the location of the hotel was great and the customer service was great. But the hotel was not up to par - the first room they put us - well the shower door was missing and they knew it and still gave us the room. The heater didnt work and the noise from the streets kept us up all night. On top of it - the bathroom was leaking water all over the floor. […] then they moved us to a new room the next day - the beds were ok and the bathroom was very small. It didnt seem to clean either. The hotel staff was very friendly but the conditions of the hotel were poor Read more

The Residenza Ki is nice hotel, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Where the Residenza really shines is it's location, it's perfect. Five minutes from the Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Metro Station (for the Vatican.) About 15 minutes from the Pantheon and about 25 minutes from the Coliseum.

This hotel was so bad we ended up going to another hotel. The good thing was that the hotel paid for a room at another site.

Excellent Bed & Breakfast Inn, a minor inconvenience was the lack of staff at night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is in a nice location- the kebab man across the street is awesome and it is close to Trevi Fountain, but that is where the positive ends. It is a given that the room will be small. The air conditioner did not work, there was mold in the shower, the television didn't work, there was only one small bedside lamp for light, and there was a lot […] of noise. The staff did not seem concerned with any of these issues. Read more

Somewhat dated brownstone. Front Desk person not always there but was when we arrived and you have keys to unlock front door, main floor and your room. Breakfast was good for this level hotel and the server, Palmira, was very nice. We believe she also cleaned the rooms after breakfast and the rooms were very clean. Bed were a bit worn but comfortable. […] Wifi was free. There was no safe and when we asked we were told it was broken but nothing ever came of it. Shower pressure was good although temperature varied some. Wardrobe was broken and some bulbs were burnt but the air conditioning and TV worked well, especially good in 90+ degree heat. Location is excellent and easy walks to metro, major attractions and restaurants, markets, etc. Would certainly consider staying there again, and as long as you know it is an older hotel would recommend it.

We stayed in the family room (two adults and two teenage children) during August Pros: Room was clean and the AC was wonderful especially after being in the 95+ degree Rome August heat. We had one queen and two full beds - it was a bit tight but then we weren't there much except to sleep. The location is superb - two blocks from Trevi Fountain, 20 […] min walk to Colosseum and the Pantheon and Piazza Navona nearby. Many good restaurants in the area, and short walk to Metro Station. Grocery store just across the road. Morning breakfast great with a wide selection of items, and the wonderful breakfast hostess also made sure we left fully caffeinated for the days activity and helpful with taxi. Cons: The lobby is only manned during day hours and is unmanned at night though there is a sister hotel down the road (we didn't know this when we checked in and didn't know where the sister hotel was initially). Also some of the rooms had very old locks - these were difficult to operate and left us feeling a bit less secure, though we had no issues whatsoever. Also the door lock was a bit 'quirky" and didn't like that we couldn't get out in a hurry if necessary. Room was said to have a safe, but it did not, so carried more in waist pack. While we had no issues, would have felt better with better door locks and more clarity about sister hotel. That one issue aside we felt this was the perfect location, and a good find in a good area.

The pros of the hotel include the location and the staff. Diego and Palmiera make this a wonderful stay. Nothing is too much trouble for them. There are some minor detractions from the room/building, but this is due to the age of the building. Overall, a wonderful stay and I wouldn't hesitate to return here when staying in Rome.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Only the stairs keep this from getting a 5. The morning capuccino is particularly good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Staff was really helpful and pleasant. Hotel is almost like an apartment building. Breakfast was just okay, but adequate. The floors could have been a lot cleaner, but otherwise the room was clean. The best part was having a key to the front door and floor door. Very secure and private. Room was spacious by Rome standards and in a good location. Less […] than 5 minute walk to Trevi Fountain. Grocery store across the street for convenience. It was more like staying in a a small apartment than in a hotel. Overall, a very enjoyable place to stay. Read more

Very centrally located. The Trevi fountain and the metro are easily reachable within a few minutes walk. The staff is very friendly. Free wi-fi. They serve a great European style breakfast.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is in a great location, situated just within walking distance of all the major attractions in Rome (5 minutes to the Trevi), as well as a Metro stop (less than 5 minutes). The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. We felt like we were staying with family. We were even offered breakfast and coffee our first day, despite arriving hours […] before check-in time. The manager is super-friendly and is full of excellent recommendations and information. He will even arrange for a taxi service to and from the hotel if you contact him prior to your stay. The breakfast is not huge, but definitely sufficient, and the coffee and cappuccinos are not to be missed. This is not the most luxurious or newest hotel, and because of that, you may experience things like spotty water temperature or a weak wifi signal, but these things are minor compared to the convenience of the location. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Read more

Our stay was good. Stayed 3rd week of march 2012. After reading several reviews, we booked this hotel and prepared ourselves to a really small room. Upon arrival, our room was VERY small. We could barely put 2 big suitcases around the room and there was barely any space for us to move around. Our bathroom was very small as well. The shower area was […] about 2X2 box. Just enough space to fit yourself in. Overall, we were okay with this, because we only used the room to sleep and shower and leave immediately every morning at 8am! The morning breakfast was okay. They served cappuccinos, espressos and hot tea. They had different types of croissants and 2 types of bread rolls. Sliced Deli ham, and 3 types of cereal were provided. The breakfast was just enough to get you started for the day. Initially we were not too happy with the size of the room, but the location you cannot beat. It is literally 2 minutes from the trevi fountain and 10 minutes from the Spanish steps. The closest Metro Railway Station was 2 minutes away. The Hotel front desk is open only from 9am-6pm and the person at the front desk was very helpful. He gave us tips on where to eat and what all to see. We tried a new restaurant everyday and it was a great experience.I would definitely recommend this hotel to people who just want to use the room to sleep and leave early morning.We were surprised at the amount of people booking this hotel, but its the location, you cannot beat. The location was perfect!!! Read more

Residenza Ki is a hidden gem in a great location. While it has an unassuming presence (difficult to find, no signs, no main lobby off the street), it features simple and clean rooms, free WiFi access, and very friendly service. They helped us book tickets to the opera, loaned us an umbrella, and provided a really nice breakfast and great cappuccino. […] We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again. Read more

I have just returned from Rome. The staff is very nice and helping. The location is super, is near to everything 2 blocks away from Trevi Fountain. The breakfasf was also amazing with those croissants with chocolate inside and the cream (omg) and perfect cappuccino. Everything was amazing. I totally recommend Residenza Ki.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed at the Residenza Ki for 7 nights March 28-April 4. We had the triple room just off the reception area. Our room was clean and nice but very small. The bathroom was also clean and again quite small. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning, simple but more than adequate to get you started for the day. Diego (not sure of spelling) was full of […] helpful sightseeing tips and we ate at all the restaurants he suggested …they were all great! This is a 3 star hotel/b&b with not a lot of frills but its location can’t be beat! Read more

-can't check in after 3PM. front desk will be closed and you won't be able to get in the building. you will be directed to another hotel -amnesties are wrong. NO hairdryer. NO safe.

Our visit to Rome was five days of non-stop site seeing and experence we enjoyed sharing. The Residenza Ki was perfect and fitted our needs well. It provided the basic needs with some extras. The staff was more than willing to help with suggestions and added to our comfort. The room was cozy and offered us a good nights sleep. The morning breakfast […] helped us get the day off. The location is great, we were minutes from several sites and the train station is around the corner. We would stay at the Residenza Ki again. Read more

From the moment we arrived at this place, it was a nightmare. We could not find the hotel, because it is poorly marked. The check in is on the 2nd floor of the building, and there is no elevator. The hotel reception manager was very rude. The bedroom we stayed in (my sister and myself) was tiny. The beds were actually two twin-sized cots pushed together. […] The cots were incredibly uncomfortable, and since I have returned, I had to get a massage to unkink the knots in my back. The bathroom was also tiny- there was no room to even wash your hair in the shower without the door open. Also, they do not provide you with a hairdryer. The free WiFi is actually one hour of free Wi-Fi. Our room had no window. The phone only allowed incoming calls, no outgoing calls. The breakfast was a croissant and coffee, not the continental breakfast advertised. Also, the desk clerk left at 5PM, so if you forgot your keys, you were locked out for the night. If you were traveling with someone, you each could not have your own set of keys. This was honestly the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel or bed and breakfast. I cannot discourage people enough from staying here. There were plenty of nice hotels on Via Rasella that were of comparable price (I ducked my head in to check!). Just as an example of how horrible this stay was, we checked in Thursday and by Saturday the check in manager had made me cry twice! Read more

We loved the Residenza Ki - Clean, basic accommodations with a perfect location for sightseeing and a stellar staff. Highly recommended.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is in a great location. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the free breakfast is definitely a plus. There's wi-fi in the building, but you need to pay in order to use it. The only thing the group and myself had issues with was the one set of keys per room policy they have. Need a key to get into building, one to get onto the floor and another […] into the room. My room required the key to lock the door from the inside. Not convenient when the group splits up. This hotel is more convenient for couples Read more

Diego was excellent as were the rest of the staff. They were helpful and polite and really looked after us. The room was comfortable and clean and the only drawback was a dodgy door lock that Diego attended to. Fantastic location, good value for money and breakfast provided.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Residenza Ki for 9 nights (Nov17- Nov26, 2012). This place is absolutely amazing and I recommend it to anyone who is planning a brief or long vacation in Rome. It is located within walking distance of absolutely all the "must sees" and "must dos" and not to mention great food of Rome. Staying here made us feel as if we […] were living in the centre of Rome in a typical Rome style building. The rooms are well maintained, the breakfast is great and you have access to many channels (Skytv) on your plasma tv in your room when your relaxing in your room. What also makes this such a great place to stay is the manager and staff. They are absolutely amazing, hardworking and helpful. Not only are they locals who suggest great little places to eat, have coffee and visit, but they also provide you with tips and a very useful map of Rome. An example of how great the staff is: I really wanted to watch a soccer game on tv but in Italy you must subscribe to soccer channels to watch the game. Although you are provided with ample sports channels, soccer channels are not part of the package. Therefore, one of the staff brought her code from her own personal soccer channel subscription so that we could watch the game through the channel's website via her own personal subscription. The manager then allowed us to use his computer in the front desk and we watched the game! They even stayed late just so I could watch the game! The manager/staff far exceed expectations. Read more

Our only complaint about this Hotel was the "late" check-in arrangements. I had read the arrangements for "late" check in but must have missed late meaning after 6pm! We arrived just after 8pm and had to go to another Hotel to get the key! After this however the entire stay was wonderful. The Hotel is quirky, with our room opening straight onto the […] breakfast room but it was comfortable and very clean with everything we needed. I think the shower heads needed replacing but the water was hot so did the job! The staff, when they were there, were friendly and very helpful, particularly the man on reception who explained the metro and the best places to visit. The hotel is closed to a handy Metro station and 10 minutes from the Trevi Fountain and lots of places to eat and drink. Read more

Having arrived to a strike at the airport at FCO we were stressed, upset and without a suitcase or any clue what to do. We arrived at Residenza Ki just as Diogo was closing the reception for the night. He was kind, understanding and assured us he would do everything he could to assist us in getting our suitcase back. The room was beautiful and comfortable, […] just what is needed after a long stay walking the streets of Rome. The room was always kept clean and smelt lovely. The authenticity of the building, gorgeous marble staircase, amazing doors and windows was just perfect. We felt we were living the life in Rome in a gorgeous apartment. The bathroom was modern and had everything required including complimentary toiletries The breakfast was lovely, there was a huge amount of choice and the lady serving couldn't have been nicer. She even sent someone to see if we were ok as we slept past breakfast!!! The location of the hotel couldn't have been better. We were just a short walk from the Trevi fountain, close the the Spanish steps and many other amazing sights. There is a main road close by with buses stops, a metro stop is just up the road which can take you to all the major sights. The customer service is the main reason however that we will be returning here again. On numerous occasions Diogo spent a good deal of time helping us source our bag and phone the shuttle company- We were jinxed honestly but Diogo was brilliant for us and we couldn't have asked for more.

We had a lovely stay here, perfectly placed, only a short walk from the Trevi fountain for a very reasonable price. We only had one minor issue and that was turning up at about 8-8.30pm on a sunday evening and having a 20 minute walk to their sister hotel (Saturnia I think it was called) to collect the keys. It is stated on their website that there […] isn't 24 hour reception and there was a very clear map showing the way to the other hotel, but it was dark, we had a rather big wheeled case and obviously this isn't ideal. I probably could have done a little more research for the reception closing time/name and location of the sister hotel etc, but it would have been easier if we had been informed earlier of this information as we could have gotten our airport transfer minibus to drop us off at the sister hotel instead and would have only had to walk the one way back. Despite this the receptionist at the sister hotel was very helpful and clearly explained a quicker way back. In fact, all the staff we encountered during our stay were very friendly and helpful, especially Palmira, the lady assisting with breakfast, serving hot drinks with a smile and ready to book a taxi etc if needed.

If you arrive after 4 pm be prepared to be given directions (pinned to the front door) to a sister hotel (Saturnia) which they claim is 10 minutes away but finding it can (was in my case) add to that.. and if it is dark and wet.. even longer. It took me 55 minutes before I was back. That being said, we loved the hotel. It was centrally located, the […] room was clean and the air conditioning and TV all worked well. Breakfast was cold buffet with great coffee from the friendly lady in charge of it all. Rome became very accessible, given the location. The hotel is next to a small restaurant whose food and drink is excellent - with excellent prices. It also has a head waiter who rivals Basil Faulty in his supposed indifference and rudeness - but just keep smiling at him and he is a softie, really. All in all, a great 9 nights at the hotel.

Fantastic location, great size room but disappointing inside, no shower door, told to leave towels on floor, staff very friendly. Again cannot stress how fantastic the location is, perfect for sites and great restaurants nearby, tour buses stop 3 mins away, 5 mins walk away from Trevi Fountain, 10 mins from Pantheon.

This small hotel is conveniently located, has nice and spacious rooms & good breakfast. The staff is very kind and extremely helpful. We felt truly welcome. Good value for your money!

Very good location for major attractions,very friendly and helpful staff.Room decent size but found bed was awful hard so didnt get great sleep,but some people like a firm mattress. breakfast was ample to start you on your day. metro 5 mins away easy to use. Be warned though we arrived at 11pm and was a note on door that they had no late check in and […] had to go to another hotel to collect keys left us with a map attached to note on door. so after paying 50 euros to get to hotel had to find this other hotel in a city i have never been in wi heavy rucksacks trying to figure out this map says only takes 10 mins on note but thats if you no where your going took us 25 mins to collect keys and same amount of time getting back. So best to turn up earlier but after that excellent break we stayed 3 nights with 2 full days but to see all attractions could have done with another 2 days, but couldnt fault staff very friendly and did apologise for having to go to other hotel to get keys.would reccomend this hotel.

*Location brilliant for access to main areas of interest, like the Trevi fountain, Spanish steps and the Pantheon also very close to metro. *Unfortunately no lift in the hotel and three flights of stairs, although staff did help with lugguage. *Accommodation and breakfast quite basic but hotel clean and friendly.

Located extremely well in the centre of Rome, the b&b suited us to the ground. On arrival, the reception was really helpful and pointed out bits of the city as well as places to eat.

If you look at the price of this hotel, it could sounds as a scam... but it is not! Great location for going around Rome just walking, people working on it are very nice and it was a pleasure to have a talk with them both to have suggestions about where to go or just to have a nice informal speech. I strongly recommend it.

Excellent friendly service from start to finish. Provides all you need for a short break at a fair price. Don't expect fancy extras. The entrance is not too obvious; go thru green door to 1st floor reception.
