Banchi Vecchi Stay Rooms is a guest house in the historic centre of Rome, 500 metres from Piazza Navona and the same distance from Castel Sant’Angelo. The property occupies a building within the maze of alleys between Via dei Banchi Vecchi and the Tiber, in one of the most walkable areas of the capital.
The rooms, all with private entrance, come with air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV and coffee machine; some also feature a sitting area for those who want more space to relax after a day among museums and monuments. The offer includes three types of double room, distinguished mainly by size and finish, from the Budget to the Deluxe with walk-in shower.
Guests also have access to a shared lounge, useful for socialising or planning the day. The location is the most obvious strength: reviews give the area a score of 9.6, particularly appreciated by couples, while the proximity to metro stations such as Ottaviano and Lepanto makes it easy to get around the rest of the city, including the Vatican Museums and the historic centre.
The rooms at Banchi Vecchi Stay Rooms share a common set-up: private bathroom with courtesy set, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, coffee machine and private entrance, designed to give guests independence even with later arrival times. All feature a large double bed and are furnished with a wardrobe, desk and, in some cases, a small living area that adds extra breathing room.
The range is organised across three levels, distinguished mainly by size and bathroom finishes: from the Budget Double Room, the most compact at 14 square metres, to the Superior which rises to 16 square metres, up to the Deluxe, also 16 square metres but with a walk-in shower and the possibility of hosting one extra child. The choice between the three types therefore depends mainly on the desired space and preferred shower type, while the basic amenities remain consistent throughout the property.
The most compact in the property, at 14 square metres with a private bathroom featuring shower, bidet and hairdryer. It has a sitting area with flat-screen TV, private entrance, coffee machine, wardrobe and safe: the most essential solution for those looking for a practical pied-à-terre in the centre of Rome.
Larger than the Budget, at 16 square metres with the same basic amenities but more breathing room. The private bathroom with shower and bidet, the sitting area with flat-screen TV and the private entrance make it an intermediate choice for those who want a little more space without giving up practicality.
The only room type with a walk-in shower instead of a traditional shower, and able to accommodate one child in addition to two adults. Same size as the Superior, 16 square metres, but with a more modern bathroom and the same sitting area, flat-screen TV and private entrance.

Every unit has a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary bathroom products, along with air conditioning, flat-screen TV and free WiFi connection. There is also a coffee machine in the room, useful for those who prefer to keep their own schedule without relying on a structured dining service.
Guests also have access to a shared kitchen and a lounge with a TV area, spaces designed for socialising or planning sightseeing days. Private and express check-in and check-out make arrivals easier, while key access and an in-room safe provide greater independence and security.
The property is entirely non-smoking, with parquet flooring in all rooms and heating included. Iron and ironing board are available on request, as is an invoice for those who need one.
