I reserved our room via e-mail correspondence with Simon and re-confirmed a few days before we left. No issues on this front.

We took a taxi to the location and with small difficulty, were able to locate the B&B - there is no sign saying "Gulliver's House" which is a little confusing, but there is a buzzer for it and the street address itself is visible. An absolutely adorable iron gate in front leads into a central courtyard and Gulliver's house is then to the left and the door on your left.

The map they provided was helpful I thought. The buzzer doesn't work so good but a nice gentleman gave it a good hard "poke" for us (and then it worked) while we were trying to figure out how to call Rome from our cellphones!

We were greated warmly by Sara and given help with our bags. No problems checking in and she explained everything about the location and then gave us a personal overview of the map. She was always great about answering our questions and arranged for taxis for us.

The other woman who is often working there (the two ladies basically seem to do everything from hosting to cooking to cleaning) does not speak or understand English much, but she is very friendly!

The decor is very eclectic - not very "matching" if you know what I mean, but reminded me of staying at a friend's house when they had just gotten their first apartment - all nice, older furnishings that are well-cared for (like hand-me-downs) but don't necessarily "go together"! Charming overall though!

The fridge and safe (inside the fridge!) were both useful.

The metro stop is fairly close and accessible by walking a few blocks (we're both under 35) and is just one stop from Termini - no issues getting around and we felt safe at all times (two young women).

The water system is a crack-up or a complete annoyance depending on how you take it - it makes this grinding noise anytime you flush the toilet and periodically does this while you are running water in the sink or shower. We both laughed about it, but I could see it really annoying someone.

The place was very clean but for the really gross shower curtain that had mold on it... I don't know why they don't replace it because otherwise the bathroom was fairly clean and new looking.

The size of the room was suprising - much bigger than I expected (two twin room), with a little sofa and desk area plus a chair by the window. The beds are comfortable, nothing special. It is a noisy location as you look out over a main street but we were too tired from walking all over Rome to care!

The breakfast, as some pointed out, is a bit disappointing, but it was nice to sit and have breakfast in your pajamas (right outside the door to your room) and chit-chat with other travellers, it made a nice start to the day.

Sara has an adorable little dog, Coco. If you don't like dogs it's not like he climbs all over you, but he is often there and if you are really bothered by dogs, I wouldn't stay here.

Overall I recommend this to anyone who is up for a bit of adventure and isn't looking for a "hotel with formal concierge" type of place to stay. If you are interested in feeling like you are staying with a friend in Rome, I highly recommend Gulliver's Place!

My daughter and I were in Italy for 10 nights and stayed at Gulliver's B&B for 7 of those nights. Our location was perfect - about a 3 block walk to the "B" line of the Metro and about a 4 block walk in the other direction to the the Termini train station. We felt so comfortable and safe at the B&B and also in the general area. Simon was so kind and accomodating to us. He made us feel very much at home!

We originally had booked only our first 4 nights there and were supposed to transfer to a hotel in a different area (more expensive but we thought the area would be nicer and was closer to my other daughter's apartment - she's studying in Rome for the semester). Simon called us a cab to get there and when we checked in we were not happy and wanted to go back to Gulliver's.

The more expensive place was difficult to get to public transportation from and didn't have nearly the amenities that Gulliver's offered (no free wireless internet, no ice machine right outside our door, no breakfast, no DVD players with a selection of DVDs right outside our door.) We finally were able to reach Simon on his cell phone and he told us we could stay there for 3 nights more but he didn't have the last 3 nights of our stay available. We said that was okay and we would go to Florence for the last three nights.

When we arrived back at his B&B, my daughter actually walked into the foyer area after Simon had buzzed us in and announced "we're home!". My family and I travel a lot and love to stay at nice hotels and resorts. Gulliver's was everything we wanted - decent sized room, comfortable bed, decorated nicely, clean bathroom and great amenities, great location.

The breakfast Simon brought us each morning was fine and more than enough and we even had to tell him not to bring so much food because we couldn't eat it all! The only negative I can think of is that it was a bit warm in the room and when we opened the window to cool off the smoke from the bar one floor below us drifted into our room so we couldn't leave the window open. With the window closed, there was no problem with noise or smoke!

I can't say enough about Gulliver's. I highly recommend it!

This little B&B has about 5 rooms, each lovely decorated. Some of them have their own bathrooms in the rooms, others have a private bathroom just outside their room in the hall- we had the latter and it was actually a nicer, larger bathroom than the ones inside the rooms. They have a wonderful computer/internet set-up for guests to use. There is a complimentary breakfast. The location is quite good- only 2 blocks from the main rail station, metro, and tourist buses. It is a wonderful B&B, but only stay there is you are expecting a B&B-style stay- meaning, the staff is there during the day but goes home at night so they give you a key and it is self-service.

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.
