A new way to experience rome

Since we opened the City Guest House 20 years ago we’ve been offering an alternative experience than your typical hotel: we’re outside the historic center and slap bang in the middle of the real Rome. We believe that our guests leave with a richer and more authentic experience of the city.

Convivial House is a philosophy as much as a place to stay

We’ve re-thought the spaces of the City Guest House and introduced new types of rooms: go to our Accommodation page for an more info and photos.

Our 6-bedroom apartment, for example, is perfect for groups of friends travelling together and spaces are arranged around a central kitchen and dining area.

It also represents the great #foodie experience of Accasadì restuarant and Convivio Bistro, which have been serving locals and our guests for over 10 years.

More importantly, it reflect traveller’s changing needs and expectations as they visit new places and experience new cultures.

We've replaced our reception with a wine bar (opened Jan 2020)

Don’t worry, you’ll be taken care of with the same professionalism and enthusiasm. With the added benefit of a glass of dry white, a proper espresso or a fresh juice. The Convivo Bistrot is open all day long and offers breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Check yourself in... or let us help you the old fashioned way

We embrace technology but only when it helps make life easier, like with our new Key Cafe system or the option to communicate with us via your preferred channel, including Whatsapp.

But if you prefer to interact with someone in the flesh there is always a member of staff you can buzz.

A different space: generous, elegant and homely

The City Guest House was ‘re-engineered’ to provide more options to travellers, whether travelling alone or in a big group.

We did not aim to fit as many ‘bums on beds’ as possible. Quite the opposite, as we’ve seen over the years: comfort, privacy, space and customer satisfaction are big selling points.

Foodie heaven at Accasadì

We opened Accasadì back in 2009 to offer our guests the same type of dishes they would find in any Roman family’s home. It quickly became popular with locals, which is a better measure than any online review.

Check out Accasadì.
