About

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff are the standout — The team scores 9.1 for Staff and 8.6 for Service, the property's two highest categories, and guests repeatedly mention helpful, English-speaking staff who handled requests and bookings quickly.
- Rooms earn an 8.9 — Guests rate rooms 8.9, praising clean, comfortable beds, balconies on some rooms and apartment-style layouts. Room options are Double/Twin, Standard Double/Twin with balcony, and a Superior Double/Twin with terrace.
- Breakfast on the terrace — Multiple guests highlight breakfast on the top-floor terrace — ham, salami, cheese, yoghurt, muesli, pastries and hot and cold drinks. Dining is rated 8.4, and there's a ground-floor restaurant noted as running 20:00–24:00.
- Easy transport links — Numidio Quadrato Metro is 300 metres away (a 3-minute walk) and a tram stop sits opposite. Guests reach the centre in about 15 minutes by tram or under 30 minutes by Metro.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort rating is a red flag — The one weak signal in the profile is the Comfort category at 5.0, well below the overall 8.4 rating. Guests' written reviews don't reveal the reason.
- Check-in and check-out windows are tight — Check-in is limited to 14:00–22:30 and check-out is by 10:00. The property does offer express and VIP check-in/out, but arrival times outside that window will need planning.
- The location is outside the historic centre — Fine if you want to dodge the crowds, but the Roman Forum is a 15-minute drive away and the centre is still a 15-to-30-minute commute. It's a base for transport users, not a doorstop to the sights.
- Starting price is high for a guest house — The listed from-price is £894, a hefty sum for guest-house accommodation. Value is rated 8.3 by guests, so the balance may work out, but it's worth checking exactly what the rate covers before booking.

04 — Location
Getting around Rome
The property sits in Rome.
Getting around: Numidio Quadrato Metro station is about 300 metres away, or a 3-minute walk, and a tram stop is directly opposite the guest house. Guests describe roughly 15-minute journeys into the centre by tram and no more than 30 minutes by Metro.
Nearby sights: Piazza Dei Tribuni is a 5-minute walk from the door, and Mercato Tuscolano III is close enough for a short stroll. The Roman Forum is about a 15-minute drive away.
Eating locally: Guests repeatedly note the area's restaurants cost a fraction of central Rome prices. The on-site ground-floor restaurant runs from 20:00 to 24:00, and the Tintori bar just down the road is recommended for food and wine.

The bottom line
City Guest House is not a luxury stay, and the from-price of £894 means it isn't obviously cheap. What it delivers is consistency: staff at 9.1, rooms at 8.9, a Metro stop a 3-minute walk away and a terrace breakfast guests genuinely remember. The 5.0 comfort score, the 14:00–22:30 check-in window and the distance from the historic centre mean it won't suit everyone, but as a service-led base in Rome it's an easy recommendation.
8.4Best for travellers who value service and Metro access over a central address, and who don't mind planning around a fixed check-in window.
