“DO NOT STAY THERE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We went there at the and of May. We found Magna Grecia Street No 103 but... at that adress is another B&B: Felicia. We asked about Crazy Holiday and we found out that it is in the same building. Damiano was not there, of course.

We were told that they don't have two rooms on the same floor ( keep in mind that we made the reservations three months before ) and that we have to stay on different floors for the first night?!?!?!?

Then they showed as the rooms: dirty, foot-prints on the walls, bad smell.... Bathroom dirty... They don't speek english so you feel like an idiot because you can't tell them how bad everything is.... The kitchen is small and dirty. EVERYTHING IS DIRTY.

We called Damiano and told him that everything is different from what we've seen on the internet. He tried to sent us to some other B&B located God knows were...

We left and we found Picadily Hotel across the street and we stayed there and it was excellent.

SO: DO NOT BOOK CRAZY HOLIDAY B&B UNLESS YOU WANT TO STAY IN A DIRTY, SMELLY ROOM. I recommend Picadilly Best Western Hotel. You pay more but it is great.

“DO NOT STAY HERE! THIS IS A SCAM B&B!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2010

people found this review helpful

I finally arrived after a long plane ride to the Bed & Breakfast. I stood there just ringing & ringing the doorbell for 45 minutes until I accepted that no one would show up. I went to a nearby bar/cafe and asked if they knew the owner "Damiano". They gave me his cell phone number, but no one would answer... Fully out of luck, I rang some other apartment units in the building complex, and a wonderful dentist office let me in. The dental assistant at the dentist office sympathized with my situation and tried to help me get in touch with Damiano. No luck... She told me that this was very common with this Bed & Breakfast, and that the owner was a pure "Cretino" (translation: a real &#&^&@#). We miraculously got a hold of him later on, and he made up some excuse that his B&B was full and that he would call some lady he knew at another B&B to come and pick me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not happening!

In the end, I was forced to get a hotel room at a nearby Best Western for which I paid an arm & a leg! I also lost my deposit at the Bed & Breakfast. I went back several times throughout my trip to see if I could find him, but he was never there. Simply Put, DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR MONEY!!!!! THIS PLACE IS A PURE SCAM!!!!!!!!!!

“They cancelled on us the night before we were going to check in-no referral was given either!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2010

person found this review helpful

My husband and I were planning to stay here for 2 nights. The night before our stay around 8:00 p.m. I received a text message from the hotel saying due to a broken pipe that all reservations were cancelled. While I understand this may have been unavoidable, I would at least expect that they would refer us to somewhere else nearby. Instead we flew out of Madrid and had to search for a place to stay last minute from the airport using their internet/business kiosk. We ended up at somewhere that was inconvenient to Roma and more expensive than we had planned on.

“Good base location but bring earplugs!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We wanted to visit Rome on a budget and this was one of the cheapest places to stay. It's a 5 minute walk from the metro - very handy. The room, with ensuite, was big enough for the 2 of us and was clean. But there was no service involved!! We didn't even meet the owner, a random guy (who didn't even tell us who he was) was there to let us in and that was all we saw of anybody for our 4 day stay. Cereal, bread, teabags, coffee and juice were left in the kitchen for breakfast. The street outside is so noisy that we had to buy earplugs to sleep through the night but that was our only real complaint. If you want to do a cheap stay this is not a bad choice, you get what you pay for, which is basic service. If you are out sightseeing all day and only need a clean place to sleep this b&b should suit

“Quaint Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2008

Crazy Holiday is owned by a lovely couple who are extremely nice and helpful. Is is located on the 2nd floor of a flat in San Giovanni. In a city where accommodations are extremely expensive, this bed and breakfast is a nice alternative. Although it is not located in the heart of tourist attractions, it is only a five minute walk to the metro stop. The bed and breakfast is an apartment~with four rooms inside. You pay for your room~all rooms except one have a bathroom inside of it. It is the bare minimum inside the room-bed, nightstand, mirror, and an armoire. Towels are provided. There is a shared kitchen area with some snacks. You are provided with breakfast coupons for the cafe downstairs near the apartment. They speak very little English in the cafe, but somehow we were able to get beyond that with our orders!

Great parts: great deal and helpful owners. Cleaned daily!
Not so great-it is a bit of a walk to the metro and the San Giovanni basically shuts down at 8 pm, depending on where your room is, a couple of rooms face the street and it is extremely noisy and was difficutl to sleep at night.

It's a good location if you are looking for a good deal and are staying over a few days. If you are wanting to be in the midst of attractions, I would not choose this location. This worked for us because we had carefully planned our vacation/trip--if you are needing assistance, it would be better to find a more tourist-focused accomodation.
