Excellent location. As per other comments, very quirky hotel with an amazing amount of food in the room.
The phrase less is more springs to mind as there was so much much there wasn’t a lot of space to prepare the food.
If the amount was to be reduced and perhaps provide some fresh rolls/croissants, would be a nicer more practicable option.
The bed was very comfy and the shower was excellent, warm and powerful.
Lots of other extras in the bathroom such as travel toothbrush/shave kit, shower cap etc.
Really enjoyed our stay and the location was great for all the main attractions within a reasonable walking distance.
One minor point, there was no iron available whatsoever, for safety reasons however, the room had a milk frother, mini oven and a hot dog warmer. Just a personal thing, but access to an iron, even if from reception, would be a good improvement.
24hr access via a security gate into the apartment and was straight forward.
Would happily stay here again as we really enjoyed or short stay.

Let me start by saying that the Hotel Barrett staff are very nice but felt more like a revolving door of people than someone we could provide feedback to. My husband and I arrived at noon (local time) and we were told our room would be ready at 3:30. We explored and anxiously awaited our 3:30 check in as we were experiencing jet lag. The room wasn’t ready until closer to 4pm which was disappointing.

When we got to the room, the amenities were good and we were given a bottle of wine. However, the fridge in the room didn’t work (hot) which wouldn’t have been an issue it was just to keep our stuff cold but the main reason we booked the hotel was for the food and drink offerings after a long flight - the meat, cheese and cold cuts were inedible.

Additionally and most egregiously, the bathroom (with 2 steps leading to it) had no mats. As a result, I slipped down both steps after getting out of the shower. This was the first night of our honeymoon and I’ve been dealing with the consequences ever since (minor fracture in my foot, severe bruising and pain).

We only stayed one night at Hotel Barrett and while it was a nice location, we wouldn’t stay there again.

Stairs and tiny rooms

There are about 40 stairs to get up to the hotel. Then we had another 10-15 to get to the room. Way too many for the oldest of our group.
The room was super tiny, we could only walk one at a time from the bed to the bathroom. There was no space for our luggage, except under the bed.
After one night we left due to the tiny room and all the stairs.

Bizarre hotel with central location.

If you want a centrally located hotel with a bizarre interior, this is your place. My first complaint was that nowhere on there description does it say that the your need to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get into the hotel, so with 2 - bags over 50 lbs. and 2 other bags over over 30 lbs., you can see how stairs could be difficult. Once you get into what they call a lobby, all of the craziness starts and the rooms don't get any better. The pictures they show is just the beginning. And then you step into the bathroom that you feel your stepping into a capsule that send you into space and is so small where you can only raise 1 arm at a time to wash or you bang your arms/elbows into the walls.

Hotel Barret is a very convenient hotel if you’re planning on staying most of the day outside, it has good air conditioning, good WiFi and the costumer service is truly good and always provides a great service. Taking into account the Hotel provides a self made breakfast, most of the times it ends up messing the room and ends up dirty; we weren’t expecting this concept of making our own breakfast in our room.

This property is bad. It’s in a bad location. The receptionist took forever to check us in because her boss called and was yelling at her about something. No one working there was happy. No elevator.

None of it was good. The beds were “ok” but the pillows were awful and you only get 1?!? And our room AC didn’t work well. Last, I hit my head in the hallways, the ceilings were so low.

I don’t understand all the good reviews. This hotel is a horror show and should be named Hotel Bates. This hotel is horribly cluttered with dusty old antiques so you can barely navigate the lobby and only gets scarier once you manage to get to your room of which you can’t walk in. First there is no breakfast “buffet “. It is a make your own in your very cramped bedroom. You don’t even have to get out of your bed to make your breakfast. In fact that is the only way you can make your breakfast as there is only about an 8” in clearance around the bed. Of which they have some how managed to cram a massage chair and a ridiculous amount of kitchen appliances including a hot dog cooker and supplied you with hot dogs to cook in your room. Yum! The bathroom you have to squeeze in sideways to get in and shut door. Despite the pictures on their website, the bathroom is a broom closet size. The scary over the top decor with cherubs over your bed is downright creepy. The price for this monstrosity is outrageous.

This was the best stay I have ever had. The hotel is in a perfect location, walkable to all sites in Rome, longest walk was about 31 minutes to the Vatican. The foot and body massager were a welcomed amenity after long days walking. The food available in the room daily was perfect for breakfast and snacking throughout the day, and it was restocked daily. The staff and everyone working here is so nice and helpful, they helped us with planning out what we should see. The bathrooms were very clean and was cleaned daily. We also got a nice cake on arrival and pasta on our leaving. I would 10/10 stay here again and would recommend this place to all my friends and family visiting Rome.

If you like hotel chains with bell staff, gyms and on property restaurants/bars, this place isn't for you. But if you like a place that has character and is a little quirky, like I do, you'll love this place. Yes, you have to walk up some stairs, and yes, the room isn't very big (which is true of most places in Europe), but I have never stayed in a place with more in-room amenities. A chair massager? A foot bath? A hot dog roaster? And I can honestly say that the free mini bar had more food in it than my refrigerator at home. The location is extremely central - all the major sites are walkable - but it was still very quiet at night. The decor is fun and unique. I would definitely stay here again.

This was, unfortunately, the only hotel stay of our trip (stayed at 9 different locations total) that we didn’t like!

Positives: The main positive feature was that the owner is very nice and friendly. The decor is somewhat tacky, but could appeal to some as it is unique. The location was great! It’s right by “Largo do Torre Argentina”.

In-room Amenities: The hotel really tries to win you over with in-room amenities, but the room is very cluttered and you wouldn’t use most of these add-ons. For instance, there is a hot dog cooker, regular toaster, and other kitchen gadgets, but they refused to provide a clothing iron because of safety concerns? There are many bigger fire hazards in the room as is that were less useful.

Breakfast: The fridge and shelves are stocked with food, but we didn’t try any as they were all highly processed and we thought it was strange to eat refrigerated foods previous guests had access to.

Cleanliness: The room did not feel clean, especially the shower. The jacuzzi shower was covered in black mold in all corners. Also, all the surplus decor and add ons made the room feel dusty. It’d be impossible to wipe everything down between guests.

“Deluxe” Bedding: My biggest complaint was the bed/bedding. The mattress was very stiff/uncomfortable, and the bedding felt so cheap! It looked like one-time use hospital bedding. Also, whatever detergent they use to wash it was overly fragrant.
Again, we stayed at 9 hotels during our trip, and this was the o

First, I would stay here again. The property is perfectly located for all of the main attractions in Rome. It's proximity to shopping and dining is excellent too. And although we did not take advantage of the bus transportation, it is directly in front of the hotel. There are a few things that I think you need to know and I freely admit these are probably American things. The rooms are already small and they cram a ton of \"extras\" into the room like foot therapy items and massaging chairs, etc that are maybe nice, but not the most efficient use of an already very small space. The heat & air units are combined with other rooms and if both rooms are not on the same setting (i.e. cool) they will not work. I had to call the desk twice to get our units synced up so ours would work. Also, the staff turns the AC off during the day when they clean the room. We were there in April, so it wasn't too bad, but if they do that in the summer it would be a problem. The hotel is up three long flights of stairs. I failed to confirm in the details if they had an elevator, so I take blame in that. But, with a tricky knee and after walking for 8 hours a day coming home to three tough flights of stairs was, well tough. The hotel overall is so unique and the decorations are really neat. Like I said, I would stay again, I would just be better prepared for those things I mentioned above.

This hotel has more character than any hotel I have stayed at, with its unique and charming decor very appropriate for historic Rome. The staff was attentive and accommodating in a personal way that felt more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. We were even greeted with a complementary bottle of Prosecco at check-in. The location was ideal - walking distance to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Campo di Fiori, Pantheon as well as many other sites. Our room even overlooked an active archaeological restoration site – very cool.

We stayed 4 days at Hotel Barrett. The hotel is very eccentric in a good way. We found the location to be very good and did not have trouble getting to various locations in Rome. One of the things that set this hotel apart from others is an adorable woman named Aneta who works at the front desk.

Over the top for us…way too much everywhere from the decor, which we expected but was much tighter and hard to navigate through, to the extras in the room. Tons of snacks perhaps in Rome this is expected but it felt like it was all a waste and perhaps they had been there was too long? The pastries at least, the water and beer and complimentary bottle of sparkling wine was kind but overall just too much when visiting a city and going out for dinner. The room would have a lot more space if less decor and foot soakers and foot and chair massaging things weren’t everywhere. Everything was plastic wrapped so if you like one use items it’s great I suppose. The host was very kind, spoke very fast and had a lot of information in what seemed a skit to state as fast as possible in English. Even when showing how things worked and everything available in the room…there are multiple flights of stairs (it’s Rome) so be ready for that of course. You need to leave the key with the desk every time you leave which we found a bit strange but it was fine I guess. The location though was really great. So that was awesome.

DEFINITELY looking forward to staying at Hotel Barrett next time we are in Rome!

This hotel and the staff go out of there way for you. The hotel is decorated in a style of the ancient rome. The location is an easy 10 to 20 min walk to most of the sites.

I took my partner to Rome for a birthday treat. The hotel was really lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is a 5 minute walk from the Pantheon and there is a taxi rank at the end of the road. The hotel was very clean and there was a lot of choice for breakfast and snacks in the room, all of which are inclusive in the price. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others for a beautiful hotel in a central location. My only issue is that there are a lot of stairs to climb to get to reception and to your room, there is no lift available either. It is worth considering this if you are of limited mobility. This is not a criticism of the staff or venue, I understand it is an old building. Overall I liked the hotel and would stay again if I was more mobile.

I thought this hotel was in the prefect area for exploring Rome, and was close to everything! All the staff were so nice as well.

An ideal hotel experience, bar none.

Not only was I treated to a perpetually restocked mini-bar of snacks and drinks, but upon hearing that I was in town for a friend's wedding, the man behind the front desk brought up a bottle of wine and a box of cookies to celebrate. And this was after we struggled through a slightly awkward tour of the room, given our language barrier.

The room itself was very comfortable, its placement right across the street from the location of Caesar's assassination made looking out the window a trip in and of itself. The window was a bit stubborn to close back up, but that is me struggling my hardest to come up with a nitpick. The stay was as close to perfection as it could get without things getting suspicious.

The lobby is so stuffed with beautiful artifacts and accouterment you feel visually spoiled in all directions. Its location is ideal for wandering Rome, and all staff was enormously friendly.

If only all of my hotel stays could be half as good as this one was. I will cherish the memories made here for the rest of my life.

Pros would be the great location; friendly, helpful staff; abundance of snacks and drinks that were complimentary every day and stocked in your room; bottle of wine upon arrival; tons of charm and character. The cons were primarily the bathroom. The bidet was right in front of the toilet, so your knees hit it. The shower was so small that it frustrated me, banging my elbows on the shelf and sides when I raised my arms to wash my hair. The room was small and a bit cluttered, but there was room under the bed to store suitcases. No chest of drawers or dresser but there was a wardrobe to hang your clothes. I would stay again as the pros far outweigh the cons.

The staff were very helpful and friendly
Offered many sites to must-see visit
The breakfast basket and fridge had abundant of good stuff and its free, so enough to have midnight snacks too. The location is very convenient to restaurants few blocks away.

Our 5 day stay was lovely. The lobby and rooms were made a bit snug by the abundance of decorative furnishings but I appreciate what the owners are trying to acheive. Bravo!

Hotel Barrett is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The check in process was incredibly welcoming, in-depth, and informative. The interiors were thoughtfully curated and respectful of the historic nature of the building. The welcome package included details on the building’s history and the extensive list of local restaurant recommendations. Of all the many thoughtful amenities, the best were the massage chair and foot massager - exactly what we needed after days touring the city.

The location is second to none! Right in the heart of Rome, we walked to all major sights, the rooms are clean and spacious, too many perks to talk about! Well stocked refrigerator in the room all free, great staff, helpful and kind, we have found our permanent hotel in Rome! No need to stay anywhere else!

We love it. My kids was super happy in the room. And the location is perfect closer to everything. We walk through the neighborhood and is restaurant every where, close to Termini and buses stop in front. The staff was very friendly and help us at lot with the information. Room service was great. And I was scared that hotel smell bad but not at all. I just want to say Thank you. I wish to remember everyone’s name but sorry I totally forgot.

Location can’t be better if you plan to use buses. The main road for crossing the city is right downstairs so many bus lines right there; yet the noise doesn’t get to the room thanks to the noise canceling window. The view directly at the ruins is so Rome! And the stopping by to watch cat wandering in the ruins is such a lovely thing. Hotel is very well appointed and great hospitality. Free drinks in the refrigerator was such a nice touch too-saved a lot of thirsty moments:)

The hotel is in a great location. Albert and Richard were very helpful. The price was good. The rooms are small but after a whole day walking outside all you need is a clean room and a hot shower
Will choose it again!

Quirky hotel with the best service.

My favorite things about the hotel: the check-in process and the concierge was amazing. I did not get his name but he was super enthusiastic and helpful. He gave a very thorough and entertaining overview of the room and gave us very helpful handouts on places to visit by neighborhood and lists of local restaurants that they recommend (I found to be much better than google's recommendations). I also loved the room view of the Largo di Argentina site. Highly recommend the city view room! Airconditioning and insulated windows were great. Was very quiet despite being on a busy street. I also really enjoyed the welcome sparkling wine and the in-room minibar that was free and full of goodies (prosecco, beer, tomatoes, ham, etc)

As other reviews have mentioned, this is indeed a quirky hotel: the lobby is packed with stuff, some may consider clutter, but it did not bother me. The rooms were small, and I think they went overboard with the extras - the room has a massage chair, hotdog heating machine, foot spa, foot massager, etc. Interesting, but not neccessary in the room considering the small size. I think it may work better to remove these things and mention that they can be brought into the room upon request.
