The staff were amazing,so kind, helpful and considerate. Our room was clean and quiet. We could walk everywhere. I highly recommend this wonderful guesthouse. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The staff was amazing and cared about their guests. The room was spacious, clean, and had access to a couple of bathrooms. Great location to Termini Train Station.
Rooms are minimalist tasteful modern designed. The extra seating was appreciated. The blackout windows, by virtual of an electronic pull-down cover, are great. Nice balcony for all rooms. While limited, breakfast was great. I had the best scrambled eggs that I ever had. Breakfast was simple, but all that was needed.

I’m a 21yr old and visited Rome for the first time, wanting a cheap and affordable place to stay that was in walking distance to the city center. Gialel is exactly that. I went during peak season and they didn’t rip me off, and it was a 15 minute walk to Trevi. No AC, but if you simply use the room as a “rest stop”, it works wonders. Clean sheets, bathroom, and friendly staff. Not much more needed than that if you’re visiting Rome on a budget.
It’s a pity that the property is not kept to a standard in such a nice area. Lift was not working, nor was the AC. The mattress gave me back pain just after one night. Staff was nice, kind and offered to carry our luggage to 4th floor! The room was clean but the amenities were too backdated! I would not consider this property even for a short stay unless the owner invests in its redo.
The room was located a little off the beaten path, but still close to both metro and bus lines for easy access. We had to leave the window open for cool air, but the neighbors were a little loud. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The hot water cycled through cold to warmish and was hot at one point. Just don't expect a long hot shower. I would stay again. The price and location were good.
I saw another review and it said the property is miss labeled as a B&B. I agree: it’s a B. But that doesn’t take away from the accommodations. There is construction going on across the street and with the windows closed you can’t hear it but for a slight hum. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean and well equipped. The staff was helpful and kind.

There was no AC in the room, the bathroom was not inside the room, it was a shared bathroom. I could never find somebody to ask a question. It did smell good and the room was clean. There is no room service, so you will find the room just as you left it. The bathroom was clean. It was definitely an experience.
There was no one in the office when we arrived. Not knowing how to initiate a call via WhatsApp, a friendly store owner allowed us to use his cellphone. Friendly and helpful staff came quality to check us in. The room is extremely basic, with only had a refrigerator, but no other amenities, not even cups. Staff gave us some verify flimsy plastic cups. After putting 2 together, that was not enough. The elevator was only allowed with luggage. Me at 71 and wife at 68, had to walk up from the ground floor to the 4th floor, 5 initial steps and 19.steps to ea h floor above. Need to inform guuests, in advance, to know how to do calls via WhatsApp. The walking distance to the nearest Hop-on-Hope-Off stop and Metro was a blt long, but doable.

We stayed in the Gialel B&B in mid-September 2025 for 4 nights. The room was clean, and relatively inexpensive for a city-centre location, and there was a small fridge in the room, but that's about where the good points ended.
The walls are paper thin, so you hear everything happening in the next room. Romance is out the window when you can hear the person in the next room using the bathroom in intimate detail. Our room door was close to the reception desk and main door, so every time someone opened the main door or their room door you heard and felt the slam. The front desk is unmanned from roughly 8pm (they say 10pm, but I never saw anyone that late). If you have a problem after that, you're on your own. We had other guests ringing the entrance phone persistently for twenty minutes, which could be heard very loudly when we wanted to sleep.
The room and main door locks use tiny rotating keypad locks. The keys are like those of a calculator watch, so good luck hitting the button accurately every time. There are no swipe cards or physical keys, only codes. I recommend taking a photo of the code slip they give you, and adding it to your favourites, since you'll want to refer to it.
We paid the city tourist tax at the front desk when we first arrived. We paid in cash and I saw one of the ladies behind the desk place the cash in her purse. This is a small operation, so maybe this is normal, but I asked for a receipt. I strongly recommend you get a receipt too, and keep it safe
We booked a double room with a shared bathroom. Staff was there to greet us when we checked in, and were kind and efficient. Room was spacious and had a mini-fridge which was nice. A big overhead fan kept us cool at night, we never got too hot even in the early September heat.
The bed was made for us every day, and room was relatively clean, but there was so much dust in the corners that when I accidently dropped a clothing item on the floor against the wall it got so dirty I couldn't wear it anymore.
Main issue was the bathroom. 2 bathrooms are shared between several rooms. Showers and toilets are not separated, meaning if two people shower at the same time there is no toilet for the rest of the guests to use. One of the bathrooms doesn't have a lock on the door, just a chain. The first night I showered there, someone partially opened the door because there was no actual lock, which was an icky experience. There was also no hand soap in the bathrooms, just empty bottles. I tried to tell staff this but after we checked in, there was never anyone around.
On our last morning, there were LOUD renovations/construction on nearby rooms down the hallway starting just before 8 AM. We were never told this would happen.
No breakfast was offered to us. This is not a B&B. I stay in budget accommodations often, but wouldn't recommend this place if you have other options. For 1 night I think it could be okay if you just need a safe place to sleep. The area felt safe and was convenient.
Room is old and neglected. We had skin bug bites. It must be bedbugs. Bathroom looks like a third world bathroom with molds in the shower tiles. There’s a burping sound when we use the water.
There were no amenities. Listing includes laundry, but was not available. Listing also showed rooms that looked newer and drastically different from the rooms we stayed in, which were old. Plumbing was terrible and kept making loud noises every hour, which continually woke up the baby. There were bugs on the bed upon arrival. Lastly, check in was complicated. There were no instructions and when asked, their response was “…” which was extremely unhelpful.
