We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights, and have to stay it was better than expected. Having trawled through lots of websites to find a central hotel that we could afford, I don't think we could of found better. We stayed in a superior room (nr 6), which was lovely. Nice big comfy bed, table and chairs, sofa bed and nice bathroom. Everything was clean and well cared for. Vera (the housekeeper) was excellent at welcoming us, and advising of the best places to visit while we were there, and where to eat. Breakfast was perfectly good with croissants, cakes, coffee, cereal etc.
The location was great - 2 mins to Piazza Navona, and 10 mins to Vatican. We walked everywhere during our 4 days here - nothing is further than 20 mins walking.
It was my partner's birthday while we were there, and Vera organised a bottle of prosecco and 2 champagne glasses for his birthday, which were laid out in our room when we got in - they couldn't do more for you.

Would recommend to anyone as great value for money

This hotel was just magnificent! Being a young and happy couple on our first holiday together, this was the perfect place! The hotel was typical Rome, small, but very beautiful. The staff were so helpful, especially the gentlemen that greated us, he highlighted areas on a map and advised us of where to go when. The staff were so friendly. The breakfast was what was expected, the usual continental food, nothing special though. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The only problem we had, was actually finding the hotel as it really does not look like a hotel from the outside! Luckily, we called the hotel and a member of staff came out and found us to take us there after i was in a foul mood because the taxi driver had completely ripped us off from the train station, this made a good start to our holiday. It is certainly a place for couples and is great value for money. I would reccomend this place to family and friends and also would return there if i were to visit rome again.

Residenza Ave Roma is by far one of my most memorable hotel stays anywhere in the world. Upon arriving, Vera welcomed us in, poured us some drinks (Rome in August), and took us to our room (#6). Once inside, she showed us how everything worked in the room, probably just out of manners and hospitality, and then gave us a map and walked us through all the attractions, transportation, restaurants, etc. The room was enormous and the bathroom was spotlessly clean. Overall, we felt very comfortable. Salvo was around during the late afternoon, evening and was more than happy to suggest restaurants, places to go out, etc. With him realizing that we are NYers: "Travestere = East Village," we were more than excited to take his suggestions to heart.

The location was the main reason why we decided on this hotel. It is in the heart of Rome - 5 minutes to Piazza Navona, maybe 8 minutes to Pantheon, 15 to Trevi Fountain, 10-15 to Spanish Steps, 15-20 to Vatican, 20 to Travestere. As you can see, we literally walked everywhere except to Colosseum and Forums. Being in Rome for only 2 days, we had done everything we wanted to do plus much more.

Two extremely weary first time travellers to Roma were welcomed with great gusto & enthasium from Salvo to a wonderfully appointed boutique hotel. The people that run Residenza Ave Roma are outstanding & do more than bend over backwards to assist their guests, they treat you like you are a valid member of an extended family. Residenza Ave Roma was our first hotel on our first Italian holiday & set such a great precedent that was never matched by anywhere else we stayed. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Roma again, we know exactly where we are going to stay - it is truely a home away from home with wonderful decor - it is a very special place with very special people.
I'd also like to recommend the Trattoria Lilli in the lane way behind the Residenza Ave Roma - the food is just wonderful - a true taste of Italy.
