About

Laterano Inn

Laterano Inn is a 3-star bed & breakfast on Via La Spezia, in Rome's San Giovanni district. The location is its quiet superpower: the San Giovanni metro station is a short walk away, which puts the Colosseum and Forum Romanum within easy reach — about 20 minutes on foot for the Colosseum, or a quick ride for the rest of the historic centre. The property is smoke-free throughout and keeps a fire extinguisher and first aid kit on hand.

Rooms are straightforward but well equipped, with parquet floors, air conditioning and heating, and practical extras like an electric kettle and fridge. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff, especially host Angela, who is known for going beyond the basics — maps, tips, and small treats included. Breakfast is handled with vouchers for a bar on the ground floor, where the Italian-style spread gets regular mentions.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site services — This is a small B&B, not a full-service hotel — breakfast is served via vouchers for a nearby bar, and there's no restaurant or room service on site.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 20:00, so if you're arriving late, you'll need to plan ahead or arrange something with the host — but that's not guaranteed.
  • Comfort rating lags behind the rest — While rooms and service score high, the comfort category sits at 6.6 — lower than every other rating — suggesting some guests find the beds or temperature control less than perfect.
  • Parking is not a given — Parking is listed as an amenity, but in central Rome that often means paid, limited street parking or a nearby garage. No details are provided on cost or reservation.
