| We found Laocoonte to be excellent. The B&B was located just blocks from the Vatican and close to the Metro stations. The neighbourhood was safe and provided many options for dining and site-seeing. Our hosts were excellent, available and very welcoming. Breakfast is served in your room and was great, especially the coffee! We would recommend this B&B for a perfect home-base in Rome. |

| Ryanair diverted at the last moment to Rome's main airport. Giordano was able to divert the arranged pick up to divert and bring us swiftly to our apartment where despite it being almost 1 in the morning our host was there in the street ready to greet us and settle us in. Room was spotless facilities excellent- location superb.Hiromi served us superb coffeee and breakfast for 5 days with unfailing courtesy. We were in receipt of sad news on the last day of our visit and unable to get a flight home spent quite some time back at our room and were treated with great kindness.We had to leave the vatican tour just as it started and on returning to our room Giordano insisted on returning our deposit for the tour which he had taken from us the day before. I very much doubt if he got any money back from the tour operator. He also re arranged an early morning transport to the airport. The tranfer charge is €40 and given that late at night the official taxis at Rome airport wanted €75 it is superb value.In summary - great location - more than adequate very clean rooms - run by a hard working and lovely couple.Right next to Cipro station and within easy walking distance of everything. Don't think of staying aywhere else! |

| Very nice, clean, tasteful rooms, modern. The only downside was the room was very small. It was tricky to find--inside an older apartment complex building with a courtyard full of trees in the center. (Not uncommon to find a hotel thus situated in Italy.) After entering the main doors, make a left and it is the first door you see. Close to both the metro and the Vatican. We ate at Piacere Molise on Via Candia, as recommended by an earlier review by Nicola, and it was a lovely meal for an honest price. |

| My husband and I spent 5 nights at the Bed & Breakfast Laocoonte during April 08. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the location of the B&B could not have been better. I would recommend this B&B to everyone going to Rome because of it's excellent location, room quality, and service provided. Thank you very much :) |

| I absolutely loved the LaoCoonte. Giordano and Hiromi impressed me with their outstanding services. They went with me to the rental car agency to help me return my car since I had no clue where the rental car return was. The early morning breakfast is served in the room and it was fine by me since I had to leave early mornings for my museum reservations. The breakfast was delicious, especially the hot chocolate. This was a two week vacation and I stayed at the Laocoonte for 4 days. The room was very warm in the peak winter unlike other BnB's I had stayed in. The prvate bathroom had all the modern facilites and was very nice and clean. LaoCoonte is extremely close to the Vatican museum, st. Peters Square, train station etc. If you want cheap and good food close by then check out Pronto Pizza which has very good Pizzas and meditterranean food. It made our stay there all the better since we could also bring the food back to our room. Giordano and Hirommi speak English really well so communication was not a problem at all. They know their way around so directions, museums, restaurants information from them came in very handy. I would stay at this place again if I am visiting Rome again. |

| Stayed here for 4 nights at the recommendation of a friend.Rooms are totally clean,bed was large,rooms cleaned every day and fresh towels provided.Breakfast served in the room every morning (tea/coffee,croissants,sweet cakes).Mini fridge with water,beer,juice at a small cost.Staff extremely friendly and courteous.Provide recommendations on local restaurants.The best we found was Piacere Molise on Via Candia,about 3 minutes walk away.Provide shuttle service for 45 Euro to Ciampino airport,reliable service,better than a taxi.Very close to the Vatican & St. Peters.Safe & secure surroundings except for the Roman drivers but that's the same all over town!Excellent value for money and would stay there again.Only downside was small shower but at least it was clean,powerful & hot! |

| Uno dei migliori B&B in cui ho alloggiato. La camera era molto silenziosa e pulita. Il servizio ottimo e la vicinanza con il centro e i musei vaticani ci ha permesso di passeggiare tranquillamente per la città senza dipendere continuamente dai mezzi pubblici. |

| Very nice B&B in a town house around the corner of the Vatican (must have been a regular flat before). I was there for a short stay in Rome and found it excellent as a basis to explore the city. Everybody was very nice and helpful, and the price is somewhat low - for Rome. No public areas, so what?! I would definitely come back! |

| Laocoonte is fabulous! We had an excellent stay. The owners/staff were gracious hosts. Provided maps, tips, etc to help us navigate the city. Breakfast was quick and served to our room. The rooms were very clean and tastefully interiored. The location was perfect for exploring Rome as it was very near the Vatican and an easy Metro or Bus away from the other areas. The neighborhood was safe and friendly even in the evening. |

| Bellissimo B&B nella zona più suggestiva di Roma. Servizio Impeccabile. La contitolare che ci ha accolti il primo giorno è stata molto carina e gentile, e ci ha dato un sacco d'informazioni utili sugli orari dei principali monumenti. Struttura nuova con pulizia generale di alto livello. Comodo da raggiungere via metrò. A pochi passi dalla fermata. Abbiamo pernottato in due coppie per una sola notte. Purtroppo! Perchè ci saremmo fermati ancora un pò in questa struttura così accogliente. Io sono di Venezia ma qui mi sono sentito come a casa e ci ritornerò senz'altro. |

| We stayed in Laocoonte for 5 days. The service (the breakfast was fantastic and served at room) and the staff (Giordano and Hiromi) was excellent and our next stay in Rome will be in Laocoonte for sure. The B&B is very nice and situated between the two Metro-stations,Cipro and Ottaviano.Easy to find. Take the metro, Linea A, you are in 10 min to downtown (piazza spagna) for shopping. About 5-6 minutes walk to the Vatican Museum and some minutes more to the church of St Peter. |

| Giordano and Hiromi are gracious hosts. The room was clean and comfortable, albeit small. Great location, in a quiet neighborhood, with easy access to metro and bus lines and especially convenient to St. Peters and Vatican Museums. Overall, good value for the price. |

| The only bad thing was the fact that one of the guests of an adjacent room arrived around 1am and kept on buzzing in for some good 5 minutes, rather than that the stay was excellent and the breakfast was fantastic. Very nice and competent hosts. Would definitely go back and recommend it to other people. Spacious, clean and new rooms. |
