“Strange”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2010

Positive:
frendly stuff
cheap
non-touristic area, but close both to Vatican and old city

Negative:
no internet - at all, neither WiFi nor stationare, the internet point nearby was closed at 20 :00
loud street - had an impression of having the main train station just under our window, and I even don't mention the garbage collectors or cars
breakfast is .. well... it would be overstatement to call it breakfast

“Excellent location, but over-priced and primitive.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2009

The location is excellent. In the heart of Trastevere's evening action (which makes it a bit of a noisy spot until late at night) and an easy walk across the Tiber to some of Rome's best attractions (Colosseum, Campo de Fiori market). The host, John Luca, was kind and helpful and even discounted my rate a bit from what he'd quoted on the phone.

That said, what I paid for the room, especially as a solo traveler, seemed quite expensive and over-priced for the quality of the room and breakfast. There was nothing that felt luxurious or even cozy about the room I stayed in on the first floor. The breakfast was self-serve, mostly packaged food, and some fruit, yogurt. The self-serve coffee machine didn't work well, and further held water in a reservoir, which made me wonder how old the water was and how long it was in there. i tried making the coffee, but it didn't taste particularly good. The building that the rooms are in is a bit grungy and also seems a bit sketchy. There is a great pizza place across the street called Dar Poeta.

I paid 70 Euro for the night. Granted, most everything I called in Trastevere was booked for that night. My guess is that when it is slower, they adjust the price to sell rooms. At least I would hope so.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, the provided computer with internet is slow. I had BBC in the room which was nice.

I stayed here because I was desperate for a place that night in Trastevere.

“Disappointed in Trastevere”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2008

This B&B is being run purely for easy profit and there is no welcome or personal attention. The proprietor was not in residence and the maid left in the afternoon. I had specifically booked a room with two beds, it even showed on the confirmation, but they had only prepared a room with one double bed. We had to wait while a room with bunk beds was prepared---very uncomfortable. In addition, the bathroom was NOT adjoining as stated on the reservation.
There was nothing fresh for breakfast, which we had to forage for ourselves, and the bedroom was stuffy and smelled. "Internet service" consisted of a very old computer on a desk in the tiny main room on a dial-up connection that rarely worked.
We were forced to pay more than we were told would be the amount due in order to be allowed to leave our suitcases for the morning so that we could come back and pick them up after going into the city. The East Asian woman who worked as a maid did not know the city and her Italian was poor so we could not get help finding the restaurant we knew from four years previously.
All in all, this was a miserable experience and very overpriced. I would not recommend it!!

  • Liked — could walk to central Trastevere and great restaurant we always visit
  • Disliked — what to choose? probably the horrible packaged chemicals left as "breakfast"
