B&B Arco Del Lauro

Reserve NOW! This was our best experience in a European B&B. Daniela waited for us to arrive (later than their normal hours) and was just so kind and generous with her time and knowledge of Rome and its ins-and-outs. She had a list of restaurant recommendations ready for us, and walked us through an actual map with more and more suggestions, including a few we did not find in Rick Steves' books (Porta Portese market). She gets a 10+ in our book. The facilities are adorable. Rooms are in two separate buildings, and we were on a second floor. The room was spotless, we had daily cleanup service, and Daniela even helped us with laundry half way through our stay for a small amount. Rooms were quiet, simple decor, and with a common lounge/kitchen with available fridge and other amenities we did not use. You can tell she has invested in renovations and making upgrades to this adorable old building. The breakfast included in our package was simple, but in really nice little spots in Trastevere. We did not want for anything. I do not know if we will go back to Rome, but if we do, we absolutely will stay there. Gratzie!!!

We had the most wonderful time at Arco Del Lauro and will definitely come again. Daniella could not have been a more attentive and caring host. The location was superb, in Trastevere but in the quiet part, away from the crowds and in close proximity to some of the best trattorias in Roma. Highly recommend!

Email communication was great; we had some issues with arriving late at night and not being able to visit the reception in person, but everything was straightforward to work out through email. The location was amazing and quiet! Very central to some amazing restaurants and shops in Trastevere, plus close to the Colosseum and other key locations. The room was perfectly furnished, with everything that is needed for a pleasant stay, as well as good wifi, air conditioning, and a hot shower.

Great affordable and comfortable accommodation close to incredible restaurants & the river. Walking distance to all main sights. Room was comfortable & quiet. The breakfast at cafe was simple but delicious - great cappuccino & amazing croissants.

The best feature of this hotel is the central location in the charming and interesting Trastavere neighborhood. The room I had is the one in the main photo on the first floor facing the street with frosted glass and bars on the window. Due to the room location and the chilly weather, I did not open the window. As a result, the room felt a bit dark and disconnected. The "lobby" area is right outside the room. Given the room location, I could hear both conversation with incoming/outgoing guests during the day and passing mopeds at night. Not a deal-breaker, but FYI for those who want perfect quiet while in their rooms. The room was clean and functional, but nothing special. Again, the main reason to stay here is for the location and price--and then to spend your days exploring Rome.

I stayed here in late September with my husband for 4 nights. We'd love to stay here again. From the moment that we arrived, Daniela made us feel so welcome and looked after. She immediately showed us the map of our neighborhood so that we could be better oriented, gave us the basics on how to get around, and was always available by Whatsapp. We arrived tired, sweaty, and starving, and the meatballs at her recommended cafe, Terra Satis, brought us back to life. My handbag strap broke and she even recommended a GEM of a local leather repair shop. Our room, at the back of the first floor, was clean, comfortable, and refreshed each day so that we had all the essentials (towels are replenished every 3 days). Crucially, the air conditioning was cold, and we felt safe walking in the area late at night, even though it gets particularly quiet (peaceful) in this area of Trastevere. The location couldn't have been better, as we were close to everything, and were treated to beautiful views of the Tiber going into the center and returning "home" each day. Mille grazie, we had a beautiful first trip to Rome and in large part thanks to this B&B!
