Arleen
Very well located hotel. Loved the roof top breakfast!
Sheila
Great location! Nice-sized room, good air conditioner, but the bedroom and, mainly, the bathroom need major renovation. Great cappuccino for breakfast! Not a great quality buffet breakfast. Not friendly staff.
Victor
A perfect experience and stay for our honeymoon. We stood in a deluxe room and it was more than spacious enough. The place was extremely clean and the staff was super nice. The rooftop was a relaxing spot as well.
It’s a little bit further from some of the tourist sites but regardless, I would stay here again when I return to Rome.

Baubino 181 was the perfect choice for our vacation in Rome. The staff was so friendly and gave the best recommendations for restaurants! The rooms were huge and the bathroom was amazing. Honestly the best shower I’ve ever had in a hotel. The rooftop bar was so adorable and not only had wonderful drinks but the best breakfast as well! Would definitely recommend anyone going to Rome to check this hotel out!

The hotel is beautiful! The staff is very helpful. We arrived early after a long flight and they got our room ready early. The breakfast is delicious in a beautiful room on the roof.

Lisa
Hotel is in a great location. Quiet at night. The breakfast on the roof top was very good. Staff were always friendly and efficient
Ioulia
Excellent location for those looking to check out all major attractions and spend some time shopping. We were able to walk everywhere. The stores around the hotel offered variety of world known brands and local designers. Many great restaurants and cafes to try variety of Italian food. The hotel was very clean, our room was very spacious with a balcony and huge windows. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. The decor is a bit dated, but they do a great job keeping everything sparkling clean. The breakfast was alright, it would be nice to order a few warm menu items and have more healthy options such as berries, quality granola and freshly squeezed juices, but knowing that Italians don’t eat breakfast what they offered was more than enough to load up on calories in the morning.
Julia
Spacious room (with a bonus tub!) and friendly staff.
Richard
Great location; comfortable accommodation; very friendly and helpful staff.
roberta
Hotel is lovely
Lucie
Wonderful staff, great breakfast with a warm welcome every morning. Our room was big and quiet on the backyard but the room was needing some attentions…paint, wood door in front of the fridge was falling down, shelves are missing in the bathroom for your cosmetics etc., little things but if the owner wants to keep his hotel a 4 stars (especially now a Hilton) he has to tour all the rooms and fix all these issues.
We would go back!

Lovely, clean and great location.
Marilyn
Nice property but questionable service. We stayed in annex (across the street and down the block). Every day the housekeeper did not leave any bottles of water. (Water in sink non- potable which desk never told us until I asked). Tried to call for water but our phone was dead.
Otherwise property was good

Staff was very friendly and the rooms were extremely clean. Hotel is on a busy pedestrian road but the rooms stay quiet.
Yasmine
The hotel breakfast is great. The room is dark no proper mirrors, would not stay here again. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who likes super clean stays. I took a risk on booking but would not return. Area is great but feels like you are literally sleeping in the street from the noise.
I highly recommend they update some proper full length mirrors inside their rooms.

Steven
Gorgeous roof terrace for breakfast.
Jean Pierre
Everything was very good. Only problem was the difficulty to get into the tub for a shower.
Charles
Amazing as always!
Beautiful boutique hotel, the rooms are lovely and the staff attentive. A delicious and varied breakfast with Valerio and the team on the top floor, is a wonderful way to start the day. The location is fantastic too.
Carlos
This is an overpriced and underwhelming hotel. Super expensive for what you get. Service is poor and the property is old. I could hear everything from the room next door making it awkward and difficult to sleep. The only good aspects about the property were the location and the breakfast. Overall, not recommended.
Vincent
Best hotel! Would go anytime again!
Ellen
We love staying at this property. The location is central and very convenient to many of the highlights of a Roman holiday. It’s nice that it isn’t terribly touristy by the hotel though all things are accessible. There’s a great breakfast that is included from a rooftop restaurant. The rooms are well sized and sophisticated in design and feels more residential rather than “hotel cookie cutter” like. The staff is very professional, helpful and pleasant. We love the guidebook that the owner has written that they give you when you check-in. It gives you an insider’s look into the places to shop and eat.

Poor recepti
Rosa
Excellent value for money. The hotel has a great location, very good staff and very clean. Breakfast is very good and room was large.
Jared
Not quite SLH quality
I've stayed in a number of SLH hotels and it's usually a superlative experience. While the Babuino staff were nice, the hotel was missing the attention to detail I've come to expect from SLH - door frames were chipped, floors were heavily scratched up, bad lighting, the heater hummed so loudly I had to turn it off to sleep, screw holes in the walls in the room (shelving had been removed but not covered up).
Lawrence
Hope to return soon!
Our stay was great! The location is amazing and very convenient. We definitely would recommend and return.
Jess
We loved our stay here. 40 minute walk to Colosseum, and 20/30 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. Closer to The Spanish Steps. Very crowded even on off peak time though but hotel was amazing and included breakfast was a huge plus!
Liz
We enjoyed our stay over the holidays. Our room was small, but very well appointed. We were not able to control the heat, so my husband did crack a window because it was extremely warm in our room. Breakfast had a great variety and delicious cappuccino’s. The area was so walkable and lovely. We will stay again in the future.
Mira
Small hotel. Great location. Amazing breakfast. Rooms are different and not all of them have a good layout.
Marcel
This property is a hybrid between a hotel and a rental.
The best part is the decent breakfast but the room could be more airy and better lighting.

The hotel is in a fabulous area close to all the major Sites to visit, great restaurants and boutiques.
Our room was large and very comfortable but on the 2nd floor and dark.
The breakfast on the rooftop was great with good ingredients and great staff.
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and the front desk allowed us to have a late ck out which was very nice.

The location is convenient, the street is gorgeous and the staffs are super nice. I really like the rooftop restaurant. The manager Valerio and the girls work there are hospitable!

Excellent small hotel.
Maryam
Wonderful staff - area is amazing - we walked everywhere to all the major historical places.
The room was outdated I have to say. The bed they add to our room for things person for our son was broken and the bathroom was dated. We didn’t care so much as location was key and we didn’t spend too much time but for someone that does care about the price they pay for rooms in the pictures - it’s not like that. At least ours wasn’t.

Joshua
A very nice hotel in a truly ideal spot to walk around and visit Roma. While the room itself was well appointed, it wasn't precisely the suite I expected. That being said the management set up the room for our children with two extra beds and included a number of nice extras such as water and juice in the mini refrigerator. Overall a really nice place I'd recommend.
Patricia
I will definitely stay at Babuino 181 again as everything from arrival to departure was terrific and the location can't be beat for a morning walk on Piazza Poppolo.
Zaira

Beautiful hotel. Spacious and comfortable rooms. With a great location.
Gena
Boutique hotel in perfect location
The 2 best things about this hotel is its location and the rooftop terrace. Located between Piazza di Popolo and The Spanish steps it is close to the famous shopping streets and the monuments are close by. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace which is also available for guest only use throughout the day. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. This is the second time we have stayed here and loved it
Reha
Helpful staff - good room with many amenities, excellent location - close to shopping and sites with walkable distances.
joseph
Excellent location. Great staff. I would urge you not to get the standard room. It's very small. Also DO NOT book their limo service. I booked a pickup at Termini train station. The driver messaged me she would pick me up at 11.30. She showed at noon. I waited in 100 degree heat. It was 60 euro. While waiting and angry, I searched Uber Black. They would have been there in 4 minutes for 24 euros. And the limo driver would not take a credit card unless I gave her another 6 euros. The hotel said it's out of their control as drivers don't work for them. I told them not to offer a service that's unreliable and consequently a rip off.
Otherwise the hotel is great.

Central position. All facilities. Staff very attentive. Breakfast superb
Carina Alice Nafisa
What a hotel. The suite (not room!) is three times the size of your average Roman hotel room. The staff are friendly and helpful, the breakfast buffet is nice and varied (with Prosecco!) and it’s in a brilliant location. I will definitely be coming back here!

Rola
First of all let me start by stating that I never write reviews, and typically stay in larger ‘well-known chain hotels’. This hotel exceeded all my expectations. Location was close to all the major attractions, easy metro proximity, clean and quiet at night. We travelled as a family (two boys 9 & 11) and stayed a week. The staff were fantastic - always there to answer questions and super friendly. I must specifically mention Nicole, Valerie, and Maria Chiara. Thank you for such a great experience!
Thomas
Really nice place. Big rooms and comfortable accommodations. However, there is only single-zone heating/AC, which means the whole building can only have either heat or AC. We went in late April and being from the Northeast U.S. found Rome quite warm and wanted our rooms cool at night. But others in the hotel complained the rooms were too cold, so we were forced to endure very hot rooms at night. Luckily, the windows opened.
Luis
Its a nice hotel with great location and amazing service. All employees are great. Nice shower AC and room. Close to best areas. Book with confidence.
Melanie

Manish
Loved our stay at Babuino 18
The hotel is very well located with major landmarks (Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain etc.) within walking distance and local train stations nearby. We also managed to walk to the Colosseum and Vatican City (c. 30 mins). The street has a number of lovely shops and cafes too. Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Being in the Annex building was fine for us.
The room was quiet, dark, cool and had very comfortable beds giving us great sleep after long days of walking around Rome.
Very happy with our choice

Overall it’s a good spot that’s super convenient to good shopping areas. Rooms are cute. Furniture is old and needs to be reupholstered though.
Zhi Feng
Our entire stay, from the moment we walked in, was spectacular. The bell staff proactively helped us with luggage without us asking. We checked in a few hours early and our room was ready, hassle-free. The front desk even gave us a free upgrade to the best suite with the rooftop terrace. The room was amazing. The space was so large that we needed a mini tour. Everything was spotless and tastefully decorated. The minibar was well stocked. Breakfast was delicious and again friendly staff. This made our trip even more memorable. We stayed in a lot of nice hotels, but this was easily our best hotel experience!
Anna
A lovely bathtub in every room. We requested two twin beds, which they ignored at room assignment, but it was rectified when we checked in. Do make sure you call and check that you do have twins the day before, though
Thomas
Excellent location, very good room size, small shower (also had a tub), breakfast value was low (nearby alternatives available), very clean.

Perfect stay in the very heart of Rome
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Babuino 181.
This small hotel is perfectly located between Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, in the very heart of the shopping precinct of Rome. Fontana di Trevi and Pantheon are within walking distance. our room was spacious, very well furnished and immaculately maintained. breakfast is served in the roof terrace and offers great selection of food. the whole staff is very corteous and kind. we will definitely get back there!!!!

Only place to stay in Rome and breakfast is world class! You must try the toast with cream cheese, salmon with salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil—was recommended and simply incredible!!

GUSTAVO
Parking is 5 min away and at extra cost. You have to inform before getting the hotel and they do not have enough concessions for as many guests. We ended entering the void zone without knowledge of this.
Rooms are small, European style. Location is excellent.
