What our customers say
The City Guest House Hotel is an inexpensive hotel that provides an excellent base for anyone wanting to explore Rome. I booked it because it was reasonably priced and looked like it was close to the metro station. We weren't disappointed as the metro station was only a 5 minute walk away and the tickets can be bought from machines at the station which are easy to use, 4 euros for 24 hours - metro travel is a bargain and you can also use the metro ticket to use the tram and buses. The metro takes only about 10 minutes to the centre of Rome which was ideal but it does shut at 10pm.
The hotel room was spotless with clean towels and linen. The bathroom was a nice size and clean. We also had a balcony. It was the perfect place to stay without paying the expensive rates of the city centre hotels and was nice and quiet away from the busy tourist areas.
The staff were very friendly and very helpful when we asked for directions and info about the tourist attractions. The breakfast was good with breads, ham, cheese, cereals, yoghurts, juices and hot drinks available.
The restaurant next door to the hotel was very nice but you may need to book, they managed to fit us in at the last minute late at night but that was fine and the food was excellent. The hotel is located in a residential area where the locals don't speak much English but this added to the Italian experience. There weren't many other tourists around which made a nice change. Was a relief to get back to the area after spending a whole day in the centre surrounded by other tourists! Also, the restaurants around the hotel were alot cheaper than the restaurants in the city centre. We paid around 30 euros for 2 courses plus drinks by the hotel, which was an absolute bargain!
Basically, if you want a decent clean, cheap place to stay with easy access to the city centre, this is the place for you!! I would definitely go back and recommend this hotel to my friends!! :o)
