Reviews
Andrea from Romania (10/10)
Everything was very comfortable and clean, even if we were a small group of girls we felt safe there. And the lady who takes care of the accommodation was extremely friendly and helpful.
A from United States (10/10)
The rooms were only a short walk from the Vatican Museum, in a peaceful neighborhood. The owner was super friendly. I left my passport there by mistake. He was out of town, but was able to get someone to confirm that it was there and then arranged to get it to me in Florence. Nice sitting room for guests.
Michael from Canada (9/10)
Federici is well situated for those planning to take in the must-see sights, including the Vatican City and its museums, with access across from the Ottaviano subway station on the A line. For sights such as Trastevere, Fabio's place is well served by taxis at reasonable rates (download the Itaxi software!) The room 5 that we rented for our family of three with adult daughter, was small but Fabio's large common area beside it was perfect for lounguing between outings with a glass of wine and it provided a chance to chat with other guests. But what makes this stay one that goes beyond simply being a place to lay your head is the host. We had the misfortune of losing one of our credit cards. Normally that is not a big deal, except in our case, our accommodations in Florence and Venice were at risk of being cancelled if the card was reported lost. Fabio, being a generous soul, jumped onto the phone to help us unilingual Canadians navigate through officialdom. He spent 30 mins of his own busy time to see things straightened out. As well, he tended to our daughter, by serving her with a hot lemon drink, which relieved her jet-lagged tummy. Such a pleasure to be in the hands of such a warm-hearted host so many thousands of miles from home!
Ashne from Australia (10/10)
The property was clean and easy access. Kitchen had snacks and tea and coffee facilities. Rooms were cleaned daily.
Lani from Australia (9/10)
Everything was great. Brilliant location right at the Ottaviano station. Clean, tidy, generous room (with AC), bathroom, TV, shared kitchen (fully equipped) and shared lounge.
The host was brilliant with communicate and gave us a great map with suggestions on where to go and timing.Paul from United Kingdom (10/10)
Great location. Literally right outside the entrance/exit for Ottaviano. Room and entire guesthouse kept immaculate by the really friendly cleaner lady. Will definitely stay there again
Σονια from Greece (8/10)
It is a nice flat just in front of the metro station which makes it convenient to move around the city. It is quiet and clean too.
Maria from Romania (9/10)
Great location, comfortable bed, great staff.
Vladescu from Romania (10/10)
Very clean and quiet place, very friendly host. Big like to Ms Emi, she can give you hints for places where to eat in the area and she makes a great coffee. Location is near the metro station and in Rome you can visit everything if you go by metro. We enjoyed every minute spent here!
Paris from Ireland (10/10)
I really liked how friendly both Fabio and Emy are. Truly great and made us feel welcome straight away. They gave us great recommendations on local places to eat and visit. Would highly recommend staying here as it’s also close to the Vatican and other main attractions
