We have just returned from a two night stay at the Awakenings in Rome. great location witheasy access to the major sites. We walked everywhere but the metro station is close by. On arrival we were made welcome with the owner offering refreshments. Nice,clean and individually styled rooms.To access the apartment/B&B you will need to either walk up to the third floor or take the small elevator, this is totally fine but if you are not comfortable with small spaces this may be an issue. Also we walked past the place a couple of times as there is no clear signage, just a piece of paper stuck to the outside wall. please don't let this put you off as I would without a doubt stay here again.

Great location....

approx 5 mins walk from Villa Borghese.  5 mins to Via Veneto and the metro/tube stations. Then less than 10 mins on the metro to Termini station.  Very quiet area in August.  Few bars/restaurants open but the proprietor recommended a few places on Via Veneto.  
Room small but adequate with a balcony, TV, lamps, aircon and en suite shower room.  Soap and shower gel provided as well as plenty of towels and linen, we didn't expect the room to be cleaned on the weekend but it was.  Lift or stairs to 3rd floor.  Pleasant owner/manager.  Coffee/tea/water/ croissants, cakes etc constantly available.  We stayed 2 nights - approx £100 inc city tax.  If you are happy to walk to the metro and stay outside the centro storico and Termini station it is ideal.  Somewhat gaudy baroque style rooms but clean and a very comfortable double bed.  I would stay here again.

Bargain price in August

We were informed about relocation to this B&B on our landing in Rome and without any explanation from staff at DAB B&B.I was lucky to have my mobile in roaming.We were handed the keys and that was the only time we saw the member of staff as nobody came to check us out two days later,so we left the keys on the desk.The major inconvenience was the absence of hot water-actually it lasted a minute before turning cold so we had to take cold showers!!!My original choice was based on Tripadvisor reviews and I don't think I would have agreed to this relocation.They should respect their customers!

Disappointment

​From the very first day we arrived there was no one there to open us the door. We were waiting outside from 8.00 am and we were trying to call the owner but there was no answer. The cafe next door was trying to contact him and after multiple phone calls the owner answered the phone telling us that he was SLEEPING and that we should go and check in at 1pm. We left our suitcases to the cafe. At 1pm that we went back the owner was still not there, and instead a Bulgarian woman who lives on the 4th floor to check us in. We paid extra money for taxes and the vouchers for the breakfast were just a coffee and a croissant. You had to pay extra for anything else. We didn't see the owner until the 4th day of our trip (we were staying there 6 nights) when he had to tell us that there were going to be technicians coming from the next day from 8am until 6pm because there was an urgency issue with the tubes and they have to break the floors etc. He gave us the choice to either stay but leave the room the whole day or move to another hotel. We chose to move to another hotel the next day but the thing is that up to the point that we were there waiting for the taxi to arrive (approx. 10am) there were no technicians as they have told us and the label of the hotel was removed form the door. We didn't see any technicians even in the afternoon around 4pm when we passed again from there. 

Also the Barberini metro station is not 200m as they describe but 1-2 km.

Unprofessionals and Liars

​From the day we booked there was problems. First the host was unbelievably show to respond. We had a late flight and requested a late check in time. He agreed to this and all seemed fine. We were then in formed that our flight time had changed and we would be getting to Rome closer to midnight. We asked if we could get a later check in time. He said he would do this but at a big cost ~€100. We said this was too much and we would get a hotel for the night and check in - in the morning. He told us this wasn't possible as there would be no-one to check us in. We then said we would agree to the late check in fee and book in that night.
 He agreed to this at first before then - for no explicit reason he rescinded the offer. We got to the place the next day and tried to get in by calling him via the cafe next door but he wouldn't answer. We had to abandon this place and find another hotel short notice. In short AVOID AT ALL COSTS
