“A great self catering apartment in a good area of Rome and easy access to the Vatican and other sites. Many restaurants nearby. Shopping area around here is fairly upmarket. The apartment is clean and well equipped. Large bedrooms are both equipped with air conditioning. One has a double bed and the other two singles. I would definitely recommend this apartment.”
“Would really recommend staying in this place if you're in Rome! - The surrounding area is really lovely and has a bunch of reasonably priced cafes and restaurants (some of which the hotel recommended). Would particularly recommend the Bilbo cafe down by the river! - Easy walking / transport connections to the rest of Rome. - The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and have everything you need (including hairdryer). - They clean the rooms daily. - Kitchen is well equipped, and has fresh fruit! - Aircon in the room is perfect, we were comfortable all night! - Lift is very cute - Owners are so kind and helpful! - Easy transfer from the airport via a direct coach (only 7€), which the hotel recommended. - They let us leave our bags there on the final day, which meant we could squeeze in a bit more exploring! Only thing is that it's next to a relatively busy road, which is quiet in the evening but in the morning you might be woken up by cars going past. We didn't find it a massive problem as relatively heavy sleeps, but would recommend earplugs (especially if you're a light sleeper!) Overall would defo come back to this place!”
“The best accommodation you could find in Rome. Andrea is very kind, he greeted us the day before, giving us detailed directions to the hotel and wanted to make sure we arrive safely. The room was clean, nice, spacious, and comfortable. Soft drinks, fruits, and juice are provided FREE for guests. Kitchen is usable all time. Bathroom is clean. Surrounding area is lively with lots of shops. Totally recommended if you're looking for a perfect value-for-money place to stay. Definitely would stay there again if we come back to Rome”
“CiaoRoma! Is perfect for you if you are a couple and you plan to visit Rome. The location of the apartment couldn’t be better (8 min walking from Saint Pieter’s Basilica). The rooms are spacious, comfortable and bright. The bathroom is really big and for private use and comes with plenty of towels, shower gel, body cream… Also worth mentioning that Andrea is a fantastic host that took the time to explain us everything and show us some restaurants near by worth visiting. 100% recommended!”
