I stayed here for two nights at 240 eur/night, which is not bad for Rome but about 100 more than I think it's worth. The location is great and the hotel is very clean, but my room was small and simple (good bathroom though). The hotel lost my reservation but luckily there were spare rooms when I arrived. Breakfast was above average and staff were very polite. I'd consider staying here again simply based on its proximity to Trastevere and Campo dei Fiori.

The hotel is great location for the Vatican, Trastevere, Patheon, Campo De Fiori and Piazza Navona. They are walking distance with these places. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room that we stayed is on the 5th flr. with double beds and it was a little small. Breakfast was excellent however, the hours are too short from 7am to 10am. Great place to stay with young people in their 20's and 30's going to bars, dance, dine and meet locals. I saw a few gay people and Trastevere is great place to get lunch, dinner, gelato and italian desserts which is just less than 5 minutes away and just cross the Ponte Sisto bridge. There is one dessert place that sells old cannolis etc. just near after you cross the Ponte Sisto bridge.

My husband booked this hotel after checking the reviews on TripAdvisor for a suprise weekend away for my Birthday so I had no pre-conceived ideas.
I was extremely impressed when we arrived, it was truly lovely, modern, clean and finished to a high standard. The breakfast is excellent and plentiful, with lots on offer particularly if you like more traditional English fare. The staff are all friendly and helpful. If there was anything I was disappointed about it was the street the hotel is on - graffiti lines the walls, the cobbled street is a path of sand in places and often litter strewn about (but its not by any means unsafe or dodgy, it just needs some TLC) . But within a minutes walk along the road you're in the hustle and bustle of it all. Had the hotel been located on a better road, it was undoubtedly be pricier so not a complaint as such. Would I recommend Hotel Ponte Sisto? Most definitely!

We just returned from a 7 day trip through Italy and spent our last two nights at the Ponte Sisto. Per all the other reviews, the location is superb and convenient to a lot of historical sites and great shopping/restaurants. Check in was a breeze and the front desk seemed well staffed and ready to help if needed.

It's important to note that the street that Ponte Sisto is on (Via dei Pettinari) is currently under construction and there is a lot of daytime noise due to the construction workers, etc. The cab drivers cannot access the street so we were left off at the top and needed to drag our suitcases through sand and gravel to the hotel. It's also important to point out that there is a very, very popular bar right across the street from the hotel that attracts the 20-something crowd 11:00pm until 4:00am. Most of the patrons to this bar socialize out on the street - they purchase their drinks/beers inside the tiny bar and then move out to enjoy the nice weather. Our room was just above this bar so we could definitely hear the bar crowd well past 3:00am. I would highly recommend asking for a room in the back of the hotel so that this does not happen to you.

Our non-smoking room was spacious and very clean and the bathroom was bigger than expected. Unfortunately, our room was musty and smelled like stale smoke.

Overall, this is a good hotel. We paid $290/night so I'm not convinced it's the best bang for the buck. Next time I visit Rome I will check out another hotel in the same location.
