Hotel Ripa Roma

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Ripa Roma? It’s tucked away on this quiet side street in Trastevere where you can actually hear yourself think – which, honestly, is pretty rare in Rome. I mean, you’re still close enough to all the action that you can walk to those cobblestone streets with the wine bars and trattorias, but Via Degli Orti Di Trastevere feels almost residential. The hotel itself has this solid, unpretentious vibe that I really appreciated. It’s not trying to be some Instagram-perfect boutique place, but the rooms are genuinely comfortable and the staff actually knows the neighborhood. When I asked about getting to Villa Doria Pamphili (the big park up the hill), the guy at reception didn’t just point me toward Google Maps – he told me about the entrance locals use and mentioned it’s gorgeous for morning runs before the city heats up.

What really won me over was how the hotel sits in this part of Rome that feels authentic without being touristy-authentic, if that makes sense. You’re in Gianicolense, which sounds fancy but is actually just a normal Roman neighborhood where people live and work. There’s a little market nearby where I grabbed fruit for breakfast, and honestly, walking back to the hotel with my coffee felt like I was staying in someone’s actual neighborhood rather than a tourist zone. The building itself is solid – thick walls, so you don’t hear every conversation in the hallway, and the air conditioning actually works properly (trust me, this matters in July). I will say the WiFi was a bit spotty on the upper floors, but honestly, that might have been a blessing in disguise.

The thing about Hotel Ripa Roma is that it gets the balance right between being comfortable and being real. It’s got that 4-star reliability – clean bathrooms, decent breakfast, front desk that’s actually staffed – but it doesn’t feel sanitized. The 8.2 rating makes sense to me because it’s the kind of place where everything works like it should, the location gives you options, and you’re not paying for marble lobbies or rooftop pools you’ll never use. If you want to be in the heart of things but not feel like you’re sleeping inside a tourist attraction, this spot actually delivers. Plus, and this is kind of specific, but the neighborhood is perfect for those evening walks Romans do – you can wander down toward the river or up toward the Janiculum Hill when the light gets golden, then come back to a quiet street for a proper night’s sleep.

• Well-designed hotel; Nice and artistic atmosphere around! – Ahmad from Greece – 3 April 2025 (8/10)

  Well-designed hotel with good staff. You feel a good sence of art there. The suite was very good and our family liked it so much.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast could be much better for a 4 stars hotel. The lift looks very old and its panel could be changed with a new one to match other shiny things in the hotel.

• We really enjoyed our stay in Ripa Roma. Very good hotel, and staff were there to help. – Brian from Ireland – 11 February 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel was very clean and the room was very comfortable. We got a free upgrade on arrival which was great. Staff were all friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: The variety or hot food for breakfast was a bit limited.

• Stylish hotel in a great location just outside the main city – Catherine from United Kingdom – 21 December 2024 (8/10)

  Room was very nice, big and comfy bed, Malin and Goetz products in the bathroom. Room had a balcony which was lovely to sit out on. Staff very friendly.
  
  What could be improved: There was lots of variety at breakfast but the “hot” food was always cold – not a huge issue though given there was so much else. Wall was quite thin and could hear a lot of noise from the next room.

• Rome Trastevere – Lagash71 from Italy – 2 November 2024 (9/10)

  The style of the lounge and restaurant
  
  What could be improved: Missing basic complimentary – I.e.: toothbrush&paste

• Excellent! Definitely to return! – Luc from Belgium – 31 October 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent breakfast! We loved the 'art' all over the hotel!

• Very good – Laoise from Ireland – 11 October 2024 (8/10)

  Rooms were spacious and very clean. Good location in trastevere. Bar staff were very friendly.
  
  What could be improved: Reception staff didn’t seem overly interested in talking to us but did help organise a taxi for us when we were leaving
