Katharina and Roberto are very nice, for information Roberto speaks french, you can ask them everything, they have always time for you. The location is great, just a 10 minutes walk to the Vatican, and 5 minutes walk from the metro. Very clean place, very good quality price…

It has been a very nice and fine accomodation. Everybody was so kind and helpful and the location was exactely as I wished. Very close to almost everything (the Metro station is a five minutes walk from the B&B), it completely satisfied me. Thank to Roberto & Caterina!

This place is a real gem. Very clean, safe and very quiet. The double room was like a dancing hall. The bathroom on our side of the corridor was splendid, breakfast was more than enough. Catherina explained us all the sights to see, how to get there and what to do. I would not hesitate a second...

The hostel was amazing. The people who ran it were so nice and accommodating. There was always snacks and such to eat during the day. The rooms were very nice and it was reasonably priced. It is a 10 min walk from the Vatican and the subway into the city. If I ever go back I'll be sure to stay here!

This felt like a 2nd home; Katy welcomed me, gave me a map of Rome and explained the main sites and how to get around. The place was spotless and I felt safe at all times. I will definitely return.
