“Beautiful Quiet Piece of Roma”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

My wife and I stayed in this hotel during our quick trip to Rome in December for business. The hotel is incredibly nice, from the staff to the room themes. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, so you can't even tell you are in Rome with the windows open in the room. Our only drawback was that the hotel was not in the city itself, so we used cabs a lot to get downtown and back... But the trade off was the beauty of the property and the feeling you had your own special experience in this great hotel.

“Friendly and helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

Stayed here for a week at end of July/beginning August and met up with some Austrailian friends travelling over the summer. The hotel was quite accessible for myself and my disabled partner although our room was nowhere near as luxurious as our friends room was. The area was lovely and felt safe, the staff were very helpful, breakfast was good and varied, air conditioning was very effective, shame there is no pool and garden is tiny but it is a good quality hotel and I would stay there again.

Dear Sharon
what a surprice to read your comment after such a long time!
The staff and I are very pleased to know you remember your nice experience in our hotel S. ANSELMO and we thank you so much for thinking about us.
Happy to know everything worked well during your stay expecially the air conditionning which is really needed in the hot Roman summer and that you liked our garden!
Unfortunately we have no pool but we are proud to be located in the archeological area of Rome where digging is definetly not permetted because of the many ancient ruins of Rome's glorious past times.
Looking forward to your next visit in the eternal city.

“Amazing place, friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We booked this hotel as the first venue of our honeymoon and were buzzing from the moment we walked into the reception area. The decor is gorgeous - very luxurious with thoughtful touches everywhere. Our room is wonderful, with a four poster bed and large bathroom. We're also big fans of the free afternoon tea (4-6pm) and evening hot chocolate (9pm). If you do stay here, head to Testaccio (south of Via Marmorata) for good quality local restaurants.

“Phantastico”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012 via mobile

I am a regular at this hotel, and it's two sister hotels; this one is my favourite. Chic and charming. Very nicely decorated rooms - I have experienced a few over the past years - in a wonderful building, and all that in a great location. Aventino is where I would want to live if I were to become Roman, and had the means. It offers great views, and a quiet spot to relax under the many trees from the buzzing city. Central too - walking down the hill to Testacchio and Trastevere takes you to great bars and restaurants. And if your feet need some relaxation, many rooms come with Jaccuzi... The staff is very nice and helpful. In short: a great place to stay!

Dear guest,
It’s nice to see you had some time to remember us once back home. Thank you very much.
We are also glad to know you found in our hotel S. Anselmo your home away from home.
The Aventino hill is definitely a beautiful neighborhood to live in Rome even for a short time.
Yes, some rooms have nice jacuzzi and amazing views of the famous roman rooftops.
Looking forward to your next visit

“Charming boutique hotel in quiet & attractive part of the city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

Stayed at the San Anselmo for 2 nights in November on friends’ recommendation. The location is very good as it’s away from the touristic places, but still within walking distance of the Forum/Coliseum. The room was lovely (top floor with balcony) with very good views; Brilliant bed but horrible pillows. Breakfast was good and staff was attentive and professional.

We would return tomorrow.

Room Tip: ask for a room with balcony

Dear guest,
Thank you for your positive comment.
So glad to know that your friends’ recommendation met your expectation and you loved the hotel S. ANSELMO.
The rooms with balcony are a “plus” even because the temperature in Rome is always mild and you can also enjoy the breakfast in the charming and pleasant garden or in the patio.
We’ll make sure for your next visit to give you different pillows to give you a goodnight sleep.
Looking forward to take care of you again during your next visit in one of the most romantic city of the world.
