La Casa di Elena

Was able to stay in a room with my friends, the facilities were great and everything was clean, the aircon was a godsend in the heatwave :) and our host was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed

Price wise, you got what you paid for, and more. The bed and roon were clean. Location wise it was easily within walking distance of the Coliseum etc. Staff were pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was basic but much appreciated.

You get what you pay for but i would have liked an ensuite bathroom but it was just outside the room door.

The staff was amazing and really helpful. Facilities like blow dryers and lamps weren't working sometimes. Overall, I recommend it.

The breakfast was good, I made cheese and salami toasted sandwiches each morning, there was also coffee, juice, cereal, cake, jams, and cookies. Metro and buses close by. Castro, a large supermarket is close. I think this would be a good place to stay in summer when you can sit outside.

Bad start, first morning, the lady came in and saw that I had moved the bedside table a bit, and immediately decided that it had to be moved to the other side of the room as the room was "crowded", also took away one bed; so I had no bedside table for the rest of the two weeks I was there, another bed had two, it was all just very strange. She was nice the rest of the time I was there. I was in the basement mixed room, it was freezing, so was the dining room and bathroom. The dining room had a wall heater installed while I was there, but it doesn't do much, as there's an inch gap under the outside door, and a window wide open in the kitchen. Sound carries in this place, the staff were very loud, at first I thought they were angry, yelling at each other, but came to think it was more conversations from room to room. The man was in the dining room a lot, phone up loud, no ear phones, also had long loud conversations on the phone; not exactly relaxing for anyone else in the room.
