Guest house Hello Roma

The location and facilities in the apartment.

ovídio the host was friendly and helpful, the guest house is at an excellent location, the room was quiet, clean and bright with two doors to the little balcony outside. the shared bathroom was spotless and cleaned daily, the door locks securely and the water pressure is very nice. loved the pomegranate hand soap! traveling with mom mom with limited mobility, we found that the bus 71 stop at via gioberti was the closest from the place, but being so close to termini was excellent for any other mode of transportation. also, i was a little skeptical about station near termini and how it would look at night but the place is lively, with many places to eat if around the corner you’re tired coming home from a long day of sightseeing. if the logistic of a shared bathroom is not an issue for you, i recommend this place 100%. and if possible, shower at night to avoid waiting for your turn in the morning.

*only* an issue if you have limited mobility, are traveling with strollers or big suitcases: the guesthouse is at the 5th floor. the elevator, like most old italian building elevators is small and has double doors that needs to be closed from inside manually, otherwise it won’t move. that is the rule and it’s written everywhere, impossible to miss. the host made sure to educate us on it, and we are savvy so we learned. but there’s other tourists staying at this and other guesthouses in the building, and that is the issue: so twice we came home at night and the elevator was “stuck” at an upper floor (once in our floor, the 5th and once at the 3rd). i had to walk upstairs, find it, close the door so that my mom (elderly, limited mobility) could press the button on the ground floor and ride the elevator up. for us it was a minor inconvenience, because i am able bodied and could walk five stories up. but if she was alone, she would be stranded at the entrance. it’s not the hosts fault and not a fixable issue, other than try to teach people how it works. i’ve stayed in other guesthouses like this, in old roman buildings and this is very common, so if accessibility is the top priority maybe consider a hotel.

It’s super clean and we were allowed to use the kitchen and there is always coffee

Nothing

Good location close to Termini train station. Clean, comfortable.
