Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Attico Minerva? The name doesn’t really prepare you for what you’re walking into. I mean, sure, it’s technically an attico (penthouse), but when you’re navigating that narrow Traversa Vicolo della Minerva – and trust me, it’s properly narrow, the kind where you have to squeeze past delivery guys – you’re not exactly thinking “rooftop paradise.” Then you get up there and suddenly Rome is spread out below you like someone’s personal snow globe.

The two terraces are honestly the star of the show here. The smaller one’s perfect for morning coffee when you want to ease into the day, while the bigger terrace… well, that’s where you’ll end up spending your evenings whether you planned to or not. You can actually see the Pantheon’s dome from up there, which still gives me chills thinking about it. The rooms themselves are solid – nothing revolutionary, but they’ve got that Roman apartment feel with decent-sized windows and marble accents that don’t feel overdone. The bathroom’s got one of those rainfall showers that actually works (you’d be surprised how often they don’t). Only minor gripe is the WiFi can be spotty during peak hours, but honestly, you’re in Rome – maybe it’s doing you a favor.

What really sells this place is the location, but not in the way everyone always says that. Yes, you’re basically next door to the Pantheon, but more importantly, you’re tucked away from the main tourist drag while still being walkable to everything. Via del Corso is a five-minute walk when you need proper shopping, and you can cut through to Campo de’ Fiori in about ten minutes if you know the back streets. The tricky part is getting here initially – taxis can’t really get close because of the pedestrian zones, so you’ll be wheeling your luggage over cobblestones for a bit. But once you’re settled? You’ll find yourself popping down to that little alimentari on the corner for wine and feeling very Roman indeed. The 8.1 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow you away with luxury, but it delivers on the experience you’re actually there for. Plus, having two outdoor spaces in central Rome for under what most hotels charge for a basic room? That’s the kind of deal that makes you want to keep quiet about it.

Reviews

  • Perfect location, great sleep, lovely vibes. – Julie from United Kingdom – 20 April 2025 (9/10)

    Fantastic location, having the terraces really made this feel special. Beds were very comfortable and although near everything it was quiet at night! We loved that it had two floors and had so much character.

    What could be improved: Only thing that we noticed was no kitchen knives. The kitchen was very well equipped otherwise.

  • Good choice – Liga from Latvia – 13 February 2025 (8/10)

    Good location, spacious, clean and both terraces are grate!

    What could be improved: – wi-fi and tv channels didn’t work, when I wrote about it in booking and message- nobody care to answer me
    -No hair dryer and iron

  • Passable – Aman from Czech Republic – 27 May 2025 (5/10)

    Location

    What could be improved: Mismanagement – we were handed over the keys at 16:00 and we were waiting outside the apartment for almost an hour with our luggage’s. The bathroom shower was not working properly and the bathroom door was broken .

  • Be prepared to climb up three floors to get to the apartment x – Vivien from Australia – 7 October 2024 (4/10)

    What could be improved: The floors were very dirty. And not a pleasant smell. Stains on bed spread. And no disclosure that you have to carry your luggage up three levels to get to the apartment. No lift.Do not book if you have health issues or are older. This must be disclosed. My husband has a very bad leg. I would not have booked this if we had known. And once you are in the apartment, the other bedroom is on another level more steps. Very disconnected. No light at all in second bedroom. Not even a lamp.

  • Good – Gracia from Spain – 19 May 2025 (7/10)

    La ubicación es sencillamente magnífica y la limpieza de la ropa de cama y toallas muy buena.
    El piso es bonito, funcional y muy cómodo. Parece que estás en una casa propia.

    What could be improved: Tuvimos una nefasta llegada. El cajetín de la llave no funcionaba con el código que nos facilitaron, era la 1 de la madrugada y nadie nos respondía por teléfono (porque no estaba operativo) ni por mensajes de Booking. Estuvimos hora y media intentando abrirlo, hasta que sobre las dos y media pasadas nos llamaron por WhatsApp y comentaron que había una llave escondida por si no podíamos abrir la caja de las llaves. Desde Booking tampoco nos ayudaron nada. El número de teléfono al que llamábamos nos colgaba, pues decian que era sólo para incidencias con vuelos.
    Añadir además que el baño de arriba huele mucho a tuberías.

  • Very good – Jaime from Chile – 14 May 2025 (8/10)

    Muy atentos y nos solucionó todo muy rápido

    What could be improved: Todo bien

  • Központi helyen lévő, kényelmes apartman – Andrea from Hungary – 30 March 2025 (9/10)

    A szállásadó segítőkész volt. Olyan a szállás mint a képeken.
    Wifi nincs. Kettő éjszakát töltöttünk el itt hatan, 41 km séta mellett jókat aludtunk , kényelmes ágyak. Egyik szoba fürdővel egy emelettel feljebb van. Az elhelyezkedés mindent visz.
    KÖZPONTI HELYEN!

  • Superb – Aga_konieczna from Poland – 24 March 2025 (9/10)

    Świetna lokalizacja, ciekawe klimatyczne włoskie mieszkanie, dwa tarasy z gąszczem doniczek z roślinami.

    What could be improved: Był problem z ciepłą wodą przez awarie pieca gazowego, brak wi-fi.

  • Parfait – Muselle from France – 16 February 2025 (8/10)

    Une situation parfaite pour découvrir Rome à pied

    What could be improved: Rien , part la chasse d eau de la salle de bain qui est cassée

  • Excelente estadía y muy lindo departamento. Con todas las comodidades – Mariela from Argentina – 4 February 2025 (9/10)

    La ubicación y la propiedad.

    What could be improved: La cantidad de escaleras, poco cómodo cuando viajas con mucho equipaje
