Lacking cleanliness, location great

Not the cleanest. Suppose to change towels every 3 days but they forgot. Common kitchenette to share but no basics provided. Table is stacked with objects, so don't count on using it. Messages all over walls telling you how to behave.

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.

A disappointing stay

Disappointing! There was nobody in attendance when we arrived on a Saturday afteroon. Fortunately we met someone who stays in the same apartment block and they contacted the owner who then quickly sent someone to let us in. Our room was not cleaned nor the bed made on a Sunday! The hairdryer stopped working halfway through drying! One bedside lamp was not working.

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.

B&B carino. Alcune cose non funzionavano bene: TV, lampade e wifi. Da rilevare la \"simpatica\" fila di cortesie da bagno utilizzate dagli ospiti precedenti che ancora campeggiavano vuote nella doccia. Per non saper leggere e né scrivere abbiamo ritenuto opportuno comprare lo spray alla candeggina per pulire la doccia.

Quartier calme

Nous avons réservé cet hôtel pour 4 nuitées. Tout d'abord ce n'est pas un hôtel mais plutôt un appart'hotel, nous avons été accueillis par un monsieur très sympathique, qui nous a présenté la chambre qui se trouvait dans un appartement avec d'autres chambres, donc cuisine commune. Nous devions dormir dans une chambre présenté sur le site, spacieuse etc, or nous avons dormi dans une chambre beaucoup plus petite, ce n'est pas un drame... mais c'est à noter. Globalement cela reste un bon appart'hôtel propre, calme etc ..

Unico lato positivo: buona posizione

Siamo stati a Roma per un weekend d'amore, era stato il mio regalo di compleanno al mio compagno che voleva da anni visitare la città eterna. Ho scelto cosi di prenotare una camera con colazione à buffet al \"bed&breakfast\" La Dolce Vita per poter essere liberi di visitare la citta uscendo la mattina con la pancia piena per affrontare una lunga giornata di camminaté sotto al sole.
Riassumendo in poché frasi:
1.checkin incomprensibile con unô straniero ché parlava pochissimo italiano e peggio l'inglese
2.attesa davanti al portone per quasi un'ora (nonostante conferma dell'ora d'arrivo il gg prima)
3. NESSUNA COLAZIONE né buffet né niente!
Anche dopo aver sollecitato non v'é stato alcun.servizio colazione.
4.Lenzuola sporche é cuscini pieni di peli.
5.al.checkin ci han chiesto 21€ di t'as sa invece di 18 indicati sulla prenotazione.

Se non fosse per la buona posizione, davvero un posto da dimenticare!!!

B&B Dolce Vita n'est pas vraiment une DOLCE VITA

-Vieille Chambre avec vieux meubles dans un petit appartement avec 3 chambres.
-Très mal insonorisé !
-Petit-déjeuner infecte et ridicule (voir photo jointe ou il ne manque que le café!!)
Check out à ....10h du matin !!! Par contre quand vous arrivez à 14h30 (heure du check-in est à 14h00 ) vous devez attendre 15h30 que la propriétaire vient ouvrir la porte.
La propriétaire est gentille mais sa fille est très agressive et menaçante si vous osez demander de partir à 11h00 du matin pour avoir le temps de prendre un petit-déjeuner tranquillement avant de faire les bagages. Pour rappel, nous étions en vacances!
B&B Dolce Vita n'est pas vraiment une DOLCE VITA ( vie douce) !

Всё супер, кроме разве завтраков

Отель представляет собой трехкомнатную квартиру с ванной в каждой комнате и общей кухней. Есть большой холодильник, чайник. Можно готовить на плите. Заселяют строго после 15:00. Если приедете раньше трех, то там может никого не быть. Нам повезло, приехали ровно в 08:00, как раз было время завтрака и оставили вещи до 15:00. Жирный минус за завтрак. Всё время дают булки с повидлом. Булки покупные в вакумной упаковке. Но кофе делают вкусное. Весь центр, Колизей и Ватикан 30 минут ходьбы. Недостаток для тех кто будет готовить, очень далеко супермаркет, ближайший у Термини.

落ちついた住宅地にある手頃なＢ＆Ｂ

ひたすら美術館と教会を巡る女一人旅に利用。初ローマで土地勘ありませんでしたが、把握してしまえば観光しやすかったです。宿そのものは普通のアパルトマンの4階の一角だけがB&Bに改修されておりエレベーターで一般住民と乗り合わせたりしました。ですのでアパルトマンの生活音も聞こえますしB&Bの共同スペースの音もつつぬけなので、他の宿泊客によってはうるさいかと思います。部屋のグレードは欧羅巴のふつうの3つ星ホテルと同じくらいだったと思います。シャワーのみの部屋でしたがお湯はちゃんと出ました。掃除もキチンとしてありました。朝食は写真のようなステキなものではないです。欧羅巴の3つ星以下のホテルによくある「袋詰めの大量購入パンとハムチーズ、ヨーグルト」の果物や野菜など生もの一切なしの例の朝食です。B&Bなのでスタッフ常駐も無いですし、金庫もありません。非常灯のような消防設備もみあたりませんでした。そういった不便さは逆に「住むように旅したい」とか「外食ばっかりは疲れる」タイプにはローマは滞在型アパートも少ないのでB&Bもありだと思います。
