Luciano San Giovanni Guest House is a guest house in the San Giovanni district of Rome, 900 meters from San Giovanni Metro Station and about 1.7 km from the Colosseum.
The property occupies one floor of a building on Via Pompei and offers four room types, from the more compact 16 sqm double rooms to the 37 sqm family suite with a kitchenette. All rooms feature a private bathroom with shower, toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a desk; several units open onto a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard or a quiet street.
It’s a solution designed for those visiting Rome mainly on foot or by metro: the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano is less than a kilometer away, and the Baths of Caracalla about 1.2 km. WiFi is free throughout the property, while a paid airport shuttle is available on request for those arriving from Fiumicino or Ciampino. The area, lively with neighborhood bars and pizzerias, is especially appreciated by couples for its location.
The four room types at Luciano San Giovanni Guest House share some basic amenities: a private bathroom with shower and toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a desk, and bed linen and towels provided. Room sizes vary significantly, from the 16 sqm of the more compact double rooms to the 37 sqm of the family suite, designed for those traveling in groups or with children.

The family suite adds a feature unique to the property, a full kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, utensils and an electric kettle, plus an independent entrance. The quadruple room and the suite share the same bed configuration, designed to accommodate up to four people.
