Hotel Ripa Roma

Nice, spacious family room with modern design. Minimalistic. Friendly staff. Centrally located - two minutes walk to tram which goes directly to main tourist attractions in Rome. Nice, quiet neighbourhood - but lots of restaurants etc. within a short walkingdistance. We had a balcony which was nice. Well-functioning airconditioning. Beds OK.

Smelled a bit from the bathroom. Maybe a bit too minimalistic for some people.

This hotel is in a great location for visiting different parts of Rome. We ate in the Tratavere area and we hopped on buses and trams to get around the city

what I loved about hotel was staff, especially Clara at the front desk. She went above and beyond her job duties to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Also cleaning staff were so helpful, leaving the hotel with our big fat bags, the elevator was broken, and the poor elderly women insisted to help carry our luggage(this was not her responsibility but that was purely done out of her generosity )

I did not like that is was not a hotel, it was an apartment building and they rented the second and third floor. I did not like that every time to enter the hotel, I had to buzz in. I did not like the very tacky decor. I did not like the smell that they filled the room with. I can sum it up, this was not an elegant hotel by any means.
