How to reach the B&B Little Italy Hostel in Rome
The Bed and Breakfast Little Italy in Rome is located in the center of the Eternal City, between the main railway station Rome Termini and the Fiumicino Airport Terminal and the area with the archeological sites of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. It takes no more than 10 minutes to walk to the B&B from Rome Termini. You can also take a 2 minute metro ride and then a 2 minute walk.
From Rome Termini Station to B&B Little Italy Hostel in Rome

You should have a park (piazza Vittorio Emanuele) in front of you. Turn right and take the second street on your left. This is the Via Ferruccio. You will find the Little Italy Bed and Breakfast on your left, just past the big SPORT sign. Look for the building number 30 and buzz either apartment number 27 or 30. Inside the building take the lift to floor 4.
You can also take the metro: buy a ticket (1€) at a tobacconist or newspaper stand and take line A (1 stop) to Vittorio Emanuele. Find the Via Buonarroti-exit and turn right and then left into Via Buonarroti itself when you come up. The first street on your left is Via Ferruccio.

From Fiumicino Airport to the Rome B&B Little Italy Hostel
Cheaper than taking a taxi (and during rush hour likely to also be faster than taking a taxi) is to take the Leonardo Express, a non-stop train from Fiumicino to the Rome Airport Terminal. The price is €11 and the ticket can be bought, apart from at the regular ticket windows, also from newspaper stands and tobacco shops in the airport and the railway station. The train comes in at platform 24. Walk all the way along this platform till you come to the main hallway and turn left towards the Via Giolitti exit. Follow the directions from Rome Termini to the Bed & Breakfast Little Italy.
From Rome Airport Ciampino to the B&B Little Italy Hostel
- Take a COTRAL bus (1,20 Euros, the ticket can be bought from the driver) to Rome Anagnina and from there a metro (line A) to Vittorio Emanuele (1 Euro, but the ticket needs to be bought at a tobacconist or newspaper stand). Look for the Via Buonarroti-exit. When you come up you turn right and then left into Via Buonarroti. Via Ferruccio is the first street you cross. Turn left for the Little Italy Bed and Breakfast Rome.
- Take one of several coaches bringing you directly to Rome Termini (Via Marsala, on the other side of the station, seen from the Little Italy Hostel). Sterling have their own bus. RyanAir has an agreement with the most expensive company (Terravision) and tries to sell you tickets while you are still on the plane and even as early as in some of the departure airports. The Terravision buses attempt to connect to the incoming flights, which would sound good, if not for the fact that they generally do not drive off before being completely full, so you still have to wait. The SIT and COTRAL buses are cheaper and have fixed departure times, but are not always available when your plane lands.
- Take a train from Ciampino Airport to the city of Ciampino and from there a train to Rome Termini. Then follow the directions from Termini to get to the hostel Little Italy Bed & Breakfast.
By taxi from the airports to the Rome B&B Little Italy
As of October 1st, 2006 the rates from the two airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino, ought to be fixed.
The official rate from Ciampino Airport, where most of the budget airlines (RyanAir, Sterling, EasyJet) land, to anywhere in the center of Rome (and both the B&B Little Italy Rome and the Hostel Chaplin Bed and Breakfast are definitely in the centre of Rome) is 30 Euros.
The official rate from Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci Airport) to the center of Rome and the B&B Little Italy Hostel is 40 Euros, but at the moment there is a slight, typical Italian, problem. Taxi drivers based in Rome have to apply the 40€ standard rate, but taxi drivers based in Fiumicino, the small town by the airport itself, are not subject to this, essentially Roman, law and charge as much as 60 Euros. Make sure, therefore, to ask for the price before entering the taxi to the centre of
