Five Rooms Rome Guesthouse

We booked this at short notice due to an issue with our planned accommodation and it was a lovely surprise. Vince was an excellent and accommodating host and the room was clean and comfortable with very good air conditioning. Breakfast was served to our room and included a good variety of options. The location was perfect and right in the heart of Rome which meant all the major sightseeing destinations were close by. There is also a pizzeria and gellateria very close by for those evenings where you just need a quick dinner and your bed.

Location

Facilities very tired. Room was not prepared as requested. Cleanliness was below expected level.

Fantastic host

The shower was exceptional

The apartment was secure as it was one of 5 apartments behind a locked door off the building corridor. The location is reasonably central for Rome with plenty of the tourist destinations within walking distance. In addition to the 2 bedside lamps there were 3 other power sockets so that was helpful. Instructions about access to the building and apartment were nice and clear and included helpful pictures so easy to follow.

The twin room was quite basic but at least was clean. The toiletries consisted of only a shower gel in the shower and a hard soap at the sink so we purchased a shampoo. There were 2 safes in the room. There were no instructions for either safe. One was locked and appeared to be either turned off if battery powered and thus unusable. The other safe had both locking pins protruding and so could not be closed and there were no instructions on how to re-activate. When showering the water would suddenly run extremely hot for short periods so you need to be careful when showering. The walls were thin so you could hear people talking in the other rooms as well as toilets flushing. The Smart TV was not connected to the network so Netflix wasn't available.
