Gulliver's place is one floor of a building close to the station Termini. There are a few nicely decorated rooms. In the morning, Sara served Breakfast in the small kitchen and you could discuss your plans for the day with her. It was great to stay there.

Excellent value, centrally located, great hosts.
When I saw the name "Gulliver's Place" and that the name of the hosts were Sara and Simon, I thought it might be British owned. But Sara and Simon are oh so thoroughly Italian and wonderfully gracious. They will give you all the inside tips you need to make your stay as comfortable and interesting as possible.
You do NOT need to speak a word of Italian. Sara and Simon are completely fluent in English. They will help you book taxis (yes, with a real taxi company--not all taxis have a sign on top) and will help with anything you need. With airconditioning on there was no noise problem.
I was a little uncomfortable about being so near the train station, thinking that it might be an unsavory area. There are some restaurants around, and it is a safe, albeit not very interesting area to walk around. The big plus is that all forms of transportation are easily accessible and within walking distance. I will definitely stay there again. It was clean and very pleasant.

My husband and I stayed 7 nights at Gulliver’s Place. When we arrived (which was quite easy if you know how to read a map), we were greeted by Sara. Who gave us loads of information regarding the must see sights. Luckily for us, we went to Italy during cultural week so during the whole week all of the museums and sights were free (with the exception of the Vatican). She also recommended to not try to see everything which was very good advice. The building is a gated condo complex. There are (I believe) five nicely decorated bedrooms. Upon arrival, along with a key to your room, you are given a key to all the necessary doors and safe which is located in your room. We had a nice stay there with just a few minor issues but I’ll get to that later. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were plush. I must say, it was hard getting up in the morning at times. It was very quiet as well. However, if you opened your windows, you could hear the roar of the scooters. Just close your window and you’ll be just fine.
Rooms and bathrooms were cleaned daily and our breakfast was made out by Felicia (I think it’s misspelled) who is wonderful. Though her English is limited, her attempts at communicating did not go unnoticed.


Pros:
Nice, safe and comfortable environment
Breakfast filling
Location conveniently near metros and good and inexpensive dining
Free internet access

Cons:
Again these are minor but I have to say it.

Though the breakfast was filling, it consisted of a choice of either cornflakes or a mueslix type cereal, orange juice or tropical juice, coffee, or tea, toast, yogurt and packaged pastries. It would have been nice to have some variety in breakfast besides the same thing. Even freshly baked pastries would have been nice. Also, water was not provided until the last morning of our stay. But then again, they do give you a fridge to buy and put your own water and other refrigerated necessities in. I guess most people don’t stay there for as long as we did.

There was an incident where there was a guest from I believe Florida who was quite LOUD, despite the posted “Keep your voice down to respect other tenants and guests in the building”. It was very annoying but I had my ear plugs and he and is fellow travelers didn’t stay long so it wasn’t too bad.

It was extremely hot!! You couldn’t open the windows at night because the mosquitoes would have a feast. Another guest asked about turning on the AC and was told that it couldn’t be turned on due to the filters needed to be changed. Also, for this time of year, it’s been unusually hot. Now, I have been following the weather in Rome since April and its was still warm not as hot but still AC type weather. And knowing that mosquitoes are out at night and it was hot the filters should have been cleaned earlier to make their guests a little more comfortable.

This last remark has nothing to really do with Gulliver’s Place per se. There is a courtyard downstairs and it would have been nice to have benches there to enjoy and take in the scents of the lemon and orange trees and the weather.

After all that, I would recommend staying at Gulliver’s place. We always felt safe going home even if it was midnight or later. The restaurants were inexpensive and good. Even though we were there until way after closing they never once said we had to go. The two restaurants we ate at were called Ristorante Grotta Azurra which is immediately across the street and to your left as you are leaving the building. Very good inexpensive food and the service was good. Also Hostaria something. We also ate dessert at a café on Castro Pretoria called caffe Mokarabia just past the Castro Pretoria metro stop.

Because I have read a few reviews that stated it was difficult to find the B&B despite the detailed map, I will provide step by step directions. Now if you still have difficulties finding the place…I don’t know what to say.

Once at Termini look above the exits as you want to leave from the Via Marsala exit. (Please note: If you leave from any other exit other than Via Marsala you will have a difficult time finding the B&B.) As you exit the station, Via Marsala will be perpendicular to the exit. (Also note that the street names are posted on the buildings so look up.) The street immediately in front of you is called Via Marghera. You want to continue straight on that street until you get to the very end. This street is called Viale Castro Pretorio. You will see a little gas station across the street to your right. Go across the street and go to your right towards the gas station. Continue straight and cross the street. On your left you will see a gated Condo complex #25 and there you are, Very simple. And there also is a sign on the building along with other B&B’s in the complex.

We just returned from a 9 night stay at Gulliver's Place Bed and Breakfast. We loved our room. We also loved the area. We had no problems with noise, our room faced the main road and we left our window open most nights (and my husband is a light sleeper). They provided us with a baby cot for our 11 month old daughter. The breakfast in the morning was great, you chose from two cold cereals in the hall and there was juices, milk and fruit salad. Then you went to the kitchen room and they would make you two pieces of toast (one with cheese melted on it) and also a pastry. You could have any kind of coffee or tea (I loved the cappucino). They also had a large individual container of yogurt. Just wish the breakfast was served earlier as there were a few mornings that we had to leave before the breakfast was served. We had no prblems with noise from other rooms either. The room was very clean and so was the common area. We also enjoyed having the free internet access in the main hallway. The Bed and Breakfast is located in an apratment building and has a locked gate to enter in from the main road. We always felt safe in our "Rome Home". The staff was great to us and helped us when we needed assistance. They even got our luggage for us when it was delivered from the airline. The Termini station is so close (it took us between 5-10 minutes to walk there and that was with our 11 month old daughter). There is a metro stop nearby too, but we found it just as fast to walk to Termini. There is also a bus stop right in front of the place. We would stay there again, it is handy to get to anywhere in Rome as it is so close to the Termini station. It may be a little hard to locate as it is in the residential building and the sinage is not great. We were travelling to Rome for a wedding and all guests were located all over the city. They were all jealous of the excellent map that the staff provided for us when we checked in. Simon also gave us some great tips on where to find a Fire station as my husband is a volunteer fire fighter and wanted to visit a station to exchange badges. Simon recommend one that had a musueum in the basement so it was a very intresting visit. We had a great stay and hope to get back again someday.
