I love Hotel Silla! It is great value for the money considering all the dining options and amenities nearby, proximity of Metro and bus stops, and safety of Prati and the facility itself. For an older hotel, it’s in very good condition and kept very clean. My room and bathroom were not huge, but I’m petite so that was fine, and my single size bed was very comfortable with high quality linens. The staff was also welcoming and accommodated the fact I arrived a few hours early. My only complaints: my room got almost no natural light even when opened the heavy shutters, and the hair dryer in the bathroom is pretty old and awkwardly designed. Nonetheless, I’d stay in Hotel Silla again in a heartbeat.

First time to Rome
Hotel Silla was a great choice for exploring Rome for a few days. Our group of 4 stayed in 2 rooms, which were small but had enough storage space in the closet for our luggage. The front desk staff were very friendly, spoke English, and helped us book an airport shuttle for our departure. One of our rooms had some electrical issues but the worker was able to fix it immediately. Good AC, TV, modern bathroom, and wifi. Nights were very quiet; the morning noise of shops opening in the inner courtyard was not bothersome. It’s a short walk to the Ottaviano Metro station and about 15-20 min to Piazza San Pietro. There are lots of cafes and shops nearby.

A nice comfortable hotel
Cleanliness: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Comfort: 4/5 Noise: 5/5 Location: 4/5 Overall: A very good option to stay near Vatican City and just a block away from the train station. The extended review... Cleanliness: 4/5 - Very clean and tidy. Service: 4/5 - Friendly staff but be aware that the front desk is closed at night. Comfort: 4/5 - I was very comfortable here and didn’t have trouble sleeping at all. The room is a little small but it was good enough for me. Noise: 5/5 - Not a lot of noise at all. Location: 4/5 - In a very walkable location.

Would t stay here again
Location is good, that’s it. Stayed 4 nights, on the third day the internet we were using wouldn’t let us login. Talked to the middle aged man at the desk, he said it must be our phones, he tried to login and couldn’t either. He rebooted the system, didn’t help. Told him about it again the next day and he said that I was the only person complaining. No customer service skills at all. Bathroom was extremely small, the only thing good was the location

Very good place to stay.
The hotel is located in a secure gated building, in the City Centre, updated to modern standards a few yards away from St Peter's basilica, would recommend it to anyone travelling to Rome to see the Basilica, very cheap for the location and service rendered, and you may have to arrange for a breakfast option outside of you are a breakfast kind of person. Rooms need good pillows and duvets.

Front desk person kind enough to have our luggages stored next to reception area. We took a picture so we remember how many pieces and our original luggages were lost by the airline. but the hotel manager came and told us of. He was offended that we took picture. He’s very rude. We tried to explained why we took picture but he just decided to stay rude with us. Luckily when we got back late at night that man was not there and our luggages were safe. I will not recommend this hotel because of that hotel manager. Otherwise it’s ok …

We arrived very early for our check in and reception staff and housekeeping made haste to get our room ready early. They were friendly and very understanding of our long travel. The room was very clean and comfortable. No fridge or coffee amenities, however an electric kettle was brought to room when requested. When we told front desk staff that we were taking public transit to the airport, he advised against it and booked a taxi for us. We are thankful for this sound advice as it would’ve been very onerous with all our luggage.

This was my second stay in the hotel - it’s a very clean, friendly, basic hotel which is on the first floor of a quiet apartment block. It’s in a nice neighbourhood which for me was a 7 minute walk to the Vatican. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I used the hotel as a base as I was out for most of the day. My room was immaculately clean with a safe and free WiFi. My room looked into an internal courtyard and there are a few cafes and grocery shops nearby. I always stay in the Prati part of Rome as it is quiet and near the Vatican.

This hotel was in a quiet neighbourhood with cafes nearby and it is a 7 min walk to the Vatican. The hotel is on the first floor of an apartment complex which meant it is safe and secure. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a small, basic hotel which was immaculately clean. My single room was small but had everything that I required. The window opened onto an internal, quiet courtyard. There is air-conditioning in the room.

Great air conditioning. Rooms is clean. Breakfast is at basic (ok though for €6). Staff is friendly and helpful. Shower booth is way too small. Room was very quiet. Overall, quality is OK considering the price.

Convenient Location
After looking at so many hotels online, we decided to go for Hotel Silla and we were not disappointed. It was close to the metro, clean and had functioning Air Conditioner in July. Lot of hotels we looked at did not have AC so this was a plus. The shower is phone booth size but that’s pretty standard in Rome. Overall, great stay and would book again.

Nice place and a decent room, but they wouldn't give us the air conditioner remote even when we asked. The room was boiling hot. We were just told to open a window. Hotels.com was very helpful though. We filed a complaint and we got the A/C remote the next day.
