All beds have personal reading lights and outlets with USB ports. Guests each get an individual locker with a key for small valuables.

Classic, Sweets and Annex rooms are our three different room types. All rooms have safes for valuables and either ceiling fans or AC, private ensuite bathroom or sink in the room, and can be made up as double beds or singles depending on the room type. Rooms are simple, bright, colourful and cheery with artistic and personal touches. All guests have access to a communal fridge or mini-fridge depending on the room type. Towels and toiletries are provided. Please note that towels & linens are not changed daily.

The Beehive cafe is vegetarian and mostly organic. We make our own homemade bread and cakes and use organic, free trade coffee. Food is prepped to order and we have a variety of options from muesli, cereal or pastries, to oatmeal, omelettes or tofu scramble. We have a few vegan options and can accommodate gluten intolerant with advance notice. The cafe is open to guests as well as the public. See the menu here. We have limited kitchen use for guests with refrigerator, microwave, kettle, plates, glasses, and cutlery, but no stovetop cooking facilities.

Once a month we hold a popular monthly storytelling event in English. We have donation based, family style dinners twice a week and organize cooking classes. Yoga classes, massage and limited aesthetician services are available by request. We've hosted art and charity events, secondhand clothing markets, blogger meet-ups, tarot readings and much more. We're curious about people and their stories and inspired by the world around us. We want our guests to socialize, but we can't do it alone. It's up to you to decide how social (or not) you choose to be.

A trip is only made great if you receive (and use) excellent advice and recommendations. Our app contains almost two decades worth of curated suggestions, compiled by our own experience of living in this city and of staying informed about what's new & relevant. We believe strongly in sharing our advice so whether you're here for 1 day or 1 week, we want you to eat well and experience the best of Rome. Download the app here

As environmentalists, social justice activists and vegetarians, we don't just talk the talk but extend our beliefs into our business. We use eco-friendly cleaning products, recycle, use LED lighting, recycled toilet paper, hand towels & napkins, collect clothes and toiletries to donate to the homeless, support refugee initiatives and much more.
