There are 4 rooms only. All on the ground level. That kept everything close and convenient. Walking distance to everything! Safe area. Many small eateries nearby. Tiber River across the street. Good A/C! Clean private bathroom. Wonderful host!!! I would book it again.

I’ve stayed in several places and several areas in Rome and this one is very convenient and pleasant. Lovely updated spacious room I stayed in. Busy street in front but the rooms are sound proof enough from traffic. It is a 4 bedroom guest house not a hotel but there is super helpful staff at the front desk during the day for all the help you could need and more including plenty of advice on sites and food. They provided an early check in for me as it was available and watched my bags for me after checkout.

Great little place in Trastevere … but!

Let me start Bryan saying Laura was a GREAT hosted to this small (4) unit property. All was great until our last night. In the middle of the night our room was fill with the overpowering smell of Ammonia. Not sure what happened but it made my wife and I nauseous . The room was not occupiable. We Brought this to Laura’s attention immediately when she arrived in the morning. She didn’t appear to take this seriously until her maintenance man brought it to her attention.. We feel the situation was handled poorly as any hotel/ motel, etc would have moved us or comped us 1 night…

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Palazzo Baj Guesthouse in the heart of Trastevere! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations.

First of all, the cleanliness of the entire guesthouse is impeccable—spotless rooms and common areas that made me feel truly comfortable and at home. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, with high ceilings, elegant decor, and plenty of natural light, which is rare to find in such a central Roman location.

A delightful bonus was the complimentary cake and coffee, available throughout the day—perfect for a quick recharge after exploring the city or as a gentle start to the morning.

What really made the stay special was Laura, the host. She’s incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely cares about making your stay perfect. From restaurant recommendations to helping with directions or bookings, Laura goes above and beyond—her local tips were absolute gold!

The location couldn’t be better. You’re less than a 5-minute walk from some of the highest-rated restaurants in Rome, right in the heart of Trastevere. Whether you’re in the mood for authentic Roman pasta, a cozy wine bar, or vibrant nightlife, everything is just around the corner.

If you’re looking for a place with charm, comfort, and outstanding hospitality, Palazzo Baj is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to come back!

This place was super cute and I would definitely stay here again! Its located in right over the river which we ended up loving. Its a bit further away from the tourist-y stuff in the best way possible. Still walkable to the Colosseum and the Vatican (30-40 minutes) but tucked away enough that we felt like we were getting a more authentic experience. The host was super nice and helpful with recommendations and assistance in getting rides.

Laura made us feel welcome from day one, helping us to find our way around Rome, offering great recommendations for restaurants and general assistance. The location is superb, easy walk into to central Rome, whilst having access to a plethora of restaurants, cafes & bars in and around Trastevere.
Our room was what we expected, decent size for Rome and price range.

We couldn’t have had a better experience for our last evening in Europe. The car service that she pre-booked (about 3 weeks prior) was right on time, driver was friendly and the van was spotless!

We had two rooms and the reception area with coffee, water and pastry in the mornings was a great way to start the day. They arranged for our private transfer to the airport, and arranged for contactless check in when our train didn’t arrive until after normal reception hours. We would definitely stay again!!!

We have just enjoyed a three day trip to Rome and stayed at the Palazzo Baj guest house. The guesthouse and the room was exceptionally clean and facilities were of a high standard. The Palazzo Baj is located in the Trastevere area which is full of excellent restaurants and cafes, and all the other sights Rome has to offer are within walking distance. The road outside is fairly noisy but that’s to be expected I guess in a city such as Rome. We did the self check in as we didn’t arrive until late in the evening, and we didn’t seen any staff/the owners at all during our stay until we checked out three days later, as we were out early each morning.

We did experience some noise from the apartment above one night who sounded as if they were having a party and because of the nature of the building the noise travelled and the sounds of chairs etc scraping on the ceiling meant we didn’t get a great nights sleep. We did WhatsApp the owners of the guesthouse who did respond quickly although understandably there wasn’t much they could do in hindsight. It would have been nice if they could have checked in with us the next day or even asked how our stay was at check out, however it was a case of us handing our keys over to a gentleman who said said goodbye to us, and that was it, which did feel a little strange.

It was a quiet guest house, even though lungotevere is a Main Street. It was perfect for short stay, bed & room comfortable size and was easy walking to colosseum and really anywhere. Trastevere is at your doorstep. Best way of contact is via Expedia or calling the contact # they provide, not what’s ap. Helpful in setting up taxi to airport and getting us checked as soon as we got there, we did notify them of our estimated arrival via train and someone was waiting for us for smooth check in. We had a 20€ food & beverage -only used a portion of it. No issue getting a good nights rest.

Fantastic location, we walked everywhere from there. Its in the quiet end of Trastevere, which felt more local, but still endless choice of restaurants and bars just a few minutes walk away. The room was large and really comfortable with a lovely treelined view across to the river. Its on a busy road but the sound proofing was excellent. Laura gave us some fantastic suggestions for restaurants and other places and markets we might like, and made some reservations for us. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Rome!

The woman who assists Laura at the property was very helpful and she gave excellent food and drink recommendations. We didn’t love the check in process as you have to make an appt between 2-6pm usually if you want to be greeted by someone and everything is on a “help yourself” level there. Some people may not mind this though, so not saying it to deter anyone, just to be mindful of it before booking. Also the taxi situation is horrible in Trastevere, so make sure you book a transfer way ahead of time if you must be somewhere on time or prebook a private transfer if you’re trying to make it to the airport or important appts.

Terrible!! mis advertisement!

We expected a room with river view as advertised instead room is on street level with GAS STATION view on one side and cars parked on the other, people walk on sidewalk by your window…Heard traffic and saw headlights all night. A sliver of soap size not even replaced the next day. Broken toilet seat!! The « free « snacks were just packaged goods not replenished the next day. Asked for a bottle of Prosecco the second night and instead a bottle of WARM white wine was put in room. No red wine offerings as advertised.
Beware of hours for check out. Order your ride ahead of time for airport. No taxis available when we were ready to leave and had to order a Uber black for 99 euros.
The personal touch people refer to was not offered to us! There was no one to talk to after check in at 2 pm simply to pay and be shown the room with the « views ». Only 4 rooms in all. All on street. We had corner view with side window to gas station as a bonus!

For the price point, this property was exceptional. Located in a fantastic part of the city (the Trastevere), it was also easy walking distance to many parts of the city and to the major sights. Although it’s located on a main road, the dual-paned windows delightfully masked the sound of the traffic just outside the window. The bed was very comfortable and linens high-quality. Loved the waterfall shower. Also really appreciated the access to the small but well-appointed lounge and kitchen area. The espresso, as well as the fresh cakes and treats, were wonderful.

Palazzo Baj was a fabulous place for our stay in Rome. It was in a wonderful location in Trastevere very near to great restaurants, cafes, and bars — while also walkable to many sites. The complimentary espresso was a lovely perk and Laura provided exceptional restaurant recommendations for all types of meals!

Breakfast was included but sent you to your choice of a few local cafes within a 2m walk of the hotel - this was far more interesting than most typical “hotel continental” breakfast spreads and it was delicious every time!!

The place was cozy with only a handful of guest rooms in a beautiful older building while also being fully updated with great amenities.

Immaculately clean, so that was good. But the service was not. The whole point of staying at these boutique places is the thoughtful personalized service. The woman that checked me in clearly had other places she wanted to be, and couldn't be bothered to give me any recommendations for a dinner place, except to say there were some cards on the stand near the entry. Also, there is a keypad that you can code to get in which has the numbers you code well-worn -- anyone who looks at it knows exactly the buttons to push to get in.

We stayed two very comfortable nights in one of the four rooms in the Palazzo Baj Guest House. Situated on the Tiber River near the Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo House is perfect for exploring many of Rome's neighborhoods by foot, such as Trastevere, Campo di Fiori, and the Jewish Quarter. Housed in a traditional Roman building, the rooms are refurbished and modern, private, comfortable and very quiet, Strong bedroom windows keep out any traffic noise from the street.

Our host, Laura, could not have been more hospitable and welcoming. She arranged airport transportation when we left, and provided homemade pastries, snacks, fruit and beverages throughout the day. We highly recommend Palazzo Baj.

No check in. Owner only available for few hours per day in morning. Didn’t line up with our tours which were early in the morning. Owner was very worried about city tax which we had to pay in cash because she wanted to avoid other expenses and after googling the rules, she charged us an extra day stating it was by the day, not the night. This meant if she had customers back to back, she would be double dipping on the check out/check in day.
Breakfast was a coupon to two neighboring restaurants that consisted of one coffee, one croissant and one toast with jam. Property was fine but the owner and value was disappointing.
