Residence Villa Tassoni - Rome

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. It was within walking distance of the Vatican and close to metro transit stations and places to dine and shop. The picture of the room looked different than the actual room that we had and the sidewalks had a lot of litter and trash on them around the property. All in all, the location was […] great, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the price was right. Read more

The Villa Tassoni is more a flat service than a regular hotel. There is no restaurant and no room service. My "apartment" had a living room and a small built-in kitchen, besides the bedroom, a freshly renovated bathroom with marble lined walls, and even a porch with table and chair. It is installed on a stylish "palazzo" on a residential neighborhood. […] There is very little action, night life and attractions, near this location though. But nearby there is a place for breakfast -- cappuccino and cornettos -- a tobacco store to purchase, among other things, bus/metro tickets, a bakery, and a couple of restaurants; Italian and Chinese. There is also a Laundromat somewhat close to it; requrires a 15-min walk to via Pereira Romeo Rodriguez. The metro station -- Cipro -- is at a 15-min walk downhill. You can also take the bus across the street and stop near the metro station or even go downtown. Overall, Villa Tassoni is very convenient considering their very reasonable rates. Read more

Enjoyed our stay, staff very helpful, small kitchen had all utensils needed to prepare meals.

The hotel is a walking distance to The Vatican. After the Canonization of the 7 Saints at the St. Peter's Square, I had a good walk all the way to The Colosseum. The Cipro metro is about 10 minutes walk only from the hotel. The staff was helpful & courteous!

We had an extra four days following our cruise and found that this hotel and staff were very professional, the neighorhood felt safe, and everything went very well. Staff made all the necessary reservations for sightseeing and taxi to the airport.

Stayed in a suit with a terrace. Clean and comfortable room for a very reasonable price. There is a fridge and a small cooking area. Plenty of space. About 10 minutes walk to the metro station or you can catch a bus right by the hotel. A little bit away from the main attractions, but the trade of is comfortable accommodations. A good pizza place is […] less than a block away. Read more

My partner and I were quite pleased with our stay at this hotel. While it's not the poshest place you could choose, you do have quite a lot of space. The rooms were like mini apartments with a small kitchenette attached (including all kitchen supplies). The shower was small, but it didn't really matter to us. The little bit of time we interacted with […] the staff, they were friendly, and made great restaurant recommendations. The location is easy to get to, but a bit outside the city. If you don't care about taking the subway for 25 minutes, then this is worth it! Read more

My husband and I stayed here for four nights at the end of a 16 night Europe trip. This place was by far the worst. Our shower flooded our whole room and the place was broken into prior to us arriving, so it didn't have a lock on the outer gate or a front door. The front door was glass and it was sitting outside the hotel broken for the entire time […] of our stay. I never like to say anything bad about hotels, but I would not recommend this place to anyone I know. Side note the tv never worked. Read more

Hice Little hotel in Rome if you need to be in that part of the city. It is located 25 minutes in taxi of Via del Corso. During my stay I even saw a wedding celebration at the hotel. Good WiFi (free). No breakfast served, but there is a bar / cafe very close and for dinner two minutes away from a nice pasta / pizza place.

Nice studio apt. We awanted a balcony and they really came through for us . We spent almost two weeks, and had a great time. The metro was about a 15 minute walk. The staff was helpful. Would stay again.

Front desk personnel were polite but evasive when told air conditioning was not working. Having to open the windows at night to get some air current in the room it was impossible to sleep with the traffic noise from the street. Hot water was available but had to wait over 15 min. for the water to warm for the next person.

Villa Tassoni is a wonderful place - more like an apartment! Very beautiful - it has rich history - built in the 1850's by Count Tassoni for famous guests! Fruit trees, etc right outside the window. 1 mile walk to Vatican City - Cipro subway station 5 min walk away. Francesco is the most informative host you will find!

We were 3 adults and we had the suite at this hotel. The oven, microwave,shower and the telephone didn't work, they were there but it was like a joke. The refrigerator and the microwave were nasty and sticky. If you like to take a shower every night after being in the sun walking the streets of Rome then this hotel is not for you. We didn't have enough […] warm water for the three of us. Just one person could take a shower with warm water. It was a nightmare because for the other two the water was freezing. They just change the towels 2 times per week. When we would take a shower, it was a mess because the shower was broke and the whole bathroom was wet. It was horrible. They do not clean the rooms. They just make the beds and that's it they don't change and clean anything. The staff at front desk were multilingual. The best of the hotel was the staff at the front desk, they were nice and helpful about directions of places and the location was ok. The building that was next to our patio was horrible. There was graffiti and a lot of trash. I'm pretty sure there were homeless people living there. I did not feel very safe staying at this hotel, or leaving my valuables at the hotel. I would not stay at this hotel again. Read more

Service was very nice, we actually left after checking out and the clerk ran 5 minutes after us to give us what we left on his desk! The only thing to complain about was the shower, don't really like how it works, water ends up everywhere. A/C, free WiFi, close to metro and regional trains.

The hotels at which my wife and I stay are typical European hotels...not modern American chain hotels. Both my wife and me found Villa Tossani to be a charming place to stay. Tucked away in a residential neighborhood lushly filled with trees, flowers, birds, and great views, this hotel was originally a villa. Overall, the room was adequate for our needs: […] the room was clean, had a frige, adequate storage space for unpacked clothing and a small kitchenette with cooktop. Our room had a beautiful balcony with wonderful views of the neighborhood. The bathroom was very small, shower stall approximately 30 x 30". I wish the hotel manager had told us previously to turn on the hot water. I would stay at Villa Tossani again. Staff very courteous, friendly, and helpful. They did speak English. Read more

This was super close to Vatican City--every day we were able to walk there and start our journeys around Rome. The hotel staff was very friendly and the value for the price was great. It was a little disappointing that breakfast wasn't included, but we knew this up front. The room came with all of the amenities necessary and the internet connection […] was stellar. Read more

Able to get to all major tourist attractions on public transportation. Excellent neighborhood restaurantswithin walking distance.

Although the room was quite big for Europe travel the bed was so terrible that by our third and last night we resorted to sleeping on the pullout sofa sleeper. The staff really had no solution to the poor bed or pillows. Our second day in Rome was a bust due to being totally exhausted from a lack of sleep.

Everything was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Then never charged us anything for anything extra we asked for such as an iron, converter plug, etc. The only reason I have rated it lower is that I can't say for sure but the sheets seem kind of suspect. The only reason why the comfort of the hotel i rated lower is because of […] the FREEZING SHOWER water. We went during February so it was near snowing and the water only stayed hot for exactly 1 minute and then took 1 hr to go back to remotely warm. Other than that it was clear, their double room actually had 5 beds (2 pull out), and small kitchen, etc. Pretty great for the price. Read more

THE HOTEL/ROOM: My wife and I stayed a couple weeks at this location. We would definitely stay again but the hotel is dated. The desk staff were friendly and all spoke English well. Our early check out was made a bit odd/difficult by the fact that the desk is not manned between 11pm- 7am. However, after talking to the deskman, a solution to our problem […] was found. The room itself (studio) was small but functional; having a tiny kitchenette literally in a small closet, a table big enough for two chairs, closet and drawer space for clothing, a double bed, a small bathroom, and a dorm-sized fridge. A couple notable positive aspects of the room were the high ceilings and the large outer windows that let plenty of natural light into the space. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided. However, there is no "do not disturb" option,and the cleaning staff will show up early. There were a couple negatives about the hotel including the putrid smell emanating somewhere from within our bathroom since day one, the shower pressure was a literal trickle unless the hot and cold knobs were repeatedly turned up, and there was always the possibility of being burnt by the water (which would come to a boil in the sink and shower if the hot water knob was turned up enough). There was also a small leak in the hot water heater, which was above the kitchenette, and subsequently dripped brown water onto the cabinet and sink. It never got very cold in the room, but one could not turn the heat above 64 F, which led to a bit of a chill at night. LOCATION: The location of the hotel was pretty good. It's not in the middle of everything, which is actually kind of nice, but it's close enough to transportation in order to get around pretty easily. It's fifteen minutes walk from the Cipro metro station and the vatican walls. The 913 and 999 bus stops are right across the street (which one can take right to central Rome). There is a tobacconist nearby which you can purchase metrobus tic Read more

This place was old and full of character, so best not expect an American-style Hotel. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful, and it was located within a short walk to the Vatican museums and the Metro. Overall a great experience!

What an enjoyable and pleasant property.....convenient to public transportation, markets, cafe, restaurants, etc. The staff was extremely polite and VERY helpful with questions, directions, and transportation arrangements to the airport and around the city. Would love to spend time here again sometime.

The Villa Tassoni gave us a very nice 2 room apartment. One room was a bedroom and the other was both bedroom and dining area, with TV and a small kitchen attached. It enabled us to bring in drinks and breakfast makings so we could save on one meal of the day. The staff was very nice and tried their best to help us any time we needed them. Our adapters […] did not fit their electrical sockets and they lent us one. Although the apartment had air conditioning, and was set to 18 degrees celsius, it never cooled down to anywhere near 18. Rome is so hot in August that opening the windows did not help. The bathroom shower had a half door that did not keep the floor from becoming flooded when we held the shower head or mounted it in its holder. The local buses stopped right across the street, making it very easy to ride to the local Metro station and have easy access to all of Rome or get close to the Vatican. Overall, we would heartily recommend Villa Tassoni any time other than August. Read more

Everything about this hotel worked well for us except the shower. No matter how hard we tried, the bathroom flooded and ran out onto the bedroom floor. The very small partition on half of the tub just did not work for us.

All furniture are old, taps in the bathroom have ugly view. Bed in the bedroom - wire matress. Owner of this hotel shold spent money for renovation. I would recomment to book only if you need a kitchen.

The location of this hotel is far away from all touristic atractions unless you do need to be by the Vatican Area. It is located in a very noisy street, so your sleep can be interrupted several times during the night.The air conditioner is a joke, it was not working on a day of extreme heat. People from the front desk take breaks and the front desk […] could be close anytime. In many ocassions I needed information and it was closed with no sign of will be back at this time. Not very clean, so for me and my husband it is not a comeback hotel. Read more

Large room with view of a lovely neighborhood full of old villas. Outside, terrace and stairwells are charming, but the room didn't match. It was, however, very spacious. The kitchen wasn't well-equipped enough to cook in, but it was nice to have a few kitchen items and a fridge. It was great to have access to the small laundry room (w/small cost per […] load). They will give you a cord for the internet in the room, which was convenient. We were able to walk to the Vatican Museums and shop at the open markets for several of our meals. Couple of room issues that didn't bother us too much: Leaky air-conditioner (but cold!), very small shower, slightly hard mattress. Great value for the price! Read more

If you enjoy walking, this is the hotel to choose for your stay in Rome. It is close to the Metro, but also within walking distance from the Vatican (maybe 20 minutes). In fact, we walked to the Coloseum, the Pantheon, and back--it took maybe 6-7 hours (including dinner and several stops for sightseeing). Without the stops, you could walk to the Coloseum […] and back in just a few hours. Highly recommended. Read more

The Villa Tassoni is a lovely place to stay. The location was excellent being near The Vatican and on the bus line, close to a Metro stop. Carlo, the Concierge, was very helpful, friendly, and extremely gracious. The room was very clean, with a well-supplied kitchenette and a refrigerator which we appreciated. In the immediate neighborhood there are […] many fruit stands, cafes and some excellent restaurants at reasonable prices as well as lovely shops for clothing and quality merchandise. this is primarily a residential neighborhood with many apartments and villas. We felt very safe here walking at night--many people out and about. A stay here would be improved with a more comfortable bed, but if I were in Roma again, we would certainly stay here again.

The hotel was clean and comparatively spacious for the rate. The shower was very poorly constructed, with a glass door that only covered half of the tub, making it almost impossible to shower without getting water on the floor. Also, this was the single most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on in my life, and that includes a cot I set up in a teepee […] for three months. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Based on the rates for hotel rooms in Rome this place was reasonable, but there are, of course, tradeoffs. One is location. You can either walk the eight blocks down to the Metro, or wait for the bus. For someone that walks a lot, it is within reasonable walking distance to the Vatican. The bed was poor and the room nothing to shout about, but I've […] been in worse. The highlight of the place is a patio, where the smokers go, but I rarely saw any and if you leave yourself time to relax, it's a great little place to read or just kick back. There are lots of little restaurants within easy walking distance, but you have to improvise for breakfast, if you eat more than sweet rolls and coffee becasue there are no places that serve an American style breakfast. They do provide a small fridge and minimalist kitchen. There was no light by the bed, just the overhead, so if you get up at night, bring a small flashlight. Read more

The hotel itself seemed pretty nice and the neighborhood was okay. It was quite a bit farther from the metro line than we would have liked. The room was huge with a great balcony view; however, the bathroom was so small and not clean ( i.e. quite a bit of mold due to the lack of ventilation/fan). The service from the staff was okay, but not outstanding. […] It wasn't worth the price we paid for it and we would not stay here again. Read more

The hotel staff all speak English and are polite and helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect: being walking distance to the Vatican and close to the metro. Except for the bathroom which is very narrow in shape and makes it a little difficult to use, everything in the suite is excellent and kept in a clean condition.

Had all the conveniences I needed to enable me to eat breakfast or dinner in. It was a bit noisy, especially in the evening, but I was still able to sleep. I felt safe in the neighborhood and there were good buses. Of course, I used the Metro. The hike uphill in the evening was often rough since I was already tired. However, I needed the exercise. I […] would recommend this hotel for people who know Rome and want to be active. As a note, the shutlle service picked me up almost on time. However, it was very late leaving the city. He also left us at Terminal 3 which meant that we had to take another bus to get to our departure Termina. That was not explained to anyone in advance. Traffic is bad in Rome, but I think something could be done to explain better to travelers. Read more

Although this "hotel" is located near Vatican city, that is the only thing to recommend it. The bed was a rollaway bed and very uncomfortable, there was no comfortable furniture in the "living room", the kitchen was a joke and barely big enough to turn around in and the appliances were ancient. It was impossible to take a shower without getting water […] all over the floor and there was mold and mildew from floor to ceiling. We had to get the desk clerk to come to the room to give us instructions on how to get the room door open because it takes "just the right wrist action" to get the door open. The pictures on line are very deceiving. Staying in a "villa" sounds very appealing, but STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE! Read more

Stayed 5 nights in May 2011, mostly for events at the Vatican plus general Rome sightseeing. Hotel very plain, hard beds, housekeeping did not do dishes or replace dirty towels. Location a 1 mile walk (uphill at the end of the day) north of Vatican Museums, so the opposite direction from other sightseeing, not so convenient for dropping off packages […] or an afternoon nap. Next time would choose a quainter place nearer the Vatican or central old city. Read more

Even though the hotel is a clean place to be at the beds were VERY SOFT not good for those that need a harder bed when having back issues. The springs were completely worn out. Other than that it was pretty comfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was spotlessly clean; our room was large with a huge patio out front; the staff was knowledgable and helpful. The main complaint is the location -- in a nice residential area but too far from the "action" for me to recommend highly. It is less than a mile from the Vatican Museum, true!, but much further to get to St. Peter's. You can eat up […] a lot of cash on cabs (we were a family of 4). Nice little cafe down the street; produce and wine across the corner. If we go back to Rome, we will choose a location further in. would have been nice to have something to look at from the lovely large patio! Read more

This is a great hotel! The people who work here are amazing! They have a good sense of humor and are very helpful. After a long and stressful morning of arriving to Rome they made us laugh and definitely helped us get situated to go off into the city. The rooms are very nice. I stayed in a junior suite and the downstairs had a bed that could also be […] used as for seating during the day, a very small but useful kitchenette hidden behind sliding doors, table, and an armoir with some pots and pans. The upstairs had a small terrace, bathroom and bedroom. It was great having 2 levels, the bed was super comfortable (believe me, after running around Rome all day this was a very important feature) and the terrace was a complete surprise! The hotel is located near Vatican City, but I would say it's more of a 20 minute walk then 10. However this worked out well because the street was not noisy at night. The walk is not bad and the directions to get there are very very easy- the hotel just happens to be located farther up on one of the main roads which is why it's a longer walk. Also, there is a bus stop close by that you can take to the Vatican or the city center. I was extremely pleased with this hotel and would stay here next time I travel to Rome!!! Read more

The shower was rendered unusable by a swinging glass door that made stepping in and out of the tub dangerous. The beds were uncomfortable and they will not let you use the house computer to look up anything that you need, so bring your own computer. This is not a hotel, it is a furnished apartment with cleaning service, very clean. No amenities. Not […] even a clock in the rooms. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet, but not near anything a tourist would enjoy, except the Vatican. I personally would choose the other side of town next time; it was way too quiet for a fun vacation and all the tour buses are on the other side of town as well, which meant a public bus ride or expensive taxi ride across town each and every day to see things. Not great for a vacation. Very few amenities! Read more

Sayed 4 nights in April. Good location, a bit of a walk or ride on bus/metro but worth being a little outside of the most touristy areas for resturants are a little cheeper and can find 2 grocery stores within walking distance. Great to have a refrigerator and little cook-top and sink, eating out in Rome is quite expensive and can get a little old after […] a while. Bus 913 runs right outside the hotel and takes you to the vatican metro stop, or about 20min walk to St. Peter's. Only 2 small complaints, the bed is quite hard but after walking and touring all day it didn't matter much, and the hot water will only last one very quick shower, but 30 min later it will be ready to go again. Room had balcony and overlooked little garden area that could be used by the residents. Would stay there again, area felt very safe even walked a little after dark, no problems at all even a little pub down the street, a resturant, flowershop, mini-market, and espresso shop a little further down.
