Just stayed at Arco Del Lauro. Owners, Lorenzo and Daniella,were excellent hosts. They took time to advise on Rome's many locations and bus routes. Their B&B is just a few hundred yards from the Tiber River. All the main tourist attractions are within easy reach by bus or if energetic by foot. The accomodation is spotlessly clean and comfortable with ensuite shower etc. Broadband internet is available free on PC in hall (although not wi-fi in room). Situated in Trastevere, the old part of Rome, don't be put off by the facade of Arco Del Lauro. Once inside it will please. It is also beside a Carabeneri station so it feels safe in the area. I certainly would have no hesitation in recommending it as a handy place to stay when on a short trip to Rome.

thanks to everyone who recommended arco del lauro! b&b. my family of 4 adults and 1 infant had a wonderful time in rome because of its very cental location. the b and b is tucked away in a beautiful part of trastevere. it is very quiet.

the room is extremely spacious even though there were four beds. the first night we had five, so they added another bed for 10 euros. it is very clean and the bathroom is very modern and clean. i think itheir cleanliness is equal to a high level hotel. the only thing is if you have a lot of family members the hot water will run out quickly but maybe it is because we don't know how to conserve, being americans. anyway, we spent four nights there and we loved every day. we walked everywhere and the b&b felt like home away from home.

the first night we drove in from florence and got lost. i had expected to come in 830pm and we arrived closer to midnight. we were stuck about 10 minutes away and i called lorenza, the owner. she was so kind and offered to come to our location to guide us to her b and b. i couldn't figure out exactly where we were so i had to ask someone on the street to talk with her to get our coordinates! thank god for my sister in law's cell phone!

lorenza was so polite and friendly, just as if she saw an old friend. i think most people would be rude and cranky. she even tried to help me find parking and since she didn't see my mom asked to say good bye to her before leaving. my mom was really impressed by that!

i didn't realize but there is a night scene in trastevere but it is about 5 minute walking distance from the b &b. so if you are into clubs and bars, trastevere is good for that on the weekends and then when you are tired you can return to your lodging and find rest.

there is internet and snacks, too. they also change your towels every couple of days.

during the day time you will find daniela who mans the desk in their cosy lobby but for the most part, i didn't see too many folks going in and out. daniella was very nice also and they have many contact numbers in case you need help with anything.

the breakfast is also offered at a cafe around the block and it is very good. there gelato is amazing also! but it is 3 euros but i heard that the natural colored gelatoes are the real deal!

i highly recommend this place because if i returned to roma, i would return.

When you arrive at this B&B you are pleasantly surprised at what you find. This is a hidden treasure in the heart of all the activity. Has great access to transport, restaraunts, site seeing and of course shopping.
Daniella and Lorenza were extremely helpful with some of our needs, Lorenza also makes excellent Limoncello.
We would rebook this B&B if returning to Rome.

This accommodation had exceeded our expectations. Lorenza and Daniella were both delightful. They were very welcoming. Lorenza greeted us on our late Sunday evening arrival.
The rooms were very clean and quite modern. The refreshment area and free internet access were greatly appreciated. Of course Lorenza's limoncello was the best we have ever tasted.
The area of Trastevere is quiet during the day and busy at night with local Italians. There are many great little eateries outside the door.
We would recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to avoid busy central Rome. However, you can easily reach most sights on foot or by public transport.
