They were full when we came. So the guy brought us to another bnb near termini and he had to pay €50 extra per night for us to stay there. The booking complication wasn't even their fault to begin with it was a certain late room website. That's what I call customer service. The room we were in was amazing.... More

We stayed there 5 nights in November. On a positive note I must say that the hotel is value for money. Location is great, very central and even during the night we had no problem at all to reach the main attractions and we had no problems with noise neither cause our room was situated on a small piazzetta- perfect...

Choose surprising based on location and price. Property was well located and room was nice with private bath and shower but was right on a busy street and very noisy. We were lucky and met the owners (managers?) when we arrived. It was the only time we saw them. They seemed to be somewhat surprised that we arrived even though... More

Our stay at Surprising in Room was an interesting introduction to our first Italian vacation. First off, if you are taking a bus to the property (versus getting picked up) be aware that the hotel is located in a nondescript building. The B&B is basically a tenant in a buidling with other businesses. Follow the hotel's request and let them... More

The above quote was coined by my husband during our stay at "surprising". And "surprising" our stay was, and certainly not in a good way. Before I get into my detailed negative review of this "B&B", I will note two positives about "Surprising". Positive #1- The location Positive #2- The room itself is nice. And for me, that is only...

I arrived very late (because of flight delays and huge taxi queues; so didn't get to the property till midnight despite saying I'd be there at 8:30pm), and Marco was still so happy to greet us and show us our room! Thank you! The location is great. If you connect Vatican City, Spanish Steps and the Colloseum, Surprising in Rome... More

The location is awesome. It is very close to all the most important sightseeing spots in Rome. We felt like locals, since it is apartment. Stuff was very nice. We were picked up from airport for 35euro, which was also nice. Thank you.

There isn't much that hasn't already been said about the reviews for this excellent B&B. You should definitely communicate with the friendly and helpful staff via email before your arrival and have their phone number ready so you can contact them before you reach the B&B so they can greet you and let you in. A tip to reduce the... More
