I'm not surprised this hotel has received the number of positive reviews it has. If what you want is clean and comfortable accommodation within easy reach of the city centre then that's what you get here.

We had room 315 which was a decent size, simply but smartly furnished, with a very comfortable bed. My Partner's parents had 314, which was larger and had a balcony (honestly - I do the work, they get the balcony). The only thing I could quibble about was that for someone my size, 5'10'' and 13 stone, the shower cubicle was tiny.
Breakfast was fine, with a view over the rooftops, though I would say that if everyone in the hotel decided to have breakfast at the same time you might have a wait.
One thing I've not noticed on other reviews - the hotel is on the flight path to Ciampino, and though this isn't that noticeable in the bedrooms, in the rooftop breakfast room some of the aircraft do seem a bit 'close'

No bar but the restaurant attached to the hotel was very good. We also thought the restaurant in the next street - think it was called Principe - was also worth a shout if you didn't fancy going back into town in the evening. Few bars in the immeadiate area though we did find a slightly bizarre place called Il Bosco degli Elfi - the Elves Cave - at via Tuscolana 822. Also weird because it sold Tennants Lager.
The area around the hotel - ok, its not pretty but neither is it threatening - however, there isn't a great deal going on. You could go 2/3 stops out on the metro to Subaugusta where the area is more lively.

TIPS
1)If you get the chance, follow the hotels advice and go for a stroll around the 'Park of the Aqueducts' We spent a bright spring morning here with the joggers, the dog walkers, and these aqueducts. Very relaxing, with good views inland to the hills.
2)We prebooked tickets for the Colosseum via the official website which I reckon saved an hour's waiting in line. Print out your ticket, keep left after the security check and zoom straight to the reservations window.
3)Very impressed with the Centrale Montemartini museum - ancient statues in a modern(ish) power station.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The reception area was undergoing some renovations at the time, but it didn't affect our stay at all! The only problem we had was that the bathroom smelled quite a bit, probably a drainage problem, but we were barely in the room so never mentioned it. The receptionists by far the best thing about this hotel, the couldn't be more helpful, with directions/buses/metro etc.
The Metro A Line is right around the corner & runs every 2/3 mins until 9/10pm its really cheap & u can buy a 3day ticket for 11Euros, after 10pm the MA2 or N1 bus take the same route as the underground the stop u want is Tuscolana (just look at the signs on the bus stops, they tell u where the bus will stop) and will drop u off right by the Numidio Quadrato metro stop which is as i said b4, just aroung the corner from the hotel. I noticed that other reviewers had mentioned the area isnt the most desirable but we wandered about every day/night & never had a problem - infact when we initially got off the metro a lovely Italian man came straight over to help us when he seen us with our map!!! All in all we had a great time and would recommend this hotel to budget travellers who just need somewhere to rest after a hard days sightseeing.

The hotel room was clean and comfortable and the staff very pleasant. Breakfast was simple but adequate, though the addition of fresh fruit would have been welcome.
The only problem we had was that the sitting area with internet connection was right outside our room, with the consequence that we were kept awake late at night on one occasion by people drinking and socialising right outside our door, very loudly! The walls are like paper and I was very annoyed to say the least. I hope the proprietors will consider this for the sake of future guests.

“Absolute bargain, great base to explore this beautiful city!”

City Guest House

Jan 10, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

Working to a tight budget, I eventually identified this hotel as decent, well presented, affordable place to explore Rome. I took my girlfriend the weekend before christmas and we had a really fun time. I don't believe you need to spend a great deal when exploring a city for the weekend so long as you get a comfy, clean and friendly place to stay - cityguesthouse was all of this. The receptionist was lovely and very helpful. She booked us two local restaurants - one of which being the place next door (great food!) and the other was 1 min walk around the corner (super traditional, friendly atmosphere). The hotel was very tidy and our room was a good size with a really comfy double. Everything in the bathroom worked fine and the shower was nice and hot =o)
Breakfast is basic but a nice bowl of cereal, some bread, yoghurts and cup of coffee was fine for me!
Admitedly, the hotel isn't in a particularly nice looking neighbourhood but it is very close to a main "A line" metro and also a cheap pizza snack shop where we discovered our love for "Suppli". Mmmmm.
I hope potential visitors aren't put off by some of these other reviews. For an budget hotel, I think the service is more than adequate.
