Sleeping beauty is ideally located for visiting all the major tourist attraction. We walked to them all from here. Local bus and metro connections also work well.

Rooms are large and very clean. Alfred was very welcoming and gave us valuable advice on how to move around the city. Also bought us a coffee at local cafe, very nice and definitely appreciated.

Would definitely stay here again, very good prices but absolutely nothing lacking in facilities or service.

We had no idea what to expect on first coming upon Sleeping Beauty. We were just a bunch of scraggly, smelly Americans, but Alfred not only set us up with a deal in the nicest room -- and let us browse and borrow from his DVD collection -- but he also took the time to act as our de facto tour guide, pointing out the things we'd need to see/avoid/eat/drink while in Rome. One of the nicest guys we met on the entire trip, and certainly a place that's worth staying in when we return. Great guy. Great deal.

5 weeks in advance, we booked a twin room in the Snow White guesthouse. One day before leaving to Rome we got a telephone call that we could not stay there. We were transferred to the Sleeping Beauty guesthouse. We were not very pleased. We had no other choice than to go to the Sleeping Beauty.
Positive: We had a room at the backside. It was very quite and the airco worked well.
It was clean, the staff was helpful and friendly.
There are coffee and thee facilities in the room and a microwave in the kitchen.Kitchen amenities are poor.
Shower was OK
Negative: Room was very, very small. There was only 1 chair and 1 little desk in the room. Walking is quite far from the historical center (20 min to Colosseo and 30-45 min to fontana di Trevi,..
Metro line A is interrupted due to works during August. Walking to Stazione termini takes some 20 min.

The day we arrived in Rome was rather stressful, the metro line to San Giovanni isn't running and the bus didn't stop at our stop and we ended up having a half hour walk with oir suitcases in the crazy sun of Rome. When we arrived at Sleeping Beauty Guesthouse we were told to wait round the back of the block of flats, we did however there was nothing round there and we really weren't best pleased about this. We then went into the Guesthouse and were told the Boss wasn't there but we could wait upstairs for him.

Our room was ok, my advice on the place is if you don't look closely enough you don't see the cracks. The other problem I would alert you is you have to pay by cash even though the email I got when I booked our room said I could pay by card. Also there's a 2euro a night tax which the government brought it.

It is quite a nice place to stay so don't be put off but what I've said, everyone is very friendly there is free internet, a tv in your room, we had a nice ensuite and really nice, cheap restaurants just down the road and 15 minutes away from the Colosseum.

However the main thing that would put me off going back here is there isn't breakfast provided and you wasted a lot of time in the morning trying to find somewhere to eat.

Bear this in mind before staying!
