-Beautiful and peaceful inner yard -Unique building -Convenient location nearby Colosseum and the Vittorio Emanuell metro station -Very clean -Felt safe and secluded -The shared bathrooms worked well, I was able to access them whenever I wanted to -Decent enough breakfast selection (bread, jam, peanut butter, coffee, juice), plenty of available space at breakfast -Kitchen available to cook if you wanted to dine in -Affordably priced -Free WiFi that worked well -Fan in room -Even though there wasn't a 24/7 reception I still felt very safe at night knowing there were multiple closed doors on the entry floor and huge doors that were closed on the individual room floors. Nighttime was quiet, I slept like a log most of the time. Be aware that this is a simple place to stay at, not a luxurious one- beds are narrow, there's no TV, hairdryer or AC- but it's a charming, unique place to stay at as long as you understand what to expect. I very much enjoyed my stay and would be happy to return.

-I can see the 22.30 curfew becoming a problem for some visitors. It was only a worry for me one time when I was partaking in an evening tour and ended up running late when trying to find my way back. Not sure what would happen if you run late and accidentally don't make it back on time. -Having to leave the key at the reception when going out. Still, I know this setup is standard for places that have keys instead of keycards. At one point I was handed a key to a different room when getting back and that did worry me. -Slightly difficult to get to from places like Piazza Navona, required lots of walking or changing buses.

Casa S. Giuseppe di Cluny was perfect for my 2 night stay in Rome. It is less than 10 minutes to the Colosseum and to Rome Termini. I had a single room which was quite big. Whilst the rooms are basic, I found mine extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The monastery is beautiful and a highlight is enjoying the continental breakfast in the cloister overlooking the garden. The coffee is hot too! I will definitely be back.

Great location, 10 min walk to the Colloseum. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, they explained everything in a proper way. Breakfast was included and the garden is just amazing. Rooms were clean, the toilet and the bathroom were shared but for 3 nights I haven’t seen anyone in my wing. Shampoo and soap were provided for free. Even though there were no AC, my room had portable AC so hot weather was not an issue.

Room looked quite old and there was no hair dryer, but I knew it is a monastery so didn’t expect rooms to be super modern. Also the place was available to get in only before 22:30 but for me it was not a problem.

This is an absolutely beautiful building, so beautiful in fact that it’s hard to leave. Every moment of down time I had between visiting attractions or dinners I spend in the courtyard here, which was a welcome calm and shade from the heatwave and hustle and bustle of the Roman streets. All the staff I had the pleasure of interacting with were helpful and friendly with kind faces. I would have loved to see more of the property or learned more about it, but I bet if I had asked them, they would have been willing to tell.

Too nice I don’t want to leave.

Good location, close to Rome Termini railway station and Colosseum. Friendly staff. It was extremely hot in Rome and having a fan in the room was helpful (no air conditioning though).

There is a curfew at night which is inconvenient. Also, lights are turned off at night so you have to navigate with a flashlight if you want to get to the kitchen, toilet, etc. Breakfast is average, does not have any cooked items like eggs and sausages, and only bread items and yogurt is available. No air-conditioning but a fan is available.

the history and beauty. high ceiling beautiful shuttered windows you could open . great garden with seating to relax in. you had a kitchen available and could eat and drink your own food and wine. if even had its own chapel.

it was very hot when we arrived and rooms are not air conditioned but we were fine in evening with nice breeze through the windows. it would of been nice to have an iron available in the room. the bathrooms are functional but small. just comments to advise a traveller not an issue for us we just loved this stay.

This was the most beautiful and serene place to stay. Lovely gardens, good breakfast and great hosts. It was central to everything especially the historic quarter. There was no noise, just birds singing in the day. I had a little slip on the stairs and the staff were on hand to check I was ok, on several occasions. The room was ok, but perfect for me. The facilities were spotless. I couldn't have a had a better place to stay while I was in Rome. Thankyou very much ☺️

The hosts were amazing! so kind and helpful, always smile. Had a single room, was great for 2 nights (was out almost all day long). Everything was super clean in the bedroom and the bathroom, well maintained property. The location was excellent, ~6 min walking to the colosseum and ~15 to rome termini. You can find places to eat around which aren’t far away. Nice garden on the first floor, you can eat there with a lovely view and fresh air. The area is pretty quiet. Thank you, will definitely recommend and hopefully be back.

For me, as a single traveler everything was great.

Good continental breakfast on the terrace. Wonderful colonnades and gardens for relaxing Good Kitchen available Beautiful old building Window opened onto terrace for fine views

Bed was very narrow and hard as a rock. If twin beds were used, room would be small. I was allocated a room in the deep bowels of the place with share bathroom but I think en suite rooms were larger

I absolutely loved the location and the staff and the building. Of all the things I saw in Rome, the one I miss the most now when I am back home is this place. As a Christian, I felt something very very special there, there was such peace and it was a lovely oasis in the very busy and chaotic city. They have their own chapel (which in my country would be a moderately sized church) and it feels like staying at a monastery. The floors are wonderful, there are Christian sculptures and paintings in many places, the ceiling is high and vaulted, and there are nuns often to be seen. For once during my stay in Rome I felt that someone perceived me as a person, not a money machine, and truly cared for me and my wellbeing. The breakfast is at 8, but when I had to be in the city centre at 7:30, they laid breakfast out for me at 6:00. I was only one person of all the others who stayed there, the only one who needed to go somewhere early, and they still did this for me. The receptionists went out of their way to not only tell me where to find the breakfast room and such, but they left the reception to show me. On a sidenote, I sleep very badly and have nightmares if I don't have a light on somewhere during the night. Here they didn't have a light I could leave on during the night that wasn't too strong, so I tried sleeping without a light for the first time in many many years, and to my great surprise I had the best sleep I have had for years, and no nightmares. The garden is wonderful, and since I am from a Northern country, I saw things I had never seen before - such as a lemon tree with blossoms and lemons, and date palm trees. Staying there really felt like a dream, and it really was the most pleasant experience I had in Rome. I don't miss the other things I saw, such as the galleries and cultural monuments - those were impressive, definitely, but I feel like seeing them once is enough for me.

Check in can only be done til 22:00 and the building gets locked at 22:30. Since I wanted to see Rome illuminated at night, I had to hurry a bit to make it back on time before 22:30, because I walked everywhere. But that's okay, I didn't really mind that.
