After we left, the manager called the restaurant and let them know we were on our way. They gave us a discount! The next morning we took an all day tour of Rome and then caught the evening train to Milan. The hotel stored our luggage for us! When we returned that evening to gather our luggage, we asked if we could pay to use a shower. They graciously allowed us to use one of the rooms for free. This made our night stay on the train more tolerable. The service we received at this hotel was one of the highlights of our trip."

Overall opinion. This is a summary of guests' reviews:
"The Hotel Paba in Rome and its owner Alberta "made" our trip to Rome. The hotel is in a wonderful location (easy walking distance to the Forum and the Colosseum). Although right on Via Cavour it was quiet and well-kept. Alberta made us feel right at home from our breakfast (brought to us in our room when we were ready for it) to travel advice to Rome information phone calls to always welcoming us with a friendly smile as we would return to our "home-away-from-home". Alberta speaks wonderful English and, thus, helped make our stay more comfortable. Her hotel, though just a few rooms and only 2 stars, is spacious and modern. The 2 stars evidentally come from the size of her hotel rather than any amenities. She had everything we needed and more, such as remote control computerized heat/air! Having traveled to Rome for many years, I must say that I have never seen such a great combination of location and comfort and affordability, as usually only 1 or 2 of those may be found in one hotel. I heartily recommend Alberta and her Hotel Paba on Via Cavour."
Another guest's review: "Rooms overlooking Via Cavour can be noisy. Insist on a room away from the street. Our room was the nicest of our 3-week trip, and it was quiet. The location is ideal."
"Fabulous! Very central location close to the Colosseum with extremely helpful and friendly English-fluent staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Breakfast was served in our room. Accomodations were more on the 3-star side, very clean and comfortable with all the comforts of home. Has an elevator. Would highly recommend to family and friends. Will definitely stay here again."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Paba and would return any time."
"This hotel was perfect for our vacation. The location is unbeatable! 2 blocks from the Forum and the Colisseum. Alberta was a wonderful host and very helpful. Our room was immaculate. Though smallish, it was perfect for our needs. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, and plan to stay here on our next visit to Rome."
"We stayed at Paba for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel offers great value for money and if you take the location (100 metres from the forum) into account it is just excellent. Even better was the extremely helpful owner who did not just offered a very warm welcome but also proved invaluable when it came to recommendations for restaurants. Our room was to the back and perfectly quiet. We would very much recommend Paba and hope to stay there again."
"Good quality rooms, on second floor, our 2nd visit to this hotel."

"After arriving late at night, we were shocked to find our room was actually a suite, complete with a small balcony that overlooks the Vatican. The mirrors on every square inch of surface took a little getting used to, but our stay was wonderful. Breakfast was delicious, and the view from the rooftop dining room was breathtaking. Finally, the hotel was kind enough to allow us to leave our luggage with them until our train left late in the evening. We'll be back."
"The location is good to go to the main spots on foot. The restaurant for breakfast is nice viewing of Vatican. Fortunately we could enjoy light up the view of Vatican from our room. It made ourselves relax and happy even though the tooooo hot daytime tiredness. Thanks a lot for making our trip happy."
"Golden House B&B is a subsidiary of the Atlante Star Hotel where you get to have your breakfast buffet on their top floor overlooking St Peter's."
"We were given the only room (facing front) with a double balcony. My wife and I spent every evening on that balcony facing the beautiful view of the Vatican dome. The house keeping and dining room staff were excellent. The front desk: even better!! Our stay was fantastic and we look forward to our next visit to both Rome AND the hotel. Two thumbs up!!!"
"The Golden House is an excellent place to stay. It's in an old building. The room was relatively big and very nice, very plush with antique furniture and beautiful bedspread and curtains. The bathroom is big and nice as well. It has much more of an apartment feeling, not like a bed and breakfast. The breakfast at the hotel (included) was amazing. It's in a formal dining room with an incredible view of the city and the breakfast buffet was the best we had the whole trip. HUGE. It is located just a few moments walk from St. Peters. We would definitely stay there again.
