We just got back from a three day stay at Romeo al Babuino.
WOW !
It already started prior to the arrival when Giulio, the owner, send a mail asking whether we wanted a limo service from the airport, obviously same rate as the taxi but no rip off possible. So there we are at Rome airport with a smart italian waving a plate with our name and off we went. I could get used to this.
We arrived and the location could not be better. 100 m to Piazza del populo, at the foot of the park of the Villa Borghese, 400 m away from the Spanish steps. It just keeps rolling...
The place itself was gigantic. Normally in cities like Rome, London or Paris rooms are either small, noisy or small and noisy and obviously overpriced. Here you get big and quiet. And clean. And friendly. Free WiFi in the room as well. What more do you you want ? Oh yes - democratic prices in the mini bar. Unless you consider 1.5 Euro for a can of beer dear.
You live like a roman amongst romans on a very upmarket shopping street. You get the keys to your place and you're on your own. Breakfast seems to be served at a Cafe nearby. We did not bother with it and went (well) to a cafe nearby.
Our suite did have a kitchenette as well, of which we made no use.
Would I recommend this place ? You bet. It's that good I recommend it to my parents. Thanks to a very lenient check out time (what time DO you want to check out) we could keep our room until the last minute, grab a cab this time and head back home from a very pleasant and relaxing time in Rome.
Thanks Giulio !
