About
Guesthouse Alex II
Guesthouse Alex II is a 61-room property on Via Palestro in the Lazio region of Rome. It is roughly a 20-minute walk from the Borghese Gallery and Museum, and reviews describe good public-transport links, with metro, bus and train stops nearby. The adults-only guesthouse keeps its offer simple: free Wi-Fi in rooms, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV and luggage storage, with no smoking or pets on site.
Guest scores are led by facilities at 8.1, with rooms and staff both at 7.6 and comfort at 7.5. Value and dining are the weakest categories at 6.9 each. Reviews tend to highlight a convenient location, comfortable beds and helpful staff, while the practical restrictions are structural: a 14:00-22:00 check-in window and a 10:00 check-out time.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — The guesthouse only accepts adults, and pets are not allowed either, so it will not suit families with children or travellers with animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 22:00, and rooms must be vacated between 04:00 and 10:00 on departure day.
- Value and dining scores trail the rest — While facilities and rooms rate well, value and dining both sit at 6.9, the lowest published categories. Breakfast mentions point to a nearby restaurant rather than an on-site dining room.
- Wi-Fi limited to rooms — The amenity list specifies free Wi-Fi in rooms, with no mention of coverage in shared spaces.
