Nice,well situated
Sara
thank you
Alan
Great hotel and location.
William
The hotel was clean and had excellent air conditioning. It was located in a wonderful neighborhood.
Mike
The location is great and the staff were helpful . There were a few things with the room that needed sorted when we arrived (no light in bathroom, a bedside light was hanging off the wall, potentially dangerous and not working). The main negative point was the WiFi - it was poor, and didn’t work more often than it worked.
Michael
It was a nice clean place and a good location.
John
It was very much centrally located and pristine.
Josephine
Very handy location, clean and comfortable room in a charming old building. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Matteo was wonderful!
Tara
Upon arrival we were greeted by an excellent concierge who helped us plan our entire stay. He offered a map as well as places that we needed to stop, and they also offered a battery chargers which are highly important. I appreciated everything they had to offer, the room was impeccable, I have zero complaints.
Julie

Joselito
Everything is good except no slippers provided
Sandra
Very good place to stay.
Harold
Good location, decent size room, clean, nightly rate somewhat expensive, did provide good recommendations for local eating establishments. Main reason for less than ideal rating is after leaving, hotel charged our credit card extra fee of $10 Euros for not leaving room card for them to reuse. Rental contract did NOT state this was required nor did it state this fee would be charged if card was not left. In Canada we are encouraged to keep the room card for disposable as it contains our personal information. Contract did state $10 fee for room card replacement if lost during stay as they would need to issue a second card. No such directive was provided to return card after stay. This includes time prior to check in, during check in or throughout the stay. The day before checkout, hotel messaged us for our time of checkout which was 7:30am. No mention was made at that time by hotel to leave card or about an extra fee being charged if we didn't and that there would be a fee. Limited hotel onsite staff hours (8:30 am to 5:00pm). Reached out to hotel afterwards to question how they can charge fee without advising of such and gave them the opportunity to reverse charge and make it right but they would not unless we returned room card to Rome by mail from our home in Canada. Weak response as additional costs and time for us when it was not our problem to fix and still no guaranteed they would refund upon receipt. Be careful about room contract conditions with this hotel.
Gary
Clean and proximity to major sites.
Jessica
We loved the communication, before and during our stay. The location is perfect, if you’re a walker everything is reachable from here. The room was clean, comfortable and perfect for sleeping. Will stay again when I’m back in Rome.
Nancy
Great location! Close to the Vatican and Campo di Fiori.
Leah

Maria
Our stay was perfect. Matthew was very helpful. Easy check-in and checkout.
Area was centrally located to all the sites. We walked to restaurants. Bar Cafe right outside our door. Perfect for a quick snack. Rooms are clean with all the amenities. Thank you Palazzo Madusa

Maureen
Easy location, clean property, and helpful staff. Would have loved a coffee maker but took advantage of the cafe down on the corner.
Mike
Great location.
Nilesh
Great location for local attractions. Unpleasant smell during the whole stay. I had to keep the windows open and the bathroom exhaust on the whole time to be bearable. Rest was great
Michelle
Great location for walking to all of the major landmarks in the area. Room had everything we needed, staff was friendly and accomodating.
Bruce
Stayed for one night and enjoyed being in the heart of Rome. We walked the Vatican in about 15 minutes. Room was typically small, but very clean. Gal who checked us in was helpful and suggested a good area to go for supper.
Nicolas
Great room in a really good location.
Aleksandr
The staff was so helpful and made us feel at home!

The location was great the room was clean but had a bit of a sewer gas smell. Staff was very helpful.
Luigi
Palazzo Medusa is a fantastic place to stay.The room was very spacious, clean and safe. The neighborhood is awesome, very close to every major attraction and restaurants. We walked everywhere within 15-30 minutes and there are plenty of places to eat withing five minutes. The building is on a little side alley, so it's quiet and easy to get to. There is a parking garage just 4 blocks away, a 3 minute walk. The hotel is i a restricted driving area, but the garage is not, so you cannot drive to the front door with a rental car, but that didn't matter. A must stay, I will definitely stay there again.
Simrat
Central location, clean rooms and fast, friendly service from the concierge.
Sadia-Himalaya
The location was difficult to find, and the reception desk was not easily accessible. I rang the doorbell repeatedly with no response and eventually sent a message through Expedia to cancel the room. Only a minute after sending the message did someone finally open the door. I was then told that reception is only available for a few hours in the morning. Additionally, there is no reliable phone or internet reception inside the hotel, you would have to rely on WiFi to make the phone calls.
Steven
We enjoyed our stay here. Staff was very helpful and room was comfortable and clean. Location was wonderful with coffee shops, restaurants and grocery store within a short walk. We would definitely book here again.
James
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, spotless room - I highly recommend!!!
Wendy

Bella
Super stay, excellent host! Many thanks!
Nubia
Everything in this hotel was perfect. The staff was always nice and they have really good communication.
Nathaniel
Very clean, great location, terrific staff.
Robert
The location was excellent for seeing all the sights around the center of Rome. It was a 10 minute walk to the Vatican and 20 minutes to the Forum area. There are numerous restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes.
The rooms and bathrooms are a bit basic but of good size. The bed was comfortable. The facility is not staffed all day, so you are pretty much on your own. The streets are very noisy all night, but if you close the windows and turn on the AC you won’t hear much.
I didn’t give the hotel 5 stars because for me that is reserved for exceptional facilities, but I would stay here again if I returned.

Perfect location to see Roma. The staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. Clean room, nice view, quiet area that is adjacent to everything you want to see. Easily get around Roma from here.

Great location on a quiet street within easy walking distance of great bars, restaurants and places to visit. Clean rooms with great decor.
Ianina Z
Wonderful property and location. Attentive personnel. Spacious and super clean. Thank you!
Mary
We had a very nice week at Palazzo Medusa. The room was very clean, and staff especially Valentina, were very helpful with prompt responses to our needs. The hotel is centrally located to many local attractions, and we were able to walk to most places easily.
Carol
The staff at Palazzo Medusa is very nice and accommodating. Our solo night stay was very comfortable.
Robert
Awesome place to stay!
Matthew
Nice hotel
Had a 1 night stay. Room was nice and comfortable. The lady that seems to be in charge was nice and welcoming. She text my friend who also had a room and kept in contact about an arrival time and helped us with directions on getting to the hotel. Very nice place and nice lady to help out
Verified traveler
Great location
This was a great place centrally located - we were able to walk everywhere. The room was nice. Our only complaint was the lack of a coffee maker. Only instant coffee with a kettle was provided.
Angela
The front desk was so incredibly helpful. Before the trip she answered all my questions and helped to arrange transport from the airport and then to the port for our cruise. I was very thankful for the help leading up to our trip particularly.
Kathleen
Very quaint. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff.
Monika
Very clean property, quiet, great ac, newly renovated in a secure building and walking distance everywhere. The property manager is available 8:30 until noon and is able to answer all questions in English. Wonderful stay. Thank you
Elizabeth
Great place to stay. I’m a solo traveler and it was a great room for 1 person and it was in walking distance to a lot of places. I would totally recommend.
Katherine
This hotel was great - nice and close to everything. The staff communication was friendly and helpful, making check in and check out simple and easy.
MAGALI
First and most important was the care and help from Matteo. He was most courteous in waiting for our late arrival. So helpful with providing a map and suggestions of what to see. And so kind in keeping our luggage safe while we did some more sightseeing after our check out. Bus is nearby which is a plus...We got to our cruiseport from the hotel for less than $15 US dollars for 2 people.
The hotel itself displays culture and has charm which is what I look for when visiting another country. I would return and stay at this hotel in a heartbeat.

The location of this hotel is perfect. It’s close to everything, but tucked back on a little alley. Matteo was very hospitable and went out of his way to accommodate us.

Rowena

Jason
Beautiful building and room. Great location as everthing was no more than 30mins away.
Philip
Good central city location. Comfortable bed. Helpful polite staff. Let down by some basic stuff, like not being able to use shower due to blocked drain and poorly lit room with dirty floor rugs. Dissapointing.
kenneth
Friendly and caring staff. Comfortable room. Location to attractions especially the Vatican and Tiber River makes this a great choice. Entrance a little tricky. Cafe at the corner has American breakfast, great lunch and “go figure” tasty pastries.
Samantha
Quiet street close to everything!
Our stay at Palazzo Medusa was perfect! It was so close to everything, but somehow the street was still very quiet. Their restaurant and bar recommendations were excellent we tried almost all of them! Room was a great size with good AC. We’d happily stay again.
Randy
This little hotel is quiet. Well appointed, big comfy beds and modern amenities. The staff always beyond accommodating and very professional. I give a high recommendation you stay here. Pastries and coffee within 30 ft haha
Lynn
I very much enjoyed my stay at Palazzo Medusa and would definitely stay there again. I loved the location as it was less touristy and centrally located for easy walking to all areas of interest. Great cafés near by as well. The staff were very accommodating and very helpful.
Linda
I was welcomed at a different time to my agreed time because if a delayed flight. I messaged changes and was no problem.
Easy walking to something for dinner and in the morning to transport.
Looking forward to returning

Awesome place to stay! Walkable
to everything, lots of dining options near by. All the history of Rome is just down the street. As for the hotel, it was clean and perfect. The staff was awesome and friendly, room was clean and had all the amenities needed. The area was quiet (for Rome standards), I didn’t have a car so can’t comment on parking. Otherwise near the main streets, easy to call a cab or walkable to the train. I’d recommend this hotel and I’d stay here again. Cheers

Amazing and friendly staff , I'll return back in my next visit for sure.
Cynthia
I absolutely love this place the stay was amazing. The only thing was the water in the shower wouldn’t go away fast I had to pause in between so I can let the water go away before turning it on. You can hear between walls sometimes specially at night and in the morning when people would come in and out.i will be back I’ll bring my white noise next time. Very safe neighborhood more quiet than other which is a plus.
Pam
Nice place. Shower drain was very slow. Said the trevi fountain was an 8 minute walk but was about twenty minutes and we walk fast.
Melanie
Beautiful building. Wonderful staff. Location was perfect for walking to most tourist attractions. Near two great coffees shops for early morning cappuccinos.
Matthew
Overall a good choice.
Pros: Air Conditioning, a lot of hotels don't have it and even in February was nice to have.
Staff: Very friendly, when using Concierge through Whatsapp they responded right away. Was afraid without staff on premise how quickly they would assits, but never an issue with the Concierge service they have with Whatsapp.
Quiet area right off an Alley.
Very good location, walkable to Vatican, food, and Hop on Hop off bus stop a few blocks away.
Cons:
Shower was small and didn't drain right.
Front steps went right into Alley and cars/scooters come down alley so had to be careful when stepping out of hotel.
Overall a good choice as comfort and location were the most important to us and that A/C was a blessing.

Jan
We had an appointment to check in at 4:30pm. At 4:30pm, the door was locked. I rang the bell three times and no one answered. I stood in the cold rain outside the door and no one was there at the agreed upon appointed time.
Denise
We enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Medusa. The staff were very attentive. We were locked out of our room one evening and someone came quickly to assist us. We were able to walk easily to all of the places we wanted to see. Lots of restaurants and shops close by.
Bonnie
The hotel has a very nice design. The staff was very kind and more than willing to help us out. They offered transportation to and from the hotel, but with a fee. We did not use that service instead we used the bus transportation system by getting a 48-hour bus ticket which allowed us to use the buses wherever we want in those 48 hours. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Medusa.
Manuel
Great place to stay in Rome, everything is walking distance or bike ride. You feel like you are entering your own room in your apartment. Would stay here again.
William
Very kind and welcoming staff. Great communication through WhatsApp giving us all the information as needed. Great location in the city, everything is within a walkable distance. Would highly recommend!
Tom
For the price , not at all worth it.
Highest price paid and yet not even a capacino machine!
No staff on site after about 11:30 am.
Thought this was a hotel, not a hostel
Even silly things like multiple TV remotes and two of three would operate certain things.
Hotel even unable to get a taxi
I think the mgmt lost their passion of operating a hotel - more like accountants , not professional hoteliers.

Small Building
Palazzo Medusa is a nice little building located near a lot of the touristy areas of Rome. The location is great. The hotel itself is very small and cramped. The room that we stayed in was quite small and had one small window. The curtains over the window got stuck whenever they tried to be open. The room was very cramp and I am very happy we only stayed for one night. With two suit cases the space became even smaller.
With all this being said, it was a clean and well decorated room. I would recommend it for those traveling lightly and by themselves.

Zena
Lovely stay!
I used to live in the area, and coming back to see friends, this was a great base.
The building is tastefully decorated and it’s clear the proprietor pays attention to detail. It is a classic historical central Rome building with wood panelling ceilings and original tiled floors - my favourite kind.
Features including a kettle, tea, coffee, water and fully stocked mini-bar are not overlooked. Good quality sheets and towels and complimentary toiletries are not always expected in 3* establishments.
The concierge service is efficient and prompt. The hotel also offers additional services including transfers and tours.
If you want an authentic Roman experience, at a reasonable price, I highly recommend a stay here.

I used to live in the area, and coming back to see friends, this was a great base.
The building is tastefully decorated and it’s clear the proprietor pays attention to detail. It is a classic historical central Rome building with wood panelling ceilings and original tiled floors - my favourite kind.

Great location from which to walk or cab to all of the top spots in Rome. Average 15 Euro to most anywhere, or you can walk there in 20 minutes or less. Room soundproofing isn't great, but okay unless you are a very light sleeper. Lots of places to eat and shop within a block or two. Make sure you have cell phone that works in Europe or you may have trouble checking in. Building front door is always locked and door intercom doesn't work well. You have to call the staff to get in. Be sure you have the number.

We really enjoyed the convenience of this property to the main attractions in Rome. The staff were great and kept our room very clean all throughout our visit. Would highly recommend.
