Lovely stay that I'll happily repeat
Pros:

I traveled to Trastevere with my family to attend an academic conference. The staff were so warm and welcoming. They communicated with me a few days before departure to prepare me for checkin, which made traveling into Trastevere so easy. The room was spacious, quiet, clean, and cool, especially considering the heat wave the city was experience. The staff cleaned are room everyday! I know others mentioned it, but the intentionality of maintaining a clean welcoming space was so amazing after a long, hot day walking around. We were even greeted with complimentary wine! This was especially nice since our schedules didn't allow us to make it to Fabullus. The location is ideal for walking to so many major attractions. The restaurants, cafes, and piazzas nearby were fun to explore as well. We will happily stay here again! Thank you all for a lovely stay.

Hidden gem in Trastevere
Pros:

I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel! The staff were friendly from the beginning. We were going to be arriving late and they made sure we had all the info needed for a self check in. As far as location, you couldn’t be in a better spot. Trastevere has so many good restaurants all within walking distance from the hotel. You’re not too far from the big sites either. A huge plus having stayed in July was the air conditioning. It worked great and kept our room cool which was a welcome respite from the heat outside. I would totally stay here again next time I’m in Rome!

Brilliant hotel
Pros:

Very beautiful hotel in the heart of Travestere but away from the crowds and noise. The hotel staff couldn’t do enough for us and were very responsive even during their out of office hours. If we go back to Rome, we’ll definitely be staying here again.

Pros:

Ubicación cercano a los principales atractivos turísticos de Roma. Barrio tranquilo y seguro.

Cons:

Nos enviaron a un departamento y no al hotel que suponíamos habíamos contratado. Si bien la ubicación del departamento no estuvo mal, la publicación no fue clara en informar que el departamento estudio era en un barrio diferente al del hotel, al que justamente habíamos elegido por el lugar en el que estaba. Además, fue una complicación para dejar las valijas desde el check out hasta la hora de salida de nuestro tren.

Great Stay
Pros:

Had a wonderful stay at Residenza San Callisto. The staff were all very kind, genuine, and accommodating and the hotel itself is spacious (our 2nd story room was) and comfortable. It’s more of a BnB so not a true chain hotel, but it makes the experience much better that way. It’s also in a fantastic location within Trestavere.

Excellent base for family trip, but would also stay with friends
Pros:

Excellent base for family trip to Rome. We were there for 3 nights in the middle of Italian holiday. The room was spotless and the beds were really comfortable. Our kids are 13 and 11 and the bunks were perfect and would accommodate adults too. Plenty of space, including a wardrobe and changing area with plug sockets as you enter the room, meaning we werent on top of each other getting ready. The location was perfect, near bars and restaurants and lovely atmosphere at night. Despite this, our room was so quiet and we all slept great. Our room overlooked the internal courtyard area so was quite dark on first impressions, but actually we were glad of it to escape the heat of the day. The air con worked really well too. We loved it and will stay again, its a find. I shpuld also add that we felt really safe in the neighbourhood with our kids too.

Amazing spot and staff
Pros:

Loved the friendly helpful staff.
Loved the location.
Loved the homey vibe.
Will recommend this place to anyone travelling to Rome.

Cons:

The shower. Took an age to heat and only lasted a minute before going ice cold. No water pressure. Lucky we were in a heatwave and the cool shower was fine but would be an issue for guests in colder months.

Pros:

Our stay was amazing! We had four of us and whilst it was a tight squeeze it was perfect for us! The location was superb, 5 min walk from a supermarket, and 15-20 from all the wonderful sights of Rome, the location also allowed us to come and go throughout the day to beat the heat. The staff were wonderful, so polite and accomodating, also terrific in helping us organise transfers. Would highly recommend 😊
