“Value for money!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

Stayed here for 3 nights. Is on the fourth floor (which is quite high in Roma, especially for me!), however the price for a triple room (en-suite) was very reasonable (148 Euros TOTAL for ALL guests, 3 nights) including a breakfast that was not served within the apartment block. For breakfast, 'tickets' are issued for each person to get a tea/coffee and 1 danish from an eatery just around the corner. I don't think this is enough and we added a toasted sandwich and a fresh orange juice for an extra 5 Euros.
A call is required to the owner of Modern House prior to your arrival so that you can be met at the property, this was not an issue for us but may be inconvenient for some.
The area in which the apartment stands, is not great, but for what you pay, is expected to some degree. We saw a few tramps sleeping in doorways only a few steps away. The Metro station is very close (less than a minute walk) but also can be walked to, from the main Termini station in about 15 mins.
The room we stayed in was very clean, though I think the en-suite was very recently built and the toilet cistern did leak ever so slightly. We had a kettle in the room but was not able to use this as the plug was not an Italian one! There was an air-conditioning unit in the room which was very welcome, though the 'pipe' had to be placed out of the window! There is a TV on the wall, showing plenty of italian shows and good storage facilities for clothes. Beds and fresh towels were left each full day we spent here.
The owner was very nice, the apartment block seemed very secure also and has a lift to reach the higher floors (this is a 'cage' lift that only 2 people can ride in at a time).
All in all, I would recomend this place if you are looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful in Rome! It's pretty central and if you are only looking for a bed for the night with no frills, then this may be the place for you.

“Unexpectedly nice, clean and comfortable stay with friendly approach.”

I can´t say much more than - room was big enough, the staff (Antonio) very client-focused and service oriented, helpful. The room was perfectly clean. The flat (turned into separate rooms with individual shower in ours) was in 4th floor of an old nicely renowed house just next to the Metro station one stop from Termini (main train station) and complimentary breakfast. Recommended :)

“ok location, but very bare bones”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2010

the location is fairly good, within a 10-min. walk to termini station. there's also a subway stop close by. the first impression of the area seemed a little sketchy, but we didn't have any problems with safety. the place is actually a flat in an apartment building. you need to schedule arrival time, as there is no staff on hand regularly. there's a phone number you could call for emergencies.

we stayed in a room with a queen bed, which was actually 2 twins pushed together, plus a separate twin bed. the beds were not the most comfortable, and don't expect nice linens. this room came with a shared bathroom, shared between 2 rooms. the sharing was manageable, since our schedule didn't conflict with the other room. the bathroom itself was also bare bones, but at least the fixtures were new.

as for breakfast, you get coupons to use downstairs at a local cafe, good for a croissant and a cappuccino.

“Great Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2008

people found this review helpful

My husband and I had a great time in Rome at this really nice Bed and Braekfast, where we felt like home, our room was really nice, there's a supermarket right next to it, internet right next door, the kitchen where we have breakfast is very nice and big, and we could use the fridge, so not only we don't pay much to stay there we can even have some snacks and save some money too.


The staff is very kind, helpfull and friendly, they come every day to serve breakfast, clean and check if everything is all right!

The location is really good, the subway station is a hundred meters away, we could walk to Coloseum in about ten minutes and Termini station too. The neighborhood is pretty safe and you can find everything you need near by!

Well we are happy that we found Modren House and we can't wait to be back again!
