RomAntic Dreams

Thanks to Giovanni for his warm welcome, though the bathroom in the hallway was a bit of a let‑down.

The neighborhood is great, convenient, a little damp and the floor feels cold.

“It ended ok and we were able to get a good night's sleep for the two nights we were there.”

The room was decent but needed some upkeep—plugs were loose in the wall and wires dangled in the hallway. First, there was no nearby parking unless you’re extremely lucky and spot someone leaving on the street; we drove around the building for over two hours before heading to a local attraction, then returned several hours later and still struggled to find a spot, which ended up several blocks away. Second, the check‑in was confusing and cumbersome; we only managed to get into the room after a lot of trial and error and with help from another tenant. Both the parking issue and the clumsy check‑in set a poor tone for our Rome visit and the B&B experience.

“Volvería”

The location was great, and in the end everything worked out fine.

“Convenient location”

The B‑B sits in a very convenient spot, just a short walk from San Giovanni metro station, which is three stops from Roma Termini, and there are plenty of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants nearby, including gluten‑free options. The area is quieter than the tourist zones and easy to arrange a taxi from. The on‑site staff were friendly and helpful but struggled with English; they quickly called someone in charge who handled all our questions. The electric smart key for the main entrance worked brilliantly, and after we left our luggage a few hours post‑checkout, we were given a manual key for our return. The room was spacious, the bed comfy, and there was good clothes storage. A small but handy lift helped move luggage or tired legs up to the third floor. On the downside, the communal kitchen was mostly decorative; the sink and taps didn’t work, so we had to rely on bottled water for tea. Bread, butter, and jams were supposed to be supplied, but on our first morning there were only a couple of crusts. Coffee pods ran out quickly. The fixtures were a bit worn: the toilet seat rubbed against the sink, curtains were coming off their rails, the sink and taps were loose, and the apartment door lock didn’t respond to the electric smart key, requiring several attempts to gain access.
