Residenza Matilde — Hotel in Rome

Going to Rome, you want to spend your time in the city and not in your room. That's why we looked for a basic, fairly priced stay. That's what Matilde offers at first sight. Looking back on our stay, there were some points of improvement however: our room wasn't ready when we checked in, despite our message an hour before arrival. Even though it only took about 10-15min to get the room ready, bit of a pity our airco didn't function well and I'm sure the owner knew that already since she had a questionable explanation. Had a terrible first night because of the heat, trying to sleep with a wet towel is not the basic comfort we were looking for. The back-up mobile AC was very loud but got us through nights 2 & 3. coming back after spending the day in the city, our room was cleaned but the door was left wide open. Might have been a small oversight, but it could have had serious consequences. Luckily it didn't. the fact that our room was cleaned on day 2 but not on day 3 didn't bother us too much, but it actually should have as it's included in the service we paid for.

About the location: quite nice looking house in a peaceful neighbourhood with plenty of parking spots nearby (parking for 3 days was not expensive - about 15€). Bus stations on walking distance to get you to the city centre.

Some adjustments and getting the basics right would make Matilde a solid place to stay for a...

This lovely B&B is located in the beautiful area of Corso Trieste, close to the city centre. There are buses, trams & a metro station nearby which will take you to the Spanish Steps, train station, St Peter's square, Colosseum, etc - basically to almost all the sights in Rome. Buses take about 5 minutes to the train station and no more than 10 minutes to Piazza San Silvestro, which is close to the Spanish Steps. The B&B is in a quiet residential area with lovely parks nearby - Villa Paganini and Villa Torlonia. The owner, Michela is very helpful and the rooms are beautifully done up. Highly recommended for its quality and...

Nous avons passé plusieurs jours dans ce B&B charmant, et avons même eu le temps de prendre des habitudes !||Les points faibles : la chambre était spacieuse, mais assez froide puisque nous sommes tombés sur une semaine inhabituellement fraîche pour la saison : le petit chauffage d'appoint a peiné à nous réchauffer après nos longues journées de marche; la climatisation sera sûrement appréciée par d'autres en été ! La porte de la cabine de douche ne fermait pas complétement, l'eau était moyennement chaude, le sèche-cheveux faisait l'office minimum. Dans l'ensemble, le mobilier était vieillot, le frigo de la chambre en panne. Quelques investissements ne seraient pas de trop...||Mais pour compenser ces insuffisances, Mihaela s'est démenée du matin au soir pour notre confort : le ménage dans la chambre a été fait tous les jours, ainsi que le lit, les serviettes changées régulièrement. Les parties communes étaient propres, nous n'avons pas été spécialement gênés par le bruits des voisins de chambre.|De plus, dans ce quartier résidentiel, le voisinage est vraiment tranquille, paisible, bien desservi par les transports en commun (attention aux stations des lignes nocturnes !) - fort appréciable après le tumulte des journées de visite.||Le petit déjeuner était assez basique, mais trop "industriel" à notre goût : cependant, nous avons eu les "extras" qui n'étaient pas au menu, pour les avoir demandés (encore...
