About

Imperial 78 Bed & Breakfast - Rome

Imperial 78 Bed & Breakfast sits on Viale Trastevere, a lively street lined with bars and restaurants. The tram station is just a short walk away, and the train station is nearby too, making it easy to reach Rome's main sights. The Altar of the Fatherland is about a 25-minute walk from the door.

Rooms are simple and comfortable, with air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs. Some categories add extras like a spa bath or a garden view. The staff are regularly praised for going out of their way to help, and the breakfast spread – which sometimes includes wine – is a highlight for many guests.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Mixed overall rating — With an average score of 7.8 out of 10, it doesn't hit the heights of some nearby properties – though individual reviews are largely positive.
  • Limited in-room amenities — Rooms come with basic comforts, but there's no mention of extras like a minibar, safe, or coffee-making facilities in the room data.
  • Small property — As a bed & breakfast rather than a full hotel, facilities are limited – no fitness centre, spa, or restaurant on site.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 10:00 and 14:00, which may be inconvenient for later arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is no pets.
