This B&B is located within a traditional apartment complex opposite Basilica Square and Rome's highest obelisk. Rooms are located on the first floor on each end of the building, with the reception on left (Staircase A).
Our room was very clean with multiple towels provided and a very comfy queen size bed (advertised as a double bed). The room was cleaned every day. It contained a fridge, wardrobe, split airconditioner and a well sized ensuite where everything worked well with steady hot water.
Your room view and the amount of noise depends on where you are placed in the building. We got room #9 which was facing a traditional italian courtyard which is part of the complex and it was dead silent at night apart from the emergency vehicle sirens that pass every so often. Other reviewers here were placed in rooms facing the square which gives you a fantastic view but with street noise that comes with it.
This B&B is located in a perfect location outside of the historial center. It's a 5 minute walk to the metro station for Line A which will take you straight to every major tourist attraction in Rome including Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Vatican City. The colosseum and the roman forum is a 10 minute walk in the other direction.
Given that the B&B is not in the historical center, you have the opportunity to avoid all the tourist trap restaurants. There is a spectacular Italian restaurant 2 minutes walk away from the hotel called "Merulana" where 3/4 of the clientele where Italian and yet the servers speak perfect English. We had the best pasta is ever had in our lives.
Our only negative is the breakfast. It's just prepackaged bread/sweets/cereal and milk/juices from the supermarket. However, the room quality and service more than makes up for it.
It was a fantastic experience. Don't hesitate to book if you're looking for the best budget hotel you can get that rivals the bigger chains (who really needs a business center?).
