Guest reviews for Arches B&B
"Location is great. Staff helpful. Comfortable place"
"Everything was fine"
"Arches B&B is perfectly located—just a short walk to the Vatican area and very close to the metro, making it easy to get anywhere in the city. Restaurants, supermarkets, and other conveniences are all nearby, so you really have everything you need within reach."
"The B&B does not offer breakfast; only instant coffee powder is provided. This wasn’t a problem for us since we were out exploring all day, but it’s something to keep in mind if you plan to eat breakfast there."
"Amazing stay. Very close to public transport. The hosts Paolo and Fabio were very helpful and gave us so many tips."
"Aucun."
"Very good location near the Vatican. Outstandingly professional staff readily helping in non-standard situations and with requests far beyond typical. Great thanks to Paolo!"
"Can't think of anything wrong"
"The property was spacious and well equipped. Paulo is an excellent host. The fridge was stocked daily with food for us. The location is in a good area for restaurants and shops. I enjoyed my stay."
"I didn’t find anything wrong with the property."
"We love the location, the size of the room and the surrounding area. Clean and tidy 😀 Very quiet and comfortable, yet our targeted places to visit are near enough on foot."
"Story time. My first encounter with Paolo seemed inhospitable - as I was preoccupied with some thoughts and what to ask - when he said something about me, “Are you okay?”, implying that my focus was somewhere else. I also mentioned something about “having our breakfast outside” - initially, I meant outside the property, which isn’t the case; clearly I had mistaken it for some other hotel I have booked. He could have easily say - that it’s not the case - but he retorted something like: “are you truly okay?is there something wrong (with you)?” Truthfully, in person, this encounter seemed kind of rude. Well, as a Property Manager - one should consider that Your guests are: 1. Incredibly tired, 2. In a foreign land, probably overwhelmed and somehow confused. 3. not truly sure if you speak English - thus pulling out all the italian words she can pull from her brain just to speak to you. This our 19th day in our Family European travel. I was dead tired and overwhelmed, with 2 kids in tow. The rest of the stay seemed fine and dandy. We subsequently stayed and booked for another 5 nights after this booking in Arches. As I have said - we loved the property 😀 Needless to say - we adore our vacation in this property. Paolo eventually warmed up to us - and made sure we have food and milk. Fridge was filled with pastry, dairy and breakfast stuff. Pantry was stocked up and complete. He asked us how we were, whenever we saw him. We had a total of 6 night stay; and we enjoyed it. PS. But one thing - summer travels are challenging in Rome with mosquitoes! Bring citronella or mosquito blocks or something. I had to buy from Pewex as we were really uncomfortable because of it! We had to do something about it 🤷🏻♀️"
"The owner was very friendly, helpful and flexible. Thank you again! :) The balcony is supercute, we enjoyed sitting there every day. The room itself is nice. What was great was the level of cleanliness, and how often (and discreetly) our towels were changed. Basic daily breakfast supplies were a nice touch."
"Noisy climatisation from other room. Absence of washingmashine... But I guess its usual to stay there for 2-3 days, not the whole week like we did :) Nothing else to brag about :)"
"Great location! Comfortable and clean room! Friendly and helpful stuff!"
"There is some noise from the cars outside but this is not the property's fault!"
"Excellent location , nice and safe neibourghoud, spacious bedrooms (for Rome), plus separate big kitchen with large fridge and all other kitchen. Very kind and helpfull landloards.. We would definattely stay there again"
"Elevator in the building is small and slow ..."
"Large spacious room, with very comfortable bed and the location was absolutely perfect for access to both tourist aspects and locality to the Stadio Olympic, our primary reason for the visit."
"Apartment are somewhat dated compared to the photos online but this is to be expected to a degree and did not detract from the stay. The bar across the road can be noisy and was especially on Saturday night, but in fairness, Italy had just beaten us at Rugby, problem solved by going down and having a late drink."

Budrovac Motel Monterosa
"We had an absolutely lovely stay at the historic and romantic Torre Di Vico. The room was very clean, beautifully decorated and had a good shower and comfortable bed. Location was right around the corner from the Cathedral. A delicious and abundant breakfast was provided in the morning. Our thanks to Giulia who went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with our room."
"Ein familiär, geführtes kleines Agriturismo in abgeschiedenen, sehr ruhiger Lage. Das traditionelle sardische Abendessen war der Hammer. Sehr gute Küche."
Werner Agriturismo Menhir
"Wonderful location in lovely old town, small comfortable room, helpful welcome, great for a short stay."
Heather Gredo Antica Dimora
"We have stayed in the hotel just one day, but the host of the hotel really managed to impress with an exceptional level of service. The rooms are quite large and clean. The hotel is located in the center of a small Italian city near the Alps. There is a large parking lot in the hotel, which is very helpful especially when you need to park your car in a city center. The breakfast was very good and we were really touched when the owner proposed to serve the breakfast an hour earlier than usual to allows us to catch our flight early in the morning."
Alex Hotel Emiliana
