Gialel B&B, Rome

The heat in the room was stifling without an aircon.

It's an average place to stay for a couple of days. It's located in the centre of Rome very close to everything. Literally walking distance from a lot of famous places. It's a good value for money.

Friendly staff that gave us a map and pointed out places of interest on the map, which was very helpful for us to get exploring quickly. Room was large, had three single beds and a small fridge. We only needed two beds, so the third held our luggage, which was great to not have it on the floor. Ceiling fan in the room was great for nighttime. Daily housekeeping. Two shared bathrooms were plenty for the five rooms. We never had to wait to use the restrooms, which were kept clean and well supplied. One of the restrooms had a small shower, but the other shower was large. We saw other guests, but never heard them. Staff arranged for driver to pick us up at 4am for a ride to the airport. Driver was ready and waiting when we were ready at 5 minutes to 4am. Wifi was a little spotty as we were in the farthest room from the office and our beds were on the far side of the large room, but it was fine by the room door. Getting up to the B&B took a few minutes. Best to call the phone number to let them know you are there so they can buzz the door open as we pushed the button to ring them and didn't get a response. Once they opened the door, there is a lift to the second floor where staff greeted us, checked us in, and gave us the keys to get into the door at the street, into the B&B, and into the room. Would definately consider staying there again.

The hotel was good, in a relatively quiet residential location, and not too far from main attractions in Rome. The room cannot be locked without a key, so 2 keys should be provided for 2 guests so that independent movement is possible. The smaller bed in our room had too much sag and was uncomfortable. A microwave, at least in the common area, would be nice.
