The hotel was so convenient to get to any major tourist spot in Rome. It was right next to the Metro station, only two stops from the termini or the central train station where you can get to the airport by two 30 (14 euro) or 60 mins (8 euro) trains. It was right across Hilton, so you know how good the location can be.

Overall we had a good stay here. Nice hosts, good location. Accommodation was clean, nice big bed but was a littke tired in areas and not the best shower. It had a fridge but no kettle for making hot drinks which was a shame. We enjoyed our stay and had a fantastic visit to Rome.

Great staff and a good location. Need to be fit as there is only a very small lift so we tended to use the spiral staircase.Decor needs upgrading and the lighting in one of our rooms was poor but a good price for the location we were in.

Had a wonderful three night stay. Our host, Mario, was extremely helpful in navigating us on the hat to see, how to get there and where to eat. Cafe next door was terrific and we were walking distance to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. There is a Metro Station right down the block that connects to the Vatican and Termini Station. Very convenient!!

We stayed at Basilio 55 for 5 nights, and it turned out to be just right for us. The hotel is tucked away on a quiet side street just up from Piazza Barberini, making it a peaceful yet convenient base for exploring Rome. The quirky little lift to the upper floors was quite a novelty — cosy, but it added to the charm! Our room was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom, while a little “tired” in places, was spotless and the shower always provided plenty of hot water. A big thank you to Mario, the hotel manager, who was extremely helpful throughout our stay. He assisted us in booking tickets for the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Green Line hop-on hop-off bus — things I really should have arranged before our trip. The location was excellent, with a Metro station right at the bottom of the street. At just €1.30 per trip using contactless payment, it was incredibly easy and convenient to get around the city. Overall, we had a lovely stay. As part of an Expedia package with flights, it was also very reasonably priced. Thanks again for all your help and advice, Mario!

Location was amazing. The area is very lovely with good restaurants around, and not a far walk from everywhere you need to go. The service was hit or miss. The person working our last day was excellent, booking a car and giving great advice. Other staff were not as great. One staff member told us there was no laundry service — despite it saying so on the website. Another staff member said that they could not reserve us a car in off hours, which was before 7:30 am or after 9:30 pm.

Convenient but Gross

Hotel staff was friendly and let us check in early. Location was convenient to metro and tourist attractions. Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was in horrendous shape. Mold was everywhere, black and pink. The toilet leaked at the base if flushed more than once or twice in a few hours. Mold was by the entry door as well. Nothing felt clean. Room was clearly minimally taken care of. One bed was shoved halfway under a desk. Housekeeping never took out the trash in our time there. Subpar at best.

Convenient located in the heart of Rome, walking distance for lot of the attractions. Good costumer service , i booked one of the room with private bathroom but outside the room ( i did not realized that ) which i did not like it but it was my fault. I suggest a mirror , at least a bottle of water and couple of glasses in the room , maybe a coffee maker ?

Booked last minute for the last night of our trip before flying out of Rome. What a great choice to stay here. The owner Mario is worth the visit alone. He was so welcoming, funny, gave us some great recommendations. He treated us like we were family. He was also very helpful in sorting out some last minute private shuttles due to flight changes. Hotel is in a great location and has everything we needed. It was clean as well. No issues at all. We’ll definitely be back and recommend staying here.

Our bathroom had a sewer smell that was very unpleasant. The ventilation fan made the bathroom heat up quickly. As this was a separate bathroom (outside of the bedroom with a common walkway), it made it very hard to cool down or air out the smell. There was no mirror in the main bedroom, which required getting ready in the bathroom (which as noted above was not pleasant). Besides this, the staff were lovely and the hotel was in a great location.

The concierge service is great and very helpful. Location is great. However the room itself is quite disappointing. Tiny room that fit one double bed and two twins, leaving no privacy and room for walking. The washroom is not very clean. You can see mold everywhere. Sink stinks quite a lot. Overall bad living experience.

Great location but no hot water

This was in a great location. The stuff was very kind and courteous. However, the room had almost no hot water. The shower had to run for a very long time before it would even get warm. The fan in the bathroom was so noisy. It sounded like an airplane was going to takeoff. I had made a reservation for a twin room, but when we checked in that reservation was not honored, and we had to be contempt with the double room.

Cons- I was very disappointed with the hotel overall, and felt that it is not worth the approximate $200 a night we paid. To begin with, our room was poorly lit...we barely had any light. The bathroom was old and dirty...hardly any shower pressure...and a lack of hot water. The worst part was that the air conditioner didn't seem to work properly. The hotel itself is old, poorly maintained and falling apart, it could use a paint job, and definitely some major renovations especially the bathrooms. Pros- The employees I did come across were kind and quite helpful. We met the manager as we checked out and he was so nice, very helpful and gave us some great tips about our travels. Additionally, the hotel is an amazing location as you are pretty much in walking distance to everything.
