Family House

good location near the Metro and Famous icecream shop (Fassing)

unstable shower temperature

I did not like anything about Family House. I left Family House to find accommodations in Trasteverre which made me feel safer and more comfortable.

It was not clean, the room looked like it had not been swept clean in weeks. It did not appear to have been wet moped in quite awhile. The sheets on the bed did not appear to be clean either. I was extremely disappointed in choosing this hotel.

Hotel was close enough to walk to Colosseum. Room had small balcony which was nice to get a bit of fresh air.

Hotel was not in an area with many nearby restaurants. Parking very hard to come by. Breakfast was one pastry and one drink; not really a "breakfast."

Great location, almost city center, real close to metro station Manzoni 5min, 20min walking to Termini. Good idea was to have breakfast in cafe nearby. Stuff was really nice, handled all problems that we had. I recommend this B&B.

In our room kettle was missing, but it was just a matter of asking the stuff and issue has gone.

I might say that the friendly staff was the positive point of this hotel. Even some of them not speaking english, they tried to be all time helpfull.

Despite the friendly staff, this hotel itself was too simple and its neighborhood was not at all a place for being as turist, no restaurants near, all day dirty and quite dangerous at night.

The location is convenient (10 minutes from Termini station and 15 minutes walk from Colliseo, also close to metro stations). The room was very quiet and the beds were good. The breakfast is nice - a coffee or capuccino and a fresh croissant in a bar nearby.

There was a problem with the hotwater, but it was fixed. Although acceptable, the cleanance could be better (it's a little bit superficial).

Friendly service. Good location considering the price. Easy access to the main sights in Rome.

Noisy water pipes and showers.

The staff was very helpful with maps and directions!

big and nice furnitured room, we had a room with a cute terrace, quite and cosy

we had double room, which was actually twin with beds put together - they do not have king-size beds, only single beds! no internet even for charge

The rooms looked old and dated although the bathrooms weren't bad

air conditioner is good (silent); cheap price; TV present;

no phone, no iron, no table, no chair, no hair dryer, no carpet (stone floor everywhere); no internet; no wifi; no alarm-clock;

This place was great for people traveling on a budget and looking for an affordable place to stay within the city center. However, there are zero luxuries. Be prepared for a decent bed, a very small room, an even smaller bathroom, and a shower that doesn't drain (and is covered in mold where the housekeeper can't see). But, it really isn't all that bad when it comes down to it, and it is totally do-able. The staff is super nice and very helpful.

The shower really could have used some draino in the drain, and a nice scrub down with bleach. We actually went to the store and bought some cleaning supplies for the shower, but our Italian wasn;t that great and we weren't able to get a product that did the trick. I also wasn't going to spend my vacation time scrubbing down a shower.
