Hotel Details

Location

In Rome's quiet Gianicolense district, 15 minutes' walk from Trastevere and 3 km from St. Peter's Basilica.
The property is in a residential neighbourhood on a hill, a 15-minute walk downhill to central Trastevere and about 40 minutes' walk to the historic centre and Vatican. Public transport is close by: Quattro Venti train station is a few streets away, and multiple bus stops connect to the centre and Roma Termini (about 40 minutes). A tram stop is also nearby. For airport access, Fiumicino Airport is 23 km away. While the area is quiet and pleasant with parks and local shops, walking to the main sights involves hills and is uphill when returning. Parking is not available on site and finding street parking is very time-consuming. Several restaurants, cafés and a supermarket are within a few minutes' walk.

Wellness and Leisure

No pool, spa, or gym facilities are available on site.
The property does not have a pool, spa, jacuzzi, gym, sauna, or similar leisure facilities. The quiet residential neighbourhood is suitable for walks, and nearby parks offer green space. The main leisure activities are found in central Trastevere, about 15 minutes' walk away, with its restaurants, bars, and historic streets.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, luggage storage, lockers, daily housekeeping, express check-in/out, and a minimarket on site.
Services include free WiFi throughout, daily housekeeping (at no extra cost), express check-in/out, private check-in/out, and luggage storage. Lockers are available. Fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities are available for an additional charge. Security features include CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside, fire extinguishers, and key access. An iron is available on request. Check-in takes place at the Cefalu restaurant a few metres away. For late arrivals (23:00-02:00), a keybox system is used. The property is not accessible for guests with mobility issues - there is no lift, and some rooms are on the ground floor with stairs. Pets are allowed on request (charges may apply).

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the tram or bus for city-centre trips instead of relying on walking distances as major landmarks are a 40-minute walk away.

  • 02

    Check-in closes at 11:00 PM; late arrivals between 11 PM and 1-2 AM use a keybox, but arrivals after that are not possible.

  • 03

    Request a room away from the ground floor and road if noise from the street and bins affects your sleep.

  • 04

    Plan meals via the on-site restaurant (Cefalu) or nearby cafés, as room kitchens are available only upon reservation.
