Great visit with family of 4
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Santa Maria in June 2026. We traveled with our family of four, including two kids. The hotel staff was kind, attentive and thoughtful. The room was perfect for our family and everyone had their own space. We would especially like to recognize Armando and the front desk staff who were incredibly responsive and supportive from the moment we booked the trip. They assisted us to get transportation, restaurant reservations, and more. Additionally Norman and the bar staff were awesome too! They were creative and thoughtful and made amazing drinks!

The hotel was a clean sanctuary in the middle of a lovely neighborhood - best of both worlds. We look forward to returning some day!

Loved it
Pros:

Loved our stay at Hotel Santa Maria. We loved being in Trastevere, the hotel itself was nice and quiet. It was refreshing to come back to air conditioning after hot days exploring Rome. The staff was very attentive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Kevin made us the best cappuccinos every morning. Would absolutely recommend this hotel.

A true gem in Trastevere
Pros:

What sets Hotel Santa Maria apart is its staff - so customer focused and personable. We were travelling as a family of four and had a junior suite. The hotel itself is a quiet sanctuary right in the heart of Trastevere which absolutely came alive particularly at night. It is maybe 30 metres from the main square. We were there during a hot spell and the air conditioning in the room was perfect. Breakfast under the orange trees was lovely and the coffee/coffee art was amazing. The staff really make you feel very welcomed. It is also behind a large gate and you need to get buzzed in - very safe.

Beautiful hotel, perfectly situated, would absolutely come back
Pros:

This lovely hotel is a jewel on Trastevere secluded but right in the heart of the action. The location felt super safe, the courtyard was charming, the breakfast and complimentary snacks during happy hour were lovely and the staff were so so helpful and really looked after us for our first stay in Roma

Cons:

There was nothing not to like

Beautiful hospitality!
Pros:

Wow! We just arrived exhausted from heat and overnight train from Vienna and they kindly offered us coffee, water and breads and had room ready for us (admittedly a triple) by 11:30. Molto gentile hosts - so so helpful and kind. We already LOVE it here and just got into our room!

Hidden Gem in Trastevere
Pros:

This hotel has ruined all expectations for any other hotel. Everything about it is spectacular. The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet, despite it being in the heart of Trastevere. You can't beat the location. It is minutes from the best restaurants. Breakfast and Happy Hour are phenomenal. Having cappuccinos and breakfast under the orange trees was the best way to start our day. But perhaps the best thing about it, is the service. The staff aims to please and will accommodate you with anything you need. No hotel has ever compared. I hope to return to ROME one day and this would be MY ONLY CHOICE! Our stay was unforgettable and I miss it so much already!

I would book the hotel again when in Rome. Worth every cent.
Pros:

Staff were wonderful and friendly; Breadcrumb, the cat, was a great Happy Hour greeter; and Kevin, the bartender, was wonderful. The breakfast was a mixture of Italian and American, making a happy medium for a kid. The hotel was also within walking distance of most attractions and close to the bus stop. The neighborhood was lively and had amazing food choices. The staff alone made it 5-star accommodations.

Cons:

Could hear the stupid birds throughout the night and in the morning.

Best place in Rome
Pros:

We stayed here 19 years ago and it was great. Now it’s better!! From the moment we arrived (at 830 am) staff takes complete care of everything. Adriano and Armonda at from desk could not be more helpful. Rooms are clean (typical Europe size) and courtyard is beautiful. Norman runs a great breakfast and his cousin Kevin takes over for Happy Hour and evening shift. I can’t say enough about all of the staff. Once you enter the gates it’s an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Stay here!

★★★★★ Absolutely Perfect Stay in Rome
Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Santa Maria for three nights in May 2026, and it was one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect.

The hotel itself is a peaceful oasis tucked inside the vibrant neighborhood of Trastevere. Step outside the gates and you’re surrounded by lively restaurants, bars, and endless things to see and do. Step back inside, and you’re transported to a serene courtyard filled with beautiful fruit trees, quiet pathways, and a sense of calm that feels worlds away from the busy streets.

Our room was extremely comfortable and provided the perfect place to relax after long days of exploring Rome. The included breakfast each morning in the courtyard was lovely, with fresh and delicious offerings served in a beautiful setting.

What truly made our stay exceptional, however, was the staff. Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, and attentive. A special thank you to Norman, whose morning cappuccinos were works of art. His personalized designs and messages each day brought a smile to our faces and started every morning perfectly. We also looked forward to seeing Kevin each evening during aperitivo. His service was outstanding and made every night feel special.

Speaking of aperitivo—it is not to be missed! The drinks are incredibly generous, and the buffet of hors d’oeuvres was fresh, abundant, and absolutely delicious. It quickly became one of our favorite parts of the day.

Hotel Santa Maria exceeded every expectation. The combination of the beautiful setting, comfortable accommodations, incredible staff, and perfect location made for an unforgettable stay. We loved it so much that we would return to Rome just for the opportunity to stay here again.

Highly, highly recommended!

Another fantastic stay
Pros:

We have stayed many times at hotel santa maria because it is a fantastic hotel you are right in the area of trastevere where all the restaurants are. A perfect base to explore Rome. The hotel is so quiet and is very clean. The staff are amazing. Especially Armando on reception he is so friendly and knowledgeable and very professional. Norman in the restaurant for breakfast was also amazing and friendly he does the best coffee art. Kevin in the bar in the evening was great and friendly they all made my husbands 60th birthday very special. We have visited Rome many times and the hotel santa maria is the only place we would stay .

The perfect hidden oasis in the heart of old town.
Pros:

The entire property was the cutest little oasis tucked away behind the walls of the old cloister. We could not have asked for a better place to explore everything that the Travestaverre had to offer? The service was impeccable and we have to give a personal shout out to Kevin for the greatest happy hour experiences. The rest of the staff were also amazing and I couldn’t recommend in strong enough terms that this is the place to stay in Rome.

Cons:

I will say I am more of a fluffy pillow girl but they solved that with multiple pillows!
