When I think of Bed and Breakfast I think less than lavish but with a personal touch, but the room was actaully the nicest we stayed in our entire honeymoon. The staff was happy to help and the owner even sat with us for a while and recommended a couple sights. So I'd say they provide a lavish feel AND... More

This place is a gem in Rome. The staff is super friendly and you cannot beat the location; it is less than a five minute walk from the Trevi Fountain. The room in which we stayed was quite big, and the accommodations were very clean. The service is excellent and they have great breakfast. You can tell that the owners... More

Based on the many reviews I read, I expected much better. There was nothing really wrong with La Papessa if it had been a 1 star for 100 euro. The three person room was a double and a cot that was barely big enough for an adult. The breakfast room was tiny and sweltering. We stayed at Tre Moschettieri at... More

We were in their new hotel down the street from the La Papessa and it was right off the Corso so we could walk to many of the sites one would want to visit in Rome.

As the name says, it's a guest house; they provide you a nice, big, well decorated and clean room with a bathroom. Continental breakfast also included in the room price.

In short, I agree completely with all the nice descriptions by other guests: The modern and well equipped rooms, the friendly and efficient service etc.etc.etc. Two small comments, though, which apply to many hotels in Rome: Rooms are very well insulated, but nothing can completely stop the sound of an Italian ambulance siren tthrough a narrow street at night.
