B & B 2 Steps from ... — Hotel in Rome

Clean, safe B&B in north Rome for a great price. Super-friendly general manager.||||My original accommodation plans fell through, and 2 Passi Da had a last-minute cancellation, so I got dropped off there without knowing where it was located within what is a pretty large city. I was supposed to meet friends in the city center but had no idea had to get to my destination, so the general manager, Vicky (who lives at the B&B, which is super convenient), actually went with me all the way downtown (which involves a five- or 10-minute walk, a 10- or 15-minute tram ride, and then a quick metro ride) so that I could find the restaurant where I was meeting my friends. Then, because I would be coming home after the tram stopped running at midnight, Vicky actually loaned me his personal cell phone to call a taxi. He also woke up very early the two mornings I was there to call me a taxi. You cannot beat that service!||||The B&B itself is very small. The rooms open up to the lobby, so there's not a ton of sound privacy, but the guests were quiet during my stay (and since Vicky lives on site, he's there in case anyone makes too much noise). The rooms are outdated, with soft mattresses (which seems common in Italy), but the B&B is a great deal for the price. And, again, you get unbeatable service.||||One recommendation for others who choose this B&B: Get a more extensive Rome map than those offered by the tourist office or the guide books. This B&B is farther north than most maps show (it's near the famous Ponte...

Being in Rome for work the secretary had found this place for me to stay. I enjoyed very much the very clean room and bathroom - I stayed in the green room which was was very nice (at least from a female perspective) - and the freedom to go have the breakfast in the kitchen when I wished to do it. They had fresh oranges and apples in the kitchen, bricks of juice, mini cheese, and various biscuits etc. Some mornings, you even had one entire liter of milk for yourself, so you could make a nice cafe latte on your own. (much better than the "vending machine" coffee I was served in the previous hotel. Then of course... later you should go to a bar and have a true Roman 'cappucino e un cornetto con crema' as your second breakfast ;). Also, both the owner and his help offered me a coffee during the day. A lot of restaurants, a farmacy, grocery shopping, a gelateria (Mondi), and - alledgely - the best Tiramisu maker in Rome, and bus stops is just...

Very clean and comfortable, fantastic value, considering how close it is to the centre of Rome. A very short walk through vibrant, safe part of town takes you to a tram which will take you to the centre of Rome in about 15 minutes. Trams are about every 10 minutes. If you feel energetic you can walk along the side of the river to the Vatican in about 45 minutes. Breakfast was adequate, tea, coffee, fruit juice, cakes and croissants, cereals. The manager was pleasant and very helpful.||It can be a bit difficult to find when you first get there as it is one floor of an apartment block, so does not have the appearance of a guest house from the outside. You have to ring the bell and the manager will let you in. ||On the whole I would say that it's an excellent value place to lay your head in Rome at a really good price, will...
