Ripa Hotel

Better furniture in rooms

Breakfast service was great for the first 4 days. Next 2 mornings it was a little mess. People in the hotel were great - reception, services, everything went superbly. Hotel is close to the tram stop which goes directly to the city center.

We were staying in the non-renovated room but it was OK. The kitchen in the room doesn´t make sense. There were missing doors on the freezer in the fridge.

Location and the rooms - spacious and good design.

No bar to enjoy a late drink. Breakfast was a little disapointing specially if you arrive towards the end of service. Rather small bathroom.

The friendliness of the staff and their readiness to provide assistance, as well as the design of the rooms. The location was a plus too.

The mini bar should include a greater variety of drinks; I found my room rather dark; the door of the shower allowed water to come out causing a mess every time I took a shower; the air condition was rather noisy; the lifts were quite slow.

Once we were settled it was a decent hotel. Breakfast was quite nice. The breakfast bag on the final morning was helpful. The bed was comfortable. It's about a half hour walk from the Colosseum.

When we arrived (15 mins before check in) we were made to wait 45 minutes before we were given our room key. We found our room to be completely uncleaned and with twin beds when we had requested a double. We were late for a tourist booking and so had to leave all of our gear in reception while they sorted it out. Not a good welcome after traveling 10 hours. We received a new room with a double bed, but not an apology or recognition of fault. The rooms seem to be converted from student flats, they have a stove but no tea or coffee facilities or pots or pans. It does seem to be somewhere designed more for businessmen.

Modern hotel. Large bedroom. Pleasant airy dining room - well presented for a good buffet breakfast. The reception staff were very helpful - recommended a restaurant to our specification and had an efficient and quick system to order taxis.

Didn't really have a bar - well you could get a drink from the breakfast area but it's not my idea of a cosy drink. Surrounding area was not very nice and not in the part of Trastevere where all the restaurants are.

enjoyed it but buffet breakfast could be more varied as it was the same food every day. The food was not always hot especially the scambled egg.

the directions to the hotel were a bit misleadi g.should state to cross the road when getting off the bus, then first left turn

The Hotel needed refurbishing. The room was large and badly decorated with wallpaper curling off the wall, chipped paintings and a threadbare carpet. It was dominated by a huge kitchenette which had no water, gas or electric and a wardrobe which cut off the bed from a passageway along the wall. All this led to a feeling of claustrophobia. The breakfast was of a poor standard. All of the other guests I spoke to stated the same about their stay.

The location

Booklet said there was a pool/spa but there wasn'T. Pictures were misleading as our room was most definitely not 4 star. There was never enough tables set for breakfast when we got down there at 10am. All tables were full of empty plates etc

we got an upgrade of the room. staff was very helpful, nice breakfast.

bathroom shower spilled over the bath tub, no matter in what position you put it, causing the carpet to be wet. curtain was not enough to hold back the water.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The service was excellent. A wonderful stay. I will book again without hesitation.

The hotel was perfect for what we wanted, perfect location, easy to get too and within walking distance for all restaurants and site seeing.
