The only problem was having to use Whatsapp to get into the room. I had been sent the instructions on my email the night before, but I hadn't had wifi all day or even knew to check my email. It's just worth knowing this isn't a hotel with a staff, this is a Airbnb situation with a completely remote host

Good location. Cumbersome check-in, basic room, misleading and missing information on the booking site (e.g. no mention of “late” check-in and luggage storage fees at time of booking)… If you check-in after 9:00 p.m., you are charged €15; if you arrive after 10:30 p.m., you pay an extra €25. It is unlikely that I will not return to this property.

Nice place! It was quiet and clean! The owner was very friendly and helpful. It’s conveniently located near the Vatican. The taxi stand was just across the street. There are numerous restaurants and bars (coffee shops) within a five minute walk.

Everything was fine, but I didn't know what AirB&B was. I thought it was a hotel. I was traveling and didn't have internet... I thought I might arrive late, I had already paid for the night... but nobody opened the door for me... the building was closed. I couldn't communicate.

Nice place to stay in Rome

Very nice host. The location is very walkable to the Vatican City and there is a bus stop right across the street that goes to city center of Rome. The building is a bit old but the rooms are cleaned everyday.

Disappointing experience

I recently stayed at this hotel and was disappointed with my experience. While I understand that it's a budget-friendly option, I still expected a certain level of quality and service. Unfortunately, the room was not suitable for the number of guests it was advertised to accommodate. The check-in process was also more complicated than necessary, requiring us to wait for the admin to respond to our messages. Upon entering the room, I was surprised to find that it was not clean and tidy. The refrigerator had leftover food from previous guests, the floor was dirty, and the balcony was in a poor state. When I brought these issues to the attention of the admin, they did not take responsibility for the cleanliness of the room and only partially addressed the issues. The bathroom was also lacking in basic amenities, such as towels and hand soap. I had to go out and purchase these items myself, which was inconvenient. The bathroom features and amenities were also subpar, with a broken shower and low water pressure. The internet connection in the room was slow and unreliable, and stopped working altogether towards the end of my stay. When I reported this issue, I did not receive a response from the admin. Overall, I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel and would not recommend it to others.
