We stayed at Basilio 55 for 5 nights, and it turned out to be just right for us. The hotel is tucked away on a quiet side street just up from Piazza Barberini, making it a peaceful yet convenient base for exploring Rome. The quirky little lift to the upper floors was quite a novelty — cosy, but it added to the charm! Our room was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom, while a little “tired” in places, was spotless and the shower always provided plenty of hot water. A big thank you to Mario, the hotel manager, who was extremely helpful throughout our stay. He assisted us in booking tickets for the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Green Line hop-on hop-off bus — things I really should have arranged before our trip. The location was excellent, with a Metro station right at the bottom of the street. At just €1.30 per trip using contactless payment, it was incredibly easy and convenient to get around the city. Overall, we had a lovely stay. As part of an Expedia package with flights, it was also very reasonably priced. Thanks again for all your help and advice, Mario!

Had a wonderful three night stay. Our host, Mario, was extremely helpful in navigating us on the hat to see, how to get there and where to eat. Cafe next door was terrific and we were walking distance to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. There is a Metro Station right down the block that connects to the Vatican and Termini Station. Very convenient!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Be aware they’ll charge for your free breakfast!!

Be careful! They are charging you for your free breakfast!!!! They gave us coupons for a free breakfast but didn’t mention we were not allowed to eat fruit. We took a fruit and on departure they charged us 5€ saying that there coupon is only available for 1 croissant and 1 coffee. It was dishonest considering the poor breakfast choice. There wasn’t even enough croissants for everyone! The bed were ok but the washroom smelled like humidity and wasn’t really clean. (Mole) Angelika was the nicest person to work there. They are lucky to have her, she was a great help for information.
