Lili & Aurora Home is a guest house in the Esquilino district of Rome, 400 metres from the Vittorio Emanuele metro station and 900 metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The property caters to those seeking a practical and affordable base for visiting the capital, including families, groups of friends and travelers who mainly get around on foot or by public transport.
The four room types, from double to quadruple, share air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, desk, wardrobe and electric kettle, while the shared kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals during their stay. Some rooms feature a balcony and views over the neighbourhood, a detail not to be taken for granted at this price range in central Rome.
The location, particularly appreciated by couples with a score of 8.9, puts the Colosseum, the Domus Aurea and Porta Maggiore within easy reach, all accessible on foot in just a few minutes, while Termini Station is connected by a short metro ride. The free WiFi, highly rated by guests, rounds off an offering designed for those who want to discover Rome without giving up good value for money.
The rooms at Lili & Aurora Home range from the Double Room, designed for two people, to the Quadruple Room, suitable for small groups or families, with single beds alongside a French double bed. All room types offer a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning, desk, wardrobe, electric kettle and flat-screen TV, along with access to the shared kitchen for cooking independently during the stay.
The main difference between the rooms concerns size and capacity: from the 14 square metres of the Double Room to the 21 square metres of the Quadruple Room, with the Basic Triple Room at 18 square metres in between. The Economy version of the Quadruple Room keeps the same size and beds, with a slightly simpler kitchen setup, making it a practical choice for those looking to save as much as possible without sacrificing space.
The Quadruple Room is the largest room type in the property, with 21 square metres and capacity for up to 4 people. It features a balcony, views over the neighbourhood and a fully equipped kitchen with utensils and a microwave, perfect for those who want to prepare meals independently without giving up space.
Identical in size and beds to the standard Quadruple Room, this Economy version offers the same capacity of 4 people with a more basic kitchen setup, without a microwave. It’s the most affordable choice for groups or families on a tighter budget.
More compact than the two quadruple rooms but still spacious, the Basic Triple Room covers 18 square metres and accommodates up to 3 people. The single bed paired with the large double bed makes it versatile for small groups of friends or families with a child.
The smallest of the available rooms, designed for couples or solo travelers, with 14 square metres and a single large double bed. Despite its compact size, it still offers a balcony and access to the shared kitchen, ideal for a short stay in the city centre.
Lili & Aurora Home offers amenities designed for a practical stay in the heart of Rome.
