Travellers Reviews
Submitted by Jim Iorio, New York, United States
We arrived and were warmly greeted by a staff member (Emeldy) who immediately made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed after a long train ride from Paris. The proprietor (Rosa) then welcomed us and offered her assistance and advice on what to do and see in Rome, given that we only had a few days to spend. She then made a phone call and secured reservations for us to view the museum at Villa Borghese (usually a difficult ticket to procure).
...
It was an ideal place. Better than we had expected. Quiet, clean, spacious and charming. Also an excellent bed. And every morning we were served a lovely (and substantial) breakfast in our room.
...
We were sorry to leave. It was as if we were staying with friends.
...
A bed and breakfast that provides a quiet, clean, spacious room, tastefully decorated, where you'll feel extremely welcome.

The staff at Al Colonnato di San Pietro were wonderful and our accomodations were perfect. It was a perfect location and they made our stay in Rome even better.
...
I highly recommend this place and will recommend it to everyone I know that is going to Rome. It is the perfect location, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the place had a homey, family feel.

Very good location - right next to the Vatican. Easily accessible from Train Station and main sights, bus No.64), frequent bus service and easy walk from bus stop.
Notify in advance of estimated arrival time so that someone is there to meet you.
...
Friendly staff, great location in a residential area, but very close to the Vatican.

We did not know that we were supposed to call someone prior to our arrival to meet us there. Also, there was no phone convenient to use. A neighbor saw us and called Rosa for us and she was there with in 5 minutes. We arrived earlier in the afternoon than expected.
The directions published online were not helpful at all. We rented a car and drove from the Davinci airport.
...
It was a beautiful room and one of the cleanest rooms I have ever stayed in.
...
Our bags did not arrive with us at the airport and Rosa made several phone calls for us to help us get them. She was very hospitable and helpful.

...
She even arranged a shuttle service for us to get to the airport.

The woman who ran the bed and breakfast was very kind and accommodating. She gave us information on transportation, places to eat, and the latest on strikes, as well as the hours of the different sites and a map. In addition, she brought us breakfast to our room. The room we stayed in was about a 2 minute walk from St. Peter's Cathedral and very quiet. Especially nice was the fact that, unlike many owners of bed and breakfast places, she was always available if we needed her. This was one of the best places we have stayed in!

We stayed only three nights and not the four nights originally booked. The one day reduction in stay was in no way due to the service or facilities.
...
We would highly recommend anyone visiting Rome to stay at Al Colonnato di San Pietro.

Although we arrived late at night, Rosa Maria was waiting for us and provided some basic information before wishing us a good night. She met us again in the morning and provided a wealth of information about Rome.
...
Al Colonnato was wonderfully maintained. The rooms, furnishing, and bathrooms were in excellent condition. The windows were great - shut out all the noise of the nearby streets.
...
Although the building's staircase is dark and dingy, Al Colonnato creates a warm atmosphere with polished wood floors and clean, well maintained furnishings.
...
Great hostess who did her best to explain all the sites of Rome to us. Excellent breakfast: plenty of food, nice variety, great cappucino - always a good start to busy days. Good location near the Vatican and buslines 64 and 571 to get to all the major sites downtown.

We had a very nice stay at the b&b. Rosa Maria was very helpful and accommodating. It is in a very convenient location
...
My only complaint was that the noise in the morning did wake us - tho it was italian opera singing so it added to the holiday spirit
...
I would recommend this property to friends looking for a comfortable, convenient, value-for-money place to stay for a weekend in rome.
...
The front of the building is nondescript so it may be difficult to idenify if you find your own way there. we had a taxi arranged by the proprietor so there were no problems
...
Comfortable, convenient, value-for-money place to stay for a weekend in rome. It shares the entry hall with the owners apartment so if privacy is paramount, this is probably not a good option. The owner is very helpful and accommodating.

The mgr very kindly emailed directions and transportion instructions before we traveled and also made a city map and tour information available. Very nice facility and location.
...
Very clean and good location. Mgr was most helpful. I liked the quiet location even though it was close to the vatican. It even had a small elevator to take luggage up to the 2nd floor.

Rosa-Maria, does not live at the property where we stayed. She had to rush to the appartement. This is not a negative statement.

Breakfast could be improved, it all depends on your taste I guess, we do not like sweet bits for breakfast.
...
