Le Fate Suites

Amazing value This is more accurately a bed and breakfast. It is clean, across the road from a regional train station, quiet, and an amazing value. I would definitely stay here again. It is not fancy or posh, but is a reliable and affordable place to stay in Rome.

While we are generally rather easy to satisfy and frugal during our travels we were still a little disappointed by the low value for money this accommodation offered. It felt more like a self-service apartment than a B&B. The owner states that breakfast is served from 8-9 every morning. In reality this breakfast consisted only of some processed, store-bought pastries and cookies in plastic wraps, sometimes 2, sometimes 3 pieces per person, sometimes none at all (apparently whoever is supposed to refill them tends to skip days randomly). We were also assigned a shelf in the fridge with a bottle of water, a box of milk and three pieces of fruit for both of us - all of which were never restocked when empty and lasted us only for 2 days of our 6-day stay. There's no coffee unless you make it for yourself using a very old Italian espresso maker. If you want juice, butter or savoury items for breakfast you have to buy them yourself. We washed the dirty dishes ourselves because no one else would show up to do it, leaving the items to pile up in the sink. The same goes for the cleaning. Our room was never once cleaned during our stay. Neither toilet paper nor soap were ever refilled so we also ended up buying these things ourselves. The owner (whom we saw only twice) was nice and friendly, yet we can't help but feel that he puts very little effort into his B&B. What you get has little to do with the services stated on the website and booking platforms.
