Extremely welcoming place, the owner Maria was excellent. She was most helpful and accommodating. I would recommend staying here near the archeological district of Rome, walking distance to the Colosseum. I would stay here again.

Maria was a phenomenal host! Made us feel right at home with the welcome. As tourists, some of the most important things are access to snacks and water and Maria ensured that our stay had 24x7 availability of still and sparkling bottled water and anple snack options! Location of the guest house is perfect, with Colosseum in like its backyard (so close on foot!!). Everything else was walking distance! After a full day of roaming in Rome, we closed the day with a night view of the Colosseum on our way back. Several outstanding food joints, including some of the most famous Pizza restaurants in Rome! The suite in itself is nice and clean and feels like home. Its washroom was the smallest (for instance no bidet), but keeping in mind everything else t that was so awesome about this place, including Maria as the host, highly recommend staying at this place! P.S. This is a prime example of what great customer service should look like! Had a wonderful experience in Italy!

We loved staying at Guest House Cavor in Rome. Maria was an amazing host, very welcoming and helpful. The room had everything we needed for our night's stay, it was very clean and we loved the art on the walls! I have to mention the location as it was a great spot for our two days in Rome - it wasn't even 5 min walk to the Colosseum. Thank you to Maria again and we hope to return next year!!

Fantastic location and a very helpful and informative host, who is on the property to answer any questions one may have. She went out of her way to help me plan my visit to Rome. I enjoyed the stay so much that I booked the same place again on my return from Florence. I would recommend Guest House Cavour 278 to anyone!

A most pleasant and practical address
Maria is a charming and so helpful hostess, her house couldn't be better located being so close to Coliseum and of very easy access, with super clean rooms and bathrooms. We came by car and ,as we couldn't park anywhere , she actually took the trouble to give us her own parking spot , this was more than kind. We loved being located so centrally in an old roman buidling and felt most welcome and secure. The old charming lift ensured that 4th floor wasn't an issue with luggages. Definitely a good address for a couple of nights in Rome.

Great night in Rome!
Although we only had one night in Rome, we are so happy that we chose to stay at Guest House Cavour 278. It was perfect. The host, Maria, is a real pleasure. She was helpful, sweet and obviously cares about her place and the comfort of all who stay there. It is so conveniently located, just a few minute walk to the Coliseum and the other historical sites there. And great little restaurants on the same street. The room was small, but super clean with a comfy bed...and really, isn't that all you need? We will be staying here again on our next visit to Rome. Hopefully, that will be soon!

Perfect base to explore Rome
Cavour 278 was every bit as good as we had read in previous reviews. Easy to find... a 20 minute walk up Via Cavour from Termini station, and our host Maria was waiting for us when we arrived. Lots of restaurants and cafés nearby, we liked La Base restaurant which is only a few metres from the hotel entrance. It's definitely worth pre-booking major attractions like the Colosseum and Vatican in order to avoid the very long queues.

Super séjour
Super séjour! Maria et ses deux petites chiennes sont adorables! La chambre est très propre et confortable. Un peu de bruit parce que ça donne sur la route mais tout à fait acceptable. Petit déjeuner en autonomie très très correct. Bonne situation géographique à un prix tout à fait abordable . À 700 m du Colisée et proche du centre historique. Proche des transports en commun.

Hotel like apartment
The place is so-called hotel is actually an apartment that it’s rooms are being rented. The owner was acting like a landlord and the place had two dogs in it which was the reason of the hall had a bad smell. Other than that place is easy to find and cleaning was decent. Just make sure to check food’s due date in the kitchen.
