Really nice B&B - stayed there for a week. Clean, comfortable and in a very nice area - not bang in the centre but sites are within walking distance if you don't mind a bit of a walk. We stayed for 7 nights but for the last night they put us in a smaller room as a larger party were arriving - a little inconvenient but they did give us a discount. Breakfasts are a bit basic and could be improved with some fresh fruit or yogurt - it's all pastry and sugar so not the healthiest! But I would definitely recommend this place.

I travelled to Rome to get married in March 2008. On the recommendation of the priest at St. Patrick's Augustinian Church many of the wedding party stayed at the Boncompagni Suite. Our experience of it was very, very positive. The rooms are a good size, well fitted out, very clean and the staff are very courteous and obliging.

One or two reviews mentioned that the location is not ideal for tourists as it is 10 to 15 walk from the start of the sightseeing areas. I think that for the money and the location (very safe, well kept area) this is a great location. The experience of some of our group was that you can pay hundreds of Euros per night for accommodation in Rome and not get anything like the value offered by Boncompagni Suites in return.

The breakfasts are delivered to your room and are good. The bathroom is a pretty good size and features a good shower. The only slight drawback of the property is that it is on the first floor and while there is a lift I don't think it would accommodate a wheelchair user.

To finish up I could not praise the staff of this hotel enough, they really are the trump card of this establishment. They were so accommodating and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them. They heated our babies bottles every night with no fuss and even assisted us moving the buggies down the short flight of stairs. Stay at the Boncompagni Suites you won't regret it.

Didn't look much from the outside when we first arrived as it doesn’t look like there is a hotel there. Its basically a door with bell leading to apartments & the hotel which is on the first floor. Don't be put off by this, once in its very clean, modern & well presented. For the price I would say it’s difficult to beat, we paid 80 euro’s for double room per night B&B. If you like all the usual hotel features such as lounge bar, large TV, sofa, kettle & iron in rooms then this isn’t for you. But if your purpose is for seeing Rome then great. Breakfast is brought to your room on a tray at your selected time. This was perfect, with a table in your room to sit & relax. No need to get out of bed! Breakfast is just simple so if you’re a big eater then you can easily pick up extra’s from a Spar shop just a street away on Via Tuscona. Rooms are very nicely decorated, simple & stylish with a mini bar with fair priced drinks, good sized bathroom, & TV. The two guys running the hotel were very friendly & gave a great service, nothing was too much hassle. Location is ideal, not right in town centre but just off Via Veneto which has all the fancy hotels & Hardrock Café. Only 10 mins walk to Spanish Steps & about 25 mins to Pantheon.
Taxi drivers just want to rip you off, they tried to charge 65 euros from Ciampino airport which should only be 40 euro’s max. Agree price first.
The hotel also have a driver & charge 50 euro. For the extra 10 euro’s it is guaranteed hassle free. Arrange with hotel directly upon booking.
Our only minor issue was an office underneath was under going a refurbishment so drilling & hammering started at 9am. This was out of the owners control & I would imagine the work will be completed within a week or two. This just helped us get up & out to sight see quicker!
Would definitely stay here again.

I have just got back from a four night stay at Boncompagni Suites and would highly recommended it. Our room was spotless, quiet and modern. The room was warm enough at night, but we had french doors that opened to cool everything down during the day. There was an AC unit but we didn't need it. And the beds were so comfortable, it was almost like being in my own bed!!!!

The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They will bend over backwards to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The hotel is in a quiet location which was good after day's sightseeing. While it isn't right in the centre of town it is close to the sights. You can walk to the Spanish Steps in 10 mins easy stroll, while the metro station and main Termini station are 10 mins down the hill. The lovely Villa Borghese is 2 mins away and it is also close to the Aurelian Walls. There are also two taxi ranks close by.

We found Rome a really easy city to walk around, but when we needed to go a bit further it was much easier to get a taxi to and from the hotel than use the metro. The furthest we went was to Trastevere where all the best bars and restaurants are. In the evening rush hour is cost us 15 euros from the hotel, off peak it was about 7.50.

From the airport to the hotel is 40 euros from Leonardo Da Vinci Airport and 30 from Ciampino. The drivers may try and charge you more but there is a local by-law that fixes the price to 40/30 euros to anywhere within the city walls so stand your ground if they argue!

There are of course a few downsides. The shower wasn't the hottest I've ever experienced but to be fair it is no worse than every Italian hotel I have every stayed in! There are also a couple of topless dancing clubs in the area which tout for business on Friday & Saturday nights. They only seem to bother groups of men and they aren't in any way menacing but they might put some people off. There are also no good restaurants that we found nearby, they are all overpriced tourist traps. Get a taxi to Trastavere instead. Finally, the walk back from the metro station is up quite a steep hill which I had no problem with, but somebody who has trouble walking might want to take into consideration.

So in summary, if you want a clean cheap hotel in a nice area then stay here. The only reason I'd think twice about staying here is if the hill walk to the station was an issue. Next time I'm in Rome I will definitely stay here again.
