Il Bonsai B&B is a bed and breakfast in the Nomentano district of Rome, 200 metres from Piazza Bologna Metro Station and 650 metres from Roma Tiburtina Railway Station, a strategic hub for those arriving by train or moving around by public transport.
The property is designed for travellers looking for a practical and tidy base: every room has a private bathroom with bidet, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator, plus a set for preparing tea and coffee and a microwave oven available for use. WiFi is free throughout the property. Breakfast, of the Italian type, is included in the stay and is appreciated by guests along with the care given to the spaces.
The three room types, all with a view of the inner courtyard, share the same comfort standards but differ in size and bed configuration, suiting couples and small groups. The Nomentano area offers shops, bars and trattorias just a few steps away, while Rome’s historic centre, with the Colosseum and Piazza di Spagna, remains reachable within a few minutes by metro.
Il Bonsai B&B offers three types of double/twin room with single beds, all facing the property’s inner courtyard and air-conditioned. Each option has a private bathroom with bidet, a set for preparing tea and coffee and a flat-screen TV, elements that ensure a practical stay even for longer visits.
The rooms differ mainly in size, ranging from 14 to 16 square metres, and in bed configuration: two types offer the choice between two single beds with a sofa bed or an extra-large double bed with a sofa bed, while the third keeps a fixed single-bed layout, making it the most suitable for stays of three people. Parquet or tiled floors and functional furnishings complete each option, making the choice flexible according to each guest’s needs.
The largest of the three types available, at 16 square metres with a view of the inner courtyard. It offers two alternative configurations: two single beds with a sofa bed or an extra-large double bed with a sofa bed, suiting both couples and small groups. Equipped with a coffee machine and air conditioning.
A more compact version compared to the 16 sqm room, with the same dual possibility of bed configuration. The private bathroom is fitted with a shower and bidet, while the parquet and tiled floors define a sober and functional environment, ideal for those seeking practicality without giving up bed flexibility.
The only one of the three rooms with a fixed configuration of single beds plus sofa bed, designed to accommodate up to three people in a stable way without alternative bed options. Same 14 sqm size as the previous room, but with furnishings designed for groups or families who do not need a double bed.
Il Bonsai B&B offers free WiFi throughout the property and fully air-conditioned rooms, with parquet or tiled floors and an entirely non-smoking property. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus a wardrobe, an electrical outlet near the bed and a sofa bed for extra flexibility in the space.
For breakfast and small meals in the room, a coffee machine, electric kettle, microwave oven and refrigerator are available, useful for those staying several days. The property also offers an iron on request and rooms designed for families, with larger rooms available.
Among the general services are fire extinguishers, key access and invoices available on request, elements that complete an offer geared toward everyday practicality rather than extra amenities.
Il Bonsai B&B is located in the Nomentano district, a residential area northeast of Rome’s historic centre, brought to life by the lively Piazza Bologna just 150 metres away, with neighbourhood bars, shops and trattorias such as Trattoria da Mamma a few dozen metres from the entrance door.
