Clean and lovely in Rome
Just around the block from a subway stop and a few blocks from the Vatican museum. Very relaxed, clean and comfortable. Our hostess met us at check-in and gave lots of sight-seeing recommendations, drawing directions on a map. Breakfast is self-serve with a full kitchen at your disposal should you want to prepare yourself something more involved than “continental”. Nice restaurant just downstairs has nice atmosphere and food for lunch/dinner. We used the airport transfer service for 50 euro. (Excellent) and would not recommend driving yourself in Rome.

Great location, quiet room, artistically decorated
Very convenient location, Metro stop right around the corner, 5 min walk to Vatican Museum. Room is quiet and artistically decorated. Juliana is very hospitable, offers helpful tips and recommendations for food, attractions and transportations. She helped us arranged FCO airport pickup to B&B in the evening. €50 door to door service w a very nice passenger van for 3 of us and big luggages.

Our original BnB overbooked, we were given some options by Orbitz and selected this property. Please be aware that even though it’s a BnB it operates more like an apartment, you wash your own dishes, and select food to eat from the refrigerator or pantry. The hosts are excellent and very helpful, it’s just not what we expected.

It was a pleasure meeting Julianna and Alessandro and their youngest baby! We took a food tour with "Real Local Food Experience" that came recommended and it was GREAT other pluses, coffee bar and light breakfast at this B&B, need to get your hair done? Salon across the street is excellent, restaurant next door won't disappoint, walking distance to Vatican, subway, and many places of interest. I would stay here again!

great location!
the location of the hotel was perfect for us as we were touring the Vatican area. we were able to check in early as requested as we were rushing to see the Pope on the Sunday when we arrived. there was a variety of snacks available during the day and there was yoghurt, cheese, ham, juices, cereals, bread available for breakfast and even during the day and there was gourmet coffee available throughout our stay as well as a variety of tea choices. great stay! room was clean and though bathroom was small it was also clean.

Gli Artisti B&B is based in a large building a long way back from the street so it is unbelievably quiet and peaceful. The owner Alessandro is helpful and when we arrived he took time to show us the best places to see, eat, catch buses etc. He also booked us tours for the Colosseum and the Vatican. The breakfast area was a few steps away from our bedroom so we could just pop out and help ourselves to drinks etc. It also gave me somewhere to sit whilst my daughters were going off to sleep. A great B&B and excellently located for visiting the Vatican.

This was a great place. The location is close to the Vatican and many restaurants. The owner took us on a tour of the market with food samples - it was excellent. We also took part in learning how to make fresh pasta - very fun and excellent. Rooms were great. The elevator was very helpful. Wonderful place and owner.

Excellent Stay in Rome
We were very happy to stay at Gli Artisti during our visit in Rome. Gli Artisti is located at a great location: about 10 minute walk to Vatican City or Museum, 5 minute to Metro, and very close to other attractions. The neighborhood is nice, and it has a lot of business around to eat or shop if needed. The B&B set up is nice and the guests have access to the kitchen. The kitchen has several tables, and it stocks with snacks, fruits, juices, and waters. It was nice to grab some snacks or juices just like home after a day of sightseeing. Our room is roomy and quiet, and we did not hear any noise from our neighbors during our stay. Juliana, the owner, is nice and helpful. She provided us tips and information about attractions from a local point of views. In addition, she was able to arrange rides from/to airport or train station when needed. Overall, we had a great experience with Gli Artisti, and highly recommended if you will visit Rome.

Great service in Rome
It is difficult to decide what was the best thing about the hotel. As a hostess, Juliana is one of the best I have come across: attentive, friendly, gave advise on places to eat and how to get there, tips on what to do and what to buy to get across town. The rooms are stunning and beautifully decorated; spacious rooms and extremely comfortable bed. The locations is perfect as the area is calm, feels safe, is close to the bus, metro, and tram, as well as next to the St. Peter's Square and the Vatican. There is no doubt in my mind this is the place I would stay if I were to return to Rome.

Nice friendly place in great location in Rome.
Staff was very kind, relaxed, and helpful, although not always there. Our room was small for 3 people, but clean and comfortable. Colorful artwork everywhere. Breakfast was self serve, which was great for us as we like to get going early in the morning and didn't have to wait around for a breakfast to be set out by staff. The location is just minute from the Vatican, and around the corner from a subway stop.

Amazing Stay at Gli Artisti!
Gli Artisti was amazing! Was traveling with wife and two grown children. The quad room was plenty big, the bathroom wonderful and the overall friendliness and hospitality unbeatable. Breakfast in the morning was terrific and when we asked for recommendations for restaurants we were definitely steered in right direction. They said we may need to wait a bit to be seated but was well worth the wait -- one of our best meals (!) -- and away from the tourist attractions around the Vatican. Metro just a few blocks away was an added bonus. Our only regret was we were only there for two nights. We'll definitely be back again.

Highly Recommended
The Gli Artisti was wonderful! It is a small B&B VERY close to the Vatican. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a small grocery store just around the corner. We had a very quiet room for resting between our adventures. The facility is in a beautiful old building, but the interior of the Gli Artisti was very modern. The room was very clean, with fun decorations (we had the green room). We visited Rome in May, and we did use our room's air-conditioning. Some Rome hotels do not provide AC this early in the year. All the staff members were friendly. Breakfast included pastries, cold cuts, cereal, and juice. I highly recommend this hotel!

Nice stay but infrastructure needed upgrade.
Friendly staff who are willing to go the extra mile to accomodate you. We had to leave early in the morning for a flight and they don't mind starting their breakfast an hour and a half early just for us. However, infrastructure needed upgrade. Power was cut twice during our 3 evening stay. I suppose it is due to system overload and us occupying 3 rooms didn't do anything out of the extraordinary as far as power usage goes. Problem is without the power, the phone does not work.. We have to go across the street to a restaurant to call the owner to get problem fixed. They did turn up within an hour or so but imagine it is late in the evening and no one is there to let us use the phone. Hot water was off once and we had to take ice cold shower because we arrive back to hotel late and don't want to call the owner. They should advise guests of possibility of power or hot water problem and show them how to throw the switch in case it happened.

Home from home next door to the Vatican!
We had a wonderful stay in Rome for my 30th birthday! Gli Artisti B&B was just what we needed. A simple, no fuss kind of place, but a little home from home with a super friendly and helpful host - Alessandro. The location was perfect for cramming in all of the sights that Rome has to offer. You're literally 2 minutes from the Vatican. Quiet area by night, but with some lovely local restaurants, so not a problem to not be right in the thick of the night life. Buses are really easy from there to everywhere from just a couple of blocks away. We loved our stay and I would highly recommend Alessandro's to any first time Rome visitors!

One night stay- wish it was longer!
Alessandro and Cynthia made our stay extremely comfortable and more than accommodating! We stayed in the green room. It was beautifully decorated, very spacious and the bedding was super comfy. Also, the B&B was spotless. The location is excellent for travel throughout the city as there is the Ottaviano Metro stop around the corner. The Vatican walls are RIGHT there. Great locale and easy to navigate. There are two restaurants in the immediate area - one, just down stairs from the B&B, L'Isola Pizzeria (def not just pizza). We chose to eat here for our last evening in Rome. Food was very good. The other restaurant is kaddy corner to the B&B, The Caravan. We stopped in for a drink and possible dinner. We found the waitstaff to be rude, pushy and employing pressure tactics to purchase sub-par food. The house wine was not enjoyable, either. We would highly recommend Gli Artisit!

This is residential building few blocks from Vatican, very convenient if you want to be in this area. Our room was small but clean, only missing thing in our room was safe.

Sweet little spot near Ottaviano
If you're looking to be close to the metro in a just-like-home spot then Gli Artisti is it. Not too hard to find (but the search is of course part of the adventure!) and comfortable all around, Gli Artisti is a quaint b&b with charm and hospitality. Stayed for just one night and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Beautiful B&B in great location
Room was artistically decorated and very comfortable. Our hostess although speaking little English made us feel at home and even served us breakfast early since we had an early tour. The restaurant she recommended for dinner which was right down the street was fantastic and reasonably priced. There were always cold bottles of water for us to take with us and snacks for when we returned in the afternoons. The location is great since it's right by the metro and is minutes away from the Vatican. Lot's of great restaurants in the area and neighborhood was clean and safe. Would stay here again!

Vom Check-In bis zum Check-Out war alles perfekt. Das Zimmer hat eine gute Größe, ist sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Bad war ebenfalls toll und mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht (Haartrockner, Duschgel und Shampoo, Handtücher in drei Größen). Das Frühstück ist für italienische Verhältnis super. Für uns absolut ausreichend (Müsli, Joghurt, Brot, Wurst und Käse). Es steht ein Kaffeevollautomat zur Verfügung. Im Vorfeld fragte ich nach Sojamilch, die dann extra für mich beschafft wurde. Die Lage ist auch grandios. Direkt um die Ecke zur Metro oder vielen Buslinien. Und natürlich direkt am Vatikan gelegen (10 Minuten zu Fuß). Absolut zu empfehlen! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!
