Reviews of In the Center Guesthouse

Bizarre system of apps and locks, didn't feel safe. The owners pay for good reviews with a "discount". Will not be coming back and do not recommend to others.

The place was beautiful and clean. Host was also super nice and even when we didn’t meet she communicated perfectly thru the phone with us. The location is close to colosseum and the old town. Beautiful restaurants around. We were happy. Will be back definitely. Thank you!🙏😊

Clean, tidy, room in a quiet and safe neighborhood, close to the train station, metro, and a beautiful park. You can easily walk to the sights. Contact with the owner was quick. We'll definitely be back!

It was cozy and comfortable. Check in was very easygoing and checkout as well. The host was very easygoing and we had great communication. The room had all the amenities and we didn’t need anything extra. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean and the bath was spacious and cozy.

Nothing to complain about

Great location, walking distance to the main touristic spots

Nice sized room, great location

Shower screen let water leak, and couldn't get hot water for more than a minute

The stay here was great. The proximity to Termini station, but also to the tourist attractions, gave us mobility. The host was great! Although we didn't meet face-to-face, she was constantly in touch with us and made it easier for us to solve various situations. She also prepared a map for us with places to visit or where to eat.

In the bathroom, it took time for the water to heat.

I really liked the old time charm that the room had and the building had. The automated check in was amazing and super smooth, the management replied to all our queries at a satisfying rate and the stay was super close to the metro station making accessibility to the colloseum, trevis fountain and piazza di spagna super convenient! Really good location.

The bathroom was clean and pretty but the bath door did not cover the bath area completely so the water used to come out. Also we had to carry 20+ kg suitcases on the stairs to the 3rd floor because there were no lifts! These are minor cons and i would still really recommend the beautiful stay!

The location is great, very close to the metro station and close to restaurants/bistros where we had breakfast. The owner was very helpful, he provided recommendations and was available to answer all the questions we had.

The room was quite small. The building does not have an elevator and the apartment is at the 3rd floor.

Good location. Easy to access after hours. Everything we need for a comfortable stay!

Easy acces

Need to clean shower.

It’s really close to the colosseum and a lot of tourist activities

You can hear a lot of noise from the outside and from the guests

Location wise it’s not bad. Close to train station and you can walk to nearby nice streets and restaurants.

Where do I begin? The check in is virtual which is fine (not the first time) but I ran into problems with unlocking the doors. There are 2 main doors and once you are in you get to your door with its own key. The virtual unlocking of the doors is based on the assumption that you will have data and battery on your phone (this may be problematic for some and it is thus not inclusive). Once you get your physical keys, it is supposed to open all 3 doors. Mine did not open the first 2 and I had to rely on the virtual unlocking which meant I had to watch out to have enough data and battery on my phone by end of day. You can contact the “reception” via WhatsApp and they will reply promptly. The problem is they told me I should have no issues with my keys because they “worked for the colleague who was there in the morning”….ok but the keys were on me. I then sent them a video attempting to unlock the doors and they proceeded to tell me how to open a door (ridiculous) and then told me I should continue to rely on the online method of unlocking the doors. Great. Next, the noise of people locking and unlocking throughout the night resonates throughout the entire floor. The TV in my “room” did not work but it’s not a big deal. I know there are different room sizes so I only speak from my experience. I got the solo room and it looked and felt like a prison cell. It was depressing and all I wanted to do was to pass out as quickly as possible to wake up and leave that place. I got into an argument over my experience with the guesthouse and they told me I was rude when I told them that I don’t think they actually care about their guests. My concerns were not addressed and caused me to hate Rome on my first night there. I had to find another guesthouse for my next 2 nights and lost my money at this crap place.
