Residenza Frattina  

Good location for shopping

The hotel itself is very old (over 100 years old) and it was inside a resident building which their rooms are scattering within the building that are sharing with other residence. Rooms are not too clean and smelly somewhat, especially the bathroom (with leaks everywhere); hot water was a problem for us. It was very noisy at night, since there was a construction work right in front of the hotel and the work was carried out for the whole night! For the money spent, I would rather choose a better hotel that has lifts! We had to carry our bags 4 stories high! I would not recommend this hotel to my friends...sorry!

The location was perfect and staff are nice and helpful. I also liked the cozy breakfast.

It was very noisy early mornings.

Location, interior, staff

very noisy early in the morning in rooms 31, 32, 33, 39

Location is fantastic for a long weekend exploring Rome - right by the Spanish steps. Nice quirky little hotel with lovely staff.

It is a little bit expensive for the standard of the room but you pay for the location

The location was great.

I booked this hotel after reading prev great reviews. Our first night in Rome was one of little sleep due to noise from roadworks happening on the next corner from the hotel. When I called the gentleman at reception he pretended he had no idea what I was talking about but bought us ear plugs anyway (telling us no-one else had used them...yuck! The next room the hotel gave us was tiny and behind the bar so from 5.30 onwards we had to listen to the noise of breakfast being set up and coffee being made as the walls are paper thin. The breakfast staff were not incredibly friendly and grimaced if we ordered second coffee. The pictures on their internet site are not accurate at all, it makes the hotel seem like a boutique hotel and I can tell you it is far from it. It was our last hotel and I am exhausted from the experience. What a way to end a memorable month in Italy!

Pros: Location near Metro and walking distance to attractions * Friendly, acomodating, and professional staff (Valentina, Paola, and Kiara) who would do almost everything to make your stay satisfactory *Clean shower and linens (w slippers and robes),hair dryer, and comfortable beds *Hot water pot in room w tea/coffee selections w some crackers *Good croissaints and yogurt w coffee in the morning. Able to make a deli sandwich to take for lunch. *New heat/air control in each room *Typical European apartment building=charming

Cons: * Typical European building=noisy w thin walls, no elevator (but if you can't climb 4 flights of stairs to your room, you shouldn't be touring in Europe as every place you go in Rome has stairs only). * Hot water tank varies in size from room to room=might be enough for 1-2 people in some room. Avoid room 42 (as of end of 1/12, drilling and pounding from construction next door is going on from 8am-5pm, no hot water for more than 1). * suggest email to ask about the renovation work before your booking.

The location was perfect & the rooms were nicely furnished & clean. Their was plenty of choice at breakfast, continental style & the service was good. I would definately stay there again.

The size of the bathroom which was tiny & not very well designed however I had travelled with nine friends so had booked five rooms in total & the other rooms were fine.

Great location, great service, nice breakfast!

Wifi signal was a bit weak

Excellent front desk staff. The breakfast was served in, what most looked like, a charming living room. Even though we had our room overlooking the street outside, there was no noice disturbing. The hotel is situated almost in the cenrtre of the shopping district and a good starting-point for sight-seeing. Several good restaurants in the suroundings.

The hotel is located on the third floor and there is no lift which could be a problem. The system for reregulation of temperature has and improvement potential.

The staff are very friendly and helpfull, the location is fantastic just minutes away fromm spanish steps, however there is a certain room is very small for 3 people like first time we came but the staff had change us to a bigger room. Definetely we will return to their hotel.

We have to climb up because they have no lif and we have to carry our luagage all the way up, and sometimes is a bit noisy it depands which room you are staying.

Everything was perfect !! The staff, the breakfast, the location, really great !!!

Location and easy for shopping and free wifi Recomended!! I will stay again

No lift
