The hotel has an excellent location, which is definitely its biggest advantage. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the check-in process was very frustrating. If you don’t have an Italian SIM card, it is almost impossible to contact the hotel staff by phone.

The breakfast was quite basic, consisting mainly of bread, cheese, and cold cuts, although the coffee was very good.

Another major issue was the lack of hot water in the shower, which significantly affected the overall experience.

Overall, the hotel offers a great location, clean and large rooms, but there are several service and maintenance issues that need improvement.

The location is amazing and we were so close to everything especially the Vatican City. The check in was good and the staff here have been excellent in answering our questions and helping us book our taxi and standing with us to ensure its arrival back to the airport.

The room is either on pavement level or just below. There are no plugs for the bath or sink so we had to plug both with a plastic cup provided. It does need re grouting! The air con is a blessing and many blankets are in the wardrobe. The bed is firm but comfortable. The cupboard door next to the bed did try to fall out and handles for the top drawer on a chest came out. The room is dark but overall did smell of damp.

If you know you’ll be out a lot then as I said the location is great and this is a hotel that you will remember. As I said I couldn’t fault the staff and how nice and friendly they were

The property is in a convenient location within a secure building. However, it could benefit from some upgrades, and the free breakfast options are quite limited. Hotel staff are available only during specific hours, so planning ahead is essential. If you arrive or depart outside their available times, you'll need to coordinate accordingly.

Upon arrival the unit they provided smelt like mold. They moved us to another room it also smelt of mold but not as much. The check in person that he would follow up in the morning for another move but nothing. The place is small and we were on street side. The curtains are thin and one nigh someone knock on the window from the street. Very scary. The breakfast option was a joke. I went to make a tea one night and the next night someone unplugged the unit. They must have been upset. The following night I tried again and they shut off the water. All for making a tea. Terrible place.

Small family run hotel right in the heart of Rome virtually everything was a maximum 20minute walk away. Breakfast was a traditional Italian breakfast (pastries, coffee and cereal, not very fancy). Airconditioning worked (very important). Only thing I disliked was wifi connectivity, extremely patchy. In this day and age internet connection is very important thus the loss of 1 star.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

We could not have felt less-welcome at this hotel. When our flight via London was delayed, we received a phone call from the hotel informing us that if we weren’t at the hotel by 21:00 we could not enter. Period. What kind of hotel does that!? After repeatedly telling me there was no solution, he suddenly admitted that a code could be emailed to unlock the gate. Voila.

On check-out morning, during a 10:15am coffee. the housekeeper marched in to bluntly and rudely tell us: breakfast ended at 10, we had to get out of the hotel by 11, and she had a lot of work!

It was simply unprofessional, inhospitable, and rude service. We are mature and seasoned travelers and have never experienced this level of rude service anywhere.

The property is old-school. Walls alls are covered in fabric and the furniture is a mix of antique European styles. The bed was solid and comfortable. Everything worked in the bathroom, although it should be noted that the shower was tiny—one could not reach the floor if the soap was dropped. Our room faced the street, situated at half-basement level. With curtains open pedestrians were right there. Literally.

The location was excellent—walking distance to all of central Rome. The price felt like a gouge for what it was, but that’s the new shoulder-season Europe.

Based on the rudeness of the staff we would never stay again nor recommend. Zero feeling of hospitality; more like we were in their way.

Not worth it the price

POSITIVES:
- Nice staff
- Location
- Cute / charming deco

NEGATIVE
- There was no wifi in the bedroom that I stayed (bedroom number 5) - Staff said that this was due to the pandemic, but I think this excuse is totally unreasonable as things are open since May 2021
- Bedroom really needs maintenance (door handle came out, rusty shower, old shower curtain) - all very sloppy
- Bed and pillows: the bed was pending to one side. Pillows extremely uncomfortable. I asked to replace one of them and they gave me another one with same bad quality.
- Very poor breakfast
Overall I think it is unacceptable a place like this for the price I payed. I felt ripped off.

It's in the perfect spot to hit all the must see places in Old Rome, and to walk to the Vatican. Very charming place, and I will definitely stay here again, when I return to Rome.

PERFECT LOCATION

I stayed at the Residenza for a week and enjoyed my stay very much. The room was pleasant, clean and served all my needs for the week. Vera was wonderful as was Vincenzo. This is a perfect location across the river from the Castel St. Angelo and the Trastevere and within walking distance of St. Peters, the Piazza Navona, Spanish Stairs, Jewish Ghetto and Campo di Fiore. The only downside was this was not a full service such as a hotel would, but that's reflected in the price. My only problem was Daniele would leave early in the evening so if I needed a taxi to go to dinner, I had to try to find a taxi stand with waiting taxis. Also though one evening he called a taxi for me, it didn't show up and we called again, so I was late to the start of an evening food tasting/walking tour. Luckily I found the group and didn't miss much. I would stay there again. The breakfast is plentiful, though I did miss eggs. Vera's croissants were excellent, as were the cheese and parma ham, as well as the yoghurt. I would stay there again.

If you are traveling on a budget, but still want to have a room with privacy, a small terrace, TV, continental breakfast, and a location in the city center (and also on the River!) this is the hotel for you. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming - you felt more like a guest at their home rather than staying in a hotel. They helped us with anything we needed, from printing tickets to helping us choose a place to eat. We stayed for 6 nights, and should we ever return to Rome, we will be booking our stay here again.

Home base for Rome

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. It seems to be an older property, but is being well maintained overall. Security is excellent with a locked street door, a locked door to the hotel hallway and your own locked room door. The room was comfortable enough, but we were immediately struck by a bad smell when we stepped into the room - I'm afraid it smelled like urine - my husband didn't notice it as much as I did and once we were in the room a few minutes, we either got used to it or didn't notice it anymore. There is an en suite with both a toilet and a bidet. Not sure why the smell as all appeared clean. Perhaps the air conditioner? BTW, many places in Italy that we visited had no A/C, so that was nice. The bed was comfortable enough, but the pillows provided were not. Breakfast provided was prepacked stuff and one bundt cake thing. Not a great breakfast. The BEST thing about this place, besides the reasonable cost, was the owner, who was very helpful, courteous and professional.

Rome is the capital of Italy and also of the Province of Rome and of the region of Lazio. With 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi), it is also the country's largest and most populated comune and fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The urban area of Rome extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 3.8 million.[2] Between 3.2 and 4.2 million people live in Rome metropolitan area.[3][4][5][6][7] The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of Tiber river. Vatican City is an independent country within the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.

We had an ocean view room with a balcony to sit and enjoy the sights - well worth the little extra cost. Internet connection was intermittent at best and the breakfast wasn't very exciting, but directly across the street they make a great cappuccino and have yummy pastries..... and gelato of course! The owner Andrea is extremely helpful. I had my wallet stolen at the train station and he even offered to lend me cash. I will recommend an ocean view room to friends.
