First of all let me start by stating that I never write reviews, and typically stay in larger ‘well-known chain hotels’. This hotel exceeded all my expectations. Location was close to all the major attractions, easy metro proximity, clean and quiet at night. We travelled as a family (two boys 9 & 11) and stayed a week. The staff were fantastic - always there to answer questions and super friendly. I must specifically mention Nicole, Valerie, and Maria Chiara. Thank you for such a great experience!

Really nice place. Big rooms and comfortable accommodations. However, there is only single-zone heating/AC, which means the whole building can only have either heat or AC. We went in late April and being from the Northeast U.S. found Rome quite warm and wanted our rooms cool at night. But others in the hotel complained the rooms were too cold, so we were forced to endure very hot rooms at night. Luckily, the windows opened.

Overall it’s a good spot that’s super convenient to good shopping areas. Rooms are cute. Furniture is old and needs to be reupholstered though.

Our entire stay, from the moment we walked in, was spectacular. The bell staff proactively helped us with luggage without us asking. We checked in a few hours early and our room was ready, hassle-free. The front desk even gave us a free upgrade to the best suite with the rooftop terrace. The room was amazing. The space was so large that we needed a mini tour. Everything was spotless and tastefully decorated. The minibar was well stocked. Breakfast was delicious and again friendly staff. This made our trip even more memorable. We stayed in a lot of nice hotels, but this was easily our best hotel experience!

A lovely bathtub in every room. We requested two twin beds, which they ignored at room assignment, but it was rectified when we checked in. Do make sure you call and check that you do have twins the day before, though

Perfect stay in the very heart of Rome
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Babuino 181. This small hotel is perfectly located between Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, in the very heart of the shopping precinct of Rome. Fontana di Trevi and Pantheon are within walking distance. our room was spacious, very well furnished and immaculately maintained. breakfast is served in the roof terrace and offers great selection of food. the whole staff is very corteous and kind. we will definitely get back there!!!!

Parking is 5 min away and at extra cost. You have to inform before getting the hotel and they do not have enough concessions for as many guests. We ended entering the void zone without knowledge of this. Rooms are small, European style. Location is excellent.

An adorable boutique hotel in the heart of Rome, a short walk to the Spanish steps. Parking is at a small offsite lot 4 blocks away, so the hotel is more preferable if you dont have a car. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Our room was in the annex across the street. Small but very comfortable with a great bed, terrific air conditioning in the middle of a Rome August. The staff was very pleasant and responsive. Would definitely book here again, without a car.
