Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved this B&B and the host Allesandra was so kind and helpful with all our questions and her tips for us. She cooks large warm croissants with powdered sugar on them daily for each one of her guests along with other finger breakfast foods to enjoy. Her B&B is only a quick and easy 10 minutes walk from the Vatican too. I highly recommend Beside the Vatican as a great place to stay on Rome.

This hotel treated us better than any 5 star hotel I have ever stayed at! Allesandra was a wonderful host breakfast was offered daily at our convenience! She went above and beyond to attend to our every need! She highlighted her beautiful city of Rome and helped us plan a walking tour of all the “must see” spots! We were within walking distance of everything! And I’m not a walker! Allesandra even managed to get us our covid tests and results!!! Amazing and I definitely recommend staying here! Thank you
