Dolce Vita:Great location, no-frills place to stay

Overall, it served its purpose. The lady who helped us check in was nice. However, unlike American B&Bs, they wanted an exact time for your arrival since they don’t also live in the building. Fonsj (part of the management) started texting and calling me about my arrival time a week in advance. The bathroom had some black mold and there was very little toilet paper available. The keys frequently got stuck in the door as well. The reason the rating was so high: the beds were comfortable and the room was certainly secure. The location was perfect for walking to tourist attractions. Not a typical B&B though, so if that’s what you’re looking for, I wouldn’t suggest it. If you’re looking for somewhere that you can park your car (street parking), visit a bunch of great attractions, and sleep, this place is a great fit. There is also a fridge that you can use in the common room. If you would like a fan for the summer heat, because the room is very warm, you may be able to ask for one in advance (I wish we had).

Older hotel, convenient, reasonable for the money

This older hotel is located in a convenient area near the old port and historic sites. However, it abuts on an area of the city in transition due to many immigrants from the Arabic-speaking countries. I would caution single women to be extra careful. The staff was very nice, spoke adequate English, and the room was comfortable (with a 4-post bed!). A modern elevator and upgraded bathroom utilities and air conditioning were helpful. The breakfast was excellent. I WOULD stay here again.

Staff is hostile

Was in touch with the host about check -in time. They were 45 minutes late and then took another 45 minutes to find our booking, the guy showing us our rooms was very rude and didn't speak English. The rooms were not too bad though the bathrooms were in bad shape and the common area was dirty and moldy. Complaining about the slow check -in, we got into an argument with the host who became increasingly hostile, so, trying avoid a physical fight, we left and stayed at a hotel, we did not get a refund. Not fun

Accommodation adequate

Good situation. Shower poorly designed and hard to clean properly. Bed cover needs replacing. Pretty grubby. Otherwise good sized room which became our base over 6 days. Breakfasts were basic. Packeted food and same each day. Ended up buying fresh produce from shop right next door rather than eat breakfast provided. Still a good experience though.

Nice location, cleanliness was problematic

This B&B was both beautiful and in an excellent location - both close to main tourist attractions as well as being comfortably away from the crowds. The staff were very nice and helpful but their poor english made communication complicated - in particular when the air conditioning leaked water over the floor and we needed towels to replace the ones we used to clean up the water. The room its self was pretty and a nice size with beautiful windows, but the washroom, although modern looking, had some mold in the shower as well as the ceiling above. Overall a nice place to stay while in rome, but the upkeep is not up to par with the price paid.

Misled - no parking, extra 20 €/day

Selected this hotel from the search results of those that included free parking. Arrived to find there is no parking - free or otherwise. I was told to double park (illegally) until later in the evening when space would be available in a local garage for 20 €/day. Street parking, which was not available, was not free and there were time restrictions that would not work for anyone hoping to actually leave the car at the hotel to go visit Rome. Do not choose this hotel if you will be arriving with a vehicle. The room was adequate and the A/C worked but the staff would turn off the A/C when they cleaned the room. Breakfast was coordinated for 9 am but they showed up with a tray at 8:30 am after they heard us awake (awake but not dressed and not ready for breakfast). Elevator was a plus, even if it was an antique. It was small but functional and beat carrying heavy suitcases up three flights of stairs. Local bus routes are nearby making it easy to reach key points using public transportation but research or guidance is needed to understand the system and which bus/subway train to take.

Great deal, but no parking!

The location of the place is great. A 15 minutes walk the the nearest metro station and to the train terminal. The place is clean, spacious and quiet. The problem is the check-in. There is no one at the place, when you ring, since it is a B&B. You have to call the owner at her cell (luckily, I had a cell). If you have a car, do not stay here. There is no parking. Parking is on the street, which is impossible to find and it is not free (only from 11pm to 8am, if you can find a spot). During the day is is 4 euro for 8 hours, again, if you can find a spot. Also, if you do find a spot, chances are someone has double parked you and you cannot get out until you find out who it belongs to (good luck with that). If you do not have a car, it is a great deal!

A very nice B&B

This B&B was perfect for an inexpensive stay in Rome. Close to major sites, about 15 walk to Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. Its about a half hour walk from the Colosseum but there is a bus stop that takes you right to that area easily. I would definitely stay here again. A great cafe on the corner too for a cappuccino and croissant :)

B&B La Dolce Vita

Pro: This is B&B but nice and clean. It had a nice delicious breakfast every morning at 8 AM. The owner, the young lady was very pleasant, spoke English and was very helpful. The room was clean. Con: It's not a Hotel but a B&B and sometimes at night we heard kids crying because there were families with little kids living in the building. Couple night we heard people coming into the B&B probably drunk and making a lot of noise. A little far from the City. We walked a lot.

Close to all must-see sights

When we arrived, it was in an apartment building. Elevator is kind of outdated and creepy, but that is irrelevant. Once we arrived, the lady immediately gave us a map and explained all the must-see places that were within walking distance and answered all our questions amazingly. (MUST TRY HER FAVOURITE GELATO PLACE - near hotel (5 min walk) --- to die for). Room is much better than the pictures showed but there was a spider near the single bed. Overall, one of my best stays.
