Al 325 rooms ai Fori - Rome

Great location, clean and good size room for the price. Gentleman who greeted us was very nice and helpful.

Allesandro and Eduardo were easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. The room was sparkling clean. The air conditioning was very good. I highly recommend the blue room if available, the balcony view is worth it! If you're worried about staying in a guest house instead of a hotel, this is a good place to change that feeling. The Coliseum, all of the forums, Trajan's market, Trajan's column, Vittoriano, the Capitoline museum, and others are all a walkable distance even for a couple of overweight Americans (like us). There's also food of moderate to WOW quality, a convenience store, and souvenir shops steps from the front doors. The only negative was that the wifi was a bit slow. Since I wasn't there to work or play online games from tthe eternal city, it wasn't an issue for me. Great valuefor the money!!!!!

If you want new and glitzy this is not for you. If you like old world charm ‘‘tis is for you. An old world guesthouse. 15 ft ceilings, new bathroom and a 2 suitcase one person elevator. Call 72 hours ahead to be met for check in. Buzz at big wood doors, go up to second floor for greeting. Get 4 sets of keys to get in. Fantastic location. Will stay again. Common room with coffee and kitchen. Great internet.

Great location, clean and comfortable room, new bathroom. The manager Allesandro was very prompt, polite and helpful. Highly recommend.

The stay was amazing. The location of the hotel is close to the city center and the staff are very friendly!

Even though we arrived earlier than expected, Alessandro was already there waiting to greet us. The room was exactly as it appeared in the photos and was very clean. The bed, shower, aircon and mini fridge were great. We really were just steps from the Roman Forum...which meant that the restaurants in the immediate vicinity were a bit pricey, but just walk a street or two back and they are far more reasonable. We found it easy to walk into Centro Storico and would recommend going after dark to see the buildings and piazzas lit up. The journey from the airport was simple. We bought FR1 tickets (with the help of friendly officials), travelled to Roma Ostiense station and transferred to the metro. The accommodation is just a minute's walk from Cavour metro station. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rome and would recommend Al 325 Rooms ai Fori to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable base from which to explore.

I chose this place due to the location, price, and appeal of the photos. Overall the stay was fine. My biggest complaint was that I booked a transfer through the owner of these rooms (this is not a hotel). The price was comparable to if you were to book a taxi on your own and I was told that there would be sign with my name on it at the arrivals area. There was no sign. I waited for 10 minutes, even going up to a couple of people and asking if they were waiting to pick someone up. I finally got my own transfer. 20 minutes later, I received a phone call from the owner saying that he was going to have to pay for the transfer that I did not take (implying I should pay twice). When I refused to pay for two transfers, the whole stay became awkward. The bathroom also smelled like smoke and I wasn't told that there was a kitchen with complimentary espresso (found out the last day). This is actually a good property with an owner that seems to care. There were just several things that led to a negative experience for me personally.

Our room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The unlocking of 4 doors is required to enter your room so it was very safe. You have to walk up a few steps to reach the lift. When you book you are given instructions on how to access the rooms, follow them carefully and you will be rewarded. The doorway is among a few restaurants but has the number 325 above it and an intercom to the RH side. Your host is excellent and promptly answered my emails. The Forum and Colosseum are a few minutes stroll away and there are many, many restaurants nearby. We ate our breakfasts at ‘Miscele & Fuoco’ near the front door as they made lovely soy coffees as well as nice omelettes, and went to La Traverna Madonna de Monti for dinner. They had many Gluten free options. We certainly recommend Al 325 rooms ai Fori and will stay there again if we visit Rome again.

Once you check in, you probably won't see hide nor hair of service or management. I suppose it's to be expected because the rooms are apartments and not hotel rooms. The price is certainly attractive, but there are some drawbacks to staying in these clean, well, maintained rooms, such as four keys and fifty four steps to gain entrance. Relative to the area the hotel is located in, it is city central close to all the "old stuff". On the surface that seems ideal, but only if you are enamored of street vendors, restaurant shills, crowded, littered streets, and the most God awful, overpriced restaurant food imaginable. After two days I couldn't even face eating in an area restaurant. My advice would be to get a hotel away from the "tourist inquisition" so you can escape to sanity after your day of sight seeing near the tourist sights.

Such a great place to stay! We were able to check in early and settle in easily. The room is huge and very clean. We had a beautiful balcony with a view of part of the Roman forum. The location of this place can't be beat! It is literally about a block from the Colosseum and the Roman forum, and about a 10-15 minute walk to so many more popular sites and attractions. So many great restaurants downstairs and across the street and around the corner, it was hard to choose! There is a little mini mart down stairs we frequented to get bottled water and snacks. Alessandro set up a black car service to get us back to the airport for 50 euro which was only 2 more than a regular taxi and much more convenient. We stayed in the triple room with a balcony which we LOVED, however if you are sensitive to noise this room might not be for you. It is a street view room and got a little noisy at times, but for us the good outweighed the bad.
