Ripetta Rooms

Le foto su questo sito sono state filtrate e messe in scena. Questo nella migliore delle ipotesi è un ostello, non un hotel. Le camere sono piccole e non confortevoli. Siamo arrivati ​​alle 5:30 di sera. Abbiamo dovuto portare i bagagli su 2 rampe di scale. La persona che ci ha fatto il check-in, e ci ha fatto pagare la tassa in quel momento, in tutti gli altri hotel in cui ho soggiornato questo avviene al momento del check-out, ha lasciato l'edificio immediatamente una volta terminato poiché gli "orari della reception" sono 9: dalle 00:00 alle 18:00. Sfortunatamente per noi, la Ryder Cup si stava svolgendo a Roma e non siamo riusciti a trovare un altro posto dove alloggiare, altrimenti saremmo partiti. Fornisco immagini dell'ingresso, delle scale e dell'area della reception sempre vuota.

L'ingresso è sporco sporco. Così sporco che ho chiesto di vedere la mia stanza prima di trascinare la borsa su per i gradini. Non c'è ascensore. Le piastrelle del bagno avevano impronte di mani dappertutto come se non fossero mai state pulite e la zona doccia perdeva acqua ed era ammuffita. Nemmeno io ero per niente a mio agio nella location. Era buio e coperto di spazzatura. NON RESTARE QUI.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel because it is a block away from Piazza del Popolo from where our tour departed the next morning at 8. The car service from aiport was welcoming and efficient. The room was good size, well equipped, clean, and bathroom was small but well equipped, modern and clean. Bed was a bit hard for me but pillows were good. I loved looking out the window from our second floor to watch all the action on the street below. We ran into housekeeping who was very friendly and asked if we needed anything. Rosa was the young lady who checked us in. She texted a message to my cell so that I could reach out to her in case we needed anything. I did reach out a couple times and she immediately responded. She was very attentive. The common areas are a bit worn and could use some attention but this is an ancient building in the heart of Rome’s tourist attraction so understandable. Our room had all required. The restaurants are plentiful and nearby. Via Condotti, Spanish steps, Trevino fountain are all within easy walking distance. Also from the piazza del Popolo there are stairs to the villa borghese gardens with beautiful sunset view of the rooftops of Rome.

We were in Rome for business but came a couple days early to explore on our own, and chose Ripetta Rooms for it's location and the good reviews. The location indeed was great...quieter street (but you are in a city, so there is no such thing as a truly quiet place), easy access to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain...and more specifically, the meeting place of our tour which was just around the corner in the piazza. I saw many reviews complain about the rooms being dirty - all I can say is that our room was very clean along with the reception room. And yes, the room is small, but this is Europe and from my experience this room was a decent size compared to other truly tiny rooms we've stayed in. The shower was quite small, but again, Europe. What was truly tiny was the elevator (1 person and maybe 2 pieces of luggage). It was very much appreciated as we had many bags with us (long story) and got them up to level 2 and only had to carry them down 1 easy flight of stairs. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and the gelato shop around the corner is fantastic.
