Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Away from the historic centre — The B&B sits in the Tiburtino district, about 25 minutes' walk from the Borghese Gallery and a little way from the main sights, though Termini is close.
  • Comfort scores lower than other categories — While rooms and facilities rate highly, comfort sits at 7.2 – the lowest category – suggesting some guests found the beds or quietness less than perfect.
  • Breakfast coffee can be weak — One guest noted that the coffee could be stronger, a minor but recurring detail in an otherwise positive breakfast experience.

“A cute boutique hotel about a 10-minute walk from Termini. The room had high ceilings and a big window. The bed was surprisingly comfortable with fresh sheets. Breakfast included really good coffee, warm bread, and tasty croissants.”

8.5Verified guest

“The owners, Massimo (Max) and Alfredo, were always happy to help and advise. They waited for us until 00.30 when we arrived late and took us to a local restaurant so we could eat. The room was on the second floor of a large building, very well presented and clean. It was large, with a queen bed and a big en-suite bathroom with shower. Breakfast was continental – toast, cornetto, yoghurt, tea, coffee and orange juice. The location was a 7 or 8-minute walk to the main railway station on a quiet street. I would not hesitate to recommend this B&B and would happily stay again.”

“Rooms were clean and the breakfast was good. The distance to Termini station was also not too far.”
