About
San Lorenzo Guest House - Rome
San Lorenzo Guest House sits in the university district of the same name, on Via Degli Apuli. It is a 2-star property that works more like a small hostel: most beds are in shared 4- or 6-bed dorms, with a single private room with bathroom as the step-up option. The Sardi bus stop is about a 5-minute walk away, and guests mention trams, a metro stop and the main train station being within easy reach.
The property holds a 5.0 guest rating from 816 reviews, a notable score for a budget stay. Reviews consistently point to a friendly, helpful team, clean rooms, daily cleaning and a lively student neighbourhood. Free Wi-Fi and breakfast are listed as amenities, and rooms start from £20.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Consistently high guest rating — A 5.0 average from 816 reviews gives a solid sample for a budget property and points to dependable basics done well.
- Genuinely friendly staff — Reviewers repeatedly single out the team by name — Thomas, the manager, the receptionist — for being welcoming, helpful and quick to assist.
- Cleaning that guests notice — Rooms are described as very clean, and daily cleaning is mentioned by several reviewers. For a property at this price, that consistency is a real asset.
- Easy public transport for sightseeing — The Sardi bus stop is a 5-minute walk from the door, and guests mention tram, metro and main train station connections for reaching the sights.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mostly shared dorms — Three of the four room types are 4- or 6-bed dorms. Privacy is limited unless you book the single private room.
- Breakfast is very basic — The spread is simple — fine for a quick start, but one guest found the setup lacking, with cornflakes but no bowls or cold milk. Keep expectations low.
- Check-in closes at 23:59 — If you're arriving late, you'll need to coordinate with the property, as check-in runs only from 14:00 to 23:59.
- Conflicting pet policy — Amenities list pets as allowed, while the stated policies say pets are not allowed. Anyone travelling with an animal should confirm in writing before booking.

5Verified guest“The location is extremely convenient — a tram stop close by links you to Rome's main attractions. Being in a university area makes it lively and energetic, and a metro station is also near enough for getting around the rest of the city.”
5Verified guest“The manager on the front desk was very welcoming and showed us to a clean room. For a short stay it had everything we needed; we only used it for sleeping and showering. Breakfast was nothing fancy but good.”
5Verified guest“Thomas was friendly and pleasant. The room was good and fairly large, and the location suited us well. There are buses and trams connecting to all the sights.”
5Verified guest“Friendly and helpful staff, plus an efficient cleaning team. Restaurants, pubs and supermarkets are within easy reach, and the Wi-Fi is good, with separate networks for different areas.”
5Verified guest“Thank you for our days at this guest house. Services, staff, room and location were all good, even excellent. We stayed for four nights and would recommend it. Very clean, simple, comfortable and modern room. Particularly well suited to young people. Thanks to Tomas and Lucia.”
5Verified guest“The room was large and had new equipment, while the staff were kind and helpful. Fast free Wi-Fi was a real plus, and breakfast was quite good. With pubs and bars nearby, I didn't feel unsafe after dark, and I still slept quietly in the room.”
