Agnes was very rude about the rooms. I purchased a room online and was given a different room. When telling Agnes about this, she was not cooperative at all. This was a terrible experience. I would not recommend staying here.

It’s Okay
It’s in a neighborhood that’s local so not too bad. A tad sketchy, but as long as you’re in daytime it should be fine. Very close to train station like 3 - 6minutes walk but at night the noise is insane so if you have very light sleep be careful. The AC isn’t that cold so if you’re from anerica lol have lower expectation. No reception to give you keys it’s self check in which I don’t mind. It’s definitely not a true B&B it’s more like an Airbnb as the breakfast is not really a breakfast. You have to go across the street to a cafeteria and you’re only allowed for 1 coffee 1 croissant and 3 cookies. The people that work there were a little bit surprised when we asked. I don’t eat sweets for breakfast so for me that was a waste of money. They don’t even give you any of the above unless you ask for it. The building is residential so with a baby I was very worried. I recommend to stay closer to Termini if you are on a budget than Ostiense. I could possibly stay in Ostiense again but just to explore the more local areas Overall if you’re single and don’t mind noise and no cold AC it’s ok for the price. If you’re a family not the best spot because you will struggle a lot with the stroller.

Great stay
Very friendly and helpful owners of the b&b. Very comfortable and sone great olaces around to have pizza and ice cream. Close to trains and ciampino airport. B&b is on 10th floor with a nice view. Our bathroom was in the hall but it wasn't a big problem for us. Very clean and looked after. Handy guide around rome made from the owners. Breakfast included was a croissant with a coffe in lively restaurant just minute away from b&b. Missing Rome already

Lovely stay
Lovely cosy room in B&B. Bed is comfortable and great balcony. Our host Agnes was very lovely and super helpful. Check out was at 11 but she let us keep our bags there till 5 so we weren’t carrying them around Rome all day. The cafe she gives you vouchers for is lovely, you get a hot drink and a croissant ☺️ Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Agnes!

Clean, Basic Accommodation near ROMA OSTIENSE Rail
I needed a bed/bath which was accessible by Trenitalia - specifically the Roma Ostiense station. It is a three (3) unit guest house, on the tenth (10th) floor of an older apartment block, now a condo. The room and bath were very clean and comfortable. The surrounding neighbourhood was interesting, with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. I would stay there again and recommend it others seeking this type of accommodation. My only advice would be to ensure that you are clear on the location, if arriving by train.

Best Deal in Rome — Ideal Location
I'm so glad I found this place on Expedia! I was looking for a place to stay in Testaccio near Piramide. At first, I didn't realize it was listed under Aventino in Expedia. Aventino (Aventine Hill) is the wealthy area of Rome. City Lights is near there, but in a working class residential area on the other side of the pyramid/Piradmide Metro station. City Lights is on Via Ostiense, which is the main drag of a gentrifying, fun neighborhood with tons of great restaurants/cafes. The night life neighborhood around the pyramid is a 5-10 minute walk. City Lights is 2 blocks from the train station & 3 from the Metro stop, so it's easy to get here from FCO, and then to get all around Rome by Metro or bus. My favorite part of the location is its proximity to Eataly — the temple to Italian cuisine! They have foods typical to each area in Italy & bring them all together into a huge supermarket. There are several restaurants there, each dedicated to different cuisine. It's a great place to find distinctive gifts at good prices to bring home. Food here costs the same as the average restaurant (& much less than tourist traps). It's just a 5 minute walk from City Lights. The room itself is very comfortable & stylishly appointed. The bed is comfy. It's quiet enough. There's lots of room to spread out & places to unpack your stuff. The bathroom is modern, private. Agnes is very nice & helpful. The included breakfast is quite good & in a cool cafe next to the entrance to City Lights.

My wife and I stayed here for five nights as part of our honeymoon trip. The owners have a total of three rooms here and we're very hospitable. No one was there when we arrived, but they showed up within 30 minutes of calling and offered to take us out for drinks in a nearby neighborhood while the room was being cleaned. The neighborhood is decently busy and there is a lot of graffiti, but we felt very safe walking around into the evening hours. We chose to sleep with the backdoor/windows closed because of the busy street (honking) and train tracks just down the block from the building, from did not mind this because the room had AC. Overall a great stay and would stay there again. Note: the gelato shop just kitty-corner to the hotel is awesome!!

Die Sauberkeit des Badezimmers hat leider etwas zu Wünschen übrig gelassen. Ansonsten eine schlichte, aber ordentliche Unterkunft, mit sehr guter Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Aufgrund einiger Baustellen im Umkreis, war der Lärmpegel trotz 10. Etage leider recht hoch. Wenn man jedoch den ganzen Tag unterwegs ist und nur zum Schlafen in der Unterkunft, lässt es sich gut aushalten. Wer sich auf ein kontinetales Frühstück freut, wird heir leider enttäuscht. Das Frühstück wird in einem nahegelegenen Café serviert und besteht aus einem Kaffee/Cappuccino, einem Croissant und Cookies.

Happy to italy trip!!
이 숙소는 체크인데스크가 없어서 셀프체크를 해야하는데 이메일로 응답이 빠르고 친절히 설명해주셔서 좋았습니다. 다만 현관문을 열때 사용하는 리모콘 키를 작동하기 어려웠습니다. 그리고 테라스에 시티뷰가 보여서 아름다웠고 요즘날씨에는 밤에 자기 살짝 춥습니다. 테라스로 나가는 창문이 밖에서는 잡을수 있는 손잡이가 없어 닫을수 없습니다. 로마메인에서 살짝 거리가 있지만 그만큼 현지인들이 많이 사는거 같고 모두들 친절히 대해주셔서 감사하고 기분이 좋았습니다. 감사합니다 Happy to italy trip!

A very nice B&B, very comfortable! The location is a bit off the city center but just 2 stations away by metro from the Coliseo and easy to get to FCO airport by train. It's a quite residential area, full of nice and good coffee shops, pizzerias and trendy restaurants .... away from the classic spots (and sometimes tourist traps) in downtown Roma.
