We spent five nights at this hotel in April and we are still talking about the great find it was. The place must have been a convent in the past. It was still run like one - spotlessly clean, groups of people from Italy and abroad come to see the Pope, obviously, and everyone happy to be there. The room... More

We had previously been to Rome and we tried to book a room with a B&B where we had previously stayed. The owner said she was fully booked and recommended Casa Santa Maria alle Fornaci. Having multiple interactions with her for the past two years I trusted her opinion so we booked a room and I am glad we did.... More

We had to cancel our booking, so bad was this establishment. The photos are completely misleading. This venue is actually more akin to a religious house than an actual B & B / hotel as advertised on another popular site with even more positive reviews than here. First of all, the place is actually a converted 300-year old monastery, though... More

The only proper sentence of this “hilarious” story is placed at the end: pay close attention to on-line reviews. The obvious desire to say necessarily negative things about our structure and our staff by this person clearly clashes with those who are the opinions of many, even many, other guests, as to be minimally credible. Guests who enjoy our hospitality... More

We have several places we like to stay in Rome but they were all booked up for the beginning of Jan. So, we took a chance on Casa Santa Maria alle Fornaci and we were glad we did. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and the hotel staff is friendly and helpful. They speak English, and we decided to... More

This is a former monastery that still lacks any posh comforts. However, the price and location can't be beat in Rome. The beds were okay and the facility was very clean. Rooms have private bathrooms but the walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors conversations quite easily. There is little/no ambient street noise. The front desk is manned... More
