Rooms are on the smaller side, but considering the price and location, this guesthouse offers excellent value. Just a 5-minute walk from the station, around 25 minutes to the Colosseum, and under an hour to Vatican City. If you prefer not to walk, the metro station is conveniently nearby. There are also plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was generous, featuring pizza, doughnuts, apple turnovers, yoghurt, and fresh orange juice – a good selection if you enjoy something sweet or light in the morning. Please note , that access to the property is via a flight of stairs.

Unfortunately, there was no way to make coffee in our room. Only green tea packets were provided, however, we do not drink green tea. Lorenzo is very responsive, and he stated that he would have bought instant coffee for us if we had reached out to him earlier. Basic bathroom toiletries included little shampoo & shower gel packets as well as a bar of soap. If you use hair conditioner and body lotion, bring your own. The room has good A/C and you can adjust the temperature. When we returned to our room at the end of each day, we noticed that the A/C had been shut off. This was probably done to save energy, but the room was pretty uncomfortable until we ran the A/C for a while after returning.

We enjoyed our 3-night stay. The room was spacious and the location was very convenient, a stone’s throw from the train station. We had a completely private and undisturbed stay while we were in our room. Lorenzo was very friendly and welcoming. He left a bottle of wine in our room which we greatly enjoyed. For breakfast he made us a great cappuccino and offered pastries, fruit, and yogurt. Breakfast time starts at 8 am. When we informed Lorenzo that we would leave earlier than that on 2 mornings, Lorenzo left a bag with breakfast food in our room the day before.

Everything is good

Perfect location: just feel steps from the central station with metro to the tourist spots and train to the airport. Host is super nice, responsive, helpful, took care of everything we need. Room is clean. Air-con is perfect and silent. Breakfast is wonderful with many options. We can’t finish even half of them. Thanks host to prepare our breakfast very early in the morning before 7am. Everything is perfect. It feels like home.

Lorenzo was a fantastic host, makes you feel like part of the family. Breakfast is plentiful and different every day. Location is very good, very close to train station, restaurants and tourist sights. Would definitely recommend staying at La Girandola.

There was nothing not to like here.

The location was perfect and is less than 5 minutes walk from Roma Termini main station. This is very convenient for arriving and leaving Rome. All attractions and tourist sights were within 30 minutes or less walk from the accommodation. Public transport is accessible nearby if you don't enjoy the walk. Lorenzo is the best host, and nothing was a bother. He has an engaging and cherry personality. We were able to check in early, and our room was ready for us. He made us coffee and gave us a biscuit on arrival. He also allowed us to store our bags on the day of leaving as our train to the airport did not leave until 5pm. The breakfasts (see pictures) were very generous and varied each day. We couldn't eat it all, even so we wanted to! The room and bed were both comfortable and very clean. Lorenzo provided recommendations for eating out. The two we chose were handy and excellent. There are many other restaurants on the street, two streets down. If we were to make a 3rd visit to Rome, we would definitely stay here again. To anyone looking for clean and affordable accommodation in a convenient location, I would definitely say you would find Lorenzo's accommodation hard to beat. Thank you, Lorenzo, for your hospitality and for making our stay in Rome so enjoyable and easy. Grazie mille.

Everything was great, clean and very welcoming. Only slight annoyance was the shower is quite small, didn’t provide much room at all. But otherwise, everything was perfect.

The room was great, the location was very close to the train station which is helpful is this is your mode of transport. Lorenzo greeted us himself and offered coffee etc while we waited for our room (we were early). He was more than accommodating. He makes the breakfast himself in the mornings and even packed us a breakfast for the next morning as we had an early start. Would 10/10 stay again.

It was great

Brilliant location for all areas of Rome. The room was soundproofed despite being on a busy road next to the station.

The stairs into the property (about 12) are a bit tough with large luggage, however well worth the effort. Once up the stairs the lift to the first floor was easy.

Everything was fantastic. Good size room (34) Comfy bed and very clean. Bathroom was a good size with a great shower. Loved that we could open a window and look outside. So close to termini station. Even with heavy luggage it was ok. Lorenzo a great host who recommended 5 places to have dinner. We tried 2 and could not fault either one. (#1 & #3 on his printed list) Breakfast in a cute and cosy dining area was a feast, and literally gave us lunch as well. The comment board is very cute and shows Lorenzo is dedicated to making sure his guests are comfortable. A very pleasant young man, and we wish him all the very best.

Amazing welcoming and warm host. Lovely breakfast and a real ‘family feel’ about the place. Host went out their way to provide vegetarian breakfast and provide my favourite drink. Check-in very easy. Host speaks great English. Great value for money. Host even provided us breakfast very early before our flight.

Rome is our first stop and stay for the Italy trip. We really enjoy it. Lorenzo is a wonderful host. He made the apartment very clean and comfy. He is very nice to provide the information we need. The breakfast is very good. It is very close to Rome Central Station, everything is convenient. We loved to stay.

Very small shower stall.

Host Lorenzo was wonderful. Very helpful with local information. Had one of our best meals in Rome at a restaurant he suggested. Crazy breakfast every morning. Too much food but delicious. Close to Roma Termini so was perfect for train travel.
