I had never stayed in a guest house before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I booked Residence Stendhal Guest House mainly because of its convenient location near the port in Civitavecchia, and for that purpose, it worked well. I was able to walk to the shuttle station to get to the cruise, which was very helpful.
The room was clean, but very basic. The air conditioner seemed too small for the size of the room, and unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable. The towels looked like they were once white, and I had to ask for an extra one. The chair in the room was usable, but the upholstery was broken, so the room could definitely use some upgrades. Also, the stairs were very dark, which made the property feel less comfortable.
On the positive side, the location is very valuable if you are staying one night before a cruise.
They also offer breakfast, and the gentleman helping with everything, including breakfast, was very friendly and attentive.
Overall, for one night before a cruise, it is okay because of the location, but the room comfort and general condition could be improved.

I don't know where to start. I have not seen the host smiling once. I asked him if he can arrange a taxi for us he refused. Not that helpful at all.
The bathroom was clean. But I am not sure about the room. The floor is too old that I could not tell if it is clean or dirty.
The closet has exactly 3 hangers. Good luck if you have more cloth to hang. No safe case. So you will have to carry your valuable all time. The breakfast is basically some snacks. There is no cup in the room. No large cups in the kitchen for hot drinks.
And the worst part is that you will have to carry your luggage about 30 steps to the room, so good luck if you have mobility issues or any back issue.
The good part is the location. That I give it a good point...

The staff is very rude. He barely look at you. He does not care about the guests at all, even less trying to be helpful.

The towels were starting to rip, bed sheets were very old. The power of the building went out during the night and an alarm was blaring for good 30 minutes. Once power came back on, there were no TV channels available.

The place is well located but it is a floor in a very old building with a very unfriendly staff. The breakfast is a joke with only bananas, danish and a Coffee machine

I would never come back to this hotel and I definitely would not recommend it to anyone!

Only stayed one night because we were leaving on a cruise the next day. No elevator and up 2 flights of stairs with luggage to “reception” which was just a guy at a desk. It appears to be an apartment building where they just converted one floor into some hotel rooms. There’s not even a sign to tell you you’re at the right place or where the entrance is. We had to walk around the building twice and take a chance on how to get in. It was convenient to get to the cruise port and it was good enough for that purpose. But I wouldn’t stay there for any other reason.

Great stopover for outbound or inbound cruisers. Spotlessly clean rooms. Bathroom are modern. This is more a B&B to sleep, grab a quick coffee in the morning and take in the city. Check on was efficient, but it does have restricted times. It is right by the cruise port. 20 min walk. But also some great restaurants, bistro and waterfront cafes to enjoy. Very safe! One special note. You get a key card and 2 keys for your unit. Follow the instructions to understand how to use them. Also a few flights of stairs to come up to the main level. So if you have a large suitcase, be prepared to tag team it up. Well done \" Stendhal!!\"

This place was very spacious. Tall ceilings, tall windows, and more than ample space even with a king size bed. The shower is quite very small however and could be enlarged if the toilet/bidet was moved. Breakfast was nothing more than juices and some pre-packaged danishes. A few fresh croissants did arrive later. Check-in was a little confusing, but other than check-in and shower size, we have. Nothing negative to say.

When I booked, I was unaware of the restricted check-in hours and unavailability to at least drop bags ahead of check-in. Had to schlep my bag with me to business meeting. No one answered the doorbell during posted check-in hours; a kind elderly gentleman/building tenant allowed me into the building. That could have been more problematic but worked out. Breakfast was wanting...bananas, twinkie-like high sugar treats in plastic, and hidden juice in fridge. No attendant present for breakfast to at least assist with, - literally - closeted coffee machine and other potential hot beverage items. Recommend disregarding breakfast offering altogether and just go to one of may nearby bars for very economical Italian Cornetta and coffee. Noticed the area is wired for video surveillance. In the end this place is clean, cheap and I felt very safe. Great option for passers-through looking for a place to bunk down for the night.

The property does not look like a hotel. It is a door in a wall all by itself. You have to buzz the property on what looks like an apartment list with Stendahl being one of the options. The breakfast has no hot options. If going on a cruise it is perfectly located. Walk out the property door and walk straight. Go past the church and keep walking until you get to the gates for the port. It is about a 15 minute walk.

There was nothing we liked about this property. I’ve never said that before but find somewhere else. I was literally looking for another place soon after we arrived. Also, I noticed the manager attacks bad reviews so keep that in mind as the tone of the place. We were locked out and almost could not access the place for the night and they could not care less. You have one set of keys that shuts everything down if one person leaves so you can’t leave AC on if someone stays. I saw a roach in tiny kitchen. Breakfast was a joke and there were bugs flying around. You could hear everything. The location felt unsafe and trash is just thrown at door rather than to side. It may work for one night for people who require nothing or very little. I was asked if that is what a hostel is like. It wasn’t much better. We asked how to get to cruise port and forget getting help although everyone is going there. It seemed so burdensome and the answer was to go down main road. That’s it. I had to ask five times and we still couldn’t find shuttle. Sad :(

Overnight stay

Booked a room for three for an overnight stay. Found out a few days to my stay that I was double booked. The guest house refused to cancel one of the rooms because they were fully booked and notice was too short. They explained that if they were notified earlier they would have given it to another client. They did not know why hotels.com still had them listed as having rooms available on their site. I was bounced between them and hotels.com. Stuck with two rooms. One had a somewhat musty smell but was otherwise clean and well looked after. Rooms are just like in their pictures. Turns out there was just one other room that was occupied by another guest so that left me wondering. Coffee maker had quite a bit of lime scale and could do with some cleaning. Breakfast was fruit, pastries, yogurt as shown in their pictures. Stairs are as shown in their picture, about twenty something or so. Close to train station and short distance from shops, beach. Walking distance to cruise terminal.

Modest lodging on first floor of townhouse without a Residence sign. No lift, so bags had to be carried up a flight of darkened stairs. We were told to give an exact arrival time, which was not possible until we left Rome. Still, a nice enough stay

For future guests :)
1. Entrance is from the side street and locked.
2. Please arrive after 2pm for prompt service.
3. Carrefur minimart is about 1km away for easy shopping.
4. The guest house itself has a great renovated shower and bathroom. Bed is lovely and comfy.
5. Guest house manager/attendant is helpful - he may look stern but he's just being Italian :)

This property is very accessible to dining options, and is walkable to both the train station and the cruise ship terminal shuttles (about .5 miles to each). The area was easily walkable.
The host seemed quite surly and was not particularly responsive, but he did allow us to keep our luggage in the reception area until the afternoon.
The breakfast left a lot to desire.
The room was quite spacious, but very dated and needed some updating. There was no blackout curtain on the window which would have been welcome.

Be no later than 8pm!

We were a group of four people who stayed for one night. The accommodation was very clean and our bed was comfortable, lovely clean sheets and towels. Breakfast was extremely basic. The disappointments were that there are many steps up to the apartment block! The owner will not meet you after 8pm ( or just before), which is it clear when
booking. Unfortunately our luggage didn’t make our connecting flight, which meant waiting for the next flight to arrive, this meant that we would be at the property just after 8pm ( we arrived exactly 8.10pm) , we spoke with the owner as soon as we realised the issue with our luggage and he wouldn't accomodate our needs. Fortunately our friends grabbed a taxi & travelled straight to the accommodation and collected both room keys, else we'd would have had to find different accommodation,! they were kept waiting for the keys to arrive for over 30mins which isn't great because there's no where inside to wait Fortunately it wasn't raining!!! Would we book again! Sadly no, only because of the delay with our luggage and we feel it's safer to use a hotel with 24hr reception and your not kept waiting for thekeys.

A great place to stay, especially if you’re leaving on a cruise! Spacious clean room that is very reasonably priced. Enjoyed talking with the proprietor, Simon, who gave us a great recommendation for a local restaurant. Multiple dining options nearby as well as shopping. Continental style breakfast and the pastries that Simon brings in are outstanding!

There was a fellow American couple staying there while we were there. Please disregard any review that they have left. I think they gave a 2star rating. They were the epitome of the Ugly American. The husband spilled an entire cup of coffee in the breakfast area and then did a half-a$$ed clean up. Also showed up 2 hours after the time they had coordinated with Simon, yet expected him to be there waiting. Just an overbearing American that gives us all a bad name.

Nice stay and would return!

Simon was communicative and asked what time I planned on arriving. He checked me in at 2pm and I was so happy to rest in the privacy of the room with its own bathroom. The location was perfect and close to everything. The morning of check out, I enjoyed espressos and pastries before heading on my way. Thank you Simon!

Property was in close proximity to the port and dining. A little tough to find on a side street. Room was spacious and clean. Shower was a little tight but great hot water and water pressure.
The windows open to let the sea breeze in, beautiful. Close them due to the street noise.

Really hard to find! An old building, that the hotel shares with many private apartments.
It is pretty basic, but clean.
Big downside - the keys are attached to the card that works the electricity- and there’s only one. So if one of you wants/needs to go out, the other person stays back - in the dark!
Wifi slow. Location great - for bars, restaurants, coffee shops. And a short (but very confusing) walk to the free cruise shuttle.

Huge garbage pile.. Like 20 bags by front door is unacceptable. No elevator. Had to drag luggage up 2
3 flights of stairs. Breakfast was poor. Coffee maker horrible. No lights until you get to top level of stairs. No instructions on how to get into building. Rooms in a tenament building.


Room was clean. I would never go back.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Whatever you do, do NOT stay here. I based choosing this \"hotel\" off of the reviews on Expedia. As my son said, \"They must have had their friends and family write the reviews for this place.\" A hostel is better. The beds are incredibly uncomfortable. There was NO hot water in the shower. The toilets were disgusting. The \"breakfast\" is a broken coffee machine and serve-yourself yogurt and pastries. DO NOT STAY HERE. Check out time is 10am, and they make you LEAVE THE PREMISES immediately. It's awful. Absolutely awful. Never, ever, ever again.

Ideal stay over before a cruise

Ideal localtion with a 10 min walk from station and also 10 mins to shuttle bus for taking a cruise. Plenty of bars and restaurants within a short walk from hotel. There are stairs to reception so be mindful when packing, there around 30 steps.
Room was clean with very good AC which was much needed in july. Breakfast basic but ok for a snack before moving onto a cruise.
Communication was good before arrival as they will be there to meet you when you arrive.

Place was advertized as \"hotel\". Instead, it is more like a rooming place. It was difficult to contact them. It was also a hassle to check in...we had to wait on the sidewalk for about 2 hours before the guy showed up. If possible find a different place to stay.
