![]() | Great location, very helpful staff/host. |
![]() | Awesome first experience with Cross-Pollinate, will be passing this information on to fellow travelers for sure. |
![]() | Great location close to the train station if you need to catch an early train in the morning like we did. Easy check-in and check-out, and our host was very helpful. The room was basic but had everything we needed. |
![]() | Ok, I don't want to get too nitpicky, but it was a real bummer to only have decaf instant coffee provided in the room. Since we had to leave too early for breakfast in the cafe, caffeinated coffee would have been nice. The only other complaint we had was about the air conditioner. It was great to come back to an air conditioned room after a hot day in Rome, but the air conditioner made horrible noises all night long, roaring and groaning and turning on and off every few minutes. We tried changing settings but couldn't get it to quiet down, and it was too hot to leave it off. |
![]() | Cross-Pollinate was awesome! We had all the information we needed to make our travels go smoothly. |

![]() | Great location, very nice room. |
![]() | The address of the place you're staying needs to be clearly written on all emails. Since we were on the go, I Google'd the address for 'Rome Best B&B' and we almost got on a train out to the Vatican area. I had to go back through multiple emails trying to find the actual address. Communication with the owner/person who meets you with keys. |
![]() | This was literally the cleanest acommodation I've ever had. The bathroom was spotless! The beds were very comfortable and Andy, one of the hosts, was extremely helpful and went out of his way to help us with our lost baggage issue. |

![]() | Really happy to have had cross pollinate at our disposal. We had also stayed at the Beehive, which was all of the above but with more charm. It was helpful to have a broker to help us out. Would use them again, no question. |
![]() | The best place to stay in rome. I wholly recommend it to everyone who travels there! |
![]() | The room was small but super clean and well decorated. Location was excellent and the proprietor, Andy could not have been more helpful in explaining the hotel and the city. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent. |
![]() | Not much |
![]() | It was easy and we received a great rexmendation |
![]() | Great place to stay - clean and comfortable, and close to the train station! It was also great to have an ensuite bathroom. It was also nice that we got breakfast vouchers for all the mornings we were there to use at a couple nice cafes around the corner. Ermanno and Andy were very accommodating, and were great hosts. I would recommend this B&B! |
![]() | Everything! Great location, really nice and economical room! What made the stay was the staff. Took the time to meet us and helped coordinate our stay in Rome. Gave us directions, set up some tours for us, and just ensured our stay in Rome was enjoyable. |
![]() | Nothing. |

![]() | a nice place |
![]() | The Rome Best is best in Rome that is true. |
![]() | Brand new, well-designed, nicely and brightly decorated, very clean, very helpful and responsive owner and his associate. It was greatly appreciated that coffee was available in the room and breakfast, that was included, was served at a nearby bakery and was delicious. We are returning to stay again in a week. |
![]() | Nothing |
![]() | Owner was extremely friendly and easy to get a hold of. He took the time to show us everything in detail. |
![]() | Great as always |
![]() | The room is newly renovated and is very clean. It is a little on the small side, but definitely adequate for us. It also has a new a/c unit, which adds comfort during our stay. My wife and I both agree that this is the best lodging we had during our 10 day stay in Italy. I give it an overall rating of 5 star. Here is a breakdown: 3.5 star as the base. With the a/c, it goes up to 4 star. The extremely friendliness and helpfulness of the host and the manager makes it to a full 5 star. The owner has a wealth of information about the sites in Rome. He is very willing to share his knowledge. When I told him that I was planning to go to Villa d'Este, he gave me a history of the villa and the cardinal who built it. I enjoy history and really appreciate this. The main reason I give this B&B five star is because of the manager, Andy. He is extremely helpful and goes out of his way to help us. On our first day there, I told him that I wanted to buy a Roma Pass and batteries. He volunteered to take me to a store and talked to the clerk of what we need. During our stay there, whenever we asked for something, it showed up in our room when we came back. On the last day, I asked him to call a cab to take us to the airport at 6 am. He showed up at the small lobby outside our room at 5:30 am and just waited there till we were ready at 6 am. Then he called the cab and helped my wife to take her luggage and handed it to the cab driver. Andy is setting a new standard for service. Many thanks, Andy. |
![]() | The elevator seems to be temperamental. During our five days there, we used it on the average of six times a day. It worked most of the time; but there were two times that it refused to move. It's not a big deal to us. |
![]() | Thanks to Steve at Cross-Pollinate who recommended this gem to us. |
![]() | Central location, Within easy each of the station with suitcases. Ermanno and his assistant Andy were very efficient and welcoming and had plenty of useful information ready for us. Clean and comfortable room. The addition of a mini fridge also very welcoming as it was unusually warm for the days we were there. The breakfast facilities at the bar round the corner really worked well. Would have no hesitation of recommending this B&B. I would chose the first floor apartment where we stayed. |
![]() | This is the first time I have used Cross-Pollinate for my first trip to Rome. Very impressed with the service and will use them again in the future. |
![]() | Very nice sized room. Modern appearance in a beautiful "old" building. Nice linens, Helpful host and assistant. Good location by Termini station. |
![]() | Nothing . It was awesome. |
![]() | I appreciated the quick follow up and additional recommendations |
![]() | Ermanno was very helpful. The room was immaculately clean. Close to train station and Metro. Lots of restaurants in the area. Good WiFi too |
![]() | Softer pillows |
![]() | They are very helpful. I loved it. |
![]() | The room was bright and obviously newly renovated. The location couldn't be better - 2 blocks from Termini and across the street from a great restaurant: Meid in Nepols! |
![]() | Nothing. |
![]() | I always use Cross-Pollinate when I need a B&B in Rome (which is frequently). I have never been disappointed. |
