It was a fantastic stay. We had the room with the private bathroom which was perfect. We were three adults traveling together. The bathroom toilet area was a little small but it was clean and well maintained.
We loved the property location. Easy access to a lot of restaurants, stores, etc.

El hotel muy bien ubicado, muy cerca del Vaticano, al lado de la entrada del metro Ottaviano. No tiene un front desk o entrada como otros hoteles, el 1er día no encontrábamos la entrada, pero el staff es muy cooperativo y si necesitas algo ellos te ayudan. El cuarto amplio con closets y gavetero espacioso, el baño funcional, muy buen aire acondicionado!
Louis
Clean room, charged city tax in cash only, not ADA compliant (eg stairs); breakfast was limit/small and outside the exterior door, and bathroom was small (width).
Good location and easy to get to places.

The property i in a great location, convenient to walk to all landmarks but also has a Metro just outside for those not keen on walking, property is clean but old, spoilt for choice for food & drinks just outside, we thought there was an inclusive breakfast available but there isn't, we asked if we could get a kettle & iron & when we returned from 1st day out kettle, coffee, iron & board were all there, its a great place as a sleeping & changing base.
Francisco
Great service, clean and quiet. Small elevator.
Rasheeda
The location is good and the space was clean, with reliable air conditioning and WiFi. I stayed in the one-bedroom unit; however, the bathroom was extremely small—I’m 5’7” and had to use it sideways. Despite being called a bed & breakfast, no breakfast was offered. I appreciated having restaurants and convenience stores just downstairs, and the host was always very responsive.
If you’re seeking luxury accommodations, this may not be the place for you, but if convenience and proximity to main attractions are your priorities, this is a solid choice.

Great location.
Amazing location steps away from shopping and metro. Vatican museum short walk away. Spacious and comfortable room.
Court
The most unremarkable place I’ve ever stayed. Close walking distance to Vatican City. Up 5 flights of stairs. Need keys to *leave* building which is surely against fire code. No way to contact staff. Ugly furnishings and a terrible yellow-greenwall colour that hurts your eyes to look at, and almost no natural light through a small obscured courtyard window. Unless you’re paying hostel rates, look elsewhere.
Stefanie
This property is listed as a bed and breakfast, but no breakfast was served, even though there is a picture of breakfast within pictures shown of the property. This property would be better listed as a Guest Room. However, property was clean and the managers were pleasant and accommodating.
Rogelio
We had the privilege of staying for a few days at this hotel and the privilege of meeting Marica she was very attentive, and we were very pleased with her professionalism and how she took care of us. I will highly recommend this hotel to our friends.

Best accomodation in Rome
The hotel is good and near to MRT and bus stops. Also near the Vatican as advertised. The room is clean and safe.
Alanieta
Best thing about this place is its close location to the Vatican Museum literally 8minutes walk. However there is a smell outside of the rooms that’s kind of musty and it’s so dark. Host was good though.
It has a lift and an air conditioner. But they didn’t change the towels nor cleaned the rooms upon request.

Giordano was our host, he was the best! So welcoming and helpful! The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The area is spectacular! Next to lots of restaurants, grocery stores and a metro station. A 5-minute walk to Vatican city! Plus the breakfast was delicious! Our first time in Rome and it was fantastic! We will definitely be back and staying here! :)

We didn't know what to expect with this gem, but it was a perfect space to stay for us. It's located right by the Vatican (same Metro stop, about 5 minutes walking) but in a fairly residential neighborhood. It's both right where you want to be and a little bit quieter. You are 10 ft from the Metro station on the orange line, which is 4 quick stops from the Central Station and everything else you want to see (besides the Vatican) in Rome.
Giordani makes a nice simple continental breakfast with fresh warm croissants and toast, coffee and juice. It's lovely.
The place is suuuper clean and private. We had a lovely stay.

This place exceeded my expectations! It was literally right next to the train station so was super easy to get around Rome. The Vatican City was only 5-10 mins walking distance. And the Castel sant’ Angelo was also close by. The service was wonderful and breakfast was served right to your room!

Our host was very gracious and helpful. If you want a classic Italian atmosphere while staying in Rome this is the place.

Super clean space with a beautiful balcony, open kitchen with water bottles and snacks. Easy to find the building and Marianna was very hospitable.

The staff Giordano was so friendly and accommodating. The place is close to the train station which gave us easy access everywhere. It is also a walking distance to the Vatican which saved me much time and money.

Great Italian hospitality!
My daughters stayed at the Tesoro and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was warm and authentic and the daily breakfast in the bedroom made them feel very cared for. Highly recommended!
José Augusto
Great location and warm staff
Service was really nice. Giordano was waiting for us to check in, was helpful with tips and always friendly. The hotel is very close to the Vatican and right at a subway station, so the location could hardly be better. Very comfortable beds (we had a twin room), very clean, and the room was in general quite nice. I can only recommend it.
William
Good place to stay. Basic breakfast/ two slices of toast and cake. One piece of butter/ The fact you never got any choice ruined it for us. Loved Rome. Never was offered any more. Felt a bit out even asking for an extra coffee.

This b&b was right next to the metro and an easy walk to the Vatican. The manager of the property was wonderful, he treated us to an excellent Italian breakfast and was generally helpful.
Verified traveler
For the price, this is very good. The owner lives nearby, not at the B & B. There is no access to kitchen facilities. Breakfast is a typical continental breakfast.. coffee, a croissant, toasted white bread and jam served in your room. Two rooms share a bath. One room has an ensuite. Shared bath has a step up into it. You need to lean over to lock the door or open it due to the step. It is large but beware that floor is slippery when wet.
There is no common area. Rooms are large with a table and chairs an d a sofa. Only one suitcase rack in our twin room.
Located on the 5th floor with very small and slow elevator. Steps up to elevator and door to B&B suite. Lots of keys!
Overall it is very clean and beds are reasonably comfortable.
Very close to the Vatican and steps from Metro. Good restaurants and shopping close by.

Great stay.
The location was perfect to see the sites. The Metro stop was located next to the B&B. The rooms were cleaned daily. They were very helpful and spoke English. The breakfast was nice and brought to the room.
Elizabeth
Perfect location and quiet. We enjoyed our stay greatly.
Babsi
Lovely place to stay, clean, comfy and the breakfast and cappuccino were so nicely done. Close to the metro or half hour walk from city center. The Vatican is practically next door and if you prefer a no line waiting tour, they will hook you up with a wonderful tour. We loved it! Will stay there again.
Erica
This place is great, if you are looking for a moderately priced place, I highly recommend. Less than a minute from a very convenient metro station, and less than ten minute walk to the Vatican. The free breakfast was delicious. And my room had a cute little balcony with a view of the city that I absolutely adored.

This B&B is very well located next to the Metro entrance, few blocks from Vatican City, and having a Carrefour Express market 1 block away.
The room is very comfortable with a very good and big mattress bed, and a very cold AC.
The host, Giovanni, is a very nice and helpful person that tries to resolve any issues you may have with getting around Rome. He is kind and educated and will go an extra step to make your staying comfortable and fun.
I highly recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to stay in this area of Rome.

A good budget-friendly option near the Vatican
Very conveniently located by a Metro stop, ten minutes walking to Vatican City sights. We had a shared bathroom but it was large and clean. The room was also large and clean. Bed wasn't super comfortable, but as a budget friendly option, that was something we were willing to accept. Breakfast in the morning was just croissants and toast (Italians don't really \"do\" breakfast), but was a nice perk nonetheless.The manager had told us we could leave our luggage behind after we checked out. We had a very late/early morning flight and so wanted to leave it until about 9 that evening, but were then told we'd need to come for it by before dinner, which cut into our plans a little bit. Kind of annoying, as I don't see how it was inconveniencing anyone, but c'est la vie. Overall a good budget-friendly place to stay in Rome!

Nice cosy hotel, near the Vatican
We stayed in a nice room on the top floor of a building, 10 minutes walk from the Vatican.
The owner was excellent, he helped us get orientated with a tourist map and suggested places to visit during our stay.
Nice continental breakfast each morning with Coffee.
Overall highly recommended for a short city break in Rome.

Best accommodation in Rome!
Il Tesoro is a very pleasant stay, the room is absolutely clean and full of natural light. The location is very convenient with a metro station right out side the building. Giordano, the manager, is super friendly and helpful. I have stayed there 2 times, once last year 2017 and now 2018, if I return to Rome one day I will stay there again! 100% recommended!

Not Where We Booked But Very Nice None The Less...
We found the hotel with absolute ease, being literally just outside the Ottaviano metro station. We had travelled from Ciampino Airport to the digs in no more than about 45 minutes to an hour and cost us €2.70. However, because of a problem with the hot water we had to be moved to a separate location the Laocoonte. Which was beautiful, not very far away and run by the same friendly people. I feel it unfair to give a fuller review as I can't review the hotel we booked because we didn't actually stay there. However the experience was superb. The location of both sites is right on top of a metro station and so close to St. Peter's and the Vatican Museum.
Problems occur, things go wrong, stuff breaks. But it's how problems are dealt with that marks good customer service and we were treated marvellously.

Great experience, wonderful service
The owner of Il Tesoro was very welcoming, hospitable, and extremely friendly. My sister and I had a delightful overall experience. Specifically, we loved the continental breakfast that was brought to our room each morning. We so enjoyed our stay; it was difficult to leave! 10/10 would recommend. We raved about our stay at this room when we made it back to the US! We would definitely stay again.

Better than the Vatican?
Charming hotel on the fifth floor, accessible by the underground (Ottaviano). Five minute walk to Vatican City and St Peter's Basilica. Area is safe and interesting; not too touristy, plenty of great places to eat with a local atmosphere.
Our host Giordano was very friendly and helpful; serving us a breakfast of fresh coffee, toast with marmalades and butter, and A* croissants in the morning to our room. Bathroom (shared) was very clean and spacious. Good shower with plenty of pressure and hot water. Our room was equally clean and also especially quiet. I noticed there was air conditioning, but we didn't need it. Wifi was rapid – almost as if we were using the Vatican's own private server. Very reasonably priced to top it off.

Nice property and great location. Just steps from the metro. Our host was so nice and very helpful. Good with helping with our luggage and explaining how to get around when we first arrived. Breakfasts were nice and very much enjoyed eating on the rooftop terrace with views to Vatican City and around Rome. He arranged for a shuttle back to the airport when we were leaving. Room was fairly large and comfortable. Air conditioning was nice.

Surprising treat
We had a fantastic stay at the B&B with very friendly and helpful hosts who went out of their way to help how they could. I was not aware that the host did not actually live at the property but they arrived early each morning to prepare the simple but very filling breakfast. It would have been good to have access to the kitchen to make tea for ourselves in the evening though. The location was fantastic being steps away from an underground station and street market and a few minutes walk from the Vatican.
Darlene
Affordable and clean
This is a bed & breakfast in an apartment building about six blocks from St. Peter's Square, so it is more convenient for those concentrating on the Vatican and Vatican museums. You will have to travel a few stops on the subway or be a good walker to get to the Pantheon or Coliseum. It is clean with a helpful staff, and it is small. You may have to share a bathroom, but it is affordable for Rome.
Good wifi, and you may have breakfast on a nice terrace or in your room.

This was a birthday getaway for my wife. We enjoyed the B&B and its location.
Everything was fine and as expected. The only disadvantage is that there is no small kitchen for guests which would definitely come in handy.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE
This was awful experience. We did not have hot water for two full days. When we communicated this to the owner, he did not take any steps to eliminate this problem. When we paid the bill, we asked for discounts. The owner did not offer any discounts.
Breakfast was also awful. It should have been served starting at 8.00. However, the serving lady started serving the breakfast not sooner than 8.45 am. She also behaved very aggressively.

A few changes would make this B&B much better
This is a fifth floor pension with a small lift. The good points: nice breakfast served in your room or on roof deck, cheap for Rome, room is kept clean, good Vatican side of river location. The bad points: no on-site management, like a true B&B. I must say, though, that the owner lives near by and is quick to respond to calls or emails. The first night of our stay, there was no hot water. Evidently, this was due to the fact that someone had forgotten to turn on the hot water heater. The bathroom is clean and works, but it is bare minimum, very small. The biggest problem is that there are way too many keys. There is a key to get in the front door, a key to get in the lobby door, a key for the very small lift, a key to get into the pension suite, and a key to get into the room. One day we encountered a problem with the lobby door, the key broke off in the lock. We were able to go into a near-by shop, call the owner, who came by and let us in. The problem I have with that is that this lock had not been working properly and should have been dealt with.
So, over-all, I would say that on future trips to Rome, I would look for other places to stay that would present fewer problems.

It's a good choice I made. This B&B is close to Vaticano and the metro station, perfect location! Room is big, owners and housekeeping lady are very warm-hearted. Breakfast in the sunshine roof is perfect!
Collin
Great location and breakfast service
The best part was the morning breakfast. It was an unexpected delight (not mentioned on the site). The cappuccinos were fantastic! We were able to enjoy breakfast on the rooftop in the morning sun. The rooms were comfortable and almost completely sound proof from the street. I didn't realize that 2 of the rooms share a bathroom, but this was not a big deal as we ran into this various times at b&bs in Europe.

Great Location If You Wanna Take The Metro!
This place is very clean and very Italian. We enjoy staying here and most definitely return. You walk out the door and there is the entrance to the metro it couldn't get any more convenient. Owner is very nice and helpful. Very close to Vatican and Sistine Chapel museum. 15 Min Metro ride to Colosseum and roman forum. Very closed to Spanish steps, Trevi fountain and lot more. Great Place period.

It is 5 minutes walk from Vatican and 10 seconds from the metro entrance (so it took us only 1h to get there from Fiumicino by train and metro).
Room is very basic, with shared bathroom (as in description), tiny tv (didn't have a chance to switch it on anyway). It is on 5th floor so the noise from the street did not affect us.
Breakfast is very continental - tea, juice, yogurt and microwaved croissant, we like breakfast so we ended up having a proper one outside.
Place is old (would do with some refreshment) but very clean.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Internet worked very well.
If it is warm enough don't miss breakfast on the terrace on the roof, we liked the experience.

Excellent location and staff
We loved our 4 nights here, and looked forward to the breakfast each morning. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Metro was just downstairs and it is a short walk from the Vatican. Comfortable, safe, and quiet enough. Highly recommend to stay here before spending more in the center of Ancient Rome (it is an easy 1.50€ metro ride to the central sites).

Excellent price-quality ratio
We spent 4 nights at the B&B Il Tesoro. The B&B is conveniently located close to a Metro station and 10 mins walk to the Vatican. The room is large, the shared bathroom worked very smoothly and the atmosphere homey. We strongly recommend it.

Would stay there again.
A nice B&B with pleasant and helpful staff. Breakfast was the same every morning, which may get a little dull for a longer stay, but was fine for our long weekend. Nice roof terrace. It's on the 5th floor, but there is a little lift to save walking up all those stairs! Don't take their airport shuttle though (50 euro). If you just hail a taxi on the street it will be much cheaper as its a fixed rate of 30 euro.

Almost like having your own apartment in Rome
My wife and I honeymooned in Rome, and the Il Tesoro played a big role in making it a very romantic trip. Our room was very comfortable and spacious, with loads of European charm. That's not to say it was opulent, but the marble floors, queen-size bed, and our own balcony overlooking the street 6 floors below gave it a distinct personality. Yes, we had to share a bathroom with the room next door but that almost never posed an issue. The bathroom itself had clearly been updated recently, and was attractive and clean. By far the biggest selling point for us was the small rooftop terrace, accessible by a short stairway. We ended up spending every afternoon there with a bottle of wine, resting and taking in the sights from our high perch. At night, the glowing dome of St. Peter's Basilica can clearly been seen nearby. The \"staff\" during our stay consisted of one young woman, who kept the place running smoothly, and brought us our breakfast on the terrace each morning. We could have spent more on another hotel, but honestly, I'm not sure we could have had much more fun. One note about the location of the Il Tesoro: the neighborhood, Prati, is very close to the Vatican - perhaps a 10 minute leisurely stroll - but not particularly near any other tourist attractions. That said, there's a convenient metro stop only feet from the front door, and one we made use of several times. There are a number of wonderful restaurants in the neighborhood as well, and some great shopping.

Excellent location, 5 min to Vatican
The appartment is located on 5th floor and right next to metro station. Owner met us downstairs even thought we arrived one hour later than expected. Very clean and peaceful place. There are three rooms in the appartment. Two rooms share one bathroom, and one room has its own bathroom. We stayed in the room with shared bathroom and had no inconveniece at all. We never met the couple that lived in the other room. There is cute terrace on the roof, one can get there right from the appartment. In general, lovely place and good value for the money.

My Il Tesoro Experience
I really enjoyed my stay. I came with my mother on our family vacation to Europe and on our stop in Rome, we stayed here. We had a few difficulties upon our arrival, but everything was sorted out. When we got in, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. There were also free maps of Rome and also free internet wifi available as well as cable. This place is also in a very nice part of Rome, which is the Prati neighborhood. I will definitely visit this place when I get another opportunity to do so.

Next door to the Vatican!
Honestly, this was one of the best hotels/B & Bs I have ever stayed in. I went with my godmother from Ireland to spend 3 days touring Rome. The Vatican was next door and it was right near the river. Literally on the corner where there is also a subway station. The owner is so nice and accommodating as well! This place is clean, center-city and serves breakfast on the terrace, which overlooks the Basilica! I am so delighted I chose to stay here.

Perfect location
Great B & B only ten minute walk from the Vatican. Plenty of shops, restaurants and street vendors around to enjoy. Right next to the metro for easy access to the rest of Rome sights. The room was comfortable (great mattress!) and roomy enough for the two of us with everything we needed. Breakfast is sufficient and on the beautiful terrace. Only issue was two nights of our stay the doorbell was rung loudly for a few minutes at 3am and woke us... But we fell right back asleep. No 24 hour staff present which was fine for us. Enjoyed they stay overall and would recommend to a friend!

Reasonable price, great service, great location
Great location right by metro and ten mins from Vatican. The guy was lovely, friendly, helpful. Room was big, plenty of storage, air conditioned. We had the double with private bathroom. 5th floor, but has a lift. Definitely recommend for a cheaper stay.

Good value for money
Location is good, this B&B is very close to the metrostation, in fact it is around 10m away. Convenient for the vatican and surrounded by some reasonable restaurants and gelato places though a few of these, as typical in Italy, are closed for August. The rooms are impressive and spacious with all mod cons, tv, air con etc. The place itself is small and on the fifth floor with only three rooms, two of which share a bathroom. It is quiet at night and generally peaceful. Breakfast was good with hot drinks, juice, pastries, yoghurts and such. One of my only criticisms is the number of keys you need to get into your room, five no less! There were also occasionally handbag salesmen camped outside of the front door. This B&B however left a positive impression and because of the value for money would happily stay there again if I was to return to Rome.

A true treasure four blocks from St. Peters
It was everything I expected. It is not a hotel, it is an apartment that the owner rents out the rooms. But he keeps the place immaculately clean, and we had no problems in sharing a bathroom with the guests next door. The wifi worked with no problems and it reached 3mb/s which is quite good for Italy's standards.
Some may have issue with dealing with 5 keys to get in and out, but we had no problems. The breakfast is quite simple but the coffee is good and it is enough to call it a B&B.
The manager arranged our transportation to the airport and at 6:00 AM sharp the driver was waiting for us downstairs, charged the correct amount and got us there in 20 minutes.
All I can say is - keep up the good work, the place lives up to its name.
