The location is wonderful, right in the middle of Trastevere close to lots of restaurants, bars and still within walking distance to all the must see attractions in Rome. Great job Alessia and thank you for all your help.

Amazing central hotel with large rooms with Kitchenette and balcony for relaxing 😎
Pros:

Everything was amazing 🤩 recommend dining next door at Zrasa. Amazing restaurant.

Cons:

Car parking was very expensive nearby. We didn’t understand the signs and ended up paying €153 for 3 nights 🙁 do your research and park away from the hotel and get a cab or walk.

Book today- amazing and will sell out quickly!
Pros:

This was the best place that I stayed in Italy. The front desk service is impeccable with in person service and through WhatsApp before and during our stay. The rooms are quiet and clean, decorated in style, and the location cannot be beat. The exterior is also beautiful with bougainvillea and star jasmine vines- stunning! I stayed in the 1br apt. (No elevator however I was fine to carry my bags up two flights on wide staircase) and the king room with bunk beds- both wonderful.

For meals, I highly recommend Nannarella and Trattoria Sora Cencia (I must admit I ate three meals there- delicious and so welcoming to all size parties even when I was solo). Gelato at Fior di Luna is a superb place as well.

Please book this lodging today- you will not regret it!

Excellent Stay at Hotel Residenza San Calisto - Would Stay Here Again
Pros:

We had an excellent stay at Hotel Residenza San Calisto. Our 1-bedroom apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable and was amazingly quiet. Excellent location with many restaurants, cafes, and sights just a very short walk.

I'd like to especially note the extremely helpful front desk staff - leading up to our stay our plans changed a couple of times and the staff was most accomodating of our requests and unfailing polite and understanding. We really appreciated that! Thank You!

Would definitely stay here again.

Deceptive Avoid Avoid!
Pros:

Communication was good, given directions to the accommodation good

Cons:

We booked this accommodation specifically because the Booking.com listing was located in Trastevere. However, the room we were actually assigned was about a 12-minute walk away, across the river in the Jewish Quarter. While the host did send the correct address by email afterward, the listing itself is misleading and should have been a completely separate listing with the actual location clearly stated. Advertising it as being in Trastevere is completely deceptive.

The building itself is very old and the room is on the second floor with very little natural light, and no elevator, which may be difficult for guests with heavy luggage or mobility concerns.

The air conditioner was fairly weak, although this was manageable because the weather during our stay was pleasant. Unfortunately, several other comfort issues affected the experience: the water pressure was poor, the Wi-Fi connection was inconsistent and spotty, and the bed was extremely uncomfortable and lumpy.

Overall, the inaccurate location listing was the biggest disappointment, and combined with the room comfort issues, we would not recommend or stay here again.
