The Positives:
- Location is great. On an accessible side street so there is not much noise. Right downstairs is a great restaurant (Hostaria Roody), a few steps further and you have loads of restaurant options. Trastavere is a very heavy location for tourists so it’s nice to be a little bit out of the way.
- Generally, communication is good - they accommodated an early meet to drop off luggage, which did help out a lot.
The Negatives:
- The layout of the space looks good in photos, but is not at all ergonomic. It’s designed to show, not to live in.
- Communication in other ways is a bit unclear - at check-in we given an incorrect check-out time, which was cleared up, but then cleaning staff still arrived early.
- The biggest negative is the bathroom - there is mold and a smell (as other reviews point out). This should be addressed.
Overall:
- If you need a short stay in Trastavere, and don’t have too many requirements, this is exactly that: a room with a good location. Granted, you shouldn’t be spending much time in your room anyway - explore Rome! Set your expectations appropriately and enjoy the location. If you are booking further in advance though, I’d suggest exploring some other better-value options.
