“We booked a room with strong air conditioning, and the location could not have been better — everything we wanted to see was within walking distance.”

8Verified guest

“The room was comfortable and the bed was large. The area felt safe at night, with appealing bars and a restaurant close by, and the location itself was charming.”

8Verified guest

“Excellent location for the price; the room was clean and comfortable.”

8Verified guest

“The location was the highlight. Being in the middle of Trastevere made you feel like part of the city rather than just a visitor. Below the room was a lively square where coffee and panini were reasonably priced and the cocktails were great, and plenty of inexpensive restaurants nearby served excellent food.”

8Verified guest

“As the name suggests, this is essentially a room — ours was very small but pleasant, looking onto lively Piazza San Cosimato where fruit and vegetables are sold. The Trastevere location made it easy to walk everywhere, and bus stops were a five to ten minute walk away.”

8Verified guest

“A good base for sightseeing. The staff were helpful whenever we needed them, and the attached restaurant and bar were a real bonus after a long day. The room was cleaned daily and spotless.”
