Tourist House

The Tourist House allows you to feel like you are living in Rome, not just visiting. The large front doors open to a marble lobby and from their you either take the large marble stairs or the antique exposed elevator to the top floor. When you enter you are assigned a room down the hallway of rooms, each is small but not crowded, bathrooms are nice and everything is very clean. Luca and his brother are both very kind and hospitable. It's also located across from the metro which is very easy to ride and much cheaper than cabs, or a nice short walk to the coliseum. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a clean affordable place in Rome.

We loved our little room in Luca's apartment. The only hard thing was to initially find the Tourist House. It's behind the old arched wooden door. I was expecting a little hotel so we passed it on the street several times. But I did love it! Very old-fashioned building with marble floors, old elevator and very updated apartment. Breakfast is nothing to talk about, but the views, amenities, the bathroom, the BIDET! Loved it, Would stay here again!

This is not a hotel. It has no indication from road that this is the correct place. You have to buzz the correct floor- 5th floor - where you see a plack for the Tourist House. It was odd - but when you go in it has multiple rooms for rent. Surprising the view is good, the air conditioning works good. The bathroom was gorgeous. It was a great place to relax. It is a good location, just 1/2 a block to the subway. There was a good restaurant just down the block. The guy was great because he let us keep our bags there till noon.
