The location and security of Matisse was excellent with a lovely Romanesque courtyard gated from the main road, Rosella greeted us warmly :) But once inside the property was lacking any feel of quality really, not even any doors on the wardrobe.... This was only Bed and Breakfast after all, but we have stayed in better in Blackpool lol. The 'breakfast' was none existent when we left at 8 am to meet with excursions and had it been there only would have consisted of plain plastic wrapped cornettis (plain croissant one per person), yogurt, tea and coffee. To summarise, Matisse gave us a great base to explore from but without any communal area or comfort to speak of and lack of breakfast we can only recommend it as a place to get your head down.

Very disappointing experience. You would expect a nicely prepared breakfast with fresh pastry and cappuccino from a B&B right? Well, it is a self service, no fresh pastries, low quality milk, yogurts and juices; by the way you have to clean your own dishes in the small kitchen that you share with others. Not what you want to do when you pay $300 per night and your are on vacation. The bathroom is separate from your room and the doors are very noisy (old building), so you wake up the ret of the family when you have to go to the restroom at night. There is no TV in the bedroom. The mattresses and pillows are really hard and the room was on a noisy back street (restructuring the building across the street). The only good thing is the location. You can walk to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill/Fori Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona within 20 min. Overall we do not recommend this B&B, especially for older people since you have to climb stairs to go from ground to second floor (no elevator).

Disliked: Staff & service
Bait-and-switch. This is NOT what i expected at all. Breakfast was a bottle of hot water with instant coffee bags and small plastic wrapped bread located at the beginning of the hallway. No separate breakfast area as pictured on travelocity. This place is also known under several different names. Guess it depends on your arrival time where you will end up. Reception was not very friendly. Do not book this. Way overpriced for what you get. Also, i learned to never ever book a flight together with a hotel room! You will get a "hop-on" hotel for way more $$$ than you would pay if booked separately. Do not fall for that. Travelocity should ban bait-and switch members on here. This is deceptive and false advertisement.

Great B&B near all the sites

Loved our stay at Matisse. Our rooms were large and clean, had a nice living area and kitchen to make coffee. In a great location to all the sites! Bathrooms were outside of room but very close and that didn't bother us.

Nice. In a good location in the city and secure.

This would be a nice place to stay if you are familiar with Rome already and just want an inexpensive place. The hotel staff were basically unavailable and unreachable. The only person we saw after check-in (for 5 days) was the housekeeper. I needed help with something, but could never get in touch with anyone at the number given in the contact information.

Not what I expected.

It wasn't what I expected for it to be. Breakfast was a few minutes walk away from the building, coffee and a croissant is all you get. They tell you very specifically to turn all the lights off and the air conditioning off whenever you leave the room. Someone walks into the unit whenever; early morning or late at night to go to the supply room when we were supposed to have the entire unit to ourselves. It wasn't pleasant; I had to tell my family to lock their individual rooms at night.

Not as described. No real breakfast.

The room along a corridor is located in a great spot near all the sites we wanted to see. However the "b&b" should have only been called a "b" as there was not a full breakfast as I do not consider yogurt and a cheap Croissant a breakfast. There manager was very rude on our arrival and was difficult to find as it is located in a building along with a lot of other "hotels". There was no table to eat your "breakfast" and no staff on site past noonish if you had any issues. The experience itself was a let down, as we had to eat breakfast out to give us the fuel for a good day in Rome. We would never return here or recommend it to anyone. In fact I will be seeking some money back.

Room Clean but that's you can say about this place

We arrived late and had to buzz for the owner as there is no reception. We had booked a twin room and were given a double, when I said that this was wrong, the owner said he would change it the next day. We never got a change, but he did put an extra bed in the room. The Bed & "Breakfast" is a bit of a joke. There is a very small area where there is a fridge and a counter. From here you have to make your own tea & coffee and there are only pre-packed croissants (jam filled, flavour only) and in the fridge there is a choice of 2 yoghurts and bottled water. That's your lot!!! There is no reception, so no one to speak to and couldn't get hold of the owner very often; my friend and I had to leave written messages on the counter if we needed anything. The pictures on the website look great, but we had to ask the owner where the lovely lounge area was, as we couldn't find it. He did eventually show it to us, but we couldn't access it, as it was in a different part of the complex and our keys didn't fit the door for this area. I definitely would not stay here again or, indeed, recommend it. Definitely "No Stars" from me

Excellent location, excellent hotel and stay!

Matisse B&B is a nice gem located in a large building with several other hotels. There are several levels of security/locked doors which I appreciated. The hotel is located just steps from a bus stop and about a block from the metro in a location the I consider ideal for accessing all of the Roman sights. Roberto was a great host and accessible to my needs at the push of a button. There is a communal refrigerator stocked with juice, water and yogurt which can be accessed anytime. There are also croissants and coffee available. Our stay also included a daily free continental breakfast at a restaurant across the street. Our room (the one closest to the refrigerator) was spacious and a had a moderately large en-suite bathroom (for European standards).

B&ab in the heart of Rome, what more do you want?M

Matisse B&B is ideal for people that want a comfy bed, a shower and an unhurried continental breakfast,it's clean and you are pretty much left to get on with it, in a fantastic location so you can walk to nearly all the sights and if you don't fancy walking the metro and buses are a minutes walk away, would book again if/when in Rome again.

Nice basic hotel, staff friendly and explained everything well, especially the cryptic door lock. Ended up in the adjacent Matisse hotel, which was slightly off via Nazionale, no issues though. Had no water one day, but was quickly sorted. Nice little hotel for the price

Safe, boutique, near train station, walk to sites

We were met by the caretaker who gave us all the information for getting in and out, finding things in town. We were offered an upgrade to a room with a private bath and shower for a couple of euros more a night. It was worth it. Kitchen available 24-7. Walking distance to all attractions including Coliseum, Pantheon, Borghese Villa, museums. Good shopping including local grocery shopping within two blocks. Bed was comfortable and clean, water was hot for shower, secure windows to eliminate street noise at night. We had no complaints at all.
