What a little gem this place is. We arranged with the B&B for taxi to pick us up from the airport and take us into the B&B, which meant we had no problem finding it, as others seem to have done. We were met by an extremely nice lady, who was there every day and spoke very good English, so we had not problem with communication. The room was large enough and was very clean and airy and also had air conditioning. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was spotless if a bit small, with a plentiful supply of hot water. The breakfast was adequate. It was self service with cakes, fruit juice, bread and coffee available. There was fruit on the day first morning but once that was gone it was not replaced so we bought in our own fruit in. The area around the B&B was a bit rough but at no time did we feel uncomfortable or threatened. We tried the restaurant nearby, recommended by the B&B, the food was dreadful and expensive. There are lots of places to eat and drink in the area, prices and quality vary greatly. The B&B was very close to the termini and was ideal for catching the metro or buses, so getting around central Rome, and further afield, was very easy. We bought a pass in the Termini which lasted for the week (as we stayed for 7 nights) for 16 euros which enabled us to use the any of the buses and the metro at any time, which was great value.
I would certainly recommend this B&B and would defiantly stay there again.

Arriving in Rome by train, this B&B is conveniently situated a few minutes walk from the Termini station.
When looking for this place, you may struggle to find it without the building number as the B&B is in fact a large section of the 4th floor of an unmarked apartment building.
However, it truly is a hidden gem once you've taken the old fashioned lift to the 4th floor.
The lady who runs the establishment greeted us with a warm welcome & guided me around the breakfast kitchen.
She also gave me a map of Rome & pointed out the key sights.
The room was everything we needed. A decent sized shower equipped bathroom, a four poster bed, window blinds that open onto a typical Roman street & even a DVD player with films that when watched at night snuggled with a loved one & the mood lighting, it's perfect!
I'm not sure I will return to Rome as I've seen all I need to see but for all visiting, give this place a try. It's good for couples & families alike.

I really liked this place. Right next to the station, easy walki from the colloseum and the rest. The staff and other guests were very friendly and welcoming. The room was great with a wonderful 4 poster bed. Everything was very clean and modern. More relaxed than a hotel, I prefered it and it was cheaper. No doubt, I will go back and I recommend it without hesitation.

When we arrived at Aena's B&B we, like one of the other reviewers couldn't find it because the numbers nor the name of the B&B are clearly marked. We also thought the street looked a bit dodgey but as we were exhausted from our travel and this B&B was 5 minutes from Termini station (we arrived at Rome via coach from Ciampino airport) its location was a godsend.

We tried to contact Federica (the owner) by mobile phone before we arrived to make sure that someone would be there and; her cleaner was (we never got to meet Federica which was a shame). The cleaner buzzed the door open but never told us which floor we were in thus we waited downstairs in the hope she'd come down and help us with our luggage (she didn't). We buzzed again upstairs and she seemed a bit stroppy about this and asked us to come upstairs to the 4th floor. By this time we were a little peeved to say the least as the lift was the tiniest we've ever seen and smelt a bit odd.

However, she showed us into the entrance of the B&B and we have to state very very clearly that we were absolutely impressed by the decor and cleanliness. It was a little heaven.

We stayed from 21st to 22nd April 2007 and returned on 27th to 28th April. Each time we had a different room and both were extremely comfortable.

The comments about overlooking the inner courtyard of the building are fair comments made by a previous reviewer however this is quite normal for apartments in city locations. Considering where we were the apartments were very quiet.

The dining room is just as you come into the B&B and all around are the other B&B bedrooms. Thus when you come in you do have to consider the other people who maybe staying.

The breakfast was laid out the day before and it looked very nice except I'm not a great lover of the toast or that biscuit bread but nevertheless it was again laid out nicely and looked inviting.

All the comments in the guest book are excellent. We would stay hear again definitely and suggest you do too.

Happy holiday!!
