Apartment Simpatia - Rome

5.7

It is not a hotel, it is an apartment with rooms for rent. Difficult to arrive and far from city centre. There is no train station or metro near the place. The lordship is frindly and cheerful.

6.7

Essential style, not for demanding people. The cooker didn't work properly during our staying, the sink is outside the room and for sharing. Close to the subway, located in Rome's China town, you could say. In truth not that bad!

8.5

Een eenvoudig maar prima appartement in een redelijke buurt. Circa 15 gaans van Termini. Het enige wat ontbreekt is verwarming maar die hebben we niet nodig gehad. Vraag dit aan de eigenaar en hij zal je helpen.

9.1

Ottima sistemazione ad un ottimo prezzo. La zona non è delle migliori ma è molto comoda con i trasporti pubblici. Assolutamente consigliato!

9.9

The b & b is very well situated, next to the underground. The owner is nice and make a decrase in the price if you are ready to make your breakfast. We had a flat to share with another couple, and we had the kitchen to make our breakfast.

Dzielnica, w której polozone sa apartamenty Simpatia nie jest moze najpiêkniejsza, ale duzym atutem jest sasiedztwo stacji metra i glównej stacji kolejowej Termini, z której odjezdzaja pociagi bezposrednio na lotnisko Fiumicino.Poza tym, po 15 minutowym spacerze mozna bylo dotrzec do Coloseum.Do Watykanu trzeba bylo isc ok.godziny, albo wsiasc w metro.Nasz apartament (dla 4 osób) skladal sie z dwóch pokoi, lazienki i wyposazonej kuchni, co w zupelnoœci zaspokoilo nasze oczekiwania (a nawet- biorac pod uwagê cenê- je przekroczylo). Paolo- wlaœciciel, byl równiez bardzo mily i pomocny. Ogólnie bylismy bardzo zadowoleni z pobytu i warunków, jakie zastaliœmy. Pozdrawiam i zyczê milego pobytu.

We arrived when stated, but the property manager was not on site. We had to call from a payphone that was located one block away. The property is located in a city-like atmospehere that is approximately 5 blocks from more populated areas of Rome, although it was closer to Termini Station than expected. The surrounding area seemed "sketchy" and we took taxi-cabs home at night to avoid the locals. Despite the lower class people that frequented nearby streets, we felt safe once in the property which contained a locked outer gate and an additional locked door into the building. The apartment itself was somewhat smaller than expected and really did not contain a kitchen, though we did not require one. The bathroom had sufficient hot water, though there is no separate area within the bathroom to contain the water that is used during showering. Water did leak out of the bathroom at times from showering and everything in the bathroom (toilet, sink, floor, toilet paper) was wet after showering. We received vouchers for breakfast at a really good cafe that was located 1 block from the property. Even still, the property was not really worth the amount of money that we spent for our stay ($164 for two nights). We will not be staying at this B&B during our future visits to Rome.

Ci siamo trovate benissimo al Simpatia nonostante una permanenza molto breve. Lo spazio è confortevole e la posizione ottima.

We are statisfied with our stay at Simpatia. Taking in regard that it is a low budget place to stay it was pretty good. Maybe the kitchen could be a little bit more clean and there is hardly any extra spoon etc. We felt very welcome, the manager is a nice man, but: We've got a bottle of Italian wine at the first day, but there was no tool to open it (!)

6.9

Understanding for the rate we paid for this place is quite like what we expected but nothing more. Location wasn't close to anything but the train station (which is not exactly a good thing in Rome) and the room was simple with cheap decoration. There wasn't a common area but just a hallway and it does not provide breakfast. Anyhow, i think Simpatia is clean and serve its purpose, and Paolo was quite nice and helpful.

8.6

low price, ratio price/performance is OK

3.2

The room is at a building of appartments in the underground, there´s no towels. The photo of a garden is not at the local of the room.

7.1

We stayed at the Simpatia for two days. It has a good location and is reasonably priced. I would suggest phoning Paulo (the owner) ahead if you are arriving late in the evening. Overall it was okay - our room had air-conditioning which was nice.

9.6

a very nice stay in Simpatia. the facilities provdied are excellent. resonable price! should advice the owner to accept credit card instead of cash though.

9.6

very sympatic, top price !!

7.3

Simple, but OK according to the price.

8.4

Very good for a short trip!

3.3

The room (on the underground) had a musty smell (like mould) and the owner said it was because of the new painting. Come on! He also made us pay in cash for the whole stay at the check in and wanted to keep one of our passports till the end of the stay. The shower in the small bathroom was not separate from the rest (above the sink), what made every shower a real problem. Everything in the place was old and smelled bad. We're very upset about all this.

3.7

Pictures on web site did not match room. No one at room to meet and greet upon arrival, even with pre-arranged time and local phone call prior to arriving at room. Room was nice size and set up for family. However, room floor was so dirty, my feet were black the next day. Towels were not provided. Payment by credit card was not possible. Location was in poor, dirty, trashy neighborhood with a lot of noise through the night. Dogs barking all night in apartment directly above. We did not stay the second night, even though we paid in full for two nights.

6.7

Would have been nice if the owner was there on time to meet us. He sent an email asking when we were arriving, but he only sent it out a few hours before the flight out there. Needed quicker replies from him in response to the ones i sent out.

6.6

The place on the web is wrong. Acutual B&B is far from indicated on maps.
