Bed & Breakfast Il Narciso is a guest house in the Ostiense district of Rome, just 100 metres from the Basilica S. Paolo metro station. The property occupies a residential building and offers a limited number of rooms designed for those seeking the independence of a small apartment without giving up the services of a B&B.
The two room types available, both 25 sqm, feature a private kitchen with microwave and utensils, a private bathroom with toiletries and bathrobe, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a city view; one of the two also has a balcony. WiFi is free throughout the property and each room has a flat-screen TV with streaming services and a minibar.
The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.3, thanks to the proximity to neighbourhood bars, gelaterias and restaurants and to the rail connections that reach the historic centre in just a few minutes, with the Colosseum about 4 km away. The property is entirely non-smoking and is not suitable for bachelor or bachelorette parties.
Bed & Breakfast Il Narciso offers two types of double room, both 25 sqm and designed for two people, with a very similar layout but a few differences worth knowing before choosing. In both cases you sleep in a large double bed, in an air-conditioned and soundproofed room, with a private bathroom complete with bidet, bathrobe and toiletries, plus a small kitchen with microwave and utensils that lets you prepare a meal independently.
What mainly sets the two options apart is the view: the Double Room with Private Bathroom opens onto the city with a simple view, while the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony adds a private outdoor space from which to enjoy the rooftops of the Ostiense district. Both include a flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and tea and coffee making facilities, making the stay practical even for longer periods.
