Merulana Inn Guest House

We absolutely loved our stay at Merulana Inn. It is not a regular hotel but better! Location: It is on the third floor of a building located very close to the church of Santa Maria Maggiori where you can easily catch several bus lines around the city. It is approximately 5 blocks from Termini train station as well. It is also very close to wonderful restaurants and gelaterias in the safe Monti neighborhood. Breakfast: it is included and although rather basic for US standards it was plentiful for European standards (and you’re in Europe so adapt!) and the kitchen helpers could not have been nicer. I enjoyed 1 or 2 coffees each morning and never left hungry in the morning. They offer to make your coffee fresh for you. Room: room was very comfortable. Mattress was on the softer side which I absolutely appreciated. There were many blankets as we were there in the winter but the room had an independent European wall AC/heat unit. The bathroom was very clean with a bidet, deep tub and towel warmer we loved! We also watched news from YouTube on the television and could watch Netflix after logging onto our account. Outlets were conveniently located on each side table of the bed. There was a safe and desk with excellent fast and reliable free WiFi included. Hosts: Karen and Karina were wonderful hosts. Always there to greet us with a friendly smile and answer all questions we had about transportation or the city. They even had guide books, maps and umbrellas for guests! They played an important role in contributing to a wonderful stay in Rome. The owners should give them a raise because they elevated the inn to another level altogether. Like having a personal concierge! Accessibility: I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and left my wheelchair behind this trip. However, because reviews about accessibility are always lacking I will include a review. This place is not accessible for anyone wheelchair bound. However, if you can walk some this may be a good place to stay. There are 5 steps after entering the building to reach an elevator and no more steps to manage. The elevator is narrow and would barely fit a transport chair. If you have a foldable wheelchair or stroller it would fit sideways. Summary: this place is a wonderful choice to explore the city! We will absolutely stay here again! We will miss Rome and seeing Karen or Katrina’s kind smile and greeting each morning and evening!

A delightful stay...a clean and welcoming room, with attention to detail and furnishings. We were greeted with a smile and utmost professionalism. The property is conveniently located, close to the train station and many of the city's …

A great place in a perfect location! The room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The excellent communication with the staff made our stay even more enjoyable. Delicious coffee in the morning. A perfect base for exploring Rome – I highly recommend it!
