Mr Alexi from this Absolute Bed and Breakfast place was very nice, polite and helpful. His smile and advises really helped us very much. Thank you very much for wondeful stay in Rome!!! Vladimir Jezik
... There was no problem. We could even leave our luggage till 1pm in the property as our flight was later in the afternoon. ... Perfect brakfast - really. Possibility to use the fridge and kitchen. Only 5 minutes walking to the Termini (train) station. ... A valuable place to stay. A goog deal for the money and value it offers. (They gave us also the map of Rome and showed us the best places to go.) Very close to the old city (only about 10-15minutes walking to the Coloseum).

Absolute was very clean and the host very helpful. It was a very fair price. Our only comment is that the entrance hall to the building needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. ... Host does have multiple responsiblities and was very late getting breakfast out one day ... clean, friendly, good breakfast, neighborhood slightly scary

The owner, Alexis, was wonderful! He cheerfully met us (we were a little late due to our flight)and proceeded to make us feel right at home. He presented us with a map of Rome and then took the time to show us various bus routes, metro lines, etc. He even gave us suggestions on places to eat!He is a most gracious host! ... Our room exceeded our expectations! The room was huge with a king size bed (for my husband and myself) and a twin size bed for our son. The bathroom was a nice size. We must comment that the room was SPOTLESS! It was the cleanest room we have stayed in on our 17 day trip (and the biggest).
Every morning Alexis had a wonderful breakfast for all to share- fresh breads,croissants, yogurt,cheeses,etc that were delicious!
We felt like we could ask Alexis any question we had and he always took the time to answer or to find the answer! ... Alexis was so helpful on checking out- the night before he arranged a taxi to take us to the airport. ... The rooms are huge. Some rooms we stayed in at other hotels looked larger than they were due to the camera angle of the picture-but these rooms were big(so nice since we had our 20yr old son traveling with us). ... Alexis is the best host! His cheerful manner and helpful nature really made us feel right at home. The room was huge and spotless! The breakfast was delicious every morning.This is an absolutely great place to stay!

The owner showed me around the B&B, it was very helpful with map and info about the city. The place looked very clean. ... It was a brilliant experience, the B&B was clean and spacious, the bed absolutly comfortable after a long day out. ... The owner of the B&B has been very kind and helpful. I will definetely recommend it to every one. ... Clean, spacious, homely and very helpful owner who provided a large scaled map of the famous sides of Rome. Quiet position, not far from the centre at all. Close to everything. There is a supermarket 2 minutes walking from the B&B if needed for water and staff.

First Class. Cosy, friendly, cheap and smack in the middle of Rome! Excellent continental style breakfast and spacious rooms. Basic accommodation but clean, tidy and warm. There was nothing we were missing. Owners extremely helpful and friendly. In reply to some adverse comments on the size of the showers, may I respectfully suggest you lose some weight, as I found them more than adequate!

My wife and I had a great stay for two nights. It is better than advertised. The room is clean, quiet and spacious. The metro is only a block away. The breakfast is very good. The host is most outstanding. We had a great experience and would stay there again. ... We had no problems with checkout. We were able to leave our luggage until late afternoon. ... Yes. A Metro stop is just a block away. There is very convenient for getting to Rome's sights. ... It is a great bed and breakfast.

very helpful hints by the owner of the property how to oganize our sight seeing tour how to use the bus and the metro and where we could find good restaurants ... we had wonderful days in Rome, Alexis was very friendly und we could feel us like at home. We learned much about the way how people live, think and feel in Rome and it was very often in an other way as in Germany. So our voyage was very exciting: we had a lot of impressions about the old history, the vatican and lots of other interesting topics. ... Very positive is that there are only a few guests in the hotel and therefore there is a very familiar atmosphere. In teh evenin we could use the kitchen or the living room and when we had speclia wishes, Alexis fulfilled in a very kindly way. So we had more the feeling of a family than a hotel. ... a very beautiful Hotel with a friendly and helpful manager, a familiar atmosphere, a very good breakfast, clean, spacious and private rooms. Only a few steps to a bus station, the railway and the metro, so we could drive in each direction. And only a few minutes from the centre of Rome. It was the best decision to choose this hotel

Alexis was extremely friendly, warm and hospitable. He allowed us to settle in then provided maps and other very useful information about Rome. ... We extended our stay twice and each room we were moved to was clean, spacious and cool. Alexis was always happy to accommodate for us and took much pride in preparing breakfast and looking after us in general. I would recommend Absolut to ny one. ... Perhaps mention the little kitchenette that is clean and available for use at all hours. This is definately a positive for budget travellers. Also the free internet use and supermarket located within metres of the B&B. Also, Alexis' sister provides massage and comes direct to the B&B. ... Clean, quiet, orderly with a friendly atmosphere. Alexis is a most hospitable host and makes the stay even more pleasurable. It was a most pleasant way to start our trip to Italy.

Very Pleasant and friendly ... Breakfast was good and the coffee excellent The Resaurant that Alexis recommended was good and reasonable. His useful quick verbal guided tour around Rome with the free map really helped us to get off to a good start ... No Problems and when Alexis found that we were not leaving Rome until the afternoon he offered to let us leave our cases until the afternoon. We enjoyed our stay ... An open and friendly B&B. No frills but good breakfast and everything works. Near to Metro ( 5 minutes walk)

The location is very conviently located right near the Termini train station. The door itself isn't quite clearly marked, but finding it wasn't too much trouble at all. ... The host was fantastic and provided us with a great map of Roma, on which he took the time to highlight the famous sites and directions on how to arrive at each one. ... I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in Roma. The location is excellent, the rooms are beautiful, the hosts are so kind, and right across the street is the oldest Gelateria in all of Roma, called Fassi!

Only suggestion is that a sign be placed outside the property so you can clearly see where you need to go we were quite confused on our arrival ... Excellent host this b & b is very economical and very central to Roma ... Just as above re identification on arrival ... I would stay there again which is the highest recommendation I could give

Very good information about the city of Rome. ... It would have been nice with a TV ... The problem with question 11 was that I didn´t remember to contact the staff the day before leaving, and we left sunday morning at 07.00. Noone were there at that time. But it is cleared out. ... I have already recommended Absolute B&B to a friend. It is nice, good placed in the city and the prise is OK.

Just the fact that when we arrived the metro was shut (10pm) so we had to find out which bus to take, then walk, all sorted though. ... The host Alexis was fantastic, helpfull,polite and laid on a great breakfast every morning. Will definately stay there again, on our next visit to Rome ... Well worth the money, with excellent hospitality, and in a colourfull part of Rome.

The late posting of this is in no way a reflection on the property. The bb was fantiastic, prime location for sightseeing and any transport needed and a supermarket on the corner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Alexi was most helpful...definitly follow his advice on where to eat!!! You will not be dissapointed. We had access to kitchen and internet which was not expected. The breakfast was simple but definitly kept us going (realy enjoyed the cheese!!) Would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend this to anyone. Delighted to find he also has self catering apartments in the north of city...definitly worth a look i think! Really cannot praise this place enough. Its simple but really, what more do you need? We didnt want for anything. ... Our flight left later in the day. Alexi was very kind in allowing us to keep the apartment key and keep our luggage there until ready. Very helpful! ... all good! ... Central location, walking distance to everywhere. Like a self catering place but you get breakfast provided.Worth every penny!

Alexis was very welcoming and gave us loads of information about getting around in Rome. The apartment was in an ideal spot from which to explore. It was great to have the whole apartment to ourselves, as there were 7 of us altogether. ... It would be a good idea to state it was a four double bed apartment as groups of four couples would certainly see it as an advantage to book the whole apartment, as this makes it more private and secure. Breakfast could have been varied a little bit more. ... We will be recommending to friends and family

The property was not a five minute walk from the colleseum as described in the brochure. more like 20 - 30 minutes. However the accomodation was superb. ... Staff allowed us to stay after our check out period due to flight times which we found very helpful ... very clean, affordable, pleasant place to stay with great staff with a friendly helpful attitude.

The owner, Mr Alexis, was vey helpful and kind and we felt really welcome ... Information about how often there is change of towels and linen and when the rooms are cleaned.
... Simple but clean and friendly. The positive thing is that you can have drinks and water in the fridge and that it feels as if you are staying in a friends apartment

The B&B was great - owners lovely and really helpful In terms of Question 4 we thought we were getting an ensuite but had a private bathroom outside the room - not a big deal though. ... Really close to the Colosseum (walking distance)....really close to Metro....short (and cheap) taxi ride at night from the centre (as two girls travelling wouldnt really want to be on the Metro and then walking home at night). Owners really helpful in pointing out what is worth / not worth seeing and suggesting some places to eat.

The site listed the accomodations as child friendly, but we were repeatedly asked to be quiet. A dificult thing to do with a 1 year old and 3 year old when it rained for three straight days. I expected more empathy from other guests and owners, but did not receive it. I would not recommend this as a child friendly establishment.
