This "luxury B&B" is located in a multi-building apartment complex near the Trastevere railway station and at the south end of the Sunday Porta Portese market. To call it "InTrastevere" is technically accurate but not at all indicative of it being in the part of the Trastevere neighborhood where tourists want to stay. You have to buzz through a gate just to get into a courtyard, then buzz again to enter the building.

The staff here -- who were eastern European, not Italian -- were rude and condescending. While supposedly staffed 24 hours, we often would find no-one at the desk, and the bell was inoperable. So, we helped ourselves to the things we needed from the supply closet -- towels and toilet paper.

Oh the horrors! We were accused of "stealing" because the closet is marked private...though the door was open 24/7. The staff actually refused to give us clean towels daily, and didn't make the bed daily, either. Perhaps they could have spent their time hiring someone to clean the grime from the carpets, or to get the aircon to work properly.

This was hostel-quality accomodation at best. There was no storage space for luggage when I arrived early the first morning, and they did not even want to buzz me in. The beds were basic, the shower tiny, and while there was (apparently) free Internet access, even that was archaic (static IP address for those who care).

Luckily we found that it is only a two block walk from here to the tram line, so the 20-30 minute walk to Piazza Santa Maria Novella was more tolerable, one euro at a time. But that still doesn't make this a worthwhile place to stay -- certainly not at 110 Euros / night.

When I booked this B&B I was a little worried as I'd not read any reviews and this was my first time in Rome.

We booked 3 rooms and they were all fantastic. Very clean and the girl at reception was very helpful. The B&B is located close to the Trastevere station and is in a residential area. It took about 15 mins by bus or metro to get to the main tourist areas.

The taxi driver didn't know where it was so I suggest you print off the directions in Italian! We paid 50 euros per taxi (we had 2) from Ciampino airport,after trying to negociate in my very basic italian! but on our return we booked a 7 seater taxi with the hotel and only paid 60 euros.

Breakfast was served to the room and was very basic but filled a hole before lunch!

Bed & breakfast was only 100 euros per night based on 2 people sharing which is great value for money for Rome.

We were all very impressed considering how much we had paid and would definitely stay here again.
