Bob W Rome Testaccio
Great staff! Very kind young people. I loved staying here because of the staff. The restaurants nearby were kind of rough around the edges but they eventually didn’t mind us.

Gioberti Hotel
Rooms could do with being updated - found it odd that there was on only two plug outlets nether of them by the bed. All plug outlets were hanging out the wall broken but luckily they still worked! Staff were really friendly as my girlfriend is gluten free.
