Relais Teatro Argentina

Super value for a boutique hotel 5 minutes from the Pantheon. The owner, Paulo, was a wonderful and interesting to talk with host. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and the AC was cold. We had one small issue with our room, after hours, and he quickly came to check it out. We also received a discount by paying in Euros and the bank ATM was just steps away.

We stayed four nights in May 2024, and Relais Teatro Argentina had been highly recommended to us. We found the hotel to be a pleasant stay in a top-notch location right by Torre Argentina. The building is a charming old palazzo with a ton of character, beautiful vintage furnishings, and large spacious rooms. For the location alone, I'd say this place is worth it. Paolo, the owner, and the staff onsite were very helpful and lovely, full of suggestions of places to visit and things to do in Rome. Overall it was a good experience. Note that there were a few drawbacks, though. For one thing, the old building is a bit run-down and in need of maintenance. The shower only ever got tepid or lukewarm, never hot. The tap in the sink wasn't working properly, and the toilet ran constantly. Two of the four days, our room wasn't made up, for some reason. And the price, given that breakfast was not included, was on the high side, made worse by the fact that they insisted on payment in cash despite having signs out front that credit cards are accepted (and despite Italian laws that require them to accept cards for purchases above a certain amount). We had to waste a couple of hours looking for ATMs to withdraw large amounts of cash, and pay high conversion fees, which added to the price of the room. Then they tried to ask us to go BACK to the ATM to withdraw even more cash to pay the city tax. Whether the hotel owners are trying to evade taxes or simply cut down on banking fees on their end, I think it's pretty egregious to pass this along to the customer, especially given the prices. If I were to return to Rome, I probably would not stay here again.

Great stay, with an excellent friendly staff! close to many touristic attractions and quiet neighborhood in the evenings.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and offered an intimate and hospitable environment. We arrived early and the staff were able to arrange an early check in so we could get some much needed sleep following our overnight flight. The location was fantastic for sight seeing, and had great food and shopping in the immediate area. The building itself is old and has a lot of character. I know others complained there is not a lift, but frankly if this is a problem for you, you should consider skipping Rome altogether because it is a big and ancient city with many hills and stairs, which require significant walking and climbing. Our only slight complaint is there was very little hot water for showering, and it was basically a 50/50 chance, regardless of the time of day, that your shower would be hot. Other than that minor issue, we really enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend the Relais Teatro Argentina.

Excellent location. The staff was very helpful! Would stay here again!

Went with a group of 9 friends for the Ryder cup. Made to feel very welcome. Super helpful staff who couldn’t have done any more for us and very clean room. Great location right in the city centre. Breakfast was great on a lovely little terrace. Highly recommend

What a beautiful break we have just had, 5 nights in Rome and so central. This is our 2nd visit to Rome but we found being so central you can do so much more In our opinion we loved our hotel (42 steps up, but your going to do more than that each day) Paolo was so helpful Thomas and his wife kept the place spotless and always so kind serving us breakfast We loved our room we loved our stay Thank you team

Our family of 11 stayed for four nights at the Relais Teatro Argentina and enjoyed our stay immensely. There are six beautifully decorated rooms. Staff were thoughtful, helpful, communicative, and patient with the four children in our group. The attention to cleanliness was stellar and appreciated. The rooms were unexpectedly beautiful (my son in law who is 6’7” was particularly in awe of the height of the ceilings), spacious, and the temperature (air conditioning unit in each room) very comfortable. Breakfasts were served on the balcony or in the room and were delicious (something for everyone). Some days we came in early and some days late, but it was always with a feeling of safety and knowing that place we had chosen exuded a touch of elegance and much quality. The location is within walking distance of everything we wanted to see in Rome. We recommend the Relais to anyone who may visit Rome and wants to see the city by walking or by bus. It was a perfect spot, and given the high quality of the hospitality, our stay in Rome lives on in our memories as a "trip of a lifetime"!
