“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.

“A great bargain for Rome accomodations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2010

The family that owns the B&B is incredibly kind and they run a great operation. The B&B is basically a large apartment in a nice building in a nice, more "local" kind of neighborhood. You're a 20 second walk to the nearest metro stop (Bologna), and you can be at almost any of the major sights in Rome within 20-30 minutes including walk time.

Our room was gigantic! On a couple of nights, we were the only people in the apartment, but even when we had neighbors, it was nice. There is a full bath and a half bath that all of the rooms share, but it's not really much of a problem. The small kitchen is plenty for cooking simple meals or simply storing some snacks or drinks. The morning breakfast spread is pretty nice with plenty of hot coffee, milk, juice (try the Ace!), and pastries.

If you have a choice, try to get a room toward the front door, because the WiFi signal is very weak toward the back of the apartment. We would just sit in the hall by the door if we really needed to use the computer, but when you're in Rome there are a million better things to do, so it wasn't a huge deal.

I'd certainly stay here again, even if cost were no object. It's certainly basic, but very comfortable and perfectly located. There are a number of good restaurants in the immediate area that the daughter will tell you about, and they are all good. The pizza shop across the street sells good pizza for an incredible deal. Also, the supermarket (Sma) down the street is well-stocked for all your needs.

“No need to look anywhere else.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2010

If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Rome, you have to check B&B Bologna above all others. From the second we arrived it was fantastic. The owners could not be nicer people. I honestly believe if we would have needed to sleep on their own personal couch they would have let us. It is a great location, extremely easy to get to anywhere in Rome. There is a bus stop directly outside that runs to the Vatican and all points in between. There is also great food in the safe and quite surrounding neighborhood. We really could not have asked for more.

“Very friendly, comfortable, convenient, and fun!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2010

The Bologna Guest House was exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect. It's right next to bus and metro line (subway) to go to all the attractions, but far enough out to experience how Romans live day to day. Not touristy and expensive. There were boutiques, a pizzeria, gelato shop, flower shop, meat market, convenient store, pharmacy, and delicious restraunts all just around the corner. The owners were helpful when planning our itinerary and provided insight into every attraction, including great tips on the Vatican and the Colosseum. You do not want to be stuck in those lines. Book in advance if possible. The rooms were just big enough and very comfortable. We had a shared bathroom, but there were 2, and one was always available. Kitchen was there for you to use for your convenience. I can not wait to go back. Price is very inexpensive compared to the quality of service and experience you receive. Highly Recommended!!!!
