We spent 6 nights at Albergo Giusti in late May 2008 and couldn't find fault with it. Our room was a good size with an en suite and the air conditioning was very welcome in the Rome heat. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful as were the nuns. The location was great - 10 min walk to Roma Termini train station, and to the Colosseum and 5 min walk to the nearest metro station. The neighboruhood was also nice - quite residential with some lovely restaurants and cafes and the supermarket at the end of the street was a great place to buy food and cheap bottled water 33c for 2litres. We paid 90 euros for a twin bedroom.

We stayed at the Albergo Giusti following a twelve day Carnival Freedom cruise and found it to be a wonderful place to stay. We were very pleased with the accommodations and just loved our small balcony. The room was very basic, but spacious and clean and the staff were very helpful with restauraunt suggestions, booking a taxi for transport to the airport when departing, sightseeing suggestions, etc. The breakfast was very good and a great start to our day. The convent was close to several churches and the restaurants in the area were good. We even lucked across a processional and mass with the Pope while dining and exploring the area on Thursday night of our stay which was very moving and something we did not expect. I would not hesitate to stay there again if we are so lucky to get to return to Rome.

My husband and I (Australians) arrived in Rome on 30 Dec. 2008 and spent a wonderful week at Albergo Giusti. Our room was quite large with an ensuite which contained toiletries as supplied by upmarket hotels.

The room was spotless with plenty of hanging and drawer space for our clothes. There was also a desk which we used when writing our postcards.

There was both central heating for winter and airconditioning for summer. We also had a balcony which overlooked the street and we were able to leave the balcony door open during the night as the room was very comfortable.

A supermarket at the end of our small street was useful when we were going out for the day and wanted to take our own food. There is also a laundromat a couple of streets away from the convent.

It took us less than 5 minutes to walk to the local Metro from where we were able to access every tourist spot in Rome. Breakfast (included) was substantial - toast, bread, yoghurt, pastries, juice, tea and coffee, and as in most B and Bs ,this was served downstairs from 7.30 - 9am.

There is also free internet access which proved very handy when we wanted word from our family back home. The 11pm curfew did not worry us as we started our days early and were back at the convent well before curfew. On New Years Eve, curfew was extended to 2am.

The Sisters, although not speaking English, were lovely and the staff on Reception spoke English and were very helpful. The staff have large maps of Rome and are very willing to offer advice and give directions.

On the day we were leaving Rome, we were able to leave our luggage at the Convent while we spent our last hours sightseeing.

We would definately recommend this Convent to our friends and hope to return soon.

Warm friendly staff. Spotlessly clean rooms and bathrooms. Great location. Breakfast is simple. Definitely great value for the price.
