“We had a really great stay at Luxury Trastevere”

We visited Rome in October 2024 and had a really great stay at Luxury Trastevere. It provided an excellent base from which to explore the city; none of the main attractions were far away. You'll need to be semi-fit to get luggage up the stairs (!) and being in the heart of Trastevere (a vibrant area full of shops, restaurants and bars) might not suit everyone. But we loved it.

“Great location”

We stayed in the suite with balcony overlooking the church and square. The balcony was fabulous, hearing the musicians and bustle of Trastevere was just lovely. The bathroom was great too, that big bath was much needed after long days walking around Rome. Whilst the bed was comfortable and the suite was spacious with nice decoration it is a shame that the owners don’t spend a little time and money to make this a real luxury venue. The curtains need reattaching to the curtain rail, there is a dirty damp patch in the roof (I note that this is highlighted in previous reviews some six months ago) and the sofa is absolutely horrid with bits falling off everywhere. When we sat on the sofa we were covered in flakes of plastic. With the access to the room being up very steep steps, I can understand that they might be reluctant to bring in a new sofa, but a blanket or throw would hide it a little longer! Sign in apartment says cleaning from 9.30-10.30, it was often lunchtime before anyone was in to clean, which was awkward when we’d avoided being out at the specific cleaning times. None of these things detracted from our stay though which was much enjoyed.

“Great Location, Cool Building, Beware the Stairs!”

This is literally in the heart of Trastavere, an area of Rome that has an active night life (even more active than 2019) and you are in the center of an area overflowing with amazing restaurants.

This is literally in the heart of Trastavere, an area of Rome that has an active night life (even more active than 2019) and you are in the center of an area overflowing with amazing restaurants. In fact you have to walk through the middle of the patio of one downstairs to get to the front door. Some positives: the room is fairly large and very well decorated. There seem to be only 4 rooms here-3 on the 3rd floor of the building and a steep staircase leading to the suite on the 4th floor. The unattended lobby area on the 3rd floor has a spacious kitchen/living room common area with coffee and tea available at all times. The room has a refrigerator with water (no sign of a mini bar) and is fairly large. The bathroom is excellent and very clean. Some caveats: the stairway is carved stone and fairly steep-it seems like it's on the second floor but it is really the third floor. There is little evidence of staff on site if you need anything, which is fine if you are a self starter and already know what you are doing. One slight warning for light sleepers-the local basilica right outside has a cool system for the neighborhood, one bell rings for the hour, followed by a higher pitch bell that rings once for 15, twice for 30 and three for 45. You can easily keep track of time in the area fairly accurately just by ear. However when the bells are ringing outside your room at 4 am every fifteen minutes like clockwork, you might not sleep very well. Overall, I am very glad I stayed here and would recommend the experience, you cannot beat this place for location. 3.5 stars
