“Great owners, good non-touristy neighborhood, great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2011

B&B Bologna is really more like an apartment in a residential neighborhood, away from more "touristy" areas, but very convenient by bus or subway to anywhere in Rome. The owner, Daniella, and her daughter Micaela are every bit as wonderful as described in other reviews here, offering tips on how to get around Rome, recommendations for places in the local area to eat, and more.

We and our three teenage children stayed in a two room, two bath apartment that was on the same floor as the owner's apartment. It was spotlessly clean, and had a small kitchenette where breakfast was available. Other reviewers have complained about the breakfast, but we found it to be typical of what we've had in bed and breakfast places throughout Italy -- granola, packaged pastries, juices, milk, an assortment of teas, and brewed coffee -- and certainly adequate. There was also a fruitstand about 75 feet outside the front door of the building with a wide assortment of fresh fruit if you need more than that.

While we were there, the air conditioning in one of the rooms was not working properly -- it couldn't be repaired during the few days we were there. They apologized and without us even asking, brought in fans and reduced the room rate. Finally, the night before we left, Daniela brought in a note telling us that the local transit -- which we were planning to use to get to the train station the next morning -- was going to be on strike that day. Micaela volunteered to take all five of us, with our luggage, to the train station in her small car and wouldn't even accept any payment for doing so -- well above and beyond anything I would expect!

Bottom line: a clean, comfortable, reasonably-priced, friendly, convenient place to stay in Rome. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

“Great owners, good facilities and location, terrible breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2010

Nice place. Please improve this thing you call breakfast. Even for Italian breakfast this is nothing. We kept skipping it.

“Welcoming B&B with local charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2010

Comfortable guest house, convenient location and very reasonable prices for Rome. Daniella was absolutely lovely and really made our stay that more special. Pretty much on top of the metro and right outside a bus stop where you could get a bus at all hours to the centre of town.

“Our second stay at B&B Bologna was again a wonderful experience.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010

In July of 2009 we stayed here with our son, daughter-in- law and grandaughter. We shared the 2 rooms of the 3rd floor apartment and fell under the spell of Daniella and her fluent English speaking daughter, Micaela. There is a small elevator, but we tried to use the stairs in expiation for all the food we were enjoying. This year,2010, my husband and I (50 years married) stayed at B&B Bologna for 20 nights in September and October. We had a huge bedroom with shared balcony overlooking the Piazza and a private bathroom outside the door of our room, a very satisfactory arrangement as the other room in the apartment had a bath ensuite. We were the only guests for several of the nights, but when there were others, we rarely met them. Our bed was comfortable and the entire space was spotlessly clean for the entire stay. Since our stay was long, bed linens and towels were changed frequently. The breakfast included packaged pasteries, cheese, butter, jam and cereals, wonderful coffee and tea and fruit and vegetable juices. We carried our breakfast to the balcony on a tray and watched the neighborhood come awake. The flower lady set up her stall and used the water from the flowing faucet in the piazza in front of the Forno and Dolce shop where fresh bread was being sold. People hurried to the Metro, kids walked to school. The old lady in the apartment across the piazza aired her bedding on the sill and checked out the happenings on the piazza. At night whole families and couples walk around the Piazza, talking, shopping and just enjoying the air. The Metro is steps from the building, 3 stops from Termini. The 62 bus, which starts at the Piazza Bologna, is all you need for most of the tourist sights and the Vatican. The neighborhood has several fine restaurants and lots of more casual dining. We never had a poor meal. The supermarket sells fine wine at prices that made me wish I could fill my luggage with bottles. There are some fine shops, as well as modest shops all through the neighborhood. We heard mostly Italian spoken, since few tourists were in evidence. Daniella and Micaela were helpful with all the information you might need while exploring Rome. I had recommended this guesthouse to one of my students and her husband and they too were very satisfied. We hope to return in a few years, it feels like a home in Rome.

“Great location, enthoustiastic owner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

The lady speaks a little English and her daughter speaks it well. There is a room with a bathroom and rooms with share bathrooms. The owner is fantastic and very willing to help you! The location is perfect for visiting Rome, the subway takes you with three stops to Termini station and the centre of Rome.
