About

Giovy

Giovy is a family-run bed and breakfast on Via Principe Amedeo, a short walk from Rome's Termini station. It operates at a small scale, and the same names come up again and again in reviews: Giovanna, her sister and her nieces, who are remembered for friendly service and practical help with maps, transport and local tips.

Rooms are straightforward but clean, with air conditioning, heating and private bathrooms, and the breakfast spread draws consistent praise. It is the kind of place where guests are welcomed like houseguests – one reviewer even had wine and biscuits sent up for a birthday.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Hosts who go further than expected — Reviewers repeatedly mention Giovanna and her family by name, noting warm welcomes, local tips, help with maps and small personal touches like a birthday bottle of wine.
  • A practical base next to Termini — A short walk from Rome's main station, with buses, Metro and airport train links, plus easy walking access to Santa Maria Maggiore and many central sights. The surrounding streets are full of restaurants.
  • Breakfast that holds up — Guests describe a generous spread with fresh juice, pastries, sandwiches, tea and coffee, and call it better than expected for this price level.
  • Clean, comfortable rooms — Multiple reviews describe spotless rooms, air conditioning and comfortable beds, though some note rooms can be compact.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are on the small side — At least one guest found the room tight, and the Rooms score of 7.4 is the lower end of the ratings. Fine for a city break, less ideal if you want space to spread out.
  • Fixed check-in window — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals need to plan around that.
  • No pets, no parking listed — The property does not allow pets, and no on-site parking is listed. Guests arriving by car may need to find a garage nearby.
