We liked everything

The room was perfect, very clean and well presented, the garden was an added bonus, we sat out there for breakfast one morning it was very nice, communication with the hosts was easy and Elena was very helpful, she gave us tips on where to visit and how to get to places, our overall stay was perfect and we will definitely stay there again.

The only things were that the shower was in the room, not the bathroom, so if you’re bashful like me, kind of embarrassing to have an audience. I could not figure out how to use the coffee machine!!!

Clean, pretty room. Was given perfect instructions to access our room by the host. Breakfast was not provided, but they left some nice packaged pastries. Coffee and teapot there. Really nice host, she was very helpful as far as giving us directions and helping us get transportation.

Nothing, loved it all!

Amazing location - 10 minutes from the colloseum, 20 mins from trastevre where there’s live music and good bars and 30 mins from the Trevi fountain! This guest house has all need and the staff were lovely with good recommendations!

The staff were so so helpful with trying to get directions to an unusual location we were trying to get to. Several times we simply phoned/e-mailed and we had a quick helpful response. Need a couple extra coffee... Just asked!

The room was clean and had everything we needed but the real star was Elena who went above and beyond to help. Fantastic customer care!

Central location, staff very helpful and nice, room super clean, bed comfortable, near the metro My wife was sceptic about the shower in the room but honestly it did not effect our stay at all

Shower head in the room should be moved to the side wall over the drain which would give much more room to move within the shower stall.

Clean, excellent location, friendly staff. Perfect in every way.

Elena was the best host we could’ve asked us. She helped us a lot with an issue we had with transportation and was very kind, always available to help!

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Relais Circo Massimo, and we loved it. We arrived at night, and Elena had left everything explained in detail for us to get into the building and room. The room was very clean and quiet. Is located conveniently at a walkable distance from every interesting place you may like to visit in Rome. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Rome.

Fantastic accommodation, highly recommended. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. 2 minutes from the metro with which you can reach everything in Rome. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Different complimentary snacks, fruit, water, drinks, tea and coffee were provided, which was very much appreciated. Girl at the reception is so kind and helpful with anything you might need. I would again stay here even if the reason for my visit of Rome wasn't in that neighbourhood.

The communication was excellent and providing great suggestions on the local surroundings, and a great central location.

We didn't mind this at all, but just note that the room we stayed in had an open glass shower in the room itself, separate from the bathroom.

Elena was tremendous and so helpful and kind. The hotel is located in a beautiful neighborhood on the Aventine Hill, far enough from tourist spots and close enough to walk to them all. It was clean, bright, and a wonderful spot to return home to at night and for siesta. We'll definitely return!

As far as areas of improvement, there isn’t much. The shower is in the bedroom which is a bit different. And can potentially be a little awkward if you’re sharing the room with a friend. Not a concern if you’re a solo traveler or traveling with your significant other. My apartment was also right next to the front desk but they kept the noise level down which I appreciated.

When it comes to travel accommodations, I have high standards. My stay at Relais Circo Massimo blew my expectations out of the water. First off, Elena and her staff did a great job communicating with me prior and during my booking. They always responded promptly and there was never a language barrier as you sometimes have with international travel. They provided me with all of the information I needed to make my arrival comfortable. During my trip to Italy, I stayed at six different properties that were booked through Booking.com. Circo Maximo was by far the best of the bunch. The property is located in a nice part of Rome. And a quiet part of the city which is a feat in itself in such a bustling city. Despite the neighborhood, it’s still in a prime location: a short walk to the Roman ruins. And also three minutes or so by foot to get to the Metro and bus station. I’m a light sleeper so quite accommodations are big in my book. The apartment is also secure. There’s a gate that you have to open using a code that’s given to you. And then a different code to open the front door. And finally, keys to enter your apartment. This provides a nice sense of security. With all of this being said, the beauty is in the details. They had everything you need in the apartment and then some. The bed is comfortable. They provided hand towels (only one other property out of the six I stayed at offered this amenity). There’s a mini fridge in the room. They provided you with helpful information through a letter that was printed out and provided upon check-in. They have hand lotion (the only one out of the six to do so). They provided a generous number of complimentary snacks and soft drinks/beer. There’s also a nice garden where you can hang out. Talk about providing all of the amenities you need and then some! If all of this wasn’t enough, Elena was proactive in helping me out. She knew I was planning to travel by bus to get to The Vatican.

The room is big enough for 2 people no more. Although we had 3 suitcases

Great cosy room with a little terrace. Love the decor and was handy to move around. Not far from the Colosseum and other attractions. Lots of restaurants around the corner as well. We have a relaxing time there. Highly recommended

Lovely staff. Excellent location. Very happy with our stay

I would prefer a more private window curtain option.

I found the location and the price the best things about this rental. It was clean and comfortable as well, and the staff was very communicative and friendly. It is in a really nice neighborhood and is quiet. I felt safe and out of the hustle and bustle yet close enough to get to nearby sights. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Elena and Alaksandra were so friendly and accommodating. I have never been to Rome before and Elena took time to go through a map and show me all the best spots to go, additional to the usual tourist attractions. She showed me all the best authentic Italian restaurants, where the locals like going, and I had the best tiramisu of my life at one of the places she recommended. The hotel itself was spotless, so clean you could eat off the floor. Very comfortable bed and quality pillows. Location was great, walking distance to colosseum and nearby attractions and steps from public transport that would take you directly to Vatican City or other, further away sites. Could not recommend this place more.

The kitchen and bathroom felt more spacious than the bedroom--there would be limited space if it were a couple who had a fair amount of luggage, for example.

The owner was very helpful with my questions beforehand. They can arrange airport or train station transfers for you--just ask. All the directions, such as getting into the apartment, were very clear and worked perfectly. There is a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and stove top, but no oven. I saw a rose garden (Roseto Comunale) nearby that I think is within walking distance, which would be nice place to visit in spring and summer evenings. The neighborhood looks pleasanter than where I had stayed earlier in Rome. It is very near the Circo Massimo Metro station, and if you don't have much luggage, you can walk from the metro station to the apartment.
