After 6 months renovation, B&B Tolentino is back in business. All rooms now have private baths. Nicely decorated, reasonably priced, good breakfast (served in room - no dining area), convenient location with a knowledgeable and pleasant host, "Joey". Hot water was "spotty" but Joey advised a second tank was being installed to resolve that (the ONLY) problem. The elevator works and the neighborhood is actually QUIET! Would defineately return.

The Tolentino B&B is in a beautifully restored 200 year old mansion turned apartment/office building. With an excellent location, just off Piazza Barberini, next door to the Hotel Barberini and sheik Via Veneto, half a block from the metro and major bus stops. Short walking distance to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, other major attractions, shopping areas, many restaurants, a coin laundry/drycleaner and romantic streets and alleys to stroll at night. There’s a great little grocery store at street level.

We rented the room with the in-room bathroom, other rooms have private bathrooms but across the hall from the rooms. Our room was very spacious, plenty of closet space, a desk, TV, bathtub with water jets, two windows facing an internal courtyard and a king size bed. I would have appreciated additional pillows but this was only a minor issue, I’m accustomed to sleeping with three pillows at home. There are only 3 rooms in the Tolentino, although all the rooms were occupied it was very quiet and peaceful. Next January the B&B will be remodeled and 2 additional rooms will be added. The breakfast is ok but if you like big breakfasts you may want to walk to a nearby café.

Joey the caretaker is a very nice and helpful person, any questions that you may have he’ll have the answer. He is very knowledgeable about Rome and can help you with transportation options, restaurants & shopping suggestions, etc.

The WIFI reception in our room was weak, the reception may be stronger in the common areas but I didn’t try. I connected to a stronger unprotected WIFI access point that worked very well. However, I don’t recommend this unless you have a good in & out traffic firewall and a VPN connection, otherwise your computer and it’s contents will be at risk.

We highly recommend the Tolentino B&B, we will definitely book it again when we return to Rome.

Family of 4 travelled Europe June/July 07 and spent 3 nights in Rome at the Tolentino Bed and Breakfast. Lovely spacious accommodation (which is unheard of in Europe), fantastic position convenient to many sites and public transport, great restaurants very close, extremely kind and helpful staff who couldn't do enought for us. Coffee fantastic but breakfast a little disappointing. Would certainly return to this accommodation and recomend it to others.

B&B Tolentino is in an ideal location for seeing all of Romes major sites. The Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Coloseum are all within easy walking distance and if the weather is good you can walk to The Vatican. If you get here late in the day and don't fancy going to far we'd recommend have a couple of beers on the otherside of Piazza Barberini in Pepy's American Bar where you can sit outside on the pavement and watch the traffic whizz by! We had a great stay here, Joey who runs the hotel speaks great English and is so helpful, he helped us when our bank cards were frozen and I was in a panic!! Breakfast is good and brought into you room each morning. Having the bathroom down the hall is ok but you certainly miss having an ensuite! Would give a 3 for the actual accomodation but a 4 for the service and location etc. p.s. Pick up one of the complimentary city maps in reception, handier than a guide book to carry around and saves buying one!
