Hotel Description

You know what really caught me off guard about My Tiny Home? The name actually makes sense – it’s genuinely tiny, but in that cozy Roman apartment way where every square meter counts. I mean, we’re talking about a 3-star spot on Via Tunisi in Trionfale, which honestly isn’t the neighborhood most tourists stumble into, and that’s exactly why it works. The Trionfale area sits just northwest of Vatican City – close enough that you can walk to St. Peter’s in about 20 minutes, but far enough that you’re not drowning in tour groups every time you step outside. The street itself is pretty quiet, lined with those classic Roman buildings that look like they’ve been there forever, and there’s this little alimentari around the corner where the owner actually remembers your face after day two.

The room itself is… well, it’s definitely compact, but they’ve done something clever with the layout that makes it feel less cramped than you’d expect. There’s this smart use of vertical space and built-in storage that actually works – I was able to unpack completely without feeling like I was playing Tetris with my suitcase. The bathroom is predictably small but functional, and honestly, the water pressure was better than some four-star places I’ve stayed in central Rome. What really sold me was the little kitchenette area – nothing fancy, but having a proper espresso maker and a tiny fridge meant I could grab fresh cornetti from the bakery down the street and actually enjoy breakfast without paying hotel prices. The Wi-Fi is solid too, which matters if you’re trying to plan day trips or just want to figure out the bus routes (the 46 and 916 lines are your friends from this area, by the way).

Here’s the thing about staying in Trionfale – you’re living like an actual Roman for a few days. The neighborhood has this residential rhythm where things get busy around 8 AM and then quiet down after lunch, and evenings are all about locals walking their dogs and kids playing football in the small piazzas. It’s maybe a 15-minute walk to the Ottaviano metro stop, which puts you on the A line straight into the heart of the city. The 8.1 rating makes sense because it’s not trying to be something it’s not – it’s clean, functional, and genuinely welcoming in that particular Italian way where small gestures matter more than fancy amenities. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward, and they actually gave me decent recommendations for restaurants that weren’t tourist traps. If you’re the type who values authentic neighborhood vibes over being in the absolute center of things, and you don’t mind a smaller space in exchange for better value, this place delivers exactly what it promises.

Reviews

  • Pleasing stay near Vatican. – Kelvin from Albania – 3 June 2025 (8/10)

    The proximity to the Vatican and that there were many restaurants nearby made the room worthwile.

    What could be improved: Although it said that quiet hours were after 10pm, some of the other guests in the rooms next to us werent. Also, the room could use some extra amendeties like maybe a mop to dry the bathroom after a shower and maybe some flip-flops to walk around in.

  • Convenience and value – Venkateshwaran from France – 14 May 2025 (9/10)

    Great central location, clean and safe.

    What could be improved: Nothing particular

  • The accommodation is in a perfect location and perfect for a family with kids – Florian from Ireland – 9 March 2025 (8/10)

    The people are very friendly and very helpful

  • great location – great staff – Kenneth from United Kingdom – 2 October 2024 (9/10)

    great air conditioning, comfy beds & right beside Vatican.

    What could be improved: was a problem with key codes but staff quickly came and sorted out – so five stars for helpful staff.

  • It’s a bit far away from town centre – Belen from Ecuador – 13 August 2024 (9/10)

    In front of Vatican.

    What could be improved: N/A

  • Was a great place to be in for the short stay. – Gianfranco from Canada – 10 July 2024 (9/10)

    Location for us close to Vatican was perfect for our tour.
    Rooms were spacious enough for a family of 5 and was clean. Beds were comfortable
    AC worked perfectly.

    What could be improved: No lighting at the entrance of building at night, which is not safe.
    No balcony option at this building.

  • Very good – Laura from Canada – 10 July 2024 (8/10)

    I loved the mattress they are very comfortable. The location is by the Vatican Museum. The staff was on top of everything.

    What could be improved: Is very noise because it is just in front of the Vatican Museum . 5 am. is already lots of people around moving outside and inside the building. I booked a place for 6 people I got for 2 . I am not sure what happened but I paid lots of money for a very small place . Be careful when you book what you get. I was charged 39 euro for cleaning the apartment was not clean, only was changed the bedding and the towels .

  • Location, location, location – Kevin from United States – 22 June 2024 (8/10)

    The location is superb right next to the steps in front of the Vatican museum entrance. The various units had a lift so stairclimbing was at a minimum.

    What could be improved: This is a bare bones unit with almost no extras other than beds. There were small ottoman like stools to put your suitcase on, but absolutely no place to sit down in the chair in the room. No amenities whatsoever.

  • Great Location! Great host! Good use of space! Would recommend! – Aine from Ireland – 15 June 2024 (8/10)

    The location was ideal to see and do all in the short time that we were there. The host Jackson was very helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. The room was clean and there was fresh towels on arrival. AC was very much welcomed!

    What could be improved: We were there for just 2 nights and given there was 6 of us I think that it was long enough as it is a small space. The shower didn't stay warm for very long, this was pointed out to me by our children who normally enjoy long hot showers!

  • Great place to stay – Darren from United Kingdom – 7 April 2024 (9/10)

    Location was excellent check in was very easy, the room and staff were very helpful.
