When the driver dropped us off, we thought we were lost and narrow cobble stone streets lined our path. After asking for some directions in the best broken Italian we knew, we made a couple turns and we saw the gate. From there on in, we felt at home and safe in this amazing hotel! The staff is great and extremely helpful and the neighborhood of Travestere has the best food and is in perfect walking distance from everything. I will ONLY stay here in Rome.

We stayed for three nights in January. The hotel has a great location but you should be willing to walk! That will be the same for any hotel in Rome though. Clean room and very quiet location with nice restaurants. Would have liked tea and coffee making facilities in the room though. The staff were friendly and efficient but not obtrusive. Would certainly reccomend.

Delightful, charming hotel in Trastevere near Piazza Santa Maria. Our family of 5 loved the Senior Suite, with 2 single beds in the upstairs loft, and one double and one single downstairs. Very clean and comfortable, delicious buffet breakfast, lovely courtyard area and very quiet at night. We walked everywhere from here - to Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Colosseum, Trevi fountain and Spanish steps and our kids (14 year old son and twin 11 year old girls) did not once complain! Great choice of reasonably priced osterias and pizzerias nearby. Friendly and welcoming staff, particularly those who served the breakfast. Trastevere is the real Rome, full of character and not crowded with tourists. We would love to return to Hotel Santa Maria one day and would highly recommend.

Clean, centrally located, and with a great room for breakfast and afternoon snacks. Located in the Trastevere and within walking distance to everything that Rome has to offer. A quiet refuge in a bustling city. Clean and well attended. I would have stayed a month there.
