B-COOL is a bed and breakfast in the Prati district of Rome, about 100 metres from Ottaviano Metro Station and a few hundred metres from the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Square.
The property offers four room types, all air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV with streaming services and refrigerator. The options range from a single room designed for solo travellers to the larger triple room, passing through two double room options of different sizes: a convenient choice for singles as well as couples or small groups visiting the city.
The location in the heart of Prati, a residential and well-connected area, allows you to reach restaurants such as Il Ciociaro and Luma Bistrò on foot, as well as Castel Sant’Angelo and the main metro connections. Since it is not a B&B with dining services or wifi listed among its stated amenities, it is an essential and practical solution for those looking primarily for a central base in Rome.
The rooms at B-COOL are designed to suit different needs, from the solo traveller to a family of three, while sharing air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Room sizes vary considerably, from a minimum of 10 sqm for the most compact room up to 20 sqm for the more spacious option designed for three guests.
The range includes a single room dedicated to solo travellers, two double rooms of different sizes — a larger one with a large double bed, and a more compact economy option with a French bed — and a triple room that combines a single bed and a double bed in the same space. Some rooms also feature a desk and refrigerator, useful for longer or business stays.
This is the most compact room in the property, with 10 sqm designed for those travelling alone. It features a single bed, private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with streaming services: an essential solution for short stays in the city.
Larger than the economy version, this 14 sqm double room is equipped with a large double bed, private bathroom with shower and air conditioning. The extra space compared to other rooms makes it suitable for couples who want a bit more room during their stay.
At 20 sqm, this is the most spacious room in the entire property, the only one designed to accommodate up to three people. It combines a single bed and a large double bed in the same space, while keeping a private bathroom with bathtub or shower and air conditioning.
A more compact version of the double room, with 12 sqm and a French bed instead of the large double bed. It is the most affordable option among the available doubles, while still offering a private bathroom, shower and air conditioning.
B-COOL focuses on practical and functional amenities rather than extra services: all rooms are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom with shower (in some cases a bathtub), hairdryer, free toiletries and bath linen. The sleeping area is completed by a wardrobe or closet and, in several room types, a desk, refrigerator and electric kettle, useful for those travelling on business.
The property’s general services include daily housekeeping, luggage storage, fire extinguishers and heating, as well as an elevator that facilitates access to the rooms. The entire property is non-smoking, with rooms dedicated to those who want a smoke-free environment.
As for entertainment, every room is equipped with a flat-screen TV and streaming services such as Netflix, so you can spend the evenings comfortably after a day of sightseeing in the city.
B-COOL is located in the Prati district, a residential and orderly area just steps from the Vatican, between Piazza Risorgimento and the banks of the Tiber. It is an area frequented by both locals and visitors, with shops, historic bars such as Bar Andrea Doria and small neighbourhood restaurants along the surrounding streets, including Il Ciociaro, just 20 metres from the property.
The location is well connected: Ottaviano Metro Station, on line A, is about 100 metres away, while Lepanto Metro Station is 700 metres away. Valle Aurelia railway station is about 1.5 km away. For those arriving by plane, Rome Ciampino Airport is 15 km away, and Fiumicino Airport is 17 km away. The Vatican Museums (450 m) and St. Peter’s Square (800 m) can also be reached on foot in just a few minutes.
The area is ideal for organising visits to the city’s landmark sites: besides the Vatican, Castel Sant’Angelo and Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II are about 1.2 km away, while Piazza Navona can be reached with a 1.8 km walk. In summer it’s best to plan visits to the Vatican Museums in the early morning to avoid crowds, while in winter the queues are generally shorter. The district, less touristy than the historic centre, still remains within walking distance of the capital’s main religious and monumental attractions.
