I was surprised to see that Ivan&Arianna were in the courtyard waiting for us!
Ok, they don't have a big sign at the entrance, but if you're looking for the street number is impossible not to find Malu B&B
...
Ivan took care of us till the first moment we get there. Even if we arrive earlier, he gave us the room we asked for.
The room was large, clean and nice.
He asked what we prefer for breakfast.
In the morning Ivan brought us breakfast and fruits and waffers.
...
Our check out on the last day was early in the morning (our flight home was at 8:00 AM so we had to take the bus to the airport at 5:30 AM), so Ivan asked us if we want some sandwiches.
Grazie tante!!!

It is a well hidden secret. The directions and photos on the online publication were very helpful. I recognized the place from the online photos. The owner's were there to greet us and quite friendly.
...
This is the perfect place to hang your head after a busy day of seeing the beautiful city. It is very close to the train and metro station yet, very quiet. The room is simple, fresh and equipped with ensuite restroom w/ big towels. Breakfast was perfect with fresh coffee, cheese, prosciutto, sweet bread, and juice.
...
Just as easy as checking in. We were also able to leave our luggage for a few hours until our afternoon train departure.
...
Highly recommend. This is no fancy Hilton but, rather a cozy,welcoming place well worth the price. There is room service which is the lovely breakfast brought daily to your room with a smile.
...
This Bed & Breakfast is perfect in location, price, and especially the hospitality of the owner's. This is definately a place we would come back to.

Submitted by Peter Higgins, Mexborough, United Kingdom
Although we arrived late, we were welcomed with open arms which was reassuring as we are always nervous during any first visit to a major city.
...
The rooms are very large and clean and surpassed our expectations.
...
Our stay was excellent value for money, particularly when you consider that the location was only 5 minutes walk from the main Stazione Termini.
...
Negatives - only one, the Malu Bed & Breakfast sign is very, very small and can easily be missed (only displayed on the outside security buzzer).
Positives - many, the rooms are warm, comfortable, quiet and very clean. Eating breakfast on our balcony overlooking an 18th century court yard was a real bonus.
Friendly hosts who went beyond our expectation ensured our stay was a memorable one (the wine left in our room on our last night was the cherry on the cake).
Thank you Arianna & Ivan.

A 'must place to stay' in tranquil surroundings.

The Malu was a great place to stay. The Breakfast was very good with lots of variety. The hostess was very helpful very friendly. She was available at all times. I highly recommend this B&B for those Americans wishing a true experience with people who live in Rome. I give this B&B a 5 star rating.
...
Check-out was quick and easy.
...
A great place to stay located near the Train/Bus Staion with east access to all the sights. Highly recommend.

Absolutely excellent customer care. Malu B&B makes you feel and home and goes above and beyond to care for their guests.

Submitted by Mark Simpson, SWANSEA, United Kingdom
Had no problem whatsoever in finding the Malu. In fact, we arrived early and were still welcomed by the helpful owners.
...
Despite the negative comments about the lack of tea and coffee making facilities we read other users' comments and took our own travel kettle. The air-conditioning and mini fridge were brilliantly beneficial given that Rome was experiencing a heat wave during our stay. The room was always clean and well maintained.
...
We did not leave Rome until 6pm.There was no problem leaving our luggage with the owners until later in the day, despite checking out at 10am. And we were not charged by the owners for holding our cases.
...
None of note - but I would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Rome in the future.
...
Clean, comfortable, welcoming, friendly and central to everything. Would stay again if I needed a short break.

Very friendly, gave us a map of the city and pointed out all the sites to visit as well as the transport to get around
...
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast in the morning was superb and was delivered in a very friendly manner
...
Our check out on the last day was earlier than the previous days, so we were offered breakfast earlier and it was perfectly on time so we could leave in time to catch our flight home
...
A lovely B&B in a ver good central location in Rome, only 15 minutes walk to the Colosseum and 2 minutes to the nearest metro station. Although the location is so central the B&B is in a quiet court yard set back from the road. If you are looking for friendly service in a convienient location at a good price then this is a very good choice.

Maria and her daughter were extremely polite, welcoming and helpful. They explained everything very clearly and provided us with useful information for our stay in Rome.
...
The breakfast trolley provide by Maria every morning was very appealing, with an excellent selection of items to set us up for the day. Delicious! The rooms were serviced every day and were a welcome sight at the end of full days of walking around Rome.
...
Maria was as always very helpful and ensured that we had enough time to get to the airport. She also very kindly gave us a small souvenier of Rome to take with us - a wonderful unexpected surprise.
...
The breakfast selection, delivered on a trolley every morning, was varied and very filling.
...
Malu is an excellent value-for-money bed and breakfast facility that provided everything we needed as a base for our visit to Rome. It is conveniently located to the Termini train and Metro station, as well as being within good walking distance of some of the major attractions. The staff are very hospitable and friendly, taking every opportunity to ensure that our stay was a pleasant one. We would definitely return to Malu when we re-visit Rome.

We were made feel very welcome.

Our room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay in Roma.
It may be helpful to let people know they do not have to take Terravision Shuttle but it is very easy and cheap to make way from Airport by bus and metro.
...
We had to be out of Malu by 10 a.m. but our luggage was kept for us until we were leaving for the airport at 17:30 which was a great help.

Very clean, basic accommodation good breakfast, but if visiting ensure you book room with ensuite. Well positioned for walking to sights as well as for trains, buses etc.

When we arrived at the courtyard, we were met by a security guard who had to take us to the owner of Malu. If the security guard had not been there, we wouldn't have known where to find someone. A room number would have helped.
...
Details of a quad room (4 single beds) should be available.
...
Friendly and comfortable.
Ideal location only 5 minutes walk from Termini Station and within walking distance of many major attractions.

The breakfast was nice and the apartment complex was also quite nice. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind.

Close to the central train terminal. Not a real clear sign to follow, but the building number was in plain view.
...
Comfortable beds, large shower, and plenty of space to move around the room.
...
Malu Bed and Breakfast is a good starting point for exploring Rome. It is close to the train station, with a few small cafes on the surrounding blocks. The city and tourist busses are just down the street with plenty of minor shopping available in local shops and in the train station.

The lady was very helpful and treated us like family (I could speak reasonable Italian) . Nothing was a problem for the hosts and they gave us many sightseeing and dining advice.
Very pleasing experience......
...
Slightly more noise than we are used to, but it could expected to be this way in a large city residence.
...
No problems at all.!
...
Front door was locked( intercom on door) when we got there. We followed some-one in. When we asked for Malu B & B ,a man called the manager and she came to greet us promptly.
Clear instuction may help future tourists.
...
A nice place close to transport and central to most tourist sites . Good value for money with adequate facilities. The managers are very helpful and friendly.

The location was amazing, we were expecting some what of a walk, however it only took us 3 mins to walk from Roma Termini to Malu. Both Maria and Arianna greated us with great smiles and helped us settle in. Arianna walked us through the sites on a map, the transportation that we could use, recommendations for food, etc. She was very helpful to us on our first day in Rome. Both of them were always available to us if we had any questions.
...
Our stay at Malu was awesome. The place was cosy, Maria had asked us what we would like for breakfast each day when we had arrived and every morning, promptly at 8.30 (the time we requested) she would knock on our door with our breakfast. The breakfast was basic but delicious and it was good to be able to eat in our room. One evening when it was rainy and I was very cold, Maria looked at my state and without saying anything brought us extra blankets and a bottle of wine to warm me up. We immensely appreciated their hospitality, in fact we stayed at several places during our 2 weeks in Italy and, both my husband and I agree that Malu was the best. The room and bathroom were a little small, but it was what we expected for Roman standards.
...
Check out was a breeze. Maria checked up on us the day before we were scheduled to leave to see if we needed to get breakfast earlier than usual. We also had the option of storing our bags there after check out if we needed. We paid in cash as agreed and were given a receipt, check-out took around five minutes.
...
Malu was clean, comfortable, cozy and hospitable. The quality of service was great and the location was unbeatable. We were so close to both the bus and train transportation that it was an ideal base to explore Rome. I would definitely stay there again for its hospitality and location.

It was our smoothest arrival that week. The airline had lost our luggage for 5 out of the 7 days we were in Italy and thankfully, they had kept our bags until we arrived.
...
The room was very clean, but a little small for 3 people.
...
There were 3 of us that stayed at this B and B and we forgot to let them know that we would be leaving at 2 different times that morning. It was a little hectic but that was our fault. They were so helpful and accomodating at the last minute.
...
Malu B&B was very clean and the breakfast was really good. Our hostess went out of her way to have snacks for my sister and me before we left for a very early morning flight.
...
I would highly recommend staying at Malu B&B. It was such an enjoyable experience. The staff was so friendly and hospitable. I felt totally safe and comfortable at this B&B. It was an easy walk from the train station and the courtyard blocked the noise an construction from the street.

A comfortable apartment with wonderful hosts. The location is very convenient. The airline lost our luggage but no big deal - they had all the guide books we needed there already and my bag was in my room waiting. They handled all the delivery arrangements. Highly recommend the stay.

Kind hospitality. We're treated as family.
For breakfast we were asked what we prefer, and got that. Very satisfied with breakfast.
They were also very helpful with providing the directions for sightseeing, transportation and shopping.
...
We've followed the directions and had no problem finding B&B. We've received kind hospitality. Ivan helped us by giving directions for the city sights and transportation. Rooms are nice, spacious, clean and safe. Our room was with bathroom, which was recently renovated. Breakfast was great, served in our room: we were asked what we prefer for breakfast and got exactly that. The location is fine: walking distance from city sights, also close to all sorts of transportation (train, buses, metro).

Kind hospitality. Clean, spacious rooms, wonderful breakfast - we were asked what we prefer, and got that. Renovated bathroom.

We were greeted across the street and given a map with directions and instructions on getting around the city.

We had everything we needed. It was great to have a small fridge in the room and a hair dryer was provided.

We had trouble with our bank card that morning so the owner allowed us to leave our luggage while we took care of things. The problem was not resolved until after check out time but we were not charged for another day.

Great family-run restaurant across the street. Laundromat across the street.

Comfortable and quaint. Convenient location. In an old apartment building with courtyard.

As you have to book out at 10am the owners were good enough to let us leave our luggage with them until it was time for us to leave for the airport which wasn't until 6pm that night.

we knew that we were arriving the B&B around
11:30pm so I had sent them an email in prior
letting them know in my approx arrival time.
Hence there was somebody waiting for us at
the gate and the check in process went
smoothly.
...
Great location, its literally 3min walk from
the main train station and there is also a
bus terminal so was very convinient.
Good sized room, nothing fancy but clean and
bright. It's a good budget B&B.

We really enjoyed our stay at Malu bed and breakfast. The accommodation is simple but clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The B&B is conveniently located near the main train station and there are a number of good value restaurants near by. The building itself is quiet and restful after a long day's sightseeing.

Malu bed and breakfast provided an excellent service and hospitality during our stay in rome. Both my partner and I were very impressed with the family's attention to us and effort made durring our stay to make it pleasant and enjoyable. I would make a recomendation to friends to stay there and would also return there again myself. A wonderful service!
...
As above. Both my partner and I were satisfied with accomodation being what was advertised. It is very simple accomodation but grately improved by the excellent family service.
...
Again, very helpful. We checked out prior to 10am and Malu held our baggage until 5pm in the afternoon free of charge without any problem. They also offered us the use of a bathroom to freshen up when we collected our bags. Again, very obliguing and hospitable. Excellent service.
...
I felt that the description of breakfast being a 'pastry basket' was under-parr. Every morning a breakfast try was brought to the room at a time of our convenience with a pot of coffee each, a jug of fresh juice, bread, cheese, jam, chocolate spread, croisants, hot milk etc and was different each morning. Hot and fresh and prompt timing. I was pleasantly surprised, better than I had anticipated.
It is also very good that there is no curfew. With the keys they are happy for you to come and go with ease. It may also be worth mentioning that they location is excellent for walking to most of the major sites in rome and the B&B is located in a street with some excellent restaurants in. We ate at 2 restaurants in the street where the B&B is located and they are not typical rome prices and the food and table service is simply excellent.
...
Simple and clean accomodation with exceptional personal service and value for money. If you are intending to truely see Rome, out every day and want somewhere central where you can access on foot and not spend the earth then I recommend this B&B. I think the family care very much about your experience staying with them, the owner gave me a small gift of a rome clock when we left and a note to thank us for our stay! What more can be said?!

Malu Bed and breakfast was exactly as I had expected it to be and although the shower room could have been a little bigger it was clean and adaquate. I have to say that the lady who looked after us on arrival and throughout was extremely pleasant and helpful.

The place was in the best location, it was so
close to everywhere you want to be in Rome.
The staff were excellent. We had a room with
an external bathroom which was a real pain and
it was a tiny bathroom with a funny smell. The
bed was extremely hard and we found after
three nights that we had sore backs.

It is important to advise Malu B&B of arriving time as this ensures you are met. We were helped by people on the street to locate the B&B because it has a small entry on a board at the door of premises - this is not easy to find.

Staff very friendly; clean and pleasant accommodation; close to rail station and great for walking/bus/tram/rail to sights in Rome.

Best to ensure managers are advised of check out time - they are flexible with notice.

The owners were exceptionally helpful with everything from moving our luggage to directions on where to par. They also looked up the address so I could return the rental car, and gave me clear directions on how to get there. Couldn't have been more helpful.
...
It is fairly basic accommodation, but very clean and well kept. Very close to the main train station and access to the subway. Air conditioning was a bonus we hadn't expected.
...
We left very early to catch a flight and the hosts provided a breakfast the night before so would could eat before leaving. They also informed us about an airport strike, helped us organise taxi's, told us to call them if we had trouble at the airport and they would help us anyway they could. Fantastic service all round.
...
It is set in a building that houses several other B&B's. The hosts live in the same building are are therefore easy to contact. Parking is a bit of a problem but you can park about 0.5km's away in a multi-storey carpark if none is available near by.
...
Basic accommodation, very small bathrooms as is quite common in Europe, but everything was very clean and in a good state of repair. Good value, and the hosts are wonderful - very helpful, polite, nothing is too much trouble. Their daughter speaks very good English.
