I wish I could have stayed longer.
Pros:

The property is beautiful. I loved the rooms and common areas. We stayed during the heat wave, and the room was very cool.

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 😊

Residenza San Calisto Review!
Pros:

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The room was clean and comfortable. We loved having a wash machine as well. The staff could not have been nicer and incredibly helpful as well, especially helping us with taxis and drivers. I would highly recommend staying at Residenza San Calisto. It’s in an awesome location too, next to a lot of restaurants, shops, and cool architecture.

Our experience in Rome was made very special and our accommodation supported this.
Pros:

Clear instructions and communication between host and guests. Transport from airport was incredible and well worth the cost as this took out all stress from airport to hotel.
The location was amazing, easy to access all parts of Rome and Trastevere is an incredible place in Rome.
Our rooms were cleaned daily and nothing was too much trouble.
Would not stay anywhere anywhere else when we return to Rome.

Cons:

Nothing
