“Not very happy with it, good location though”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Pros::
+ waking distance to Vatican
+ Metro station outside property
+ B&B was clean
+ Breakfast was ok, you are preparing it yourself
+ towels were changed every 2 days
+ owner is very kind. She was kind enough to let us leave our baggage in the property the day that we were leaving, till the time had come to go to the airport, and also very kindly printed our boarding passes as well.

Cons::
- property building was very bad looking
- B&B was ok, but nothing more
- B&B and rooms need some paint on the walls
- stayed in orange room, where the bed was not good. Τhe mattress had some problems, no matter in which side you choose to sleep, you end up in the middle, and this was too tiring as we were 2 people on the bed.
- stayed 4 nights and NO sheets were changed (towels were changed every 2 days)
- WIFI was not free, owner said we would have 20mins free every day, but we only managed to get 10mins after registering on the first day, only for that one time of the registration. The rest of the days we had to pay in order to use it. We informed the owner, she said that everybody else has 20mins per day, and she would check it, but never responded back to us.
- overpriced for what it offers

Room Tip: close to subway

“Reasonable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2010

We stayed in the Yellow Room and it was pretty good but no more. The room was clean but in need of a lick of paint; part of the paintwork on the ceiling was in a bad way due to damp. The shower wouldn't stay in its bracket but other wise was OK and we chose not to mention it anyway. It is in an excellent position, with the Ottaviano Metro station directly outside the door and it's only a 10-minute walk to St. Peter's. The breakfast was acceptable too and there was enough to start you off before a day's walking round the city.

“Very nice B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2008

My wife and I stayed in the Yellow Room at the Rainbow B&B for one saturday night in june. It was overall a good experience, due to its position in the town and the quality of the room.
Despite the age and aspect of the building, the B&B is nicely refurbished, quiet and spotlessly clean. Our bed was comfortable, the ensuite toilet modern, the room fitted with fridge and m/w oven.
The breakfast was basket style but a large amount of ingredients were provided so the choice and the quantity was good.
The metro station and several bus stops are right in front of the door, while many tourist spots are within walking distance. The Vatican is 10 minutes away on foot.
It is possible to book online and make a downpayment with credit card, however any balance is to be paid in cash. Only caveat: the owner is not regularly at the B&B, so make sure you state your arrival details clearly with her to avoid waiting at the door. She is quite friendly anyway.

  • Liked — Cleanliness, quiet and care for details
  • Disliked — Waiting 20 minutes for the owner to arrive
