This is one of the nicest BNBs I have stayed at, the rooms are clean, the staff are all very helpful and friendly. The host, Andrea, is very accommodating and a wonderful person, he is very easy to talk to. Andrea also provides a nice breakfast and makes great cappuccinos. The location is amazing, only a few minutes away from the Coliseum, San Giovanni Cathedral, and from the Manzoni metro station. Lots of great restaurants in the area too, Andrea offers some great suggestions. One of the nicest areas in central Rome, close to everything but away from the the crowds of people. After staying at this BNB twice, I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Rome.

Amazing stay
We were only in Rome for a few days and we were able to make the most of it because of Andrea. He not only greeted us when we first got there. He helped us with any questions of the city and gave us advice on how to get the most of the trip. Our room was just beautiful ! Very clean, had all the essentials we needed and also a adapter for the Italian electric plug. The location of the B&B is a few minutes walking from the Colosseum. Highly recommended. Will stay again when we come back.

Overall was good especially the location and the check-in experience. The host Andrea is quite patiently explained the Area of Interest with us and prepared nice breakfast for us. On the first night of staying, the host sent us Air-Cond controller when we told him that the room was warm. However, we do not understand why housekeeping staff collect back the controller after made up the room. It was then again we asked for the air-cond controller for 2nd time from the Host since 9.30pm however we did not get the response immediately like the 1st night, hence we are trying our luck to reach the host. Finally, the host was able to reply me at around 11-11.30pm when the 2nd time of request was deliverd however the attitude didn't quite well. (We do understand the frustration but considering we have been trying to contact since 9.30pm when there was no response, we felt frustrated as well and could not figure out why the housekeeper collect back the controller since he knew that we continue our stay.) On the last day when we check-out, we brought the shower head to the host and told him that the shower head was dropped when my husband trying to twist the head when he showered, the Host didn't look happy and the reaction showed us that he was not happy we broke the shower head. When he was tying to fix back the shower head of which we were trying to do so when the incident happened, he was not happy and blamed us that we made the floor flooding and the wooden door didn't work well.

The place is an apartment with 3 rooms, a kitchen and a small hall,sometimes is a little bit noisy specially because people has not respect for other people rest,very clean, easy to move around, Andrea and Adrian very nice people always helpful. I just think they should improve the quality of coffee and tea.

Great B&B, return!
we've just retuned from our stay in B&B Locanderia and we've only got positive things to say. Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the workers there, given our keys and told when breakfast was (8:30-10:30am) and given a map of the city with a bit of essential information. The room was very clean, and the air con excellent, basic but everything you'd need for a city stay. Breakfast was good, and Andrea couldn't have been more helpful, he told us where to go and how to get there on public transport. He even booked us a return transfer to the airport (50 euros). The B&B itself is located around an 8 minute walk to the colosseum, and if you go down the street opposite Mecure Hotel, and to the right, there is a lovely selection of cheap but wonderful restaurants. There is also plenty of public transport services around the B&B within 3 mins walk. Overall we would completely recommend and would love to return. Thanks again Andrea!

Disapointed!
I booked this trip as a surprise for my twin daughters, who turn 21 later this year, after reading all the reviews I thought this would be a little gem - I was wrong. This B&B was quite hard to find, in a residential apartment block. The photos on the website show it as being a light and airy building. The room we were given was nothing like the photographs. It was very dark whatever the time of day and we had to turn on the lights whilst in there. The shower leaked and flooded the bathroom floor every time we used it and the window in the bathroom opened out into the boiler room. You could hear people in adjacent rooms having a shower/flushing the toilet and their conversations. Our room door opened out directly onto the breakfast area and had a gap between the doors of about an inch. The owners are not based on site and only attend the building during breakfast or for new arrivals. I mentioned the shower to the owner and he just dismissed it. Breakfast consisted of a croissant and two small slices of toast, with hot drink and juice. Every day - there was no other choices. On the plus side it is very near to the Coliseum and bus/metro services are very close by. We were very disappointed with the room but didn't let that spoil our holiday. Rome is definitely a place I would visit again, but I would stay elsewhere.

Hotel close to coliseum
Arrived at b&b found it difficult to gain access and had to wait for owner for 20mins,was no breakfast on the Sunday and no room was cleaned on Sunday. On the Monday night at 11pm doorbell was ringing constantly so I eventually went to door to see 2 guests arriving And we tried to contact owner but after 1hr no reply so they went to find Alternative accommodation. We had a 7 year old child with us and no cereal for breakfast. Just toast and croutons.

Basic but clean.
The room was large and clean with plenty of hanging space for clothes. The bathroom was clean but needs a little work - the shower screen was broken. Breakfast was lovely, fresh croissants every morning, but could have done with a little fruit. There were tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge in the main kitchen area which was useful. This B+B is in a great location and is great value for money. I would stay again.

The owner Andrea is the nicest man I've ever met.
The owner not only is welcoming but will go above and beyond for recommendations and make things comfortable and convince for you. The room is big, it is clean, you have freedom to come and go with ease. It has airconditioning. Cons- showers are a little small (but again very clean) The keys for the room are a skeleton key, so that should be upgraded, they make a lot of noise trying to get them to open and could wake others.

The place was hard to locate... Due to no sign. But the owner was awesome in waiting for us for a very late check upon arriving from the airport. Due to a mistake on their end there upgraded us to a full apartment that was extra awesome! Walking distance to train, bus, and attractions. Great location and wonderful staff!

Cannot fault. Perfect Rome escape.
Perfect location. Bus stop and metro stop very close to get to all attractions... Or close enough to walk to. 5-7 mins to colosseum. Just off a main road so lovely a quiet. Characterful building and rooms. Quirky. Breakfast. Not loads but just right!! Andrea great host... Very helpful. Absolutely fantastic value for money! This is a B and B so don't expect full hotel amenities. Wifi connection however was superb. Reliable and speedy enough to research all our travel plans.

This is a strange place; there is nobody available at all times, leaving you to fend for yourself with questions about heat, internet, etc. I was chilly the whole visit and did not enjoy. It was a decent cost and the rooms were good sized, but dark, cold and not the best hospitality.

Good Rooms, Good Location but no Breakfast
The place was neat and clean and not very far from the Colosseum. The breakfast was very basic which included only bread, biscuits and tea and coffee packs. Not even Milk and juice was provided. The owner was friendly and helpful but there was extra 3.75 euros per person per night which was not mentioned anywhere

Excellent place Colosieum
It was a good experience staying there. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Price wise, it was good but as you are staying in the center so overall prices of stuff around the area are bit higher than else where but I wont bring that into my checklist as a NO. Overall very good bus, tram, train connections and good hotel service. My kids loved staying there. We stayed during October 2015.

Great location close to the Colosseum
This was a great location - 5 minutes walk to the Colosseum! Andrea was most helpful and the breakfast each morning a bonus. The room was large and spacious but although it had doors onto a 'balcony' area you couldn't open the windows so no fresh air which was a shame. However, the room was comfortable and free wifi etc was excellent. It was also a close walk to the metro - so access to other parts of the city was easy and convenient. Access to the kitchen was all hours, so possible to make tea and coffee and have takeaways. The room is in an old building that looks great, has a lift if required and is well presented. Our bathroom needed a little TLC and updating but the shower etc was great. Overall, a really nice stay in a great location for tourist access.

Great Location and wonderful owner!
The B&B is 500m from Santa Marinella train station so the location is ideal as the means the town centre is only a couple hundred metres more. The owner Phillpo is passionate about Florence and loves his city. He suggested amazing places for us to eat and must see locations. The rooms are well kept and modern, we had fresh towels once back from our days out. What more could you ask! Loved it!

B&B Locanderia
When we booked this hotel the pictures of the room were gorgeous, however it was evident as soon as we arrived that the room we were given was substandard to say the least. The positives: The room was clean, there was toilet paper, we had a key and we were allowed to keep hold of the key until we were due to depart. The negatives: Although we were met by someone on our arrival, her English was extremely poor and she only spoke very little Italian, this was a bit of a dilemma when we tried to clear up about local facilities etc, Light fittings in the toilet were not fitted to the wall, water ran down the back of the sink onto the floor, painting was not completed, there was nowhere to hang our clothes, there was no access to drinking water, there was no tea or coffee making facilities within the room, there was no fridge, no access to the communal lounge and to top the trip off we were unable to call a taxi from the B&B for our return trip to the airport. When we rechecked our booking, it was evident that this was NOT the room we booked.

Great for a short break on a budget
B&b is close to the colloseum area with some great restaurant's and bars which were recommended by the b&b owner andrea. The station and city centre was walking distance We had a room for 4 people. a double bed, a sofa bed and a camp bed. All beds were comfy except the camp bed due to wooden slats falling onto the floor on 2 nights as we slept. Faciloties including breakfast were good. The hotel was extremely clean. There was a secure compound to park in with limited spaces. The owner was very helpful and spoke good english. The shower screen wasnt very secure so we accidentally flooded the bathroom taking a shower. A good clean place to stay for those on a budget willing to walk a little to the sights

Great place to stay in Rome
Andrea contacted us just before we were heading down to Rome to make sure we had directions and coordinate the time so that he would be there to meet us. Getting through Rome wasn't too bad but gets a little tricky as you get within a couple of mins to the B&B. Of course our GPS didn't have the recent changes to one way streets LOL We were able to navigate around the streets and found the B&B very very close to the Colosseum. Parking was available on the secured street outside of the hotel so this was great for convenience. Andrea was there to meet us, showed us the room and sat with us to explain the area and give us tips on where to go. The room was great, well decorated, spacious, a small bathroom and had everything we needed. A small breakfast area outside where Andrea prepared breakfast for us each day and was always available to chat. Breakfast was typical Italian with a Croissant, toast, juice, coffee, etc. Plenty to get the day started. The B&B is located 5 minutes away from the Colesseum and close to most of the major attractions. It was an easy walk to everything, although we walked all day to see as much as we could during our stay. Even the Vatican is within walking distance. We parked the car for the duration, had access to public transportation but found it easier to walk everywhere. There are also some small catacombs very close by that you can venture down for 5 Euros, well worth seeing and much easier than the larger ones further out. Easy access to shops,

A little unusual, but close to Colosseum & Forum
This is a former apartment or home, renovated into a small B&B. It's in an apartment building, and is a little hard to find, as others have noted. It is also essential to arrange your arrival time ahead with Andrea, because he is only there in the morning. So if you arrive unannounced later in the day, there won't be anyone there. We took the private car Andrea arranged for us from the airport, which was a great way to arrive. Vladmir, the driver, met us with bottled water and a great tour of the city as we drove in, and it wasn't much more than a cab (and was a flat fee). And he knew exactly where to arrive. Andrea, the owner, offers great restaurant recommendations, and is very helpful. The breakfast is all carbs, no protein, so be ready for that. It's a great location, and has a small common area you can eat in should you bring in groceries or take-away. There were four of us in the family room, which was a bit crowded (our kids are 9 and 13). But it is very hard to find a place that can fit four us in a hotel in Europe, so it was a great value for us. We even walked to Vatican City from there, but it's about 8 miles round trip probably.

Wonderful (uncomfortable) B&B
This is a great hotel despite not being comfortable at all. Andrea does everything he can to make your time in Rome as rewarding as possible and he succeeds magnificently. He came and found us while we were wandering around trying to find the B&B, made dinner reservations for us, helped us navigate to local attractions, and was the best host anyone could ask for. However, the mattress in our room was a rock, the pillows are thin, and the street noise comes through the walls at all hours. I honestly enjoyed every second of my time here but I'd definitely recommend this to someone who isn't planning on being in their room much. Still, I give Andrea 5 stars for hospitality and style. He absolutely makes staying here worthwhile.

Hidden jewel
This was my first time in rome and it certainly won't be my last. This hotel was brilliant for my stay. A few days before arrival we heard off Andrea via ema asking for an approximate time of arrival so someone could be there. This was lovely to have contact. Luckily for me I had read reviews on here before hand about finding the building. It is well worth knowing the b&b isn't signposted at all but is written on an intercom. I have attached pictures of the building. We were shown to our room and were slightly disappointed to see one double bed. I had booked a superior double which in the picture on Expedia had a sofa bed in there too. Marconi who showed us around said there was only double beds there. It was no main drama although I needed to share with my dad for 2 nights. The room was clean and comfortable. There were free toiletries and towels. The breakfast was a crosissant and toast with hot drink and juice. It was ample and very tasty. It filled me up til mid afternoon. The walk to the colosseum was 10 minutes and a great location. I will definitely stay here again and thank Simone, marco and Andreas dad for their help during the stay showing us where we could go and what's recommended on a short visit.
