Description
“Arches B&B, is located in Via Bettolo N. 6, less than 10 min walking from the appealing Vatican Museums and the St. Peter basilica.

The B&B is served by all the public transport: Bus stops are just at the corner; 2 metro stations, Cipro-Musei-Vaticani and Ottaviano, are just a 5 minute walk. All the most important city attractions are at walking distance or extremely easy to get to. ”
Essentially designed and furnished, softly decorated, large comfortable bedrooms, measure about 24 square meters, (29 square yards !!) possibly among the largest in Rome.

These outstanding rooms have hardwood floors and also feature a bright beautiful veranda enriched with plants and flowers, table and chairs where you can relax, and eventually enjoy your breakfast.

“The house is the ideal accommodation for those willing to study, to work, visit Rome and feel at home even away from their country”
Here past and present blend together. This suggestive area, developed between the Vatican city, San Peter and St. Angelo Castle offers all the typical amenities that distinguish Rome and her inhabitants, handcrafts shops still survive nested in the little streets beside the main.

Furthermore the facilities of a modern city (Banks, internet points, subway, buses, post offices, news agents, car rentals, music megastores, shopping centres supermarkets, etc.)
One of the largest typical groceries open air market in Rome is just across the road, the hostaria dell’ Angelo (the most traditional local cousine) right outside the front door. The real Italian bars and cafes where residents take their breaks every day (take a glimpse at them from your veranda).

Getting out, walk passed the typical little fountain, head towards the main street that leads to the Vatican museums by turning left, you see already people in the distance, lining up along the Vatican walls, waiting to enter the appealing museums, (“this happens throughout the year…, if you come from Archesbb at least you won’t have to wake up too early !!!*”)

Hey from Fabio

Traveling has always been my passion: in addition to the "taste" of the discovery that every new place gives you, I love meeting people from all over the world, new cultures and new faces.

And what better way to host tourists? From this passion for cultures and love for my beautiful city arises the idea of ??Arches!
And thinking that people so far away decide to trust us and stay with us is a great satisfaction!
We are waiting for you in the heart of Rome!

WELCOME IN THE HEART OF ROME !
Sited in an early 20th century building, less than 10 min walking from the Vatican Museums and from St Peter's Basilica, Arches B&B is easy to get to either by bus (bus stop round the corner in Via della Giuliana) and metro (Metro A, Ottaviano station 5 min walking, Cipro-Musei Vaticani 10 min walking).
The main city tourist attractions are a stone's throw away from the bed and breakfast. This is why it is the ideal accommodation for those who want to hang about in the Eternal City, either for studying, business, holiday, etc.).

Excellent central location. Available and responsive managers. Fair value for money. The organization of breakfast for each room could be improved. Some renovation work needed (painting, furniture renewal) and improvement and care needed in the bathroom (shower head to be replaced, stagnant odor).

Property: 9 | Cleaning: 10 | Host: 8 | Location: 10 | Price/Quality: 9 | Breakfast: 6
The room is very large and clean but there is a lack of extra outlets to connect our electronic devices. The bathroom is clean and a good size. It has a hairdryer, clean towels and enough space to organize our stuff. The location is perfect. The metro station is less than a 5-minute walk away. There are a variety of good restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, laundries, etc. It is a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The breakfast could be better. There is a coffee maker but no coffee grounds. The several chocolate powder jars are empty. They also have juice, yogurt, bread with Nutella and honey, nothing else. My suggestion is that we have more guidance on how the kitchen works since we are the ones who prepare our own breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality.

linda
Property: 5 | Cleaning: 5 | Host: 8 | Location: 10 | Price/Quality: 6 | Breakfast: 9
We spent our first night in a comfortable and modern room on the 4th floor and Paolo gave us a very warm welcome. Also Paolo went out of his way to accommodate my dietary restrictions (Celiac). Unfortunately we had to change rooms, (which we expected), but the room on the 2nd floor was a downgrade. It was much smaller, less modern, with fewer windows and it had a terrible smell. On a hot summer night we could not sleep because the air conditioner did not work properly.
stayed from 07/19/2022 to 07/23/2022
The answer from the host:
Hello Linda, I'm sorry you didn't like the second room. By the way, that room IS NOT MUCH SMALLER, it just seems like that, because has 1 window, instead of 2. The second floor apartment is not "less modern", it simply has a different style, I'd say more rustic. Regards, Fabio.

Nice location, great position. We were treated very well from arrival to departure, super helpful manager for every request. 5 minutes walk from the Vatican, perfect for visiting Rome in complete tranquility. The quality of sleep should be emphasized, very quiet and peaceful area.

We had a nice holiday, Paolo was very kind and helpful, ideal place for large families and groups, very spacious rooms with private bathroom and small terrace, possibility to use the kitchen, strategic location to visit the city, close to the metro. Weak points: structure not brand new and breakfast could be improved. Good value for money, recommended.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Mariacristina, mi spiace che la struttura non ti sia proprio piaciuta (valutata 4 su 10), ma ancor di più mi sorprende la valutazione data alla pulizia (1 su 10), cosa alla quale teniamo molto e per la quale ci impegniamo sempre tanto. Tra l'altro non ci è stato possibile effettuare le pulizie in camera durante il vostro soggiorno perché c'era sempre qualcuno e ci diceva di lasciar perdere. Mi sarebbe piaciuto che ci avessi comunicato qualunque tua perplessità sul trattamento (cosa che puntualmente ripetiamo fino alla noia al check in) durante il soggiorno (di ben 9 giorni!) per poter eventualmente rimediare. Saluti, Fabio.

carmela
Property: 5 | Cleaning: 2 | Host: 8 | Location: 8 | Price/Quality: 5 | Breakfast: 3
Unfortunately, the treatment was for two people even though we were three. Tableware for breakfast for two, towels for two, room cleaning not done, non-functioning air conditioner (unfortunately the room was hot). I would recommend a refresh for the rooms and a bit more maintenance and cleaning especially in the common area. Another question, was the breakfast dishes washing the customer's responsibility? Positive location. Close to the metro and the Vatican.
stayed from 09/06/2019 to 09/08/2019
The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Carmela, mi spiace non abbiate apprezzate il soggiorno. Per quanto riguarda il trattamento per 2 persone, ma non vi è proprio venuto in mente che potesse essere un errore? Non sarebbe state meglio per entrambi se ce lo aveste detto piuttosto che rimuginarci sopra per poi sparare a zero nel commento? Eppure al check in ci sgoliamo per sollecitare la comunicazione con gli ospiti, proprio al fine di evitare queste spiacevoli situazioni. Veramente mi chiedo quale sarebbe il senso di affittare una tripla per riservare un trattamento da doppia..no mi pare abbia un gran senso. Per il vostro grande dubbio sulle stoviglie, mi spiace comunicarvi che SI, funziona così in tutte le strutture con aree condivise: è buona norma pulire ciò che si sporca, è semplicemente una forma di rispetto verso gli altri ospiti, visto che noi non possiamo essere in sempre struttura a pulire il cucchiaino utilizzato per girare magari il caffè della sera (visto che la cucina è a disposizione degli ospiti nell'intero arco della giornata). Da li la lamentela per la pulizia legata alla zona comune: se tutti facessero come voi, dovremmo vivere in cucina per tenerla sempre perfettamente pulita. Per il resto, la pulizia della camere (come della zona comune) viene effettuata giornalmente ed il condizionatore funziona perfettamente (e non faceva nemmeno questo gran caldo nei giorni del soggiorno). Anche in questo caso sarebbe bastato comunicare il disagio e vi avremmo mostrato il corretto settaggio del condizionatore: davvero un occasione mancata per apprezzare al meglio il vostro soggiorno e me ne rammarico. Saluti, Fabio.

L'unica cosa che non mi è piaciuta è la qualità dei letti (troppo morbidi) e dei cuscini (praticamente un foglio come spessore). Eccellente la capacità di dare indicazioni del gestore Paolo e la gentilezza. Rivedibile secondo me la gestione della colazione con molte merendine preconfezionate.
