restaurants and attractions. relatively quiet neighborhood but can be noisy during the day with the windows open. the price is right so you really cannot go wrong with this choice. ranks highly compared to most other B and B's of Rome.
