Story time. My first encounter with Paolo seemed inhospitable - as I was preoccupied with some thoughts and what to ask - when he said something about me, “Are you okay?”, implying that my focus was somewhere else. I also mentioned something about “having our breakfast outside” - initially, I meant outside the property, which isn’t the case; clearly I had mistaken it for some other hotel I have booked. He could have easily say - that it’s not the case - but he retorted something like: “are you truly okay?is there something wrong (with you)?” Truthfully, in person, this encounter seemed kind of rude. Well, as a Property Manager - one should consider that Your guests are: 1. Incredibly tired, 2. In a foreign land, probably overwhelmed and somehow confused. 3. not truly sure if you speak English - thus pulling out all the italian words she can pull from her brain just to speak to you. This our 19th day in our Family European travel. I was dead tired and overwhelmed, with 2 kids in tow. The rest of the stay seemed fine and dandy. We subsequently stayed and booked for another 5 nights after this booking in Arches. As I have said - we loved the property 😀 Needless to say - we adore our vacation in this property. Paolo eventually warmed up to us - and made sure we have food and milk. Fridge was filled with pastry, dairy and breakfast stuff. Pantry was stocked up and complete. He asked us how we were, whenever we saw him. We had a total of 6 night stay; and we enjoyed it. PS. But one thing - summer travels are challenging in Rome with mosquitoes! Bring citronella or mosquito blocks or something. I had to buy from Pewex as we were really uncomfortable because of it! We had to do something about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

We love the location, the size of the room and the surrounding area. Clean and tidy 😀 Very quiet and comfortable, yet our targeted places to visit are near enough on foot.

The room was a bit crammed and the additional single sofa bed very small. The double bed was very confortable and spacious but the bedding needs attention ( old pillows with no pillow protection cases which is not hygienic). The bathroom was also a bit tired and may need to be upgraded.

The property’s location is very convenient; proximity of the metro/ buses and just. 35/40mn walk to Campo Di Fiori and beyond or Trastevere. Nice local restaurants and shops. Free use of the kitchen and equipment is much appreciated. The cupboards we were allocated and fridge space were well stocked and we had everything we needed for breakfast.

The place is a bit dated like the rest of the Prati - and Rome is general. The refrigerator made nonstop noise (alarm) through 2 nights.

Paolo who checked us in is a very friendly person. The B&B is very conveniently located for a walk to Vatican. It is also very near the Ottaviano Metro station that can take the Hotel's guest to most of the important sights in Rome. The room was quite spacious and the small balcony is the perfect place for breakfast.

Noisy climatisation from other room. Absence of washingmashine... But I guess its usual to stay there for 2-3 days, not the whole week like we did :) Nothing else to brag about :)

The owner was very friendly, helpful and flexible. Thank you again! :) The balcony is supercute, we enjoyed sitting there every day. The room itself is nice. What was great was the level of cleanliness, and how often (and discreetly) our towels were changed. Basic daily breakfast supplies were a nice touch.

Beds are not very comfies and wifi connection too slow.

perfect location and cleanliness.

The only issue was how thin the walls were. This isn't the owners fault but just something to be mindful of if you have an early start.

Great location, lovely breakfast, staff were so friendly.

Stayed in February 2024

Breakfast just sweet things and water going out from shower.

Place was really great, in good location. Personel was kind and helpfully! No problems with anything.

Stayed in December 2023

The water in the shower did not always stay hot, other than that it was perfect

The location of the house was very close to the bus stop and the Vatican. The room was very clean and nice. There were snacks for us. It was a quiet and comfortable room experience. If I came to Rome again, this would be the place I would choose.

Apartments windows are in busy street and you can hear some noise from the street.

Good location near Vatican, not too much far away city center. In apartments are everything all you need. It was pretty clean.

The WiFi connection was poor and water wasn’t warm enough.

Well located, near to very nice restaurants, metro station and Vatican City. Nice facilities, handy kitchen

Breakfasts don’t feel full, nothing like ham/cheese so it needed to be bought extra

Location is absolutely win here, the building itself is so pleasant

Stayed in April 2023

A little old utilities, bathroom needs some attention. WiFi was slow , because it was a 4g basic router that provide the connection. Room with no character. You have to prepare your own breakfast, for some people is good , for some difficult.

Good communication, located in a nice neighborhood close to Vatican. Spacious room but with no character. Supplies for breakfast were generous but basic, but I enjoyed making breakfast for my family.

we stayed in the apartment end of March and nights were a bit cold. I think there was a problem with one window which we couldn’t close properly so it tend to be a bit cold at night. we had a problem with the shower but it turned out something was switched off by the cleaners and we managed to fix it quickly

the property location was very good. the host was very kind and explained everything about the apartment as well as recommended nice places to eat and visit. we encountered an issue with the shower, the host was reachable on WhatsApp around 10-11pm and was happy to help and resolve the problem asap. I recommend this apartment to everyone. there’s a cafe outside the hotel with delicious food and coffee - make sure you visit it at least once!

Wifi didnt worked

The room was big enough.

There are some things which need to be fixed. The sink in the bathroom was clogged. The water in the shower very unpleasantly changed from very hot to ice cold. The window handles need fixation too.

Good location - near the metro station and bus stops, superrmarket and restaurants. Clean and spacious room. Good kitchen facilities. Kind host.

WiFi barely reached to our room. needs to put a WiFi booster in the room for adequate WiFi.

close to Vatican and metro. local places close by. able to have larger groups

The Shower drain was was clogged. Breakfast was also the same as all properties in Italy, Dry packaged pastries with instant coffee (sometimes there is a Moka pot). It isn't a problem just more of an understanding.

Location is perfect for first time tourists, so easy to get to everything and just a couple blocks from the subway. Bathroom was newly renovated and nice fixtures.

Stayed in September 2022

The breakfast included is very simple. You basically get the ingredients and do the food on your own. Croissants, bread, marmelade, yogurts, milk and juice is ready. You can prepare warm drinks. No service. There was not much care from the stuff about the kitchen. Weak wifi.

The location was perfect. Close to metro station, Vatican, easy to get to other parts of Rome. The place is clean and the kitchen has basic equipment, not for big cooking. Generally its a good value for money.

broken things in the room, not a clean as expected
