“Clean, quiet, convenient, secure, affordable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2010

We just got back from a great week in Rome, and one of the many reasons was Il Capitello. The location is great for a short walk to St. Peter's Square and to many restaurants and shops. The room was clean and perfectly adequate for our needs, a comfortable place to sleep and have a quick, no-frills breakfast before heading out for the day. Bed was a bit hard but we were usually so tired it didn't matter. We felt quite safe at Il Capitello; its three rooms are on the second floor and are well-secured behind interior and exterior sets of doors. (It took us a few days to master the locks-and-keys procedure but that was all part of the fun.) Service was pleasant but hands-off; after breakfast time you are mostly on your own. TV was basic. We'd definitely go back to Il Capitello.

“Great find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2009

My husband and I stayed at Il Capitello for 4 nights on our Italy honeymoon. The room was small, however very clean. It had a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a television. The B & B is in a great location, very close to the Vatican. An endless array of yummy restaurants are within walking distance, as well. Additionally, the Metro station is very close and was a great way to get around the very large city. Breakfast was provided every morning, however was very minimal compared to the other B & B's we stayed. Overall, I would recommend the B & B to anyone traveling to Rome.

“Nice quiet location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2008

My husband and I stayed there for 5 nights. The B&B is conveniently located for sightseeing. Everything was kept clean and above expectation. The owner was available sometimes in the morning if you had any questions and how to get to places but we were pretty much left to come and go as we pleased. It was close to the Vatican and metro/bus stations so that was a big plus for us. I would definitely recommend this place as it was quiet, restaurants within walking distance and safe to go walking.

  • Liked — clean room, within easy reach for most tourist attractions
  • Disliked — breakfast was very basic and the same everyday

“Brilliant Base to Explore Rome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2007

Il Capitello in Rome was spotlessly clean, we had room number 3 which was large with a king size bed, great shower and air conditioning. The furnishings are lovely and the small breakfast room was great. There are only three rooms and a lady comes in every morning to lay out the breakfast which was continental breakfast of fruit cereals bread and tea or coffee, it was fine. On our leaving day we had an early departure and everything was left for us to help ourselves to breakfast before we left. The location was great it was a very quiet street it felt very safe and had a couple of nice reasonably priced trattorias, it was within easy walking distance to the vatican and St Peters Basillica, can thoroughly recommend it.

“Terrific B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Il Capitello is a wonderful B&B two blocks from the Vatican. Up one flight of stairs (elevator if needed) you feel as though you are coming home to your own apartment each evening. There are only three guest rooms, and a charming kitchen for breakfast, toast, coffee/tea and all the cereal and juice you want.
Do be sure call the proprietor when you arrive in Rome and somebody will be there to greet you and give you your keys. Less than five minute walk to the metro.
It was 90 degrees when we stayed, so the airconditioning was a blessing. Bathroom was very clean, as was everything else.
Loads of pizzarias and restaurants nearby, but no little corner shops for milk, bottled water, juice or biscuits.
