Casa Santa Sofia

The hotel is situated on a lively square. It is clean, appears newly renovated (in the rooms) and well maintained, with a reasonably attractive aesthetic. The accommodation is plain and simple:  a bit student dorm-like with small rooms, but the room is pleasant, and clean, and the aircon actually works (unlike most in Italy). The lobby is staffed 24 hours a day (which is a plus), and the staff are helpful. The downsides are the small room size (oddly did not bother me) and the thin cheap doors. I chose to stay here rather than an airport hotel during a transit, and found the experience quite fun, being able to walk around Rome for a few hours overnight. ONE PROBLEM I would mention is that they are currently renovating the top 2 floors of the hotel (4 storeys) ... and it makes a lot of noise in the morning if you are trying to sleep after 8am. If you get out of the room before 8am, it probably won't bother you too much ... but if you like staying up late, I would find somewhere else to stay. Also, the hotel should warn guests of the problem, and they do not.

Location can’t be beat. Staff was very kind and helpful. I have no complaints.

"I recently stayed at this lovely hotel located in a charming area. Despite booking the cheapest option, the room was very tiny yet surprisingly comfortable. However, it's worth noting that if you have more than one bag, space might be a bit tight. One of the highlights of the hotel is its proximity to the train station, restaurants, and bars, making it convenient for exploring the area. While water wasn't provided for free in the room, there was complimentary tea available at the reception, which was a nice touch. Overall, I had a good experience during my stay. The cozy room, convenient location, and thoughtful amenities made for an enjoyable visit."
