This is an apartment converted into three rooms with the kitchen area as the check-in. Stefano is the perfect host and while it is a little hard to find since it is a buzzer to an apartment building, the directions were very clear and Stefano was available when we had questions. The courtyard to the apartment was under construction but when it is done it will be lovely with lemon trees and lots of outdoor space. The room itself was small but very clean. It was great to be able to drop off our bags and get an espresso after a long flight and the price was excellent. It is in the area of Trastevere that is a little more gritty and where the students live but it is an easy bus to the better restaurants and the rest of Rome.

The property is in a very good, quiet place. The place was very clean. The person in charge was always aware of everything. The only thing I didn't like about the property was the darkness. It doesn't have a window. It's a very dark hole, but everything was fine.

Great stay, the place was comfortable, secure, clean and we had a really fun time. The ‘H’ bus runs straight from Termini station (links to the airports) straight to the front door. The owners even WhatsApp’d a video of how to gain access to the apartment. The apartment itself is quiet, comfortable and very agreeable. It is just a nice room with a TV, coffee machine and everything you need. The bathroom is nice and well appointed. It’s everything you need for a day or three away. The area is fabulous, good tram and bus links to Rome, fabulous and affordable shops, cafes and even a garden centre nearby. We never saw the the owner, but communication was top notch and he was very helpful. The place was very affordable too, seriously, what’s not to love? Local restaurants were recommended by the owner, really authentic, great value and a great experience. The local tiramisu shop is a reason to visit in itself!!! Highly recommended, we had great fun and you will too.

The room was beautifully decorated, and extras were appreciated! The location close to Trastevere was beautiful. I found the noise in the middle of the nighttime from outside and neighbours to be very loud so ended up using ear plugs. But the price was perfect! Would recommend for sound sleepers.

We stayed in the family apartment. I had read lots of reviews on the lighthouse suites generally which were all fantastic, but I think those must relate more to the main rooms which are in a different part of the building. The building is a multi story apartment building of old Italian style complete with iron gates and iron elevator. It’s cute and characterful. The owner was fantastic with communication in advance and during and couldn’t have done more to help with transfers and ideas etc… the apartment itself was a bit disappointing though. It wasn’t especially well cleaned and one room had a huge mould patch on the wall which is a health hazard. There is a general damp problem which you can see in the walls and the smell whenever you go in. One bedroom can’t really be ventilated as only one high up window on a pulley. The other room does have a window but you didn’t want to leave it open long because of mosquitos in the courtyard. They could do with mozzie grills over the windows so you can ventilate. There was also a strong drain smell in one room and also the courtyard. Likely more a building issue but still not nice. On a positive the kitchen was well stocked with a coffee machine, fridge and microwave and crockery/glasses/mugs. Although it wasn’t really a communal place you could sit with a glass of wine and relax. The bathrooms were new and although bijou, well done and well stocked with toiletries and thoughtful touches. If they could sort the damp it would be great

Stay was not as great as I am used to. Absolutely no service or wifi in the back room on arrival. Requested room change which was not possible. Had to wait 2-3 days into the trip to get somewhat workable wifi in room. Clothing iron was broken on arrival. Had to ask for warm shower water 3 times and waited almost an hour once, luckily not having any time-sensitive plans. I will give props to staff for attempting to help our issues, however no attempt made to make up for mishaps other than a 5$ breakfast, therefore making it not one of my best stays. Price was not worth the issues that occurred.

The place was clean and nice and in a courtyard off the Main Street Trastevere. Felt safe. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen functional. Bathrooms and showers were very small (cozy) and there was no furniture to sit and relax in the space (chair or couch) only stools. Soaps were provided but not maintained (2 were empty at arrival) but the owner worked to make things right. Would recommend the place for those wanting a 2 bedroom space in a great location. Trastevere is amazing and the access to the train station was great (short walk) where Roma can be easily discovered.

We booked well in advance at an agreed rate of £330 for three nights. Payment “on arrival”.

Before we arrived they took £403 from my account PLUS the agreed £330!!!!!

After a few days they reimbursed the £330 leaving me short of cash for the weekend break AND I was paying £73 more than we had contracted / agreed,

A total CON and we were left feeling very bitter towards the hotel. Deplorable. BE WARNED!

As for the accommodation….

There are three rooms in this guest house. The room we stayed in had practically zero natural light. The very small window was far too high to look out of. It was like staying in a dark poorly ventilated basement - I get clostrophobic and suffered in this cellar.

If you should decide to book this place make sure to ask for the one room that has a “normal” window..

We loved our short stay here! Clean, good facilities and fantastic air conditioning. Walkable from Trastevere train station but also very walkable to the centre of Trastevere (it’s a small city, we found it all walkable!)
Nice, hidden and quite away from the busy night life. We also found the local shops and cafes near by were very good and convenient!
You do have to message via WhatsApp to check in, but Stefano responds quick and informative!
We will be back if we need to do a short trip in Rome again and would recommend to others.

Ideal location

Idealy location short walk from station and a 10 min walk into the main area forshops bars and restaurants. Really good cafe next door for cheap breakfast.
Room perfectly decorated in Roman theme, free coffee and also a bottle per person of water on arrival complimentary which was a nice touch.
As it's a 10 min walk from the main area, this was ideal on an evening as we never heard any noise.
Good instructions on arrival with video on how to check in. The whole experience was good.
The only major downside was that the air conditioning wasnt very strong and qe stayed end of juky ao temperature was over 100 degrees. This is our only complaint. Get better AC and would give it 5 stars

Rome getaway in January

Lighthouse Suites is in a great location for access to buses & trams. It's only a few stops from the train station taking you to Fiumicino Airport and is walking distance to all the restaurents in the old part of Trestevere. The accommodation was quiet, clean and warm with local cafes closeby. We had a minor problem with plumbing which was resolved right away so we would very much reccommend it.

Very convenient and clean room at an affordable rate in an area well served by public transports and relatively close to the city centre. Take bus H from main train station and very frequent tram 8 to reach Piazza Venezia in 10 min. Bars and restaurants just outside the property.

Only downside is the lack of light in the room and in the common area.

When in Rome ...

A little difficult to locate as it's set back from the road beyond communal gardens. The door in photo is beyond the gardens. You need WhatsApp to be buzzed in which we didn’t realise & I hadn’t activated mobile roaming.
The access hassle is worth it because once inside it's lovely. There's a communal kitchen shared with 2 other rooms but our apartment contained everything we needed.
Because it's set back from the road it's really peaceful & there's air conditioning.
The bed was comfy.
There was a small fridge, coffee machine & kettle in the room.
Decor is tasteful & it's recently renovated.
There's bakeries nearby for breakfast & the older Italian guy in the mini mart almost next door sells everything including bus tickets & is very helpful. 3 & 8 buses go to centre. Trastevere is walkable.

Great place, difficult to find.

The hotel was very nice. The only problem is that it was very difficult to find, and get in. Since we checked in late. The owner could not reach us by phone, since my international calling was not working. It would’ve been nice if he had sent an email giving us instructions on what to do. It was pretty stressful until we finally got a hold of someone. Then everything went great the place is fantastic. There should be more signage out front.
