About

Friendship Palace - Rome

Friendship Palace is a small guest house on Via Milazzo, an 8-room property set a short walk from Rome’s main train station. The location puts you close to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and within easy reach of the Colosseum, about a 10-minute ride away.

The building is practical rather than fancy: there’s a barber shop and luggage storage on site, plus a lounge/TV room. Rooms come with air conditioning, central heating, and private bathrooms, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.

  • No smoking on site
  • Free Wi-Fi in public areas
  • Safe deposit box
  • Express check-in/ -out

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Wi-Fi can be unreliable — While free Wi-Fi is advertised in public areas, one guest described it as extremely weak, and another noted it was only 'sort of' available.
  • Modest service scores — Guest ratings for service and value are on the lower side compared to the overall rating, suggesting some inconsistency.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be limiting for some travelers.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need public parking nearby.
