Basic no frills hotel - clean and close to everyth
This hotel is a basic no frills hotel. It is not a “hang out in the hotel” type or hotel. Room is clean but not fancy. It is 30 minute walk to Vatican, Coliseum, Trevi and Pantheon. I would stay there again. The shower was amazing

Very unique and worked out very well for our day in Rome. The 'double' or queen beds were just to small mattresses pushed together. It was not ideal for my wife and I but was satisfactory. Or room had a kitchen, but it there were not many dishes. It was ok for short stay, and we didn't even use any of the dishes or cooking equpment. But if for longer stay with family expecting to cook meals it was probably not enough.

Excellent location, clean and comfortable
This was my second time staying in Bollo Apartments, last time I stayed here was 7 years ago and my memory of the place was so extremly fond, I went out of my way to stay there again this time around. It did not disappoint! The location is fantastic, all the main tourist sites are within walking distance. The nearby piazza hosted a wonderful market full of local foods and other produce and was a great spot for an early evening pre dinner drink, great atmosphere. The apartment itself was quaint and extremely clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to another return visit in the future!

Very nice apartment located perfectly in a central location in Rome, near Campo di'Fiori and Piazza Navona. It is hard to find accomodations to fit five people that are reasonably priced and centrally located in Rome and this was perfect. It was spacious and had a small kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Great location— walking distance to all of the main sites. Place itself was fine with everything that we needed (except coffee!). Staff was very friendly and helpful and quick to arrange things via email. They were not there on site at most times. There was a great cafe down the street for coffee and pastries too.

Great location and quick service. Non of the pics from website is the pics of the room. it is small room. There is no sun light in the room. Windows open in to a dark and dirty shaft. Bathroom very tiny, no toilet paper. Shower had empty wrappers after soap. Coffee express full of used coffee, and coffee grinds all over shelving. Room has a safe but no instruction how to set a code. Tv had couple channels most of which were infomercials.

Nothing good about this place except location and hotel attendant. Very small, dingy, no toilet paper in the bathroom when we arrived, too many doors and locks. However, the location made it noisy at night.

Fantastic Stay in Rome (AAA Service and location)
The stay was fantastic. The front desk guys were always incredibly friendly and helpful. I don't think I could have stayed at a better place in Rome. Location was prime. Location aside, I'd stay again purely on the friendliness and helpfulness that was received from the folks at the front desk.

The pictures posted on the website were very misleading. The amenities were not accurate, no breakfast, air conditioning or temperature control. The was not adequate space for three travelers and the luggage as we had to live out of our suitcase with no dresser to put clothes away in. At night we could not sleep with the windows open as it sounded as if people were directly below us every night, all hours of the night, talking/yelling, and keeping the windows closed did little to help with the noise. The only thing we like about staying here was the location and very friendly staff.

The Bollo Apartments were a fantastic place to stay while in Rome! You are so close to everything. The only issue I had was with the wifi. It was spotty and was not reliable. Nonetheless, I had a great experience at this hotel!

Perfect Location!
The Bollo Apartments is a couple of minutes from Campo di Fiori. It is a few minutes from amazing restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores. It is minutes from bus stops that will bring you to all of the landmarks. The hotel is off of the main street, which means there is minimal noise. The staff is friendly and helpful! The room we had was clean--we even had a balcony! Unlike other apartments, this hotel has a lift. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent Location.
Great location just next to campo di fiori. We were in the pelegrino location. We had the big apartment with two rooms private kitchen and living room, excellent for us (5 people). Family friendly, only con it does not have elevator just to keep in mind. No problem for us and we traveled with two kids. Walk distance almost any where. Clean, good customer service and lots of space. Windows to pelegrino street. Nice views. Housekeeping every other day.

Had a great time in Rome and the property was in a good central location. Property was not well maintained or updated... stained, cracked counters, dirty dishes, dated finishings, etc. Have stayed in many hotel apts... this was least desirable.

Be aware!
We arrived in Rome all excited ready to see the city and we checked in. The man in the front desk walked us a couple of blocks down from the address of the hotel and gave us a room which was a converted garage. The room had no AC (July), no curtains, dirty, unsafe, and many more things that were wrong. After about an hour of arguing with (Augusto) the front desk man and a 40 minute long distance call to Expedia, Augusto gave us the room that Expedia showed us in the web site. The hotel blamed Expedia. I don't know if Expedia is aware of this room that they try to push. PS. The hotel is an great location.

Good Location; Bad Customer Service; Dirty Rooms
The apartment is centrally located and very convenient for touring room. Unfortunately I complained multiple times to the staff about a terrible smell in my room (it smelled as though a rodent died in the walls), and to further complicate matters the fact that the WiFi did not work. The staff does not stay on the premises and got back to me after 12 hours. Then they claimed they solved both problems I informed them that unfortunately the smell in the room and the WiFi were still an issue, the staff simply never responded to me. I would never stay at this location again, and I am very disappointed this hotel was recommended by expedia.

Small room with great location
The receptionist was very welcoming when we arrived. He showed us all the important things on a small map. Lots is in walkable distance. We had a room with the shared kitchen which is very useful for us. The room itself is very small so if you are on a long trip with lots of luggage this place isn't for you. Anyway, we loved it.

Staying at Bollo Apartments was a wonderful experience. It was a small apartment: bedroom, ensuite bath and kitchen/dining area. The area of Rome is close to the river, close to buses and close to many restaurants and small shops. It was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Rome living within blocks of Campo de Fiori.
We felt like Romans in our own little apartment. It was clean, spacious and had a kitchen. We had planned to eat breakfast in, ended up only using the refrigerator since the Campo de Fiori (where we could get anything from fresh fruit to a full breakfast) was just a couple blocks away. Maid service was every other day, which was sufficient. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great location, some issues with sleep quality
Excellent location. Helpful and friendly reception staff. Clean room. Zero sound insulation - can hear every conversation outside in the street as if they are right in the room, impossible to sleep. A/c blows directly onto the bed. Shower cord leaking, very little water actually comes out of the showerhead, most leaks out. Wifi did not work in the room, had to come out and sit in the hallway.
