Hotel Ripa Roma

"We stayed in one of the suites from the 22nd to the 26th of February. We had the most amazing time. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely and the room was outstanding with a fantastic terrace, it was so big with beautiful views. The tram is literally around the corner which is so handy. I cannot praise the hotel enough and the reception staff are happy to book taxis for you whenever you need them. Thank you hotel Ripa Rome, we will be back 😁."

"Hotel Ripa Roma, in Trastevere. It’s a beautiful, modern and clean hotel. Superior double room with a small balcony. Large room, clean lines, modern and minimalist style that I love. 24 hours’ reception services. Welcoming reception team and helpful with requests. Daily housekeeping services. Mini bar is stocked daily. Lift access. Quiet location. Local Roman community. Safe neighbourhood. Hot food and good selection of continental breakfast - self-services buffet. I recommend caffe macchiato. Tram services within 2 minutes walking distance from this hotel. Number 8 tram (12 stops) direct to Colosseum. Number 3 tram to Plazza Venezia and from there walking distance to Centre Storico (Trevi / Piazza Navona / Campo Di Fiori, Via Di Corso, Piazza Di Spagna). Galleria Borghese requires further walk from Plazza Venezia. Tram 3 is about 3 stops and then a short 5 minutes walk to the heart of Trastevere tourist centre, to Piazza Di Santa Maria or is 17 walks with Google or CityMapper or 20 minutes on foot if you prefer to take a slower pace. Vatican City required 2 connections and over an hour. Hotel is within 20 minutes by taxi services to the Vatican City and at the time of writing it was £15 - a birthday treat to myself being on this day for Vatican Museums/ Sistine Chapel / Vatican Garden, St Peter’s Basilica with 9am start. Trastevere is a big area with shopping centres on both sides. Wine bar and restaurant on site and is welcoming to all, it’s family friendly and solo traveller too. The manager and the team of barista sang Happy Birthday to me bringing a cheesecake with one candle and we toast free shots : “Salute!” Grazie mille a tutti per il tuo aiuto e pazienza con mi povero italiano! 3>"

"The staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The communal areas were ok although could do with a freshen up. The lifts were tiny and old, made us wonder how wheelchair users manage as the lifts would be way too small. We liked the Trastevere area, lovely piazza and restaurants. But our standard quad room was weirdly laid out. No shortage of space but it wasn’t maximised. They have a comfortable king sized bed in a wooden central core which doesn’t reach the ceiling so you can’t watch the TV whilst the kids sleep without disturbing them. The other bed was a really uncomfortable sofa bed, why a sofa bed would be in the room when there is plenty of space for a second double is a mystery, I can’t see anyone actually wanting to hang out on the sofa. The table and chairs were redundant as no kitchenette so also a waste of space. Most of the electrical sockets had been capped off leaving only two which weren’t next to either bed. Only 2 main lights plus one bed side light had a bulb in it. The carpet was tatty and worn. The bath had black mould around it. Just all a bit old and dated. We were really disappointed but arrived late and so didn’t ask to move rooms as we needed to sleep. I wouldn’t stay again."
