B&B Il Castello

The apartment is very close to the centre of Tivoli, some rooms benefit from a balcony with a view of the castle. The room was easy to access and spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable and AC was quiet and effective. Bathroom was modern and also very clean with powerful spray and rainfall shower. Breakfast was provided via voucher from a local patisserie and consisted of several croissants and a coffee.

In the central atrium, there is a kitchen and seating area that guests are not allowed to use, it’s a shame as access to basic kitchen implements, microwave oven, corkscrew, plates etc would have made our stay much more enjoyable. The elevator is small and ground floor is dark but perfectly safe.

Host was very responsive to questions. Daily housekeeping was great. Restaurant recommendations and discounts were valuable.

No breakfast was offered.

The location is great. It is in the middle of town and you can walk to almost everything.

The amenities say that there is an elevator, which is true but there are 4 steps to get to the elevator. Also, no where in any of the reviews or description of the place tells you that you will be sharing a kitchen with 2 other rooms. It was fine in the end but I was surprised by this. The room was actually big for European size but there are a couple of steps going to the unit as well as in the room - again, this was a surprise from all of the rooms. Finally, if you are coming from the train station be aware that yiu have to walk 10 mins up and down cobble stone roads. This makes the walk very long and difficult. There are no cabs at the train station so we walked and we were exhausted by the time we got there. I would suggest arranging for transportation after you get off the train. Also, the description of the hotel says that there is transportation to the airport. Make sure you do this ahead of time as you need to contact several individuals to get a ride. Another thing, if you do not have a car and you plan to go to Hadrian's Villa - there is a bus to take you there. It is inexpensive but you need to be like a new Yorker and go out in the middle of the street to make sure the bus driver stops! It is bus 18 at the Garibaldi stop.

It had a nice view

It was difficult to find parking, It was a bit difficult to enter the property, water in the fridge would have been nice, cleaning staff entered my room the second day and was telling me I had to go so they could clean the room. An option to decline would have been better.
