“A "Must Stay" If Visiting Rome”
If travelling to Rome then this is definitely the hotel to stay in. Located in an excellent area of the city just a few minutes walk from the Piazza del Popolo, this is a smart, very friendly and first class hotel. My better half and I found the room very clean, spacious with lovely sized bathroom, warm and very comfortable bed. Room was also very quiet. Has a fabulous breakfast selection, always fresh and plenty of choice. A special mention must go to Maria at Reception - effective, efficient, super friendly and extremely helpful - a real credit to the hotel and company. Her recommendations for local restaurants in which to enjoy proper Italian foods and wines were first class. Another mention to Sani, operating in the bar area - again, very friendly and helpful.

“The Babuino hotel is a very good choice to stay in Rome, very good location and fair rates.”
The breakfast has a good variety of fruits and yoghurt, but could improve its bread selection.

“Great Location, But the Hotel Needs Renovation”
The location is absolutely fantastic — right in the very center of the city, just a few steps from Piazza del Popolo. The breakfasts were decent, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. However, the hotel itself is quite old and really needs renovation. I didn’t love the bed, the room was rather dark, and the radiator in the bathroom was leaking. Overall, you can stay here for the sake of the excellent location, but given the price, I would expect the hotel to be updated.
