Ripa Hotel

This reviewer provided a score but did not have any comments

Good location, can walk everywhere if you want to, otherwise the No.8 Tram gets you into the heart of it very quickly. Breakfast is good if you're there early, not so much if you're near the end of service. But remember not to take the train into termini if you arrive at the airport. Go to Trastevere. But overall, you can do better than this.

The staff are generally rude and arrogant, and pretty unhelpful. Can we borrow an iron - no - what do we do then - put your shirts out in the morning for cleaning and ironing - but I need them tonight - sorry (insincerely), irons in rooms are unlawful. Come on, is this for real!

Close to my friends in Trastevere

The Ripa Hotel is an art hotel, the corridors, dining room, foyer and bar are decorated with very nice contemporary art (which is for sale as well). The hotel is situated in Transtevere, a very nice neighbourhood with good connection to both Transtevere station (with connection to Civitavecchia and Da Vinci airport) and the city center (by foot or tram).

Not all rooms are decorated in a design fashion manner, the cheaper rooms are more ordinary.

The staff at the front desk were very helpful and informative. Breakfast was great as well, and there was a lot of space in the room (room for lounges, etc).

We asked for a non-smoking room, but the air-conditioning brought in the smoke anyhow. We had our room changed, but the problem persisted.

the only thing i like is that its close to the train.

the room is soooo wierd, the hotel dosnt seem as it look on the web site, secary curtian, bad aircondtioing, not even one paint insid the hotel, wierd and small elevatour, briefly i won't go again for that hotel.

it was very friendly and clean .the breakfast was fresh and filling. the rooms were very spaciaous and peacful

shower could have been more powerful

The style

Hotel in work in progress

the staff was extremely helpful.

The spray from the shower was so sharp that my son said that it could shave his face.

Great location, one block from the bus routes, with an easy and pleasant walk to the Roman sites. The room was large, clean and beautifully furnished. Breakfast buffet was generous, with eggs and bacon as well as "continental" breakfast.

Locating the hotel is a challenge - perhaps Google street view could be amended to include a shot of the hotel entrance?

Nice rooms, lovely breakfast, great design, friendly staff (reception, breakfast etc). Great location to visit local area of Rome. Only minor setback was the price!

The hotel location is very convenient for exploring the city and sights of Rome, either on foot, or by hopping on the passing bus or tram. There was also a nice continental buffet breakfast each morning. It was also quiet, a nice respite from the crowded streets.

Don't expect luxury - it's basic, but clean. Furnishings basic and showing a bit of wear and tear. It may be Roman 4*, but not comparable to international 4*, therefore felt it was poor value for money - however, it seems all Rome hotels are overpriced for standards delivered.

The Ripa Hotel was a wonderful find. We enjoyed the contemporary decor and the friendly staff. The hotel is immaculate and very well run.The Breakfast Buffet was incredible and quite a luxury.
