Reviews

  • Alexandra from United States (10/10)

    clean, comfortable, good location

  • Raul from Belgium (9/10)

    Paola is a great host. Very helpful. The flat has excellent facilities and a strong WiFi. Very clean, very quiet, good room and bed. Excellent location to explore the Porta Portese market on Sunday morning.

  • Luciana from Argentina (9/10)

    Neat room with private bathroom, in a well-maintained apartment in a complex of traditional Italian-style buildings.
    Paola is lovely and her place is pretty and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and full of locals.
    Near to the Ponte Testaccio, you can cross the Tiber River into the center of Rome.

  • Kyra from Germany (10/10)

    During the 2024 Senior Table Tennis World Championships, I was a guest at the Paola Guest House. The location in Trastevere is excellent. The event took place at the Fiera di Roma, the regional train there left 3 times an hour from Trastevere station. The station is only 300 m from the guest houses. The train also goes directly to and from the airport.
    All shops for daily needs are nearby, from supermarkets, bakeries, laundry… There is a delicious galateria a few meters around the corner. If you like to eat out, there are plenty of options in Trastevere. Rome's longest tram, number 3, goes towards the old town of Trastevere, the Colosseum and even the nearby Termini station. Most hop-on hop-off tours start from there.
    I had excellent contact with Paola via WhatsApp before my arrival,
    I was warmly welcomed. The Azure single room looked like it did in the brochure, everything was super clean, lovingly furnished. The rooms were cleaned daily and the towels were always clean. As an athlete, I have seen a number of hotels and guesthouses, but this one was unbeatable in terms of cleanliness.
    I didn't lack anything, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the shared kitchen was very practical, I could store drinks and food in the fridge, a luxury in the height of summer.
    Paola lovingly filled my bowl with sweets every day.
    My next trip to Rome will take me back to this guesthouse.
    Thank you Paola
