We stayed for 4 nights and were very happy with the find. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well maintained. The location was superb, right next to the metro station and a 5 minute walk to Vatican city. The rest of central Rome was a 10 to 15 minute walk, making this a great budget option for more independant travellers or those who do not need all of the facilities that a hotel has to offer. The owner was very friendly, provided us with all of the information we needed and also recommended some good local restaurants. I would stay here again if we return to the city, overall an excellent experience.

We stayed at this B&B based on the reviews from this site. It lived up to it's expectation. The best part about this place, is the host, Fabio.
He made all the difference in our stay in Rome. He mapped out a course for us to walk, recommended two of the best restaurants to eat in, real local places and gave us directions for parking and getting to the airport. The breakfast was good, and the beds very comfortable. The place is not fancy, but rather like a home. I would stay here again and wish Fabio all the best.

I liked everything about Federici B&B. Fabio, the friendly proprietor, keeps its very clean. Jet lag was no problem because the bed was very comfortable and the ceiling fan kept the air fresh. The Vatican is a short walk away and the Ottaviano Metro stop is just outside the front door, making it easy to get around Rome. When asked, Fabio gave me a thorough briefing on Italian politics, as well as telling me about an excellent Sicilian take-out restaurant nearby and the best gelateria. He also pointed out the phone center-Internet cafe around the corner, where I could call the US for only 12 cents a minute. I look forward to staying at Federici B&B again.

This B&B is great!!

This was my first trip to Italy however my travel companion had stayed at Federici before. The hotel is right outside the Metro station for St Peters (the actual name of the station escapes me right now) however it means the location of Federici takes a lot to be beaten. It also helps you are that close to the Vatican museum so you can there early and avoid the massive queue later in the day.

Our room was lovely with a well appointed en-suite and it was cleaned regularly. Breakfast was nice and you have a chance to speak to other guests around the one big breakfast table.

There are plenty of nice restaurants around and after dinner you can grab an ice cream and wonder around St Peters.

All in all, service, location, bedroom all great and would recommend to anyone who wants to stay somewhere that's not a bland and boring corporate hotel.
