This hotel is situated in a true Italian area in the Trastevere. The area has a local market, a renovated square with a playground for kids, is quiet at night and has some specialty wine, cheese, etc shops for the locals. Great for the traveller that needs some time away from typical tourist destinations. The hotel walls are a little thin but the service you get makes up for it. Great, clean hotel!

VERY basic! One day no hot water, shower cabin fell apart, impossible to read in the room, - even when you take off the lamp shades, too dark. The cleaners are supposed to act as receptionists in the morning ("reception is a chair and a small table), - but they don't speak English. Towels so thin you can almost see through them. Walls very thin, - any noise from the "hall" will wake you up. Wouldn't stay there again. Not worth 110 euro a night!

This is a cheap and cheerful hotel in Trastevere. All hotels seem to be expensive in Rome so even a 'pension house' like this seems expensive for what you get.
It was basic but clean.
Positives - Bros bar next door, friendly & helpful.
Short walk from Trastevere nightlife.
Good place to base for a few days sightseeing in Rome.
Hotel owner called us a taxi on check out and bought us an expresso while we waited.
Fast response when shower head broke.
Negatives - quite noisy first thing in the am with other guests doors banging.
Slightly unnerving to have no-one there at night.
No security in the room - although 3 locked doors are between you & the outside.
Having read the other reviews on this hotel I think they have changed their procedure for check in. My advice ALWAYS call ahead and confirm your booking and arrival time - (goes for any hotel).
Last point, beware Rome taxi drivers - agree a rough price up front.

I made a confirmed reservation using the Residenza Belli's website two months in advance. But, upon my arrival on July 11th in Rome, I was told by the Residenza Belli that - I - had cancelled my reservation on July 9th, which I had not. Furthermore, I did not even have internet access that week in order to view the email in which they informed me that my reservation was cancelled. They then told me that there were no hotel rooms available in Rome and they made no attempt to help me find another hotel. In sum, they left me stranded and made NO attempts to rectify the situtation.

On Sunday July 9th, Italy won the World Cup. This is the same day my reservation was cancelled by the hotel. A co-incidence? Or a chance for them to profit from the new demand for rooms for the celebration in Rome? You be the judge.
