About
Max House
Max House is a small bed & breakfast on Via Tiburtina in Rome’s San Lorenzo district, around 15 km from Ciampino airport and roughly a 25-minute walk from Palatine Hill. The hotel lists three room types – Double or Twin, Double Room Private Bathroom, and Double – plus Wi-Fi, parking, a TV lounge and a paid airport shuttle.
Guests describe a welcoming owner, clean rooms and honest value. Several mention a kitchen area with complimentary snacks and drinks, and breakfast taken at a nearby bar. It suits travellers who want a straightforward base near Termini rather than a full-service hotel.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Welcoming, highly rated hosts — Guests repeatedly mention owner Alessia going out of her way, from waiting for late arrivals to giving local transport tips. The staff score of 9.3 is the strongest category in the ratings.
- Well-equipped rooms for the price — Rooms come with practical extras such as a microwave, fridge, kettle and coffee-making kit, plus flat-screen TVs. The facilities score of 10 stands out for a property in this price range.
- Practical location near Termini — Max House sits in San Lorenzo, close to Termini station, a bus stop and a metro station, making central Rome easy to reach. Supermarkets, restaurants and gelaterias are within walking distance.
- Strong value — Rates from £34, an 8.2 value score and several reviews that call the price a great deal for Rome, especially for solo travellers.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Some rooms share a bathroom — Only the Double Room Private Bathroom is explicitly listed with its own facilities. Reviews mention shared bathrooms, and Comfort is the lowest rating at 7.9.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 13:30 to 22:00. The owner is described as accommodating for late arrivals, but it's worth confirming arrival times in advance.
- Breakfast happens at a nearby bar — Guests describe an included breakfast of coffee and pastry at a local bar rather than a hotel breakfast room. Fine for a quick start, but not an on-site spread.

8.4Verified guest“An easy choice for Ciampino, about 25 minutes away by car. The room was cheap and neat, with a private bathroom, and the staff were extremely friendly.”
8.4Verified guest“Good value, with well-proportioned rooms, comfortable beds and a microwave, fridge and coffee/tea kit. The view over the city from the window was a pleasant extra.”
8.4Verified guest“A solid deal. The room was great value and the bathroom was spotless, with hairdryers, a bidet and robes. The location near a bus stop into town was ideal, and Bar Brasilia is close by for tea or coffee.”
8.4Verified guest“Really liked having a private bathroom in the room. It also came with a microwave, coffee and tea makers and a fridge.”
8.4Verified guest“Excellent value for money, with clean rooms and comfortable amenities. The kitchen was well equipped with a kettle and microwave for self-catering, and the location put supermarkets, restaurants and gelaterias close by. The owner, Alessia, was friendly and went above and beyond, and breakfast at a nearby bar was more convenient than the usual B&B set-up.”
8.4Verified guest“The air-conditioned double room was fantastic – flat-screen TV with cable channels, a coffee maker and a cosy seating area. The city views were stunning; it felt like a much more luxurious stay than the price suggested.”
