City House, Rome

The stay was fine. The host was pleasant and they made sure to stay in contact with us before we checked it. They also gave us tips of taxi fair to their accommodations. The location was amazing. We were steps away from the pantheon.

Great location, clean room. Everything else is not that great. Shower head is at the waist level, impossible to adjust due to the fixture being broken. The bathroom door scraping the floor, so you wake up everyone if you try to go to the bathroom at night. Fridge is tiny and barely cool with no room for anything else but hotel's items they want you to buy. And those stairs... my goodness, so tight that it's a nightmare to carry your suitcase in or out.

We were so happy with our decision to stay at City House in Rome. Daniela and Mario were wonderful hosts and very accommodating to our family (including two young daughters). The location cannot be beat- it is literally a 2 minute walk to the Pantheon! There was a little bit of noise at night since it's in the middle of the city, but that did not detract from our overall experience.

City House is in a fantastic location - next door to Santa Maria Maddelena church, half a block from the Pantheon, about 4 blocks from each of Piazza Novena, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, and in its own small plaza with several good cafes right outside the door. All of this makes up for the slight inconveniences of the apartment itself. The hosts are friendly and accommodating and the room was clean and spacious, but the beds were quite hard and the shower had several issues (slippery floor, leaking door, no anchor for the handheld shower head). This is not a "hotel" but a few nicely restored rooms in a very old building. Visitors must be prepared for a little inconvenience: taxis must drop you half a block away because no cars are allowed on the street, and you must climb narrow stairs up one flight to the rooms. Still, in a city where location is everything, I would recommend this accommodation.

The people who run or own the place are really amazing. Any questions we had they were happy to answer. The place is literally a minute walk to the Pantheon. Lots of places to eat and explore nearby. After 12:00am things kind of due down so noise really isn’t a big worry for the location.
