Hotel Ripa Roma

"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."

"We stay here for three nights nice hotel clean room nice restaurant and bar great location. Two minutes walk from the hotel was the bus stops no3 and no8 .no3 too you to the colosseum and the no8 too you to near the treve fountain. The train station was about 15 to 20 mins walk from the hotel and there was a tirimisu shop 100 yard down the road"

"While it feels like this may at one time have been a fun, unique hotel, we did not have a nice stay. The rooms had a musky scent, which at times smelled almost like sewage. A lot of the fixtures showed signs of wear and tear, including the bathroom fixtures in particular (which were not very nice), and the room felt dark and under-furnished. Some elements (e.g., the curtains) were dirty. Power to our room went out briefly twice, potentially due to a loose power socket. The location was not particularly nice, but was convenient to central Rome. There was a decent cafe and restaurant on the ground floor and breakfast was good."
