The management has changed from the negative posting in 2011. A young, Italian couple are now in charge...he speaks fluent English, she is only Italian, but both are very considerate and helpful. Accomodations were clean, comfortable, and quiet. Ask for room 4....it has the American style large bathroom with full tub and shower. FREE computer available 24/7; nice shaded patio,... More

I did not end up actually staying at this hotel, because after I booked two nights and paid a 10% deposit, I was emailed the next day and told that there had been a mistake on the website and that the fee would actually be twice as much as I had agreed to pay upon booking. They refused to return... More

My partner and I were booked to stay at Christina Rooms but when we arrived we were met and walked 5 mins to Christina's Residence. It is in a relatively quiet street.

The place is located very close to underground station Castro Pretorio (line B) - approximately 10 minutes walk - and to central train station Termini (15 minutes walk). It... More

bath-tub was luxury :) room was very spacious, it had a/c, but the breakfast had a lost to wish for... just a coffee and a couple of crackers- but that's the way it is in italy.. thought it was away from the city center, metro station was 5 min walk, so it was ok, and the neighbourhood was quiet and...

CR was lovely. We arrived and immediately the lady who greeted us gave us instructions of where we should go visit. In particular, the Vatican CIty she suggest as it was going to be closed the following day. This was extremely helpful. She was very friendly. Since this owner owns multiple hostels, we met at another one of her hostels... More
