My family, some friends and I stayed in this B&B last October. We had two triple rooms in the new part, which was situated few blocks away from the older one. Both of our rooms had just been renovated and were extremely clean. They were spacious and we had all that we needed in the room. Right outside our window... More

My wife and I stayed here May 14th for 3 days, I can say that the staff were very helpful on our arrival showing where the main sites around Rome were located and the best form of travel. Our room was very clean and was the one I requested on booking. Breakfast facility was clean and had plenty of food.... More

My wife, I and older son (40) stayed there in early May. Good basic, clean room and great location and price for Rome. Close to Vatican (1 block) and Metro (2 blocks), plus major transit junction for trams, buses and taxis is on a nearby corner. Our room was on 6th (top) floor) of a condo/apt. The office area was...

We had a party of four-two rooms and we had nothing but the greatest service from all the staff. Close to everything at a great price. Jim from Carlsbad, CA. More

Located right by the Vatican on a busy street. Rooms are simple but clean and quirky in an old mansion block. We shared an entrance and a small kitchenette with one other room. Breakfast ans snacks are available from there - you just help yourself. Staff are friendly and helpful. Surrounding area is nice and local - with some good... More

Ancient Romance was a great experience. The staff was very helpful in making reservations for sites and was great in their assistance. The accomodations were excellent. The mattress could have been a little softer but the food was excellent and always available. They even made cappacino for me. Would definely stay there again. The location is excellent. Right at the... More

If you stay here during the low season (like us - we just got back), this place is extremely good value for money! At 225 euros, I got an entire apartment for ourselves. There are 3 or 4 other bedrooms but they are not occupied so it is really like living in a condo unit with just the two of... More

We stayed in this B&B for 3 nights. The location is amazing. 2 minutes to the tram in one direction, 2 minutes to the metro in the other, and 3 minutes from the Vatican. The room was always very clean but the bed and the bathroom were disappointing. The bed was rather uncomfortable and the pillows were rock hard and... More

We are always very happy to receive reviews from all our guests, and we have always accepted any kind of suggestion in order to always improve our service, but it is sincerely very disappointing reading statements like "Breakfast mainly consists of a cake that is left our all day and was there for all 3 days that we were there",...

Wow, what a great place! We stayed at this place in September 2011. Great location, walk to Vatican in 2 min. Walk to all the transportation just minutes away. Very private. Rooms are very clean, and nice size. Service is very friendly. They take care of you at any time of the day. We lost our luggage, friendly stuff helped... More
