Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Small property with six rooms — There are only six rooms, so the property is compact and intimate rather than expansive.
- Fixed check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:30, and check-out runs 07:00 to 10:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets or smoking — The property doesn’t allow pets and smoking is banned on site, which may rule it out for some travellers.
- One category scores lower than others — The hotel’s lowest review category sits at 8.2, still a good score but a step below the 9.1+ ratings for value, service and rooms.
- One guest noted street noise — A single review mentioned minor street noise; it didn’t spoil the stay, but light sleepers might want earplugs.

9Verified guest“An incredibly convenient and pleasant location, and the staff were friendly and amicable.”
9Verified guest“The hospitality and organisation here blew me away. The owner was friendly and welcoming, gave us a full tour of the room and shared tips on sights worth seeing. The location was brilliant, with the main train station and a metro stop just around the corner, plus an excellent pizza place nearby. Staff were accommodating, putting a kettle in my room and letting me store luggage after check-out. The room was spotless and spacious, with a comfortable bed and a modern private bathroom. The common area had everything I needed, including a coffee machine, tea and an electric kettle. The attention to detail, the location and the cleanliness made the stay outstanding, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.”
9Verified guest“Breakfast was tasty, with fresh pastries and good coffee to start the day. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the rooms feel warm and inviting, like home.”
9Verified guest“A convenient location in a peaceful area, with a small grocery store nearby. The Esquilino district is definitely worth a visit.”
9Verified guest“The location was excellent, close to the metro and within walking distance of the bus and train station. The free Wi-Fi was a lifesaver, especially when I wanted to share how much I was enjoying my stay.”
