The accommodations were impeccably clean and Nedaesha went out of her way anticipating our needs before we knew what they were. We appreciated the cholov yisroel breakfasts which kept us going til dinner and the plentiful shabos meals. Several kosher restaurants are nearby. The location was convenient, half a block from the bus stop which took us to Piazza Venezia (where all our touring started each day) in just 20 minutes. If we return to Rome, we would definitely stay at My Guest Roma again.

The bathroom was a good size and the shower was great. The grocery store was close by and the elevator in the building worked. But the highlight was Valeria. She greeted us at the desk when we arrived, had a map, food suggestions, and a load of passion for the city of Rome. She even called us a taxi for the airport and he was fantastic too. We loved talking to Valeria and hope to be back some day!

An easy walk if you don't have too much luggage. There are 2 train station nearby as well. I liked its proximity to the Colosseo. The staff was friendly and the room was clean, although small (even by european standards). there's limited check in hours since the staff is only around from 8a-4p. Otherwise it was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast consists of coffee, pastries and a sandwich. I would recommend staying here.

If booking with them, try to ask for the green room (there's something like 10 rooms altogether). I can't remember the number/letter of the room but it's the green one across the hall from the bathroom. There's also a lovely terrace, the breakfast wasn't at all bad, and in general this is just a lovely place, especially for the price. I'm definitely staying here the next time I'm in Rome.

It's a small place - 6 rooms all together - and it feels private and cozy. My partner and I were traveling here with his family (so we stayed in 3 rooms for three nights) and then just the two of us returned for a final night in Rome a week or so later before heading home to the US. Both times, we were greeted like family. The friendly, well-spoken staff here (front reception speaks fantastic English, and we communicated with everyone else with ease as well, with very little Italian in our vocabulary) were some of the most accommodating people I've ever encountered. It really felt like they were friends welcoming us into their home, asking how our day and our lunch was. David was the shining star - he made outstanding lunch and dinner reservations (and recommendations) for the 6 of us for most of our stay in Rome. Definitely take his restaurant suggestions. Everyone, though, was eager to help in every way they could, including helping us navigate public transportation. If the people here and caliber of service they provide really are the cake, the lovely, fresh rooms were the icing. Speaking of cake, breakfast offerings were diverse and delicious - pastries, tarts, cereal, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, sliced meats and cheese, toast, fresh fruit, espresso (Stefania made some of THE best cappuccino we tasted in Rome) and coffee drinks, juice. The eating area was adorable. I would return to Papa Vista in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone in Rome looking for a cool and comfortable place with caring, amiable hosts at the front desk.

Epigraph for this review: "Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's…read moreawful." -- Samuel Beckett, "Waiting for Godot." * * * I was on my honeymoon in Barcelona, and I decided to treat my husband to a spontaneous trip to Rome for one night (Ryan Air had a cheap flight). I made reservations at the hotel ahead of time, and someone from the hotel emailed me to ask when I would be coming in. I gave them my flight info; they told me it would take us about an hour and a half to get to the hotel and that they'd be ready for us. Everything seemed all set. On our one and only day in Rome, we got to the hotel around 2 pm, ready to put our bag down, take a quick shower, and go exploring. The hotel's main door (street level) was locked. I rang and rang the bell. Nothing. Eventually, a resident of the building showed up, unlocked the door. I asked if we could go in, and he kindly held the door open. I saw the hotel was on the third floor, so we took the elevator up with him. Got to the hotel's door -- locked again. I banged on the door. No answer. There was a phone number for emergencies right outside. We took the number down and left. Thankfully, there's a hotel right across the street. I went in to ask the lady at the reception the awkward question -- could she call our hotel for us? (My phone doesn't work abroad.) She was kind enough to help. She got through to someone, who said she would call the hotel and said someone should be there. We went outside and waited for someone to open the hotel doors. Nope. Nothing. I went back to the kind receptionist when no one seemed to be coming or going, and right as I did, the Emergency Number Lady called back and asked to speak with me. She said someone could be there to let us in at 5:00 pm (reminder: the hotel was expecting us around 1:30-2 pm). I told her there was NO WAY we could do that, that we had one night in Rome and we were ready to shower and go out 45 minutes ago. She must not have listened because she said "maybe you can come back tomorrow." ?!? I told her again that we were in Rome for only ONE DAY and would be checking out the next morning. I made her cancel the reservation at no charge and booked a room at the hotel across the street with the kind receptionist and a much more welcoming staff.

After reading the many, many glowing reviews online, we decided to book our 4 night stay in Rome…read morehere. We were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary, and we wanted something romantic and central. All other hotels looked dinky and small, while Villa Magnolia looked spacious and lush. We were NOT disappointed. When we first pulled up in the taxi we were nervous because it's sort of tucked away and you think it's in the middle of nowhere, but once you get the lay of the land it's clear that you are about a 10-20 minute walk from the Vatican and Trastevere (highly recommend this area for shopping and eating). Sante greeted us and explained everything we needed to know, and all the women who we met who work there were kind and welcoming. Their espresso is to die for-it's amazing! The rooms are beautiful and spacious and you have your own entrance and key to get in the gate. We didn't make it for breakfast each day, but the staff was happy to bring us some espresso and pastries to our room when we woke up and asked. They gladly called taxis for us, provided recommendations, and cleaned our room each day. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Rome! We went to Amsterdam afterwards and realized we had been spoiled with the large room size at Villa Magnolia! Room Tip: We had Room #2 which was the closest to the lobby and front entrance.

I especially loved the pastries and fruit juice at breakfast, though it would have been nice if they had soy milk to go with the breakfast cereal (I had to buy my own).
