The very kind manager waited for us upon arrival, taking care of the luggage and reserving a parking spot for us (difficult to find nearby). The room, inside a somewhat dated building, was sufficiently clean but really too small for 3 adults! Breakfast was not included in our reservation, but there was still the possibility to make a coffee and heat the milk in the microwave. I would remove the toast and the cookies that expire in 2024!

The review can only be positive thanks (and above all) to its managers, who with great competence and kindness, directed us to the beauties to visit and also where to eat to avoid any negative experiences. We have promised ourselves to return as soon as possible to visit everything else!

Great for visiting Tivoli, Villa d'Este, and Villa Gregoriana. The latter, which is the one we wanted to visit, is about 300 meters away. The entire center is within walking distance. Moreover, the owner collaborates with Villa Gregoriana, so we couldn't ask for more precise directions and a more suitable location. We were not aware of this collaboration. The value for money is excellent. The building looks a bit ugly externally but is well renovated inside. The trains cannot be heard.

The welcome from Mrs. Giovanna makes you feel immediately at ease. She recommended both the most interesting places to visit and a great typical restaurant! The studio apartment is equipped with everything you need, including a washing machine, microwave, oven, and refrigerator. Although there is no parking on site, you can park in the very close station parking, which is free. The location is very good, a 5/10 minute walk to the center, and the train station is nearby so you can reach Rome by train without using a car.

Convenient location close to the historic center, a bit noisy not because of the trains but due to a quite busy road. Window with new fixtures to contain the noise but rather warm inside and air conditioner not very cooling. New studio, overall good. Kind and helpful owners. Breakfast not included but snacks and coffee available.

The structure is located in a strategically very convenient area for moving, it is a stone's throw from the train station and in a few minutes on foot you reach the center, very close to Villa Gregoriana and Villa D'Este park. Very kind and hospitable managers.

Equipped and clean room, although inserted in a slightly dated structure. Good location, close to the station and a short walk from the center. The managers are very kind and helpful. Alessandro provided us with all kinds of information about the area and allowed us to check in early. Good and plentiful breakfast with fresh donuts.

The super welcome from Alessandro and the hospitality made us feel almost like his relatives. The owner loves what he does and knows how to take care of his customers, advising and guiding them to make the stay a true travel experience. We enjoyed all the comforts, free parking 100 meters away. The location is close to the station, easily reachable by car, and the center is easily reached on foot in 6/8 minutes passing through the most beautiful part of Tivoli. The rooms are renovated and equipped with all comforts: very comfortable beds, a breakfast full of everything (a sea of stuff); homemade donuts and jam, Italian fruit. It's a real pleasure for the quality of the products and for the atmosphere in which it takes place, background music, attention to detail where breakfast is served, it's the top. I recommend it 1000 times over.

I read negative reviews about the fact that there are stairs. They really aren't so many to complain about! The service is good. Alessandro's service was excellent, the room is simple and well-furnished. It should be noted that the property is close to the train station, but there is not much noise anyway. Moreover, it's easy to reach the B&B. I will return.

Hello! I stayed at this excellent Bed and Breakfast for just (and unfortunately) one night, for a brief trip. The property is perfectly managed with kindness, availability, and pleasant cordiality, the environment reserved for me turned out to be a real little gem, all the amenities at hand with the addition of independence and a very short distance from the historic center and especially the train station, for those, like me, traveling by rail. Highly recommended. I send warm greetings to Alessandro who assisted me, and to Giovanna, whom I did not meet directly, but the compliments for her exquisite chocolate cake are deserved. Thank you very much for everything and, surely, until next time!

The breakfast is fabulous, the property is tastefully decorated, and the wifi network works perfectly. Frankly, I recommend Il Vecchio Treno to all those who want to go to Tivoli.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights, we stayed in the apartment. Alessandro was very kind, he gave us all the useful information for our vacation, he recommended where to eat and even booked a dinner for my birthday. Clean and well-furnished apartment, good breakfast: the only flaw is the really annoying noise from the street that can be heard even with the windows closed.\n\nApart from that, we recommend it to everyone!
