La Torre Guest House

Location is close to train station (15 minute walk) and walkable to many popular sites. It was a hot sunny day for April and the AC kept the room cool. Instructions for entering the building and room were clear. It would be a great option for a larger group to rent all of the rooms. The staff were able to have our room ready ahead of check-in (although they did not alert us as they said they would). As many other guests stated, it was surprisingly quiet at night, which was perfect before our early morning departure. The elevator is a piece of history- and it works!

The bathroom was clean enough, but due to old tiles/fixtures, it had a shabby appearance. The sides of the bed frame had very noticeable stains and scuffs, and the furniture was worn and shabby. The mattress was hard & worn out and the pillows were flat. It’s understandable that the building is old, but the owner could afford to spruce up the furnishings and it would make a huge difference! One other note- to be clear- the rooms are not located in the tower, but in a building up the street from the tower. I am sure some guests book with the expectation of staying in the tower. Lastly, while this is not unique to La Torre Guest House, the staff contacted us by Whatsapp immediately with a link to pay the Rome VAT (5 euros per guest, per day) and requesting photos of our passports. I know all hotels require this, but with all of the scams these days, it’s preferable to communicate via Booking.com messages, which Booking emphasizes on its site.

It was super clean, smelling nice even the exterior including the elevator was very clean, close to popular sightseeings (example 15min from colloseum) and a few minutes away from termini and many bus stations.

everything was great only the mattress was a little uncomfortable and bit squeaky

Very central, a couple of minutes away from the Colosseum. Shops and bars nearby. Termini train station is a 10 min walk. The room was nice, the bathroom very nice. Good internet speed and water & coffee was provided. The elevator was quite interesting.

The bed was very comfy but it made noises every single time you moved.

Good location near the city center and walking distance from Termini station and main attractions. Very clean rooms and clear self check-in process. It has an equipped kitchen if you want to cook or have your own meals there.

The bed was highly unconfortable. Old matress and paper thin pillows. On our last day, we tried to contact the staff (who is never in the premises) to check if we could leave our luggages there after chek-out and pick them up later so we wouldn't have to carry them around all day. Even though I tried by phone, Whatsapp and Booking message, I did not reveive any answer. They read the message and never responded. We had to carry our bags around after check-out, which would be fine if it was the policy, but we never knew as they were literraly impossible to contact with.
