Great find in Rome
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Santa Prisca. The main reason why we chose this hotel was because they offered off road parking - which is tough to find in Rome. It turned out that it was even better than we could have imagined! The location is fantastic - right outside the hotel are bus stops that can quickly take you into the city centre. But you're just outside the busy centre so you can get a peaceful night's sleep. The staff were so friendly - they were happy to answer questions we had & I particularly liked the friendly staff in the breakfast room! Breakfast provided was lovely - a vast selection & plentiful. I particularly liked the fruit - it was so tasty. My husband enjoyed the eggs & bacon!! The room itself, whilst small, it was perfectly adequate for our short stay. It was comfortable & when we requested extra pillows, they were up very quickly. I would highly recommend this hotel & would definitely return if I came back to Rome. Thank you!!

Great base for a weekend in Rome
Made a wonderful base for our weekend in Rome. The rooms aren't the most modern but spacious enough and clean. The shower had great pressure too. Breakfast was good, and the staff were all very friendly with Nico being a particular highlight (he's quite the character!). Location was excellent around a 20 min walk to the Colosseum and also being in the Testaccio district it meant we had easy access to loads of wonderful great value restaurants, plus our favourite Gelato place in Rome just across the street. Would happily stay here again next time we visit. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Good value for your stay in Rome.
Well run hotel with friendly staff and good service. Beautiful treed location outside the downtown core, but easy walk to the Metro and convenient buses outside the door. Lots of restaurants near by. Older hotel, well kept but smallish room. No mini fridge or kettle which disappointed. Good breakfast.

OK for price but let down by breakfast.
A clean hotel with friendly staff and in an easily-accessible but ‘off the beaten track’ location. Only real issue I had was with the breakfast - it actually consists of a voucher refundable at a bakery/cafe across the road. If you are expecting any fruit or cereals with your breakfast, then you will be sadly disappointed!

Nice place, small shower
We had a great stay. The room was tiny but in a really convenient spot. The front desk was helpful. You get a voucher for breakfast at the bakery across the street for breakfast. It was delicious. The concierge sent us to Mastro Donato’s across the street for lunch. The best pizza I had my whole time in Italy. Our only issue was the size of the shower. We both had to really squeeze to get into the shower.

Auper comfy beds
Amazing location and private parking! Rooms are not very spacious, but it doesn't really matter cos the most of the day you are out. The bed is super comfy, good breakfast. Be aware there is a school next door, so if you are planning to lay in might be a bit disturbing. In overall, i would definitely stay again!

Definitely more than 2 stars hotel. Great location to visit Rome, 5 minutes walking to Pyramide metro station. We had a little problem to find the address. Fridge in the room would be a nice upgrade. Very good breakfast and clean rooms. Ps. Thank you for the tip to visit Cascate del Mulino.

Nice hotel with parking outside and clean.
For a 2 star hotel, this was better than some 3 stars we’ve stayed in previous in Rome. Fro t desk staff very helpful and polite. Hotel is at a good location with tram stop around the corner also scooters available nearby. As with rest of Rome, it can get a little noisy but the room has good air conditioning so you can close the windows and stay cool even in hot summer months.

We chose this hotel to be close to our relatives. For that reason it was perfect for us. The room itself was adequate not special. Very small better for one person not two. The staff was excellent and breakfast a plus. Thumbs up if you’re on a budget and her to stay near transportation.

A hidden gem
The hotel is located on Aventino hill, so we enjoyed walking there to the forum. The location is phenomenal. The staff are very pleasant and helpful and professional. There is private parking on the property! WiFi is strong. The room is smallish but comfortable. We used a sitting area near reception to get some work done. There is an elevator but also wide beautiful marble stairs. Did not get to eat at the restaurant because a group was there, but the concierge Daniel made reservations for us nearby at a lovely place within walking distance. Also, the hotel let us store our luggage for a few hours before checkin so we could tour. I would stay here again.

Hotel is very charming and quaint. Our room was small but bed was very comfortable and room was very quiet. Great breakfast offered and staff is wonderful. Very accommodating. There is a beautiful outdoor patio for relaxing while sipping drinks. Public transportation conveniently located and many restaurants and bars nearby. Highly recommend!

Disliked: Amenities
I believe the good reviews are driven by good breakfast, decent location, and reasonable but not outstanding service. Otherwise, we found the hotel to be minimal and underwhelming - hardly no amenities, no safe box, and uncomfortable bed and pillows. It is an average option (3 out of 5 stars), but not great (4+ stars).

Great experience altogether!
Excellent stay: the staff could not have been more helpful, the conditions were great, and the breakfast range even wider than before! I always find its location excellent: while nicely secluded in its garden, it is close to all means of transport -- trolley, tube and train. Plus there are a top gelateria and two exquisite restaurants literally across the road!
