Santa Bibiana B&B is an extra-hotel property located on the third floor of an Umbertine-style building in the Esquilino area of Rome, about 15 minutes on foot from the Colosseum and just 400 meters from the Vittorio Emanuele metro station. Its location, right next to Termini station, makes it convenient both for those arriving by train and for those wanting to move quickly towards the main monuments of the historic center.
The four available rooms share essential features such as air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a private bathroom with shower, but differ in size, view and bed layout: from the more compact Double Room to the 19 square meters of the Spacious Double/Twin Room, designed for those wanting more space.

Santa Bibiana B&B offers four room types, all equipped with private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and flat-screen TV with streaming services, designed to ensure a practical stay in the heart of Esquilino.
