Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The location was excellent and the linens and towels were clean, which was a plus. However, the property itself was not well maintained, which significantly impacted our stay.
On arrival, we immediately noticed how thin the walls were, we could clearly hear conversations from neighbouring rooms. Inside the room, there was a strong, unpleasant smell, likely from an unchanged AC filter. The fridge was noisy, the furniture looked very old and run down, and both the windows and doors barely closed properly.
Soundproofing was practically nonexistent, the mattress was quite uncomfortable, and essential amenities like the hairdryer and iron did not work properly.
Overall, this was an unpleasant experience. With better maintenance, updated furnishings, and attention to basic comfort and functionality, this place could be much better, but as it stands, I cannot recommend it.
Victoria helped us throughout our stay and even coordinated a driver to pick us up from the airport. She went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Loved our stay!

Very close to main attractions, restaurants and to Spagna Metro
Nice room & excellent bathroom. Easy Check-in. Location was EXCELLENT! Great place to stay & hub out to site see. Numerous outstanding restaurants nearby. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.
Baboon Rooms is a great place to stay which is located right in the heart of town with the Spanish steps just metres away. My family and I walked to all the major landmarks from our hotel room. The rooms were clean and very stylish. Victory showed us some great places to eat and where we must visit.
The room was lovely and spacious for a family of 3.
The area was nice, very close to the Spanish steps and metro.
Vittoria who greeted us was very lovely and helped us with directions and places to eat.
We chose not to use the lift as felt it could be in a better condition, the stairs were alot after a day of sight seeing.
Overall we would go back due to location, room and friendly staff.
Great location, excellent service. Noisy located by a church so expect bells and street noise. Also an hour before checkout you get banging on your door. Lift works intermittently. Other than that the place is very good.
Lovely stay at Baboon Room. Host was very friendly, communicated with us via WhatsApp to arrange our arrival, and was always available remotely if we had a query. Room was nice, decorated as per photos, comfortable, always clean and coffee pods were topped up daily. The bathroom was modern, specious and had eco friendly shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap and moisturiser, a lovely touch. There is a communal kitchen/lounge area available for quests to use too.
Generally there is not someone on site at the desk so if you need assistance you utilise the contact numbers provided at the start. Location of the room was great, close to the Spanish steps and the upmarket shops, with other big attractions not taking too long to walk to. The closest metro station is Spagna, which you can get to by using the A line from Rome Termini.
Could not have been in a better location! WiFi was almost nonexistent was our ONLY complaint. The guest before us was extremely inconsiderate and left their luggage behind past their checkout time. The staff had to scramble to get the room ready for us around 5:00 because they did the right thing and didn’t mess with the luggage.
Vitoria, was a wonderful help to us. She answered all our questions, and made us feel welcome. The cleaner did a good job under the circumstances, with the room being in dire need of redecoration, the furniture old and tired. Lots of chipped damaged surfaces. The kettle didn’t work. The bathroom door frame coming off. When you leave your room and take your room card with you, all electrics are off. Our milk went sour in the fridge. The internet kept disconnecting, had to keep walking to the door for it to kick in again. Would I stay at the Baboon again. Absolutely not.
Although the location was convenient and close to shops and restaurants, the overall experience was underwhelming. The building and room felt outdated, and there were several issues during my stay. The elevator was wet from the rain, the towel rack in the bathroom was broken, and there was no mini fridge in the room, which was inconvenient.
The host wasn’t very friendly and seemed bothered when I asked her to confirm a taxi pickup. She also never responded to my message asking for toilet paper—which was frustrating, though thankfully I was leaving that morning.
On the plus side, the Trevi Fountain is about a 15-minute walk away, and the Spanish Steps are just 10 minutes, so the location is good for sightseeing.

AC does not work it is just a fan so they should not be listed in the description of the hotel. The place is well located but there is bad communication and awful service.. We did not stay one night and they did not want to refund money. Unfortunately i did not read all the reviews otherwise i would not booked this place.
Absolutely Disgusting — Checked Out Immediately and REFUSED a Refund
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. The room was absolutely filthy and completely unacceptable. The sheets were stained, the pillows had marks that appeared to be bodily fluids, the lampshades were stained, and the walls were covered in dirt and marks. The room was clearly not properly cleaned.
The common areas were equally disgusting. Wallpaper was falling off the walls, the refrigerator was unsanitary, and the hallway lights were flashing and malfunctioning. The entire property looked neglected and poorly maintained.
I was so disgusted and uncomfortable that I checked out immediately. Despite the condition of the room and the fact that I could not stay there, the hotel refused to give me a refund.
I cannot understand how a property in this condition is allowed to accept paying guests. This was not simply a disappointing stay — it was filthy, unsanitary, and completely unacceptable.
Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. I would never stay here again, and based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that others avoid this hotel. I will be more than happy to supply pictures!!! my name is Grace Longo
This place is conveniently located, there are lots of good stores and restaurants nearby

Lovely stay, my only issue was the unit had a very overpowering scent. I have scent allergies so it was a bit overstimulating. Otherwise a lovely stay. Our one daughter had to sleep on a vet small day bed at the end of the Master. The other room was was in a little alcove and was small as well.

The elevator to small, there is not way to speak with nobody in the place is more like an apartment than a hotel
Great sized room, lovely modern decor with a separated area for kids to sleep. The shower was huge and the water pressure/temperature was great. Coffee machine and pods provided in the room. only slight issues were main room could do with a black out curtain as the light shines into the room and the current curtain doesn’t work. The room is right next to the entrance to the building and the noise from people entering the building is quite loud in the room. Cute little social area where there is a fridge to put water and snacks etc… owner who met us was so nice, great service and she circled all the places to visit on a map for us. Was really close to the fountain, Spanish steps and loads of other must see sights.
