    Zero.

    Did not expect it to be as wonderful as it is! It is really lovely and well appointed. For example a real hair dryer like in a salon in every room, each room comes with an iron and ironing board. The beds and pillows and linens are lovely. Views out the windows with sunshine, easy to control air conditioner. When I thought I saw all they have a rooftop gorgeous outdoor and covered and enclosed dining room for breakfast and cocktails. Smells Good everywhere all day wiht whatever they are using. Staff is wonderful. We usually stay at a place twice the price. This is an extraordinary good deal. I am crazy to share this because it will be booked all the time now.

    Nothing - wish we could have stayed longer

    The hotel is in the centre of Rome close to restaurants, 5 mins walk to the Spanish steps and 2mins walk to the Piazza del Popolo where the majority of the organised trips (eg Tuscany, Sorrento etc.) leave from. We stayed in room 107 Rooms are spacious, air conditioned, our room had both a bath & shower. Rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels. Welcome biscuits and a bottle of red wine was a lovely treat as we arrived in our room. Fridge with soft drinks and fresh bottled water available & coffee/tea making facilities. Plenty of choice at breakfast with a range of cereal, continental and some hot food options. Staff are very friendly, willing to help and with 24hour reception it’s great if you happen to arrive late to check in as we did. Highly recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay there again 😁

    A little haven in the Heart of Rome - will return.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    It was slightly overpriced due to Coldplay concert (the forces of demand and supply), even if it was booked well in advance. But there is nothing to complain, really.

    Hotel is in an excellent location. Rooms are spacious, with good linens, very comfortable beds and pillows. The walk-in closet was a plus, and the bathroom (bath and rain shower) is very big for Rome standards. Fine and branded Toiletries from Diptyque, and very well stocked every day. Staff are very welcoming and professional. Service is excellent. Roof terrace (with retractable canopy) for drinks and breakfast is comfortable, and airconditioned. Very good breakfast. Recommendable!!!! Keep it up.

    There is nothing I don't like Those who run the facility know this job 👍

    Location, room comfort, kindness of the employees, happiness in small details, breakfast is amazing (I cannot ignore the energy and enthusiasm of the gentleman working in the breakfast room) I can list many more things here. One of my favorite hotels in Rome, it was great as always 🤩

    We are return guests at Babuino and will always choose to stay at Babuino when in Rome. It is an exceptional small boutique hotel and we absolutely love staying there. The manager of the rooftop restaurant even remembered us from last year!

    There was water seeping up through the floor in the bathroom when walked on. Hopefully this is remedied for the next guest in Room 204. There is no lobby in this hotel, just a long desk and a narrow corridor. Not a big deal but lacks the warmth and hospitality of other SLH hotels in the area. The location just off Piazza Popolo lacks the charm of other areas of the city, although it is as central as anything else.

    The basic Deluxe room and bathroom are exceptionally roomy and well-furnished, more than comfortable for two people. The coffee/espresso machine in the room and high quality bath products are to be expected but are still very much appreciated. The breakfast room on the rooftop terrace is a beautiful quiet oasis at the start of the day, and the breakfast offerings are varied and superb. Valerio and the staff on the terrace are wonderfully kind and welcoming.

    Our original room had a plumbing problem. It did take 2 days to get this sorted. However for our 3rd night the hotel upgraded us to their largest suite which was fabulous and greatly appreciated.

    Fabulous central location. Rooftop restaurant away from the madding crowds of Rome. Helpful, cheery staff. Very pleasant rooms with thoughtful amenities and included mini bar and bottle of welcome wine.

    The shower in one of the rooms was more of a hand held shower in the bath where the second bedroom had a bath and a separate shower cubicle even though they were both superior rooms. Not too much of a problem though.

    Breakfast was good. Had everything we wanted. Location was very good.

    👍

    If I were to describe it in two words, I would say kindness and kindness 🤩 But, I can't cut it short. We were very pleased with the welcome, the room comfort and the tiny welcome biscuit, the coffee, the comfort of the bed, the rooftop breakfast room, the polite staff there, the variety and quality of the breakfast, the smiling face and politeness of the reception staff, and the hand cream and scent in the bathroom. It was in the top three of my hotel list in Rome. Thank you, see you again very soon
