Mario is such an amazing host. He gave such good suggestions to activities, food and tips that only locals know.
The place was conveniently located to all the walking areas. Most people thing being next to Colosseum is ideal, but this place is perfect walking distance to shopping, food, and all the other sites you would want to see.
Fantastic location . Restaurants and shops all in close walking distance. Metro is very close .
Mario the manger was super helpful and very knowledgeable. Very happy with our experience at Basilio 55 !!
We had a very pleasant stay at Basilio55. The central location is a big highlight – many of Rome’s main attractions are within walking distance, which made exploring the city easy and enjoyable.
Mario was especially friendly and helpful throughout our stay. He was always available for questions and gave us great tips, which we really appreciated.
The accommodation was clean and well-equipped. Overall, we would definitely recommend Basilio55 to anyone looking for a comfortable and conveniently located place to stay in Rome.

Location is great as it’s a block away from the metro, but the room we stayed in was a crap show. The shower door was broken, the power kept going out and it wasn’t very clean. The staff is not very helpful and they’re hardly at the front desk.
Basilio 55 is a great find in the heart of Rome. From the moment we arrived, everything was just perfect – the staff, and the service.
The location is amazing – a lovely place to relax and enjoy a good rest after going outside after discovering the city of Rome. I had a great experience from beginning to end. highly recommended, and we would definitely return on our next trip to Rome.
Good location, central to walk to all of the big spots. Mario was friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations.
This property is not what it was advertised as. Won’t stay here again. There was no breakfast even though it was advertised as having it. Our shower did not work properly, toilet seat was broken. Bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way.
The hotel was so convenient to get to any major tourist spot in Rome. It was right next to the Metro station, only two stops from the termini or the central train station where you can get to the airport by two 30 (14 euro) or 60 mins (8 euro) trains. It was right across Hilton, so you know how good the location can be.
Mario was amazing and a great guided to Italy. He really made me feel comfortable and happy i chose this property.

Overall we had a good stay here. Nice hosts, good location. Accommodation was clean, nice big bed but was a littke tired in areas and not the best shower. It had a fridge but no kettle for making hot drinks which was a shame. We enjoyed our stay and had a fantastic visit to Rome.

Great staff and a good location. Need to be fit as there is only a very small lift so we tended to use the spiral staircase.Decor needs upgrading and the lighting in one of our rooms was poor but a good price for the location we were in.
Excellent location, staff was extremely friendly, thanks Mario for all your help. The hotel is within a walking distance of most touristic areas. Clean, renovated rooms. 10/10
Had a wonderful three night stay. Our host, Mario, was extremely helpful in navigating us on the hat to see, how to get there and where to eat. Cafe next door was terrific and we were walking distance to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. There is a Metro Station right down the block that connects to the Vatican and Termini Station. Very convenient!!
The room was perfect. The bed was really nice. Service from Mario was great. He gave us some great tips on how to get by in the city. He recommended us some really nice restaurants and hot spots to visit. Mario is really friendly and he cared about us, he wanted us to have a great time, and we did! Thank you!
The room we were in was great, a big room with a Queen bed and 2 singles as there were 3 of us, was roomy. Airconditioning was awesome as it was mid summer and very hot outside. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to Trevi Fountain and lots of shops, restaurants & transport very convenient. Lovely stay. Thank you :)
We stayed at Basilio 55 for 5 nights, and it turned out to be just right for us. The hotel is tucked away on a quiet side street just up from Piazza Barberini, making it a peaceful yet convenient base for exploring Rome.
The quirky little lift to the upper floors was quite a novelty — cosy, but it added to the charm! Our room was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom, while a little “tired” in places, was spotless and the shower always provided plenty of hot water.
A big thank you to Mario, the hotel manager, who was extremely helpful throughout our stay. He assisted us in booking tickets for the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Green Line hop-on hop-off bus — things I really should have arranged before our trip.
The location was excellent, with a Metro station right at the bottom of the street. At just €1.30 per trip using contactless payment, it was incredibly easy and convenient to get around the city.
Overall, we had a lovely stay. As part of an Expedia package with flights, it was also very reasonably priced. Thanks again for all your help and advice, Mario!
Room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. There was some mold on the shower tile and the shower drain was slow but otherwise very nice and met our needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was fantastic with easy access to shops, restaurants and metro. Would recommend.
Location was amazing. The area is very lovely with good restaurants around, and not a far walk from everywhere you need to go.
The service was hit or miss.
The person working our last day was excellent, booking a car and giving great advice.
Other staff were not as great. One staff member told us there was no laundry service — despite it saying so on the website. Another staff member said that they could not reserve us a car in off hours, which was before 7:30 am or after 9:30 pm.

Lovely staff
Convenient located in the heart of Rome, walking distance for lot of the attractions.
Good costumer service , i booked one of the room with private bathroom but outside the room ( i did not realized that ) which i did not like it but it was my fault.
I suggest a mirror , at least a bottle of water and couple of glasses in the room , maybe a coffee maker ?
Booked last minute for the last night of our trip before flying out of Rome. What a great choice to stay here. The owner Mario is worth the visit alone. He was so welcoming, funny, gave us some great recommendations. He treated us like we were family. He was also very helpful in sorting out some last minute private shuttles due to flight changes. Hotel is in a great location and has everything we needed. It was clean as well. No issues at all. We’ll definitely be back and recommend staying here. Grazie Mille Mario from your Portuguese friends in Canada! Ciao
The concierge service is great and very helpful. Location is great. However the room itself is quite disappointing. Tiny room that fit one double bed and two twins, leaving no privacy and room for walking. The washroom is not very clean. You can see mold everywhere. Sink stinks quite a lot.
Overall bad living experience.
