“A little jewel box by the Vatican”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

Not all b&bs have the touch of an artist/interior designer so Katja's is certainly special in that restpect. It is a lovely apartment filled with interesting things, you feel like you're living in a live scrapbook, walking admist someone's best happy memories. The rooms are small and have no television nor en suite bathroom but the other elements more than make up for these.
As others have already written, Gianluca's breakfasts are fantastic. They vary slightly each morning so you don't get bored. I love the extra touches that make it so special - they even change the table cloths and the designs are always so happy and cheery. And of course what a treat to have enough left over each time to make sandwiches to take with you for the day.
The place is just across the street from the Vatican and I felt it was such a luxury to be able to pop over there anytime to roam the courtyard, meet friends, or just sit and peoplewatch. Transport is easy with bus 64 - the pickpocket bus as guidebooks say, but if you're careful nothing to worry about at all. I rode it several times with no incident. Also if you're a walker, you can cross the river into the heart of the city easily too.

“Katja's - Just Perfect For Me!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2010
3
people found this review helpful

As a solo traveller, I love Katja's. Gianluca is the perfect host, from the welcoming drink, explaining Rome or his fantastic breakfasts (with extra provided for sandwiches). I am a big guy so I can find the size of the bathroom/shower a challenge but that is a minor issue for me.
Location can't be beat and value for money is spot on. And it feels a real safe area so you can walk around confidently. It is the second time I have been welcomed by Gianluca and I will be back there in November.

“Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2010

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights during our visit to Rome. We couldn't have asked for more welcoming or delightful accommodations. We stayed in the double room with bunk beds--perfect for the budget traveler. The B&B was very clean and cozy. Breakfast was AMAZING! Way beyond our expectations. We had enough leftover from breakfast to take for a light lunch each day which was also a plus! The proximity of this hotel to the Vatican is unbeatable. It is a bit far out from the other major sights in Rome, but with the bus transportation and stop practically at our doorstep, we did not find the location off-putting at all. I would highly recommend this B&B. The owners couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

“Excellent host and location, would definately stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

Excellent location right on the door step of the Vatican and within walking distance of all Rome's amazing sights. We had a very comfortable four night stay, although room quite small this didn't matter as we were out all day. We were made very welcome and on arrival we got slightly lost and Gianluca came and found us!! Breakfast was excellent and would definately recommend a stay at Katjas.

“Great host, wonderful food, fabulous location!!”

Gianluca was a gracious and accommodating host. My son (twenty one) and I stayed in the room with bunk beds. Although small, it was very comfortable. The food was amazing. The location is ideal - close to the train station and a short walk to the Vatican. The neighborhood is safe with lots of restaurants. I highly recommend this B&B. Thank you Gianluca for a wonderful time in Roma!
