Ripetta Rooms

The rooms were very very small for two people. Rooms were clean & comfortable otherwise. Area close to shopping & cafes.

The photos on this site have been filtered and staged. This at best is a hostel, not a hotel. The rooms are small and not comfortable. We arrived at 5:30 in the evening. We had to carry our luggage up 2 flights of stairs. The person who checked us in, and had us pay the tax at that time, in all other hotels I have stayed at this is done at check-out, left the building immediately once that was completed since the "reception hours" are 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Unfortunately for us, the Ryder Cup was taking place in Rome and we could not find another place to stay or we would have left. I'm providing pictures of the entryway, stairs, and the always-vacant reception area.

Entry is filthy dirty. So dirty I demanded to see my room before dragging my bag up the steps. There is no elevator. The tile in the bathroom had handprints all over it as if has never been wiped down and the shower area leaked and was moldy. I was not at all comfortable in the location either. It was dark and covered in trash. DO NOT STAY HERE.

The room was not as clean as the images on the website described. It was very dark, the shower head broken and could do with a major refurbishment. I asked to move room and was told by the managerhad to wait a day and that she would alert the cleaner. When I was ready to move the cleaner did not let me in because he was not informed. I had to leave all my packed belongings in the previous room and also discovered that one of my holdall which I left in the room disappeared. Not a place I'd go back to.

What a fantastic location. RIGHT in the heart of Rome and centrally located to so many of the iconic landmarks. This location was perfect for what we were looking for and at the price point, satisfied all of our needs. European rooms are smaller than American rooms regardless, so if you have a lot of luggage or more than 2 people, be prepared that you may need to verify the room size. For two people our room was the perfect size. If you are a very tall or larger individual, you may find the shower in our particular room fairly compact. Our contact (Marco) took care of setting up our transfers for us as well and was VERY attentive and helpful during our stay. The building was very quiet and you didn't hear any street or pedestrian noise. Depending on your cell provider you may or may not have reception due to the solid walls of the building, but wifi worked perfectly. If you are English speaking, be prepared, you are in Italy, so all of the TV channels are in Italian language as should be expected. We just watched our shows on our iPad. Housekeeping came by daily to refresh which was so nice to come back to after a long day of exploring.

Excellent location for walking to shopping and restaurants; excellent location for transit to attractions; very helpful staff; quaint small rooms with no unnecessary amenities, just perfect accommodations for experiencing Rome

The accommodation was great in a perfect location to visit Rome. The room was quiet in spite of facing a busy road. The staff was polite and accommodating. The only problem was the lift which didn't reach the mezzanine floor where the accommodation was situated. It was difficult with heavy suitcases and it would have helped knowing in advance that the lift was an issue.

Super location, very flexible in and out checking, very comfortably beds, quiet aerea. Just perfect!
