Hotel Details

Location

Just 300 m from San Giovanni Metro, the guest house is a 20-minute walk from the Colosseum and within easy reach of Rome's historic centre.

The property is located in a quiet residential area, 12 km from Rome Ciampino Airport. San Giovanni Metro Station (Line C) is a short walk away, providing direct connections to the Colosseum (20 min), the Vatican (40 min), and other landmarks. Buses 51 and 85 also serve the route. The neighbourhood offers many restaurants, pizzerias, and a supermarket within a few minutes' walk. Free street parking is available nearby, though the area is better accessed by public transport.

Accommodation

Spacious double rooms with balcony, air conditioning, soundproofing, and a work desk. The shared bathroom is large but has a glass door with limited privacy.

Each of the three double rooms features a balcony, flat-screen TV, washing machine, wardrobe, and tiled floors. Soundproof walls help reduce noise, though some traffic sounds may still be heard in street-facing rooms. The shared bathroom has a glass shower door and a cord lock (not a key), and does not include a separate toilet - occupants of the other two rooms share the same facility. Rooms offer comfortable beds and a sofa in some units. The antique elevator serves upper floors but may feel less secure; stairs are also available. The property is adults-only.

Dining

No on-site dining or kitchen facilities. Numerous restaurants and pizzerias are within a 5-minute walk.

The guest house does not have a restaurant, bar, or breakfast service. Food and drink cannot be consumed in the rooms or common areas, and the kitchen is locked. For meals, nearby options include Sharazad Ristorante Pizzeria (0.5 km), Ristorante Grotta Azzurra (0.5 km), Enoteca Verso (0.5 km), and Miss Pizza La Pizza A Domicilio (0.5 km). A supermarket is also close by for snacks and drinks.

Wellness and Leisure

A quiet courtyard garden offers a relaxing outdoor space. No pool, spa, or gym are available.

The property features an inner courtyard garden with seating, providing a peaceful retreat after sightseeing. Some rooms have balcony views over the garden. The area itself is quiet, and the building's antique lift adds character. No other leisure facilities are present on site.
