Buonarroti Guest House is a non-hotel accommodation in the Esquilino district of Rome, just 200 metres from Vittorio Emanuele metro station and 900 metres from Termini station. The central location, particularly appreciated by couples with a score of 9.1, allows guests to reach the Colosseum in about 800 metres and the main railway and metro hubs within a few minutes on foot.
The rooms, all air-conditioned and furnished in a classic style with parquet flooring, are equipped with a flat-screen TV, fridge and private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries. Some room types overlook the inner courtyard, others offer a balcony with a view over the city, catering to different needs while keeping compact and functional sizes.
The property is designed for those seeking a simple, well-connected base for exploring Rome without giving up essential comforts such as free WiFi throughout. It suits couples and adult travellers (access is restricted to guests aged 18 and over), and is less suited to families with children or groups looking for nightlife, given the property’s entirely non-smoking and no-parties policy.
Buonarroti Guest House offers two types of double room, both 14 square metres and designed for two people, with a large double bed as the common base. All rooms share practical amenities such as air conditioning, flat-screen TV, fridge, parquet flooring and a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries, ensuring a functional stay even in compact spaces.
What sets the two options apart is mainly the view: the standard Double Room overlooks the inner courtyard, offering greater quiet and shelter from street noise, while the Double Room with Balcony has a private balcony with a city view, plus a wardrobe for storing personal belongings. The choice between the two room types therefore depends on whether you prefer quiet or a scenic view, while maintaining the same level of comfort and the same size.
