Pros:

Acomodação aconchegante e charmosa no bairro que tem uma energia única.

Cons:

Único ponto que poderia dizer é que não tem metrô próximo, mas tem ponto de táxi muito próximo e o centro histórico pela proximidade boa parte das maiores atrações é acessível a pé.

Really enjoyed our stay. Would stay again when returning to Rome.
Pros:

Room was lovely. Really clean and it was so quite. Really liked the little outdoor courtyard with water feature.
The location is exceptional right in the heart of Travestere and a stones throw from excellent bars and eating places.
The staff are fantastic. Really friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them.
Highly recommend this hotel if you want a peaceful oasis right in the heart of Travesterere.

Cons:

Nothing really. Some people might not like the lack of eating facilities on site but with so many places within a short walk to choose from this didn't matter to us.
PS. There is the wine cellar in the basement that does wine tasting/food but this does cost extra.

highly recommend
Pros:

We would highly recommend Residenza San Calisto. It's in the heart of Trastevere, steps away from the busier nightlife but tucked away on a quieter side street. We arrived later than expected but the self check in was super easy and convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming and Clean Hotel in a Great Rome Location
Pros:

This was a very clean and charming hotel in the Trastevere part of Rome. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and kind. The area has many smaller and medium sized restaurants and is well located on the west side of the Tiber river. A less crowded area, but very charming and full of great restaurants. The hotel was very clean, great A/C, a wonderful staff and a fair price.

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!
