Residenza di Ripetta - Rome

The hotel, room, staff and especially the included breakfast buffet were top notch and alone worth the trip. We were there for only two full days but they were a great two days. Day one was a walking tour through the city past the Trevi Fountain down to the Coliseum. This was a very easy walk from Residenza di Ripetta and the hotel consierge detailed […] the best route to take to see the most sights especially the shopping and dining. Of course Day two was the walking tour to Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel. These two tours are nearly beyond words to discribe. Both were within easy walking distance from the hotel and the local sights, sounds and tastes were too good to pass up. The shopping on both tours was beyone compare. We LOVED it. Read more

We ended up in this hotel at last moment because of booking problem with our previous one-- Did not book previous one through Expedia--Hotel´s common areas have all been redone and are very pretty, rooms have not. They are comfortable and very large but in need of a facelift. Towels sheets, pillows were good. Excellent location! Service was good. Internet […] service terrible but when complained was taken off my bill. Included breakfast was good and dinner in the restaurant excellent. Would definitely recommend to families. Read more

I loved the location of the hotel. Your breakfast was great. I did not like the internet service. I run a business and I needed good internet service. You staff had a hard time explaining to me how to get on the internet. I would not stay at your hotel if the internet service did not improve. Also, the food in the restaurant was way too expensive and […] not very good. Read more

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! Location is perfect, room was actually a suite. Breakfast was wonderful, staff were incredibly helpful and concierge was well informed and booked things for us. We liked hotel so much we returned a few weeks later, and although our second room was not as huge as the first, it still was more than comfy. To add some […] additional perks: the garden area in the middle is a wonderful place for drinks and since it was warm, breakfast. towels, etc. were top quality; bed firm and comfortable. All in all a wonderful hotel. Read more

Nice location, friendly staff and a nice garden. But that's it! Pedestrian street, you have to carry your bags for at least one block Small rooms, dirty carpet, air conditioner is noisy and does not work properly In the morning the shower did not had hot water bathroom lights don't work Does not deserve the star rating or the price you pay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very friendly and happy staff, lovely and comfortable room with a balcony that looked over the charming garden where we ate breakfast every morning. The breakfast was as good as buffets go - scramble eggs, bacon, sausage and the other bread and cheeses that come along with a buffet. WiFi in lobby free of charge - very large sitting areas that were comfy. […] Location was within walking distance to Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and 5 min taxi ride to Coliseum and The Vatican. Great little local restaurants and shopping close by. Wonderful little hotel with everything one would need or want. Read more

Love this hotel...Perfect location for Spanish steps, Trevi and Pantheon. Hotel staff and breakfast were great. Wifi was in and out . Room was large with lower seating area and upper bedroom very clean

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I would definitely stay at this hotel again. The room was clean and roomy, especially for a European hotel. The location was perfect; we walked every where - Vatican, Spanish steps, forum, coliseum - but we are very active. The staff was absolutely great. We knew almost no Italian and we communicated with the staff entirely in English without any difficulties. […] The breakfast buffet was excellent and the outdoor/courtyard bar was fantastic! Plus there are plenty of bars and restaurants withins walking distance. There were only two small issues. The water pressure in the shower was a little weak and the lighting in the room was very dim. But those were very minor issues. Also, if you like hard mattresses, you'll be pleased. Read more

Hotel location is excellent. Several very good restaurants in close proximity. Room was large but very dark. Only one lamp in seating area making it difficult to read. Sofa and chair in this area very uncomfortable. Bathroom had a very low ceiling making it difficult for a 6ft man to stand straight up while shaving. Information on how things worked […] in the room missing. Public areas were very pleasant and included Breakfast was ample. Some staff were very helpful others standoffish. Think I would try another hotel next time. Read more

Great location, nice sightseeing areas , restaurants etc.

This was a nice hotel that was centrally located to all sites within walking distance. There are delicious restaurants located nearby as well as convenient shopping, too. We had the breakfast buffet included which was a great, energy, added bonus. On days when we went to an early tour, we even had a breakfast box prepared for us, that was a great treat […] and helped boost our energy on early days. The hotel staff was accommodating and friendly. They were helpful and warm, too and always greeted us with a smile and a hello bonjourno). Thehotel restaurant was adequate, food was good, service was excellent. The gardens outside for eating were so beautiful, making the atmosphere warm, peaceful and comfortable. The hotel was clean, lobby, hallways, restaurant and our room, too. We had a beautiful junior suite with a comfortable king sized bed. All in all, the hotel was a wonderful pick! Read more

The suite was a very nice room, and very spacious. Th elocation of the hotel is excellent and within walking distance to most of the city attractions. Their AC system is terrible and is behind the curtains. Therefore, room temprature during my July stay was unbearable. They gave me a fan when I complained but it did not make much of a difference.

The rooms are a little dated, but overall very large. The courtyard area is very nice and relaxing. The staff was very helpful. The lobby is beautiful. We would recommend the hotel to friends.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a lovely hotel...but does need some TLC. The staff was so kind and helpful. The location was amazing...and that makes it so much easier to get to the different sites around Rome. The carpet was really disgusting. Things like that do bother me....but it may not bother other people. We had trouble trying to get wireless internet on our laptop. […] We even paid the fee...which was 18 euros for 24 hours. We did inform them of this...but the issue never did get resolved...which was o.k. with us...we were busy all day site-seeing. It would of been nice to refund that fee back to us. I thought the hotel was very expensive for the quality of the facility. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a fairly good size. The breakfast buffet is really nice too. It's very charming...but the carpets need a good cleaning. Read more

This was my first time in Rome or Italy, and before I booked this hotel, we've asked people around and we got all positive feedbacks, so we booked and it was truely great! I love the setting, the decor and the location of course, we are in the center of everything! The reason of overall rating 4 was just because the parking was too expensive, of course […] you may say it locates at the very best location. So after all I love this hotel and the price is reasonable too! Read more

We loved the location. You can walk everywhere and great restaurants very close to hotel. Staff was wonderful. Room was very tight. Not enough room to sit at the table. The bathroom was very narrow with limited space for toiletries. Hairdryer was fair.

Wow! We can't brag enough about this hotel. In no way did it deel like your usual hotel experience. They were all so inviting and extremely helpful. Our check-in and check-out with Angelo was flawless, and they worked really hard to get us an early check-in so we could get to our tour without worrying about our bags. Ervin waited on us in the lovely […] outside dining area, and was very accomodating. The free breakfast was unbelievable! I have NEVER had such a choice of delicious and healthy foods for a "continental" breakfast. Best EVER! When we get back to Rome, there is no other place we would think about staying. I will tell everyone I know who goes to Rome they have to stay there. Thanks to all the staff for a lovely stay. Read more

This hotel was pretty nice for European standards....The breakfast buffet was amazing....the best out of all 3 Italian hotels we stayed at. Great customer service.

We loved the Residenza di Ripetta Hotel as it was clean, convenient and very provincial. The courtyard was beautiful and the breakfast was the best we've had in Italy so far. Our only complaint was concerning the air-conditioning. We had it on full strength and it barely came up. I guess these older building can only provide so much comfort. We hate […] to open the windows since there are no screens in Italy. But overall it was a great hotel. The staff were very helpful and there 24-7. Read more

Great hotel, great location. Rooms were very comfortable, great shower/bath tub, twice a day cleaning service. 10 to 20 min. walking distance from most popular attractions in Rome. Breakfast was great, served in a beautiful courtyard in the middle of the hotel. Only complaint was the air condition which was working but not very well. We happen to have […] great weather in Rome and the breeze from open windows was enough to cool the room. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Read more

My best friend and I started our Italy adventure by staying at the Residenza di Ripetta and it was amazing from the start. Angelo and Franco were extremely helpful at the concierge desk.

The hotel was in a great spot close […] enough to walk to day and night activities. The rooms were spacious and clean. Also the continental breakfast was fantastic!

We were delighted with Residenza di Ripetta. It was a lovely hotel on a beautiful, quiet street a block from Piazza del Popoplo. We could walk to restaurants, shops, the Villa Borghese, or to get a taxi. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff attentive, the breakfast good. We would stay there again! The only downside was that they were working […] on the courtyard, so we couldn't use it. Read more

The hotel itself was in a great location... very close to the Spanish steps, and tons of great small restauants really close by. The restaurant right across the street, Ria di Ripetta (I think) was amazing =). The hotel lobby looked nice, but the rooms were very dated. The bathroom seemed newer than that rest of the room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a good hotel well located. Two blocks from Metro station and Piazza dei Popolo. Breakfast buffet and room was ok. Air condiotioner was not functioning properly according to the hot weather.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was easy to find by following the directions for the Leonardo Express and the subway. The neighborhood was fine, right near the Plaza del Popolo which always had something going on. There were plenty of restaurants and lots of shopping in walking distance. We have a family of 5 so it turned out to be less expensive for us to get a taxi van […] to go back to the airport (and much easier than carrying our suitcases up and down the subway stairs). Make sure you go to the Vatican--it's awesome! Read more

This hotel is in the northern town of central Rome, walking distance to everything. Piazza di Popolo is a block away with nice restaurants and great ambiance. The courtyard in the hotel is great. Staff is friendly but don't go the extra mile. Reception open 24 hours. We'd absolutely go back. But we'd make sure to bring a fan :)

Would definitely come back and recommend to others. Value for money. Staff extremely helpful. Loved outdoor area!

Main concern was the room .....it was tired and needs refreshing. Walls marked, carpets dirty. And there was no coffee/tea facility in the room contrary to what was advised on the Hotels.com website. However it was in a great location for seeing Rome's attractions. The hotel's public areas are first class and the staff very helpful.

Very clean, very comfortable and excellent staff. Good location with very little traffic noise. We had an excellent stay.

When we arrived the hotel upgraded our room so we were very pleased straightaway. The staff were extremely helpful in providing information and recommending places to see. The last night the hotel had a Halloween party which was directly below our room - it was very noisy but the hotel were very accomodating in offering us another room, coming to the […] party or having complimentary drinks - we took the complimentary drinks which certainly helped!! The location of this hotel is very central allowing us to walk to all the sights or if getting a taxi always costing less than 10 Euros.

The hotel exceeded our expectations - in a first class position near the Piazza di Popolo. Good sized room (if a little tired) but this did not detract from the rest of the hotel which was stunning. Good breakfast included and wonderful garden area with bar and restaurant for warmer days. Would return again

Generally we enjoyed the hotel,but some furnishings are a little tired. There were late night functions on 2 nights with loud music,which also meant w e couldn't have used the bar had we wanted to.

Excellent location, desk staff very helpful. Garden area welcome respite at the end of a busy day. Breakfast choice very good.

Visiting Rome for the first time with my children, aged 11 and 7, I purposefully chose a hotel which was situated in an area within reasonable walking distance of the key sites, and the location of this hotel cannot be faulted. The reception we received was not ideal, although the staff were pleasant enough. We arrived an hour before our room was ready […] to check-in and although our luggage was taken care of we were handed a map of the city and basically invited to wander around the local area until the room was ready; traveling with two children since the early hours it would have been appreciated had we been shown to an area within the hotel where we could have relaxed, taken refreshments and informed as to when our room would be ready instead of lurking around the local vicinity! Having booked a Executive Junior Suite I was disappointed with the tired furnishings, the dingy appearance and stained carpets. The room however was clean and the housekeeping staff cannot be faulted. I am aware the rooms are undergoing renovation so I should imagine if you are accommodated in one of the newer rooms. In conclusion the positive aspects of this hotel by far outweigh the negative. The location is ideal. Every street is a little treasure trove of history, food and culture and regardless of whether we return to this hotel, there is no doubt we will return to Rome! Read more

Very old building with old interior, it is spacious and comfortable for family of four. But very haunted feeling, very dark, big and quite. We felt depressed inside that big room, actually it is split into two floor that makes it as an apartment.

The front desk staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, they completely made our stay and the location was fanatastic - walking distance to all the central sites.
