We would definitely stay here again when next in Rome! Jose and Elio welcomed us as if we were old friends and the excellent service and attention continued throughout our stay. Our room and location were perfect. The breakfast was magnificent and we regretted having to miss breakfast a few times because of very early starts. Casa di Amy is a true find!

La casa di Amy was a very nice BandB. It is about a 5 minute walk from the train station which is important if you're hauling luggage as we were. My wife and I stayed there 3 nights and have no complaints other than there is some traffic noise at night, nothing untolerable though. Maria, whom we dealt with most of the time, was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, had a nice variety. Most of the common tourist attractions are probably in the 20 to 30 minute walking range from the hotel. There are many things of interest to see and stumble upon accidently while walking Rome though that walking is what we preferred to do. La casa di Amy was a very nice place overall and we would stay there again.

When I got that right, "La Casa di Amy" has rooms in 4 different buildings. The room I got was one of 4 rooms (+ breakfastroom) the hotel has in flat of a dignified old appartment building. It was an absolutely quiet, secure and cosy place, a perfect background for a very pleasant and inspiring 4-days visit to Rome. Although I had not so much contact to the staff, I found the people very friendly and helpful and I have no doubt, the staff would have given me any support if I needed it. Invaluable, Thanks!

Everything was excellent and people very welcoming and kind. The only problem is to find the place. One does not think about looking at a jewellery store to find a B&B... But this only minor inconvenience.

Excellent accommocations... many complaints about "hard to find" would be explained in that there IS NO OFFICE! Lilla operates out of the Watch store at the address given. The couple who operates this series of rooms operates out of that office, and the only indication of affiliation with "La Casa di Amy" is a single 8.5 by 11 piece of paper taped to the front door! But if they know when you are coming, you'll be ok! This is an excellent deal, but they have about 20 rooms at several locations, all within 2-5 blocks of the Roma Termini rail station. We stayed twice, in two different complexes, and both were excellent, both had excellent breakfast choices, both times all were MOST accomodating. I would recommend it to anybody!

We enjoyed our stay at La Casa di Amy in December 2007 very much - the room, bed, breakfast meals, cleanliness, and service exceeded our expectations. I recommend it in the absolute highest terms. Finding it was easy - it's only a couple of short blocks from the Termini main train station, very convenient, no problem rolling luggage along the sidewalks - which made touring Rome much easier. The Metro subway lines intersect at Termini, so we could reach anyplace in Rome within minutes. We never took a taxi directly back to the B&B, even late at night, but felt very safe and walked from Termini station - there was always foot traffic on the street, and the police were out in force. The room had a small refrigerator, and we often stopped at the small grocery store in the Termini station for food so we could have some meals in our room. The fruit, olives, etc. were so fresh - fantastic and better than 99% of most restaurants. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was absolutely, perfectly clean (small but adequate) with a small but very nice shower - this was of paramount importance to my fiance, she's very picky, and she was not disappointed. She was so happy when she saw the nice bathroom that it set the tone for the rest of our stay in Rome! (She'll go anywhere if she can get a hot shower and good bed at night). We let the B&B know when we were arriving and were met on the street by someone from the B&B (it is run out of the small jewelry shop next to the entrance door). The breakfast meals were great - the selection of meat and other food items varied daily, and the coffee and oatmeal were great. One morning, we overslept and the cook tapped on our door so we wouldn't miss out - molte grazie! Occasionally, I was able to connect into an unsecured Wi-Fi, but otherwise, many internet cafes are located within one block. We felt well cared for, safe, warm, and happy. This would be our first choice on a return visit to Rome. This B&B gets FIVE stars (o

Very good experience. The place was refurnished summer 2007 so everything was in a perfect state and very, very clean. Don't expect a luxury hotel, but the rooms and bed were of good quality and size, and that's the most important. It's a 5 minutes walk from the Termini station and half an hour from the Colloseum.

We found La Casa di Amy to be a clean, quiet and comfortable B&B. The bed was probably the best of the five we experienced in Italy and there were also two comfortable chairs in the room. The breakfasts were very good and slightly different each day. The staff were very accommodating: for example, although we had to leave at 5:30 AM on our last day, we awoke to find a breakfast laid out for us. Although the Termini neighbourhood may not be Rome's most fashionable, it is very convenient not only for train connections but also bus, metro, tours, etc. and a number of sites are within walking distance. La Casa di Amy met our needs very well.

The hotel was in a handy location near the station. The room was brand new in an appartment with several other rooms. It was quiet and we had private access. The breakfast was very good. I would recommend this to any-one looking for mid range accommodation near the train station.

Sehr angenehmes B&B. Wir waren nicht unter der angegebenen Adresse untergebracht, sondern ein paar Häuser weiter - innen viel besser als das Haus von außen wirkt. Zimmer groß, sauber, neu renoviert, nett (wenn auch etwas spärlich) möbliert. Im Haus sehr ruhig, nur auf der Straßenseite morgens um sieben etwas Lärm durch die Müllabfuhr. Frühstück für italienische Verhältnisse ziemlich umfangreich. Frühstücksraum leider ohne Fenster. Die "Frühstücksdame" ist nett, spricht aber kaum Englisch. Kühlschrank und Kaffee-/Teebereiter auf dem Zimmer. Kreditkartenzahlung geht übrigens nur dann, wenn das Uhrengeschäft (gleiche Adresse wie B&B Casa di Amy), das quasi die Rezeption und Kofferaufbewahrung darstellt, geöffnet ist!

Very convenient location although a bit hard to find without a sign outside. It was only 2 short blocks from train station. Our room was very new and very clean with a very small shower. A downside for us was that we had a room facing the street which was extremely noisy at night. On top of that we were awoken daily by staff either letting us know breakfast was ready/ housekeeping/ and even the owner one day to let us know that they did not accept Amex. That being said our sleep was not so great. I would reccomend requesting a room facing the courtyard. Breakfast consisted of cereals, toast/rolls, cheese, and sometype of deli meat and coffee. All in all this is a fine b&b if you need a clean place to try to sleep. The owners are very nice. Very good value for the money in Rome.

My wife was very concerned about the safety of location of the B&B near the Termini but chose it for convenience of public transportation. She was pleasantly surprised! The location was extremely convenient within easy walking distance of the Termini and connections with the Metro and busses. The neighborhood had several restaurants and seemed safe. Lila, the proprietor, and Maria, met us upon our arrival and escorted us to our accomodations(located in a different building a half block away from the address on the web site). Our rooms were spacious, clean and air conditioned! The only negative aspect was noise when the trash dumpsters across the street from our rooms were emptied every morning at 0600. There was no staff on duty at our location so we were given keys to the building, the apartment as well as our rooms. Also, Lila's phone number, but there was no phone available in the apartment. Maria arrived every morning to prepare a beautiful breakfast and did an excellent job of cleaning our rooms. All staff members were extremely pleasant and helpful. I have recommended this B&B to my friends and would definitely stay there again.

Cute little B&B, location was great, it was extremely close to the metro. Since I had a really early flight it was perfect for me. My room was very good size and nicely decorated. I didn't expect a B&B to have its only monographic toiletries so it was a pleasant surprise. You can tell that they put in effort to make the place professional. The staffs were friendly and welcoming. They even offered me breakfast at 6:30am due to my early flight (although the staff seemed to have forgotten about it the next morning), but it was nice of them to have even offered at the first place. If I ever return to Rome I would rent from them again.

We booked Casa di Amy because it was near the Termini and close to all the sights. We were not disappointed. Okay the area is not the best in Rome but for us it was ideal. A short walk to the bus station where numerous buses took us in any direction we wanted. After being dropped off from the airport in Via Marsala by Terravision we were only a very short walk to the B&B. Breakfast was amazing with cooked meats, cheeses, salad, fruit, cereals, toast, yoghurt, rolls and copious amounts of various teas and coffee. Our room and shower room was spotless and the bed was Oh so comfortable. Lilla and Claudia were extremely helpful and courteous. We loved Rome and the B&B. Would definitely stay there again. And oh what bliss, no TV!!

As a group of 5 young adults, this was a perfect balance between luxury and adventure. Essentially a large multiple room house, each couple booked their own room, while the 5th had her own. The doors are somewhat thin, so in the unlikely event the other renters are on the boisterous side, it might be an issue. However, during our stay, there were three waves of different guests (all from different countries, I should add), all of which were very considerate and seemingly knowledgeable with B & B etiquette. You should have no noise problems from other guests. If you get a room overlooking the courtyard, you will hear people's conversations from neighboring bldgs. The layout essentially creates a huge speakerbox, so even the most muted of whispers can be heard. Try to book a room overlooking the street. Better view. A few posts indicated some disappointment over the breakfast. One should note that their set up is generous by European standards, whose idea of breakfast is generally (1) croissant and (1) cup of coffee OR tea (but not both). A nice spread consisting of salami, proscuitto, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzerella, fresh fruit, cereal, coffee, etc was defintely a great way to start off the day. The pix on their site accurately depicts their offerings. The staff was very accomodating, friendly, and helpful. Some past posts have commented on their lack of English skills, but we had zero issues. As long as you keep the sentences short, to the point, and nix the million-dollar words, you should be fine. Plus, I studied up on my Italian, so that helped, too. If for nothing else, the natives appreciate the effort. In summary, if you are looking for a local-flavored, no-frills, conveniently-located place to stay, this is it.

We found it quiet (except for the dog barking) and very comfortable. The young lady running it was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The location near the train station is not the best but there are many good restaurants nearby. It is conveniently located very close to the station.

The location could put the timid traveller off, but it proved to be very convenient for exploring Rome, with a variety of good resturants nearby. Claudia was always helpful and although our room was small, she offered us a larger room for the rest of our stay which we declined. For British travellers there was a kettle,fridge and tea bags in the rooms. The breakfast was substantial including toast and tea, fresh fruit, cereals and the usual continental foods. Overall a good stay for our 3 days.

My fiancee and I generally enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and fairly spacious, with a very nice bathroom. Breakfast was unremarkable, but certainly not bad. The only problem was the fact that we were told that we could pay by credit card whenever we wanted to, but when we needed to leave at 8 am to catch a train to the airport, we learned that the credit card machine isn't available until 9:30. This necessitated a mad rush around the neighborhood in search of an ATM, as the one I was directed to was out of service. With this one caution in mind (as well as the warning that the woman we dealt with, although very friendly, spoke no English), we would recommend this as a good place to stay near Termini.

The room is nicely furnished, with air-conditioner which is important for the hot weather here. There's a balcony facing the street, though the street's quite quiet at night. It's just two blocks away from the train station / metro station so it's very convenient to travel between most attractions. The breakfast is also very good with cereals, breads, yogurt and drinks. Only improvement I'd recommend is to make available an electric water boiler in the room.

Das Einchecken war etwas schwierig, da zunächst kein Ansprechpartner erreichbar war. Zudem sprach die dann erreichte Angestellte nur relativ schlecht englisch. Die Umgebung des Hotels am Bahnhof ist nicht besonders ansprechend, dafür aber verkehrsgünstig. Das Haus, in dem sich das B&B befindet, könnte ebenfalls eine Renovierung vertragen; das B&B selbst und die einzelnen Zimmer sind allerdings sehr gepflegt und sauber und auch ansprechend eingerichtet. Unser Bad war extrem klein. Sehr angenehm war die gut funktionierende Klimaanlage. Frühstück war wirklich gut, für italienische Verhältnisse sehr gut, wenn auch für uns eher etwas zu spät (offiziell erst ab 08:30 Uhr). Zusätzlicher Service und Informationen eher spärlich, aber da spielten sicher auch die Sprachprobleme eine Rolle. Eine gute Adresse für Reisende, die nicht zu viel Geld ausgeben wollen und trotzdem relativ zentrumsnah wohnen. Man solle allerdings nicht sehr viel Wert aut eine schöne Umgebung legen.

Excellent breakfast, the salami and proscuitto to die for. Coffee was so good! We felt like family. Many fine trattorias in the area and convenience to Termini station great. Noisy area but not with windows closed.

Un agréable séjour à la Casa Di Amy. Très pratique pour y arriver car c'est tout près de la gare Termini. Le quartier avoisinant n'est pas exceptionnel mais sans problème. Les chambres sont spacieuses et celles donnant sur la cour intérieure sont très calmes (la rouge par exemple). Evitez peut-être la chambre bleue qui se trouve juste à côté de la cuisine où l'on prend le petit déjeuner. C'est pas terrible pour faire la grâce matinée... Chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain, petite mais très propre et bien agencée(WC, douche, lavabo, séche cheveux,...). L'accueil est sympathique et il n'y a pas de problème pour rentrer tard le soir. On ne peut que vous le recommander.

Don't let the exterior fool you, La Casa Di Amy is not signposted and is a small door with an intercom - inside the B+B however is lovely and serene. Very clean with friendly staff. Breakfast is vast with lots to chose from. The location of the B+B is perfect as it's very close to the main station with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Highly recommended for a stay of 2-3 nights but maybe not longer.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed ourselves. My kids first lamented the lack of a TV but we had family time, and everyone was pretty worn out anyway after wandering around Rome all day. The staff were terrific - very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and kept us going during the day. Once we figured out the route from the train station, the rest was easy. The Coliseum was within easy walking distance, and everything else was a quick bus or metro ride away. We would definitely stay there again on a trip to Rome.
