My friend and I recently spent two weeks at the Sistine B&B. From my first encounter with Francesca through emails reserving the room, I received nothing but professional and prompt attention. A taxi was reserved for us and picked us up at the airport. The driver met us at the arrivals area and held up our names. The accommodation, location and full breakfast were excellent. They offer a substantial breakfast and you can place the order the evening before and hang the notice outside your door. As we were interested in visiting the Vatican, it was just a fifteen minute walk to the area. There is wonderful shopping just a few blocks from the B&B and the subway is just a short walk as well. Francesca and her staff were courteous and helpful at all times.
The beds were comfortable and the only negative was the sound of the garbage truck on the street early in the morning. We loved the experience of the B&B and its charming qualities. It made our first trip to Rome a wonderful experience. I would recommend this accommodation to singles and couples. Mary/Eric

The Sistine B&B was wonderful!

I definitely will recommend a B&B for the value, cleanliness, helpful staff, and proximity to attractions and public transport.

All communications from the offsite and on site staff were clear, timely, and responsive. The room was ready with beds separated for my mother and my arrival. You could eat off the floors, and the spaces and bathrooms were modern.

For half the price of a hotel I have stayed in down the street, I got an expansive breakfast (see the other write ups), free internet, and the wonderful and short interactions I like in a B&B.

I would only recommend this for a family with children, if the family took all three rooms.

The hostess-room attendant-breakfast maker-tour assistant made the difference! She greeted and explained the nuances of the property, made a unique breakfast (even soft boiled eggs) for us, and assisted in travel arrangements! A gem for the Sistine!

The B&B is in a condominium (common for Roman B&Bs) and you have to quietly walk to the second floor. This is located in a mixed district of small businesses, restaurants, and residences. I was a light sleeper the first night with the time zone change, and did wake t the late evening trash truck. I dealt with it. The elevator IS small (3 people could stand inside with small bags, but if you are a traveler with an eye for new things, it will be the source of travel stories.

I will be coming back and staying there!

All reviews are right: clean, large, great breakfast, free Internet, small convenient mini bar. If you don't mind having to walk a little, the location is a great base to discover the city. We found nearby restaurants to be cheaper and usually better than most closer-to-attractions tables. Plan 10 to 15 minutes to get to the Vatican and not even half an hour to walk to Piazza di Spagna. Area is very safe at night.

Our stay at the Sistine B & B was the closest we'll ever come to experiencing a small part of Rome & the local " natives"!! It was fascinating just to be in busy restaurants with only 2-4 other tourist,[if you are unlucky] or out walking day or night, & be able to observe the locals" coming & going ".. This was our 2nd trip to Rome & it was much more relaxing & educational than the first time. Staying away from the "tourist hotels" was much more of a worthwhile 'mini adventure'!! We loved the Sistine B & B & Erina, who greeted us with a smile at every opportunity, & a wonderful desire to always be helpful. A truly lovely lady! I loved ' THE LIFT ' & it would have been impossible for me without it. My suitcase weighed "a ton". We have no negative comments about our 4 night stay, as everything went smoothly.Erina is very proficient in everything she does, & speaks ENGLISH well.
