DANY GUEST HOUSE

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of places in Rome, and DANY GUEST HOUSE is one of those spots that just gets it right. You know that feeling when you walk into a place and immediately think “okay, this works”? That’s exactly what happened here. It’s tucked right on Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore – and I mean literally on the piazza, not some side street where you’re squinting at Google Maps trying to figure out where the hell you are.

The thing about this location is that you’re in Monti, which honestly feels like the Rome that Romans actually live in. You’ll wake up to the sound of the basilica bells (fair warning if you’re a light sleeper, but honestly, it’s kind of magical after the first morning). The neighborhood has this perfect mix of tiny wine bars where locals actually drink and just enough tourist-friendly spots that you won’t feel completely lost. There’s this little alimentari right around the corner where the owner will remember your face by day three – that kind of neighborhood.

What really sold me on DANY GUEST HOUSE was how they handle the small stuff. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, no weird key procedures or confusing elevator situations. The rooms are clean without being sterile, comfortable without trying too hard to be boutique-y. You’re not getting a rooftop pool or marble everything, but you are getting a place that feels like someone actually thought about what travelers need. The Wi-Fi works (I mean really works, not that “technically connected but good luck loading anything” situation), and the beds are properly comfortable – not too soft, not like sleeping on a board. Air conditioning that actually cools the room down, which if you’ve been to Rome in summer, you know is not a given.

The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there a few days. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in Rome, but it nails the fundamentals so well that you find yourself recommending it to people. Plus, being right on the piazza means you can literally roll out of bed and be at Santa Maria Maggiore in about thirty seconds, which is pretty incredible when you think about it. And getting to the rest of Rome? Termini station is a ten-minute walk, fifteen if you stop for coffee (which you should – there’s a great spot on Via Cavour that pulls a proper espresso).

I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I was planning to spend serious time exploring the city rather than just lounging around a hotel. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re actually staying in Rome, not just visiting it.

• Marko from Serbia (10/10)

  The location is fantastic, it is very easy to reach every part of the city on foot, and public transport is only 150 meters from the accommodation, many lines are covered. Although in a busy location, the building is very quiet, safe, and nothing is heard in the apartment, it is good for sleeping. Gemma and staff are more than friendly and happy to accommodate early check-in and check-out, as well as luggage storage after check-out.
