Useful local services for your stay

When you're staying away from home, knowing where to find the essential services makes a big difference and lets you enjoy your holiday with peace of mind. That's why we have gathered the most useful information for the guests of B&B Beni Benius Roma: pharmacies, supermarkets, public transport, taxis and, especially for those arriving by car, roadside assistance. A handy little guide to keep close at hand during your stay.

Pharmacies and healthcare

In the northern part of Rome there are several pharmacies, some with extended opening hours and night shifts. If you need one, we recommend looking for the nearest on-duty pharmacy: the rota of shifts is always displayed in the window of every pharmacy. For minor emergencies, after-hours medical services and outpatient clinics are also available. At check-in we can point you to the most convenient references relative to our location.

Supermarkets and shopping

For everyday shopping, the area offers easily reachable supermarkets and minimarkets, ideal if you want to prepare something yourself or stock up on water and snacks for your days out around the city. Those who choose the whole apartment with kitchen particularly appreciate this convenience: being able to cook means saving money and organising meals flexibly, especially when travelling as a family or with children.

Public transport and taxis

The area is served by urban buses and by the railway station, which quickly connects to the centre of Rome. For evening trips or when returning laden with luggage, the taxi remains a convenient and safe solution: we recommend booking it by phone or through the official apps of Rome's taxi service. If you prefer to get around by public transport, consider a day ticket to travel worry-free on buses, the metro and urban trains.

Roadside assistance for those arriving by car

Many of our guests reach the B&B by car, taking advantage of our free private parking. Travelling by car offers great freedom, but the unexpected can happen: a flat battery after a few days parked, a punctured tyre, a sudden breakdown. In these cases it's important to know who to turn to so as not to spoil your holiday.

For this reason we point our guests to the service of Roma Soccorso Auto, a company specialising in tow truck and roadside assistance available 24 hours a day in Rome and the surrounding province. The service covers the most common needs of those travelling by car:

• Towing and tow truck in case of breakdown or accident;
• Battery jump-start when the car won't start;
• Tyre change in case of a puncture;
• Rapid interventions, generally within 10-60 minutes of the call.

The service is available every day, including public holidays. The useful references are: telephone +39 339 338 0737, premises at Via di Casal Selce 260, 00166 Rome. Noting this contact before setting off lets you face any mishap calmly during your journey or stay. It is understood that this is an external service, independent of our property: we mention it as useful information for your safety while travelling.

Connectivity, WiFi and on-site services

During your stay you'll have free WiFi throughout the property, useful for planning your itineraries, checking transport timetables and staying in touch with home. Breakfast is always included in the rate and the rooms have air conditioning, a private bathroom and all the comforts for the best rest. For those choosing the whole apartment, the fully equipped kitchen lets you organise meals independently, a precious convenience especially for longer stays or for families.

Useful numbers to keep at hand

Before setting off, we suggest saving a few essential contacts: 112, the single emergency number, valid for medical assistance, police and fire brigade; the number of Rome's taxi service; the roadside assistance reference for those travelling by car; and, of course, our own contact details, always active for anything you may need during your stay. Having this information ready on your phone will allow you to handle any situation calmly and to focus solely on the pleasure of your holiday.

Other practical tips

• Save the emergency numbers, the taxi and roadside assistance in your contacts before arrival.
• Keep a water bottle and a few snacks for your days out.
• Check supermarket opening hours on public holidays, when they may vary.
• If in doubt, just ask us: we know the area and its services well.
