“Away From the Tourists”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2007

We stayed at this b&b for 3 nights in late July. Roman Walls is located slightly outside the main touristy part of Rome about a 10 min walk from the San Giovanni metro stop. It was a little difficult to find this place because there is construction going on in the road in front. However, we liked that the area of the city wasn't as crowded and it was only about a 20 min walk to the Colesseum. The owners were very friendly and they served us breakfast in our room daily which consisted of some buns, croissants, toast, juice and a pot of coffee. We liked the ambience of the building - we felt like we really were in an Italian home. It was good that there was a little kitchen where you could keep food/drinks in the fridge and use the plates etc. The shared bathroom was clean and there was always hot water; however, you had to climb over a big ledge to get into the shower. Anyone with mobility problems might have trouble getting in and out. The main drawback of the hotel was the noise. Being in Rome in July it is HOT!! We had to open the window at night to bring in a breeze however, being close to a hospital we heard sirens all night which kept us from sleeping well. There was a fan in the room but you needed the window open too. Overall, we would return here but not during the hottest months.

“Dont go!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2007

We stayed at this B&B recently for a few days, at the end of June.

We should have known when we arrived, having called to advise that we would be late and assured this wouldnt be a problem, we then had to sit on the street step waiting for the owner to get back from the pub. The road by the way is currently a building site.

While the owners are lovely, it does not make up for the stink of smoke (and I smoke!), the lack of air conditioning, towels the size of napkins, lack of fans, beds falling apart and the owner smoking in the shared bathroom.

What really annoyed us was that when we complained about all the smoking and lack of fans (in 39 degrees!) they were absolutely unhelpful. The owners dont speak English and if you need to communicate with them you go through their son. When we tried to speak with him, he said he would speak with his parents and get back to us - he then did not return the call and avoided all of ours. Charming.

We came back exhausted as we really hadnt been able to sleep, with the worry that the bed would collapse, the incredible heat and the stink.

I definitely wouldnt advise it.
