The room was perfect. The bed was really nice. Service from Mario was great. He gave us some great tips on how to get by in the city. He recommended us some really nice restaurants and hot spots to visit. Mario is really friendly and he cared about us, he wanted us to have a great time, and we did! Thank you!

Our stay was amazing Angelica the receptionist is the most helpful young lady that we have encountered thru out our journey of several countries to date. Not only was she helpful and informative she made our stay the highlight of our holidays the company she works for should be proud to have such such a valuable asset

Room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. There was some mold on the shower tile and the shower drain was slow but otherwise very nice and met our needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was fantastic with easy access to shops, restaurants and metro. Would recommend.

Booked last minute for the last night of our trip before flying out of Rome. What a great choice to stay here. The owner Mario is worth the visit alone. He was so welcoming, funny, gave us some great recommendations. He treated us like we were family. He was also very helpful in sorting out some last minute private shuttles due to flight changes. Hotel is in a great location and has everything we needed. It was clean as well. No issues at all. We’ll definitely be back and recommend staying here. Grazie Mille Mario from your Portuguese friends in Canada! Ciao

Our bathroom had a sewer smell that was very unpleasant. The ventilation fan made the bathroom heat up quickly. As this was a separate bathroom (outside of the bedroom with a common walkway), it made it very hard to cool down or air out the smell. There was no mirror in the main bedroom, which required getting ready in the bathroom (which as noted above was not pleasant). Besides this, the staff were lovely and the hotel was in a great location.

Fantastic stay, fantastic staff

We stayed at Basilio 55 Rome for 6 nights and have nothing but positive things to say about the hotel, staff, and location. Our room was clean and the bedding was comfortable. The heat and air conditioning worked well when we needed them (weird to need them both in the same trip). The staff are AMAZING. So helpful and responsible, both before the trip and during our stay. Mario had lots of good information about things to do and helped us book a tour and airport transport. The location of the hotel was perfect - close to the metro and lots of the sights we wanted to see, close to lots of good restaurants too. But it was also on a quiet street, so that was good. Our room was quiet and comfortable. We'd 100% recommend staying here and would stay again if we come back to Rome. Thanks Basilio 55 staff for a great visit!

Don’t Stay Here

Don’t stay here. Everywhere else in Italy, people took pride in their work and service — but not this place. In fact, they actually ended up scamming us. The hotel claims to have air conditioning: it does not. We were in Italy during a heat wave, and when we entered the oven-hot room and the AC wasn’t working, I told the desk. The receptionist’s explanation: you can’t set the AC to your desired temp; you need to set it to 27 C (81 F) and work on incrementally lowering it. I explained to her once more —though it was obvious now she didn’t need to be told — that the AC is broken. She came to the room and played with the remote (see picture) while on the phone with the owner. After hanging up, she relayed the owner’s message: that’s just the way it is. When we told her that we aren’t going to stay here then, she apologized for the inconvenience and told us a refund would take a few days to clear. We took the hotel at their word, that they would cancel the reservation, and went on our way. Well, they never canceled the reservation. When we inquired with them about the refund, they told us to call hotels.com. What they told hotels.com is that we “checked out early”—and even though we left immediately because of the broken AC, they actually charged us for 3 nights. Meanwhile, they probably made double on the room by releasing it to some other poor traveler. Don’t be that traveler. Stay elsewhere. (Side-note: there was tons of garbage on top of the closet from previous guests.)

Las fotos no corresponden a lo que ofrecen, esas fotos han de ser muy viejas, para mí no es un hotel, es un hostal viejo con 3 puertas para llegar a tu habitación, la luz se tarda en prender con la tarjeta, cuarto viejo y sucio, baño está afuera del cuarto y apesta con un olor muy desagradable, aparte de estar extremadamente sucio lleno de hongos, la señora de abajo que nos recibió anoche fue muy amable pero el señor de la mañana es un ratero porque nos dijeron cuando llegamos a las 10pm que el check out es a las 12 y cuando bajamos por la mañana nos cobraron 20 euros más porque el señor insiste que era a las 10am, no pasamos ni 20 horas en el hotel y ya te quieren cobrar más, muy mala manera de robar, la verdad no es un lugar recomendable para quedarse…

When we arrived, no one was on site to check us in. We were unable to enter the building. We called and were disconnected multiple times because the wi-fi and cell service was spotty because of the 'old building'. We were given instructions over the phone that were confusing because we needed to access a lock box and the room numbers weren't visible. After 40 minutes someone came to let us in. The key didn't work easily. 2 of the 4 pillows had stuffing instead of a pillow. The toiletries were sub-par and not labeled because the container was old and worn. The ride to the airport was posted on the site as 60 euros but we were charged 75. I asked for a refund and cancellation at check in because of all the issues but was told no.

J'ai été avec ma fille dans cet hôtel pendant 6 nuits au moment des congés de Carnaval. Hôtel charmant dans une rue calme. Très bien situé (à quelques minutes à pied de la Villa Borghese). Pour ceux qui aiment marcher, il est possible de visiter les incontournables à pied (nous avons été au Vatican et dans le Trastevere à pied). Chambre impeccable, literie d'excellente qualité. Nous y avons très bien dormi. Salle de bain propre. Nous n'avons pas testé le petit déjeuner plutôt pour avoir suffisamment faim à midi et profiter de la gastronomie italienne. Mention spéciale au personnel : attentifs, chalereux, très sympathiques. La jeune fille qui était à l'accueil à notre arrivée parle un anglais impeccable. Mario, le gérant, est un excellent ambassadeur de l'accueil à l'italienne et vous donnera des bons conseils (en français et en portugais avec une sauce d'espagnol). Rome nous a enchantée et nous avous hâte d'y retourner et j'espère séjourner à nouveau dans cet hôtel.

Convenient but Gross

Hotel staff was friendly and let us check in early. Location was convenient to metro and tourist attractions. Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was in horrendous shape. Mold was everywhere, black and pink. The toilet leaked at the base if flushed more than once or twice in a few hours. Mold was by the entry door as well. Nothing felt clean. Room was clearly minimally taken care of. One bed was shoved halfway under a desk. Housekeeping never took out the trash in our time there. Subpar at best.

El check in terrible. Una de las personas que nos recibió a fuerza quería darnos otra habitación y cobrarnos más. No aceptan pagos con tarjeta y el último día no había agua caliente.

Ok

Location was amazing. The area is very lovely with good restaurants around, and not a far walk from everywhere you need to go. The service was hit or miss. The person working our last day was excellent, booking a car and giving great advice. Other staff were not as great. One staff member told us there was no laundry service — despite it saying so on the website. Another staff member said that they could not reserve us a car in off hours, which was before 7:30 am or after 9:30 pm.

BnB from Hell

Terrible terrible experience! It's a BnB and it's very much run down. No upkeep at all with scratches all over the walls, faucets that don't work and everything is just worn and old. Also, if you arrive after 9:30pm be prepared to wait on the street for at least 30 minutes while they come from somewhere else to open up for you. And you'll be charged 20 euros per hour for arrivals after 9:30pm. (their website says free late check-ins). Manager is very rude too. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from this place

The room we were in was great, a big room with a Queen bed and 2 singles as there were 3 of us, was roomy. Airconditioning was awesome as it was mid summer and very hot outside. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to Trevi Fountain and lots of shops, restaurants & transport very convenient. Lovely stay. Thank you :)

I shouldn't trust the review score. After encountering ridiculous issues at this hotel, I checked the reviews and found everything was mentioned before. And I may find the reason is the manager only cares charging guests extra fees and cutting costs wherever possible 1st, The cleanliness makes me keep feeling disgusted whenever I think I have slept there, and this also made it hard to get asleep. Multiple hairs on the bed once I arrive, which made me doubt whether they have changed the sheet. Also manager, there is so much waste under the toilet rim. Can you please spend some money to hire someone to clean the toilet not only in the most visible areas? 2nd, You can not arrive after 9:30pm. The late fee is 20 euros/hour, but the hours does not depend on you, but depends on when the manager will arrive! So if he is delayed, be ready to pay 100 euros to just get in. I arrived at 10:05pm and called the manager, he said "you have to type in expedia you accept the late fee, otherwise I won't come". I typed but he could not see, so I waited 1 hour in the unsafe dark. When he arrived, he charged me 40 euros because he was late for 1.5 hours?! I had no choice at that late. 3rd, the hotel is in disrepair. The manager and I entered the room and the toilet bowl kept running water which was really noisy. He refused to change the room. I can not get asleep, until 2-hour waiting outside at next day noon for repair. And no compensation!

Cons- I was very disappointed with the hotel overall, and felt that it is not worth the approximate $200 a night we paid. To begin with, our room was poorly lit...we barely had any light. The bathroom was old and dirty...hardly any shower pressure...and a lack of hot water. The worst part was that the air conditioner didn't seem to work properly. The hotel itself is old, poorly maintained and falling apart, it could use a paint job, and definitely some major renovations especially the bathrooms. Pros- The employees I did come across were kind and quite helpful. We met the manager as we checked out and he was so nice, very helpful and gave us some great tips about our travels. Additionally, the hotel is an amazing location as you are pretty much in walking distance to everything.
