Extremely welcoming place, the owner Maria was excellent. She was most helpful and accommodating. I would recommend staying here near the archeological district of Rome, walking distance to the Colosseum. I would stay here again.

Meget fint sted

Rigtig fint oplevelse. Meget sød vært Maria, som var nem at få fat på, venlig og imødekommende. Godt udvalgt af morgenmad, juice, mælk, kaffe/the og vand på flaske. Fint værelse. Pænt og rent.

Super séjour

Super séjour! Maria et ses deux petites chiennes sont adorables! La chambre est très propre et confortable. Un peu de bruit parce que ça donne sur la route mais tout à fait acceptable. Petit déjeuner en autonomie très très correct. Bonne situation géographique à un prix tout à fait abordable . À 700 m du Colisée et proche du centre historique. Proche des transports en commun.

Hotel like apartment

The place is so-called hotel is actually an apartment that it’s rooms are being rented. The owner was acting like a landlord and the place had two dogs in it which was the reason of the hall had a bad smell. Other than that place is easy to find and cleaning was decent. Just make sure to check food’s due date in the kitchen.

Maria was a phenomenal host! Made us feel right at home with the welcome. As tourists, some of the most important things are access to snacks and water and Maria ensured that our stay had 24x7 availability of still and sparkling bottled water and anple snack options! Location of the guest house is perfect, with Colosseum in like its backyard (so close on foot!!). Everything else was walking distance! After a full day of roaming in Rome, we closed the day with a night view of the Colosseum on our way back. Several outstanding food joints, including some of the most famous Pizza restaurants in Rome! The suite in itself is nice and clean and feels like home. Its washroom was the smallest (for instance no bidet), but keeping in mind everything else t that was so awesome about this place, including Maria as the host, highly recommend staying at this place! P.S. This is a prime example of what great customer service should look like! Had a wonderful experience in Italy!

We loved staying at Guest House Cavor in Rome. Maria was an amazing host, very welcoming and helpful. The room had everything we needed for our night's stay, it was very clean and we loved the art on the walls! I have to mention the location as it was a great spot for our two days in Rome - it wasn't even 5 min walk to the Colosseum. Thank you to Maria again and we hope to return next year!!

Fantastic location and a very helpful and informative host, who is on the property to answer any questions one may have. She went out of her way to help me plan my visit to Rome. I enjoyed the stay so much that I booked the same place again on my return from Florence. I would recommend Guest House Cavour 278 to anyone!
