  Photos on the listing are very misleading

  19 May 2026

  This hotel is a total scam. Maybe 4 bedrooms actually have windows and a view — the rest are below street level with no natural light at all and a strong small of humidity. The bathrooms are very poorly maintained, with rust behind the sink and mold at the bottom of the shower door.I’m shocked this is considered a 4-star hotel, especially considering how expensive it is for no apparent reason. I booked it quickly on Booking while traveling, willing to pay more for a 4-star hotel to ensure a positive and relaxing experience, and we were really disappointed.The rest of the hotel is also in the basement, with no natural light in either the bar or breakfast area. Booking should report this listing as misleading. Hotel La Rovere, Altro at Hotel La Rovere, responded to this review Dear Vittoria,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not fully meet your expectations. Providing a comfortable and transparent experience for our guests is very important to us, and we regret that some aspects of your visit were disappointing.We would like to clarify that the room category booked included a detailed description sent at the time of reservation, with information regarding the room type and its characteristics. As our property is located in the historic heart of Trastevere, the structure reflects the authentic architecture of one of Rome’s oldest neighborhoods. Many buildings in this area feature narrow streets, lower-ground-level spaces, and architectural limitations typical of historic Roman properties, which can naturally affect the amount of direct sunlight in some rooms.While these characteristics are common throughout the historic center, we fully understand that they may not match every guest’s personal preferences, especially for travelers expecting a more modern hotel layout.We are also sorry to hear your comments regarding the bathroom maintenance. Please rest assured that your feedback has been shared with our maintenance and housekeeping teams so that the necessary inspections and improvements can be carried out.During your stay, our team also tried to assist by offering alternative solutions, including the possibility of a refund for the second night or an upgrade to a different room category by paying the rate difference, with the aim of making your stay more comfortable.We genuinely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving both our service and the clarity of the information we provide to future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and offer you a better experience.Best regards,Management

  Great place to stay

  05 Apr 2026

  Great little hotel situated on the less busy side of Rome. Round the corner from the Vatican and half a mile away from the best bars and restaurants in rome. (These bars and restaurants are a better price than the others over the river in the more tourist side ) . Great staff very on point with everything. Giorgia Gallo, Proprietario at Hotel La Rovere, responded to this review Dear valued guest,Thank you very much for your wonderful review!We are truly delighted that you enjoyed our peaceful location while still being close to some of Rome’s most iconic attractions, as well as the great selection of bars and restaurants nearby.

  Excellent choice

  21 Feb 2026

  Excellent hotel in in a quiet area, and very close to the Vatican, Castelo De Angelo and the center. Rooms very clean, they change bed linen and towels every day. Excellent breakfast and coffee. They have lactose free milk. They can get you museum tickets if you ask. You also get a map of Rome, for easier navigation. You should take a taxi application and have a card for online payment, because everything can be paid by mobile (taxi is about 10€ from the center to the hotel, public transport 1.5€ and bills for everything in the city).I recommend it!!!Trip typeHoliday · FamilyRooms5.0Service5.0Location5.0Hotel highlightsQuiet · Great valueRoomsClean, quietNearby activitiesVisiting Vatican, Basilico, Casteli De Angeli, centreSafetyVery safeWalkabilityTo everythingFood and drinksonly breakfast, have lactose free milk Hotel La Rovere, Altro at Hotel La Rovere, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share such a detailed and enthusiastic review of your stay with us.

  Exceptional hotel in Trastevere

  31 Jan 2026

  We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel . The location is perfect and close to St. Peter’s basilica . More importantly, it was the staff esp Abi at the front desk that set this hotel apart among others . The staff made our stay absolutely wonderful with their outstanding hospitality and amazing service . I asked for a map and Abi delivered more than I expected ! She gave us a map , highlighting the famous sites with directions and more importantly, it was color coded with a handwritten legend . She also added restaurants , other sites etc . We travelled all over the world and stayed in various hotels but this was the first for us . An exceptional gesture !From the moment we arrived , we were welcomed with genuine warmth , attentiveness and care that made us feel instantly at home esp after a long flight . They even expedited our room so we can rest and freshen up . The room was ready in an hour and we arrived 4 hours earlier of the check in time which was 2 pm . Every staff ( can’t recall all their names , sorry ), went above and beyond , always with a smile and a willingness to help ! We will definitely staying here again in our future trips to Rome and will recommend this hotel to our friends and family .
