This place was great! Small and quiet, with very kind helpful staff. The room and bathroom were both very nice and glad there was a mini fridge for our drinks!
Only downside was being on the 6th floor you either had to walk all the way up or use old elevator.
Would definitely book here again!
In a great area too, able to walk to Vatican City in 10 minutes or less.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this stylish, comfortable, and quiet hotel and located in a busy but not touristy part of Pratti. It’s a little hard to figure out the entry/lobby upon arrival (go through inner gate on right then up to 6th floor), and there are no food amenities on-site. But it’s cool, calm, and classy otherwise. The bed was great and the AC was cold (much needed during the current heatwave). And though we booked a family room, we were given 2 adjoining rooms. We’d be happy to stay here again.

The hotel is near the historic sites and so easy to walk or get a bus or taxi. The receptionists at the desk are very very helpful with recommending restaurants for authentic Italian! We couldn’t say more about them, they were wonderful. There is an elevator that is “vintage” that takes you up to the 6th floor where the hotel is located. The views are great!

The room was wonderful. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly (especially Vinny). The elevator came in handy but could use some updating. At first it was hard to see where the hotel was but once we found the button to buzz in, it was good. We used the laundry service but could have used a less expensive option near by if we planned better.

1. The \"hotel\" is on the 6th Floor of the Hotel and only accessible via a small, rickety, two person elevator. As we were three people with 3 pieces of luggage, it took us multiple trips to access the 6th floor.
2. During our stay the elevator was stuck between floors forcing us to climb the 6th stories. The hotel is in a shared building (residential, office, and hotels) which is serviced by only one small elevator. **** If any service outtages occur when the staff is not on site, then you will lose valuable vacation time in contacting them and having the issue rectified.
3. The location of the \"hotel\" was in was in a quiet commercial/residental neighborhood without many restauranat options.
4. While the \"hotel\" was close to Vactican City, it was not close to the historic sections of Rome. The nearest Metro station was not convenient either (it was a 15 minute walk).
5. The value for what we paid for the stay was just not there as the room was tight for 3 people and the amenities were very sparse. We had to ask the staff for additional towels, though the room was setup for 3 people but only two sets of towels were supplied. There was only enough space for one suitacse in the built in luggage rack.
6. We had a very early check out and there was no staff member available to check us out.
>>>> Overall, do not stay at this hotel unless you are willing to put up with these major issues including the hike up six floors (when the elevator is out of service).

Good stay/elevator iffy

Definitely a cute hotel located on the 6th floor of an apartment building. The hotel itself was clean, except there was definitely a little dusting that still needed attending to. We had some things on the floor that got covered in dust so someone could have done a better sweep. Overall, the amenities were nice and the mini fridge prices were pretty reasonable for a hotel. Service was great and could provide a taxi within just a few minutes. The only big issue I had with this hotel was that if someone didn’t shut the elevator door all the way, it didn’t work. So being on the sixth floor, we sometimes had to walk up or down six flights of stairs, which isn’t terrible, but not exactly great when you’re hot and sweaty from exploring Rome in the summertime. Luckily it worked for bringing up and down our luggage or I would have been more upset. Overall a great stay, but I would definitely make sure that you’re in great shape before staying here, in case of the elevator being out of commission.

I must start my review with commending Angelica's kind services. She went above and beyond starting months in advance of our stay. We felt seen by her listening to our needs and making sure our stay was pleasant at all times. We rented two rooms for our family of 6 and felt comfortable in each. The rooms are clean and quiet. The location is within walking distance to The Vatican, Vatican Museums, eateries and shopping. It was easy to find transportation to other historical sites. Nice, comfortable hotels are only made better by their staff. Anjelica does this for The Boutique. We will definitely stay here in our future trips to Rome!

We stayed at Joli Boutique Hotel during our recent visit to Rome, and while the location is excellent,just a short walk to the Vatican and surrounded by several great dining options—there are a few things travelers should be aware of.

The building is quite old, which gives it some charm, but also presents practical challenges. The elevator is very small and outdated, fitting only 2–3 people at a time. It requires navigating two different manual doors, which is especially difficult when carrying luggage, or if you’re traveling with kids or a stroller. The wait for the elevator can often exceed 5 minutes, and there are a few stairs to climb before even reaching it, making accessibility a concern.

That said, the rooms are nicely done, the staff is friendly, and the surrounding area is lively and walkable. If you're traveling light and don’t mind some old-world quirks, it could be a cozy and convenient choice. But for families or anyone with mobility issues, this might not be the most practical option.

The room had a bad smell that I cannot describe and I didn’t know where it was coming from. There is no AC (maybe not activated) so it got a little warm in the room at night. That was in April 2025 when we visited Rome. I decided to open the window to allow some fresh air in but the bugs were also getting in. Other than those two things, it is in a great location, the staff were awesome, and the room is big enough for 4 adults and had everything that we needed for our stay.

You never know what to expect when visiting somewhere new but we were extremely pleased with our stay at boutique hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful with directions.

No issues with finding the hotel and location was very convenient for getting around either by bus or taxi. Walking is an option too if you're comfortable walking 20-30 mins to places like the pantheon/trevi fountain. Vatican is just down the street.

Rooms were cleaned everyday and restocked with new towels.

The only thing i would make note of is that the walls are a little bit thin and can hear people in the next room sometimes or when they come in at night. It never became an issue with us but it was something we noticed.

The hotel is located in a building. When you arrive you are a bit lost Since you need to enter through a second door. The gate is locked and you are given a key so you are able to access the building after 8pm
Since the reception will be closed. They have an antique elevator that only 3 people fit at the time. The rooms have a weird smell and the sheets are dirty. Also, for our luck the hot water boiler broke and we woke up with a big puddle of water in the middle of the room. Therefore, there was no water when we woke up to use the bathroom. When I went up to receptionist, they said that they would have the problem fix in the afternoon and there was nothing they can do. Has a Human being you Need to use a bathroom as soon as you wake up and brush your teeth. Mind you I have a toddler with me and they didn’t even care. When I asked for a refund, it was denied and there was no other room for me and my family.
The only good thing I have to say about this place is that is in a very good location. But if you want to be more comfortable as a family, this is not the place for you. This is more for couples only.

This property is on the top floor of a building, and getting in requires two keys. The elevator is old-fashioned and sometimes unreliable, so you might end up climbing six flights of stairs. Occasionally, the key to the building itself doesn't work, causing frustration. Plus, there's no reception from 8:30 pm to 8 am, which made me quite anxious. I heard people shouting at night, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from, adding to my stress during the stay. However, the staff were really nice and helpful, which was the highlight of my experience.
