MARZIAH INN, Rome

Located in the real heart of Rome, the B&B is a 3-minute walk from Castro Pretorio Metro Station (Line B) and about 600 metres (7-10 minutes on foot) from Roma Termini railway station, providing direct trains to Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, as well as buses and metro connections citywide. Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica is a 15-minute walk away. The surrounding area is lively, with numerous bars, restaurants, pizzerias, and gelaterias all within a 300-metre radius, including The Bramble Bar, Gello Gelateria Artigianale, and Trattoria la Tavernetta Pizzeria. The neighbourhood offers a vibrant, local feel with non-tourist-friendly prices at many eateries. The historic centre (Colosseum, Roman Forum) is about a 30-minute walk or a short metro ride. The location is particularly convenient for early-morning flights via the airport buses at Termini. The building has a narrow lift, which is helpful for luggage despite its compact size.

Accommodation options include twin/double, triple, and quadruple rooms. Each room comes with air conditioning, heating, soundproofed windows, parquet floors, a safe deposit box, and an electric kettle with tea/coffee making facilities. Triple rooms feature 2 beds (one double and one single), and quadruple rooms offer 3 beds (a double and two singles). Private bathrooms are standard, equipped with a shower, bidet, hairdryer, and free toiletries, though some bathrooms are noted as compact with limited shelf space. Towels and linens are provided, but daily towel changes require a specific request. Some rooms have windows that face inner courtyards, offering more quiet, while street-facing rooms may experience noise from the bar/restaurant opposite. A few rooms have been noted to have limited natural light and ventilation. Overall, rooms are functionally furnished, suitable for short stays with a practical, no-frills approach. Extra pillows and blankets are available on request.

The property offers a breakfast option that typically includes a cappuccino or coffee with a cornetto (Italian croissant) and a fruit juice, served at the 'Friends Caffè' on the corner or at the on-site bar. For those preferring a different start to the day, the area around the B&B is rich with dining choices: several Italian restaurants, pizzerias, and casual eateries are within a 2-5 minute walk, including The Bramble Bar & Kitchen, Trattoria la Tavernetta Pizzeria, and Strada Romana Restaurant. A minimarket (PAM) is across the street for self-catering supplies. There is no full restaurant on-site. A fridge is available in the room but no microwave. For gluten-free dietary needs, alternatives are limited to basic items; planning ahead is recommended.

The property provides free WiFi suitable for streaming 4K content and video calls. Daily housekeeping is included in the rate, though towel changes may require a specific request. Express check-in/check-out and private check-in/out are available. A safe deposit box is provided in each room. The building has a lift, though it is narrow (fits one person with a large suitcase). Luggage storage is available for a fee, and lockers are provided.
