Appia Antica Guest House

Very nice and comfortable. 1. I will start from the attention and attitude of aparment-hostel owner Mr. Maurizio. RESPECT. We arrived by night flight, very late and he personally himself meet us at the entrance at 2 am as agreed. ( See the fee details for late check in reservation page). Mr. Maurizio was available by what's app always and did support us, replied to all questions. Very supportive gentleman and my great respect to him for all things. 2. About apartment: It is new renovated small hostel with 4 rooms, modified from apartment. All rooms have got separate nice bathrooms. Bathrooms are not in the room but close to the door of your room, with 1 meter distance, which is absolutely no issue and we did find it very comfortable. We stayed in biggest family room for 4 person with 2 very comfortable quin beds, with perfect mattresses and clean white covers.Room is enough large with refrigerator, TV and good furniture. In reality the rooms are more beautiful than in picture of the Hotels com. 3. Location : The location of this place is not far from center. There are 2-3 bus ways to the center, one of them is central way which is 400-500 meter, another bus road is 300 meter from this apartment and takes approximately 15-20 minutes to get to the he center. Price is 1.50 eur and you may use your bank cards or by a ticket which can be used for metro and will be available for 100 minutes. Even we tried to walk from center back to the apartment, it was ok and not hard, it took 35 minutes.

A Convenient Stay with Pros and Cons The Attica Guesthouse is located on the first floor of a residential building and offers corridor rooms with separated private bathrooms and a small shared kitchen. I will list positive and negative points from my personal experience (4 nights stay) . Among positives: -Friendly host: Maurizio is quick to respond and always eager to help. -Room amenities: The room comes with a fridge, and complimentary snacks, drinks, and yogurt free of charge. -Location: Walking distance to historical landmarks like the Baths of Caracalla, the Appian Way, the Colosseum, and convenient for La Nuvola convention center. Among negatives: -Distance from metro: nearest Garbatella station is 1.5 km away, which can be inconvenient for walking, especially late hours. -Value for money: The price for a corridor room is comparable to a studio or budget hotel, plus additional costs like €20 for cleaning and €7 per person/night for city tax (payable on-site) add up. -While the bathroom is private, it's located outside the room in the shared corridor, which reduces the level of privacy compared to having an ensuite. You still need to step into the common area to access it. Mornings can be quite noisy as other guests use the shared corridor for their bathrooms and the kitchen.

The unit could use a little deep cleaning. We found a T-shirt behind the nightstand. The owner was so nice. But the access to the unit was a little challenging. Limited transportation. The room was small and crowded.

We enjoyed our stay. We felt safe walking in the area. Check in was easy and we were greeted by staff upon arrival. It was a good home base for our 3 night stay. The location was about a 20-30 minute bus ride to the must see areas of the city. Would not consider this walkable. We did walk it one evening and it took around an hour to get to the Colosseum. The room was nicely appointed, however the private washroom is not attached to the bedroom. It is located across the hallway which is shared with other guests. The bathroom also gets very humid so it’s something to keep in mind for anything you leave in there.

Had an amazing stay here. The host welcomed us very friendly and gave us restaurant recommendations around the area. He was also always available over whatsapp. Very new and clean accommodation.
