A well run bed and breakfast with great emphasis on quality of service. The owners and staff made us feel very welcome. As a result I am sure we enjoyed our 4 day trip to Rome more than we expected to.

Elyssa and Alessandro were outstanding in welcoming us to the Daphne.
...
Elyssa was the consumate concierge when it came time to helping us take advantage of what Rome has to offer. When my daugther suticase got lost and it had to be retrieved from the airport, Elyssa dogged the airline relentlessly to get it delivered to the hotel. Breakfast was excellent but most of all, the kindness and generosity of Elyssa and Alessandro was simply amazing. I would stay at the Daphne any time I was in Rome.
...
The availability of cell phones (we just paid for the minutes) was very convenient, especially in communicating with our college-age kids who accompanied us. The location of the Daphne is great. Also, the availablility of free Internet access is a real plus.
...
Elyssa and Alessandro are what set the Daphne apart from just about every hotel and B&B we have ever stayed at. That are so helpful that whatever you need they seem to be able to accommodate. The accommodations are very comfotable and convenient to getting around to some of the best that Rome has to offer. When you put it all together, the value for the price is exceptional.

i think the place was nice, and was not disappointed. But did feel the rooms were very small, much smaller than they looked on the web site, and were noisy. Out room was below the breakfast room, and we were woken every morning at 7am ish. We also had a very noisy water drainage system.
The staff were lovely and helpful and the place was decorated nicely, but for £80 a night I think it is a little expensive.
...
ok. good location but small rooms and a little noisy.

Met the owner at the front door and was greeted as a friend and made to feel very welcome.
...
It was like staying with familky. (The loving kind of family)
...
The place is a complete package of accomodation, breakfast and tourist information as well as booking office for tours and further travel at no extra cost. The staff don't treat their job as a job, more like a life style.

Some of the most helpful people I have ever
had the pleasure to meet. They were
extremely helpful in planning all aspects of
our trip, from making dinner reservations,
to making our train reservations for us when
we were leaving. Also, because there are no
phones in the room, they provide you with a
cell phone during your stay, which was very
nice!
...
I would recommend it without any hesitance!
We loved it there & will definitely go back!

Excellent location! They also have a laptop you can use. When you check in, they help you map-out your visit and give you tips and pointers on good places to visit and eat.
...
At Daphne B&B they make you feel welcome. After a very long flight and then train ride it was a welcome relief to enter our home away from home. At Daphne, their hospitality and graciousness far exceeded all of our expectations. They were able to recommend very local restaurants off of the beaten path. We were incredibly pleased with our stay and will definetly stay there again.

very nice and welcoming- our flight was delayed, and so we arrived after hours, but they stil had the time to talk to us about booking a walking tour of the city and also suggested places to eat for that night that were nearby
...
really lovely- interior decor wonderful- the place looked brand new, lovely earthy colours, very clean, spacious and comfortable
...
a 'take-away' breakfast was provided as we were leaving before the usual breakfast serving times- very thoughtful!
...
we were supplied with a mobile phone for our personal use / to contact the daphne in case of any emergency- very practical and thoughtful, as we would have been paying roaming charges if we were using our own mobile phones. staff were very very helpful and offered great advise on restaraunts, places to see, etc
...
wonderful, really wonderful- the perfect place to stay in rome! 10 out of 10!! :)

The Daphne provides a high level of customer service that is often not found in many hotels or B&B's. They took the time to help us plan our stay in Rome: dinner reservations, maps, gelato recommendations, etc. And, the beds are extremely comfortable!
...
Cozy, modern, and friendly.

Daphne was very welcoming upon arrival, it was the most hospitable and friendly place we stayed in Europe.
...
The beds at Daphne were also very comfortable, the sheets were very clean and the blankets were so comfortable. It doesnt feel like you are staying in a hotel it feels like you are in your own comfortable bed.
...
We were on our honeymoon for one month in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Daphne was by far the best place we stayed on our whole honeymoon. The rooms are a bit small but it was the best value for the money.
...
Must include the comfort of the beds, the beds in Europe are generally awful. This was a score.

Taxi is the easiest way to arrive, and for 2 people travelling together the cost is comparable to getting the train from the airport and then a taxi from the train station. Much easier.
...
Daphne far exceeded our expectations. The rooms are new and simply but beautifully decorated, it is quiet and spacious, and has a very at-home feel to it. The staff, however, were what was really outstanding about Daphne. Their constant friendliness and kindness was impressive, and they really helped to make our visit to Rome a fantastic one. From helping us plan our stay to being excited for us about our honeymoon, they really can't be thanked enough.
...
Daphne is exceptionally good value for money for a quality standard of location in the centre of Rome. We chose to stay at Daphne originally because of its central location and competitive price (hotels in central Rome were extremely expensive). However, it was so good in every aspect. I would recommend it to everyone.
...
Extremely friendly and helpful staff create a homely retreat in busy central Rome. A place where you really do feel that you have a home for your stay, and not just a room.

Great! Lots of help, extensive briefing. Help with maps and dinner and directions. Couldn't be better.
...
The website could not really represent how kind and helpful the entire staff was. While everything about the property was very nice and as represented, the staff was outstanding.
...
Best deal in Rome!
...
I think the website is good.
...
If you're in Rome as a tourist, this is the place to stay. Lovely accomodations, wonderful staff - helpful, knowledgable, very friendly - like being welcomed into a family! They knew (or checked) on opening times for museums, made reservations for exhibits and dinners, helped with a medical problem, and arranged taxis and airport transportaion. Giving a cellphone to each room was enormously helpful. What a difference terrific service makes!

The owners and staff at Daphne were extremely helpful and made our travel in experience in Rome much more enjoyable. They went out of their way to provide directions, reservations accomadation our every need. We would have been lost in Rome without their service. The accomodations were comfortable , clean and nicely decorated. We felt as if we were visiting old friends.
...
The staff worked around your schedule if you wanted to visit Roman sites and leave your luggage until departure.
...
Provide you with a phone should you get lost or need assistance any time of day or night
...
Friendly caring staff providing helpful assistance with dinner recommendations, directions. Centrally located for the local attractions and close to Via Veneto & Borghese Gardens . Accomodations were very clean and comfortable.

Submitted by Cheryl Stevenson, Boulder CO, United States
Everyone was helpful. We really appreciated her getting the AC going right away to protect us from mosquitoes.
Elysa went out of her way to remake the bed from a twin herself the last night when it had been made up as a twin. She should be careful not to burn out. I think she could have easily said no in that one case since it was only for a night, and we would have understood. The service in general was extremely caring.
My only problem with the Daphne was that I didnt get to practice my languages, a reason I go to Europe.
...
Beds were excellent, and we liked the clean and spare ambience. Rooms need a bit more surface space to put stuff on, our second bath needed some repairs (wonderful bath tub though. Giving out cells is a great idea, and computer access was terrific. Our mail sent out from those computers was not always received, whhich may or may not have anything to do with Daphne.
...
Rome is very expernsive. To pay almost $200 a night is a lot for us. In terms of Rome, the Daphne is a reasonable place that I plan to recommend.
Many of the people I talk to either teach Italian or are studying Italian, and to some of them, the lack of opportunity to practice the language may be a bit of a factor.
I wish you all the best.

and pointed things on a map of Rome.
We even got e free upgrade for our room,

Just want to add that the best thing was
the recommendations and personal guidence
given for sight-seeing at the time of my
check-in. Because of this my short visit
to Rome turned out to be very productive
and rewarding.
...
Well, just one caveat. I expected that I
would have WiFi internet connection
available in my room. This seems to be
what was indicated in the online info. But
the only available connection was an
ethernet line in the lounge room of the
guesthouse.

W e were greeted by a very friendly and courteous staff who gave us very clear directions about going about Rome and about the dos and don'ts in the hotel. We`were very satisfied and felt very welcome
...
Everything was as we expected since it was described to us in the net. I have some suggestions to improve the services: have a hot water maker for coffee & tea in the room; have a couch in the common living room so we can rest while waiting for our turn in the computer. Maybe also a TV in the bedroom would be a welcome addition. The towels in the bathroom also could be changed- they were quite old , although they were clean.
...
Everything went well . They were very helpful and we had the taxi we requested on time.
...
It would be good to show the living room with the computer and mention that there is free internet service. The hotel guests who were on the same floor with us were very quiet and courteous. We felt that we did not have to lock the bathroom each time we left the hotel since we felt safe with the other guests.
...
We had such an enjoyable stay since the hotel was very clean and accessible. The decor of the hotel was very modern and made me feel I was in a spa like atmosphere.

The only negative comment is that our room was on the ground floor and very dark, no natural light coming in during the day but it was a very nice room.

Very helpful, saw us off in a taxi. The price was very high because it was still peak time but we didn't feel ripped off as our stay was so enjoyable.

Things to improve would be to include a tea maker in the rooms where we could have a facility to make our own drinks and also a TV would be a great benefit.

The staff of the Dahne communicated with us via e-mail to ensure that our arrival would be very easy. They arranged to have a taxi with our name on a sign waiting for us at the airport and we were transported directly to the hotel. The innkeepers were there to greet us...and were extremly welcoming. We were immediately shown to our gorgeous room and all the workings explained to us. It was made clear to us that they would help accommodate our every wish.
...
The Daphne provided the ultimate b and b (or any other grade) hotel experience. The innkeepers were so attentive to our every need that we truly felt like royalty. The rooms were not only charming and tasteful but immaculate and had every convenience. Every member of the staff was wonderful and knowledgable, the breakfast terrific and the entire experience made it hard for us to leave.
...
We hated to leave but everything went very smoothly. The staff arranged for our taxi.
...
Very convenient to the great sites of Rome (we walked everywhere) but on a fairly quiet side street so that we didn't feel in the middle of hustle and bustle. Good restaurants/bars all around/easy to walk everywhere and near to metro.

We LOVED it!

Wonderful greeting- could not ask for more! Sandra provided an orientation complete with walking map and that was a big help for us.
...
Better than we could have imagined b/c Alessandro and Sandra were such a big part of why we loved the Daphne. Also, the bathroom was large, oversized towels a nice touch, as well as the fluffy pillows and linens on bed.
...
They arranged a driver for us and we were on our way with a 'to-go' breakfast since we departed prior to breakfast being served. Nice touch!
...
The customer service is above and beyond expectations. One feels like a visitor in the home of a friend, rather than a hotel customer.

Without a doubt and we have done so already.

The location of this B&B is excellent - particularly as the B&B is such great value for money. Only a couple of minutes walk from Trevi Fountain, we were in the middle of Roma no matter what direction we took from the B&B. Also, the B&B is right beside the Barberini Metro station, convenience at its best!
The staff at the B&B were very helpful, following check-in we had a personal induction to Roma, where to shop, what sights to see and where to eat. we were even recommended various routes for sightseeing and shopping!
I thouroughly recommend this B&B, its convenient location, value for money and friendly staff make it an excellent choice - although maybe steer clear of some of the restaurant recommendations!

I did not know that the breakfast would be so nice- it went beyond continental, with a very attentive and nice staff. ALso they have a computer with free internet service on every floor. I didn't think I would use it, but we used it a lot for weather and news. The rooms are ultra modern, very much like the 'W' in my opinion. They also give you a cell phone to use |
