69 Manin was all round pretty good. My fiancee and I stayed for 2 nights in mid-October. it was great because it was so close to the Termini train station which makes getting around very easy. Very nice rooms with a cool shower, but not as "steam shower" as they make it sound. it was great to have english TV and the bed was extremely comfortable. it was odd that the website we used said the hotel was a B&B but the breakfast wasn't included in the price. it only cost 5 euros though and was pretty good. the staff was very nice but not around very much so it was tough to get info or DVDs when you wanted them. All round, it was very nice but a little more than we wanted to spend after staying in a hostel 2 streets over that had just as much for a lot less money.

This is a lovely place to stay in Rome. The b and b is very safe and comfortable. The staff were always so helpful and tidied and cleaned the room to a high standard each day. The location is perfect for sight see-ers , all major atractions can be done on foot. Would stay here again.

Overall we were very impressed with this B&B - the room (and the shower!) was definitely above average for the price we paid. Its location was also very good and the service on the first day was very helpful and friendly.

A couple of issues though - on the first day, the lift to the third floor broke down while we and another couple were in there, as well as our suitcase. While there is no doubt we were below the advertised weight limit, we were stuck in the (very small and hot) lift for half an hour waiting for someone to come and fix it. The lift was eventually sent down to the ground floor, meaning we had to carry our suitcase up three flights of stairs anyway! We weren't particularly offered anything by way of compensation, even though I was quite distressed by the time we reached the B&B.

Also, despite it being a 'bed and breakfast' we were provided with a small breakfast in our room ONLY on the first day, being told that it was not provided on subsequent days. To me this seemed like a bit of a breach of advertising!

Despite this, overall we had a very pleasant stay, especially for the price.

The price was right, as far as we were concerned so was the location. A ten minute walk to the Colloseum. We stayed last Summer 2007 in the middle of an August heatwave. There were extensive renovations in progress to the outer shell of the building, but the inside of the BB was spotless. Clean room, a small but well functioning bathroom. Very secure. An adequate breakfast is served in the room. Local restaurants in the street outside and around are plentiful for evening meals. Close to the Terminii for the underground or taxi's to get around. Never any problems.
