Yes, This hotel does not look like the photos. However, I like downton abbey aka old buildings and the green room was perfect! Love the details. This mishap is offset with a great customer service by Robert and the rest of the staff. Yes, The sheets are thin but there was a comforter in the closet. There was a small fridge in case you want some groceries, I truly enjoyed my stay here. the breakfast and view of an old church dome from the terrace was phenomenal. Its location is in the middle from the Vatican to the right and piazza del popolo to the left 15 min walk either way. Also it’s near by Starbucks. It’s safe for single travelers, this hotel is in a semi residential area where banks and embassies surround the hotel.

This property and Expedia are deceitful! NOTHING shown on the booking site matches anything from this hotel. It may have looked like that some years ago but the property no longer has the same furnishings, drapes or even the colors. Everything is run down, pillows are flat, sheets are paper thin, bathrooms are simply tiny is impossible for wven one person to be in there. The walls are paper thin, you can hear people in oadjacent rooms snoring and going to the toilet. The beds are harder than the floor. Overall the worse experience I have ever had in a hotel.

My thoughts: No soap bar (had to use the shower body wash to wash hands. Thin duvet with the consistency of tissue paper. Not like the photos at all to the point that I wonder if those were just pulled off Google. Based on the other reviews, others think the same so I’d be curious anyone stayed in a room that looked like the photos. I understand there are different types of rooms, but the property should post all types of the rooms so you might expect a variety as opposed to expecting an upscale boutique look and then getting what appears to be a dorm room. Even the breakfast set up is not what was pictured. Could hear our neighbours toilet flush very audibly against the wall and heard them dying their hair in the bathroom and moving objects around on the counter. Could also hear laughter and conversations and nose blowing..? We were only staying for one night, but if we had booked more, I would have likely disputed the charge and found somewhere else to stay. It’s not an inexpensive hotel. If we paid $150/night I’d let it slide, but to have this room and pay nearly $300/CAD a night is unacceptable. The wifi in room 4 doesn’t connect, not sure if it’s because it’s at the end of the hall but that was frustrating for travellers from out of the country who depend on wifi. This hotel has a 4 star rating which is suspiciously high for all the reasons I listed. Do some research before you book this hotel.

Simply put this is a terrible hotel. NONE of the rooms look like the pictures at all. Instead of being a 3 star hotel this is more like what you would have found in terms of a oension back in the 80's with outdated conditions. Walls are thin so you hear people uaing the toilet in the next room, or snoring. Sheets are paper thin, mattresses are hard as the floor, the pillows are flat and old. It was an extremely uncomfortable 7night stay for us.

Disappointing hotel, not 3 star
We were very disappointed by this hotel. Our room looked nothing like the pictures advertised and was in very very bad condition. Not a 3 star hotel. I asked to move rooms however the other room they offered still didn’t look like the pictures. The AC didn’t work, which wasn’t a huge problem for us but I wouldn’t risk it in the summer. The walls had marks all over them and the finish in the room was very disappointing. It was not a hugely clean room. The furniture in general was very cheap and uncomfortable- Pillowcases too big, the mattress too small for the bed, double room but only one lamp at the side of the bed. Breakfast was basic and the roof terrace was very pleasant but again didn’t look like the pictures. I suspect some staging furniture had been brought in.

Rome stay near Vatican
We enjoyed our stay at the B place . It is very close to metro station and many nice cafes, restaurants and shops in walking distance. Nice breakfast provided in a rooftop setting. Rooms a bit sparse but clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again if in Rome

The B Place was exactly the hotel we needed for our trip to Rome. We had a big itinerary for our trip and were only going to be there to sleep for the most part. The room itself wasn’t mind blowing, but it was clean and had everything you needed. The vaulted ceilings were a nice touch and made the room seem larger than it was. We showed up two hours early but Terry the concierge was super accommodating. He held onto our luggage as we went to lunch while they prepared our room. We booked this hotel based off location and it was perfect. The Vatican was a 10 minute walk, Pantheon was 15 minutes away as well. It’s the perfect location for active travelers. The breakfast was included in our stay, and it was honestly really damn good. Nothing fancy, but everything you’d need to start the day. The only negatives were that our shower seemed to clog easily, and that when we did need a taxi, the local taxi app FREENOW often struggled to find a taxi near that location. However the taxi issue really isn’t the hotel’s fault.

The room itself looked very different from the pictures on Expedia. Location was ok, easy walk to Vatican and Piazza Navona, close to metro. But the condition of the hotel and the beyond basic room was not at all how it looked online. Staff was friendly.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at B Place -- it's in a great area close to the Vatican, but away from the really busy tourist areas. The fact that it's a minute from the Metro and 5 minutes from a major bus route makes it super easy to reach the historic centre and the Trastevere neighbourhood as well. Breakfast was perfect -- a selection of pastries, yogourt, toast, and American faves like scrambled eggs and bacon, with a lovely view over the rooftops. My room was small, but did the trick -- it did need some paint touch-ups here and there, but the fact that the air conditioning worked and the water stayed hot was all I needed! Definitely recommended.

Paid a little bit more for this room on a budget friendly vacation. The included breakfast did help. And the location is great. Would highly recommend Pratti as a safe and quiet residential area with in walking distance to loads of attractions. Hotel room was ok. Hotel definitely needs to upgrade mattress’ . Was not expecting luxury, but at minimum people need to get a decent sleep when travelling.

I loved the location, it was so quiet compared to the rest of the city yet it was only a 2 minute walk around the corner to the metro and 2 stops until Spanish steps so it was super convenient! We weren’t planning on using the hotel for breakfast but was thinking pleasantly surprised by the options and the outside rooftop area for breakfast! The staff were super friendly, letting us check in early and leave our bags there for the day when checking out! Our bedroom had a balcony and was so nice, the only thing I can say wasn’t great was the fact the TV had no English channels and the bed was a little hard/springy but our everything else made up for it!

Lovely hotel in the middle of Rome!
The B Place Hotel was a lovely, budget-friendly place. The location was 10/10 - so close to everything. The metro is just around the corner, however, we ended up walking everywhere as we were literally "just around the corner" from most visitor attractions. The local area was great for restaurants too, your staff recommended some lovely places and we had SO MUCH good food. We stayed in a lovely room on on the second floor. Breakfast was lovely too, we aren’t big "breakfast eaters", but you had everything from pastries to hot foods, so we managed to find something light to start our day. Lastly, we would like to send a thank you to your lovely staff - they were so helpful and kind!
