Monica was amazing! She was so friendly and helpful. We would go back to see her. The building itself really gives you the historic vibe of Rome. The location is perfect for site seeing, dining, and shopping. We walked everywhere! The breakfast was very average and the room was nice but basic - not what we expected for the price we paid. The bathroom and shower were both good!

Fabulous stay in Relais Maddelena

What a great hotel and in such fabulous location. Listen to Monica when she recommends restaurants - she knows of what she speaks. We tried both her recommendations and they were outstanding.

Overall the guest house is excellent, based just on its location, literally 30 seconds from the Pantheon. The rooms are clean and there is someone available in person during the day and by WhatsApp 24hrs. We did have no internet for a couple of days which I suspect was by freak chance.

Great location at the heart of Rome. Very welcoming and lovely clean room with lots of storage. Although a minor point the breakfasts were terrible and I would suggest opting to avoid if you can. Surly service, stale croissants in a very cramped room.

Great location! No elevator but the stairs were not bad . Breakfast was good 😊 It was definitely a great locations little noisy outside just wear earplugs

Brilliant!

Monica was BRILLIANT! Emails I sent and gave to face questions were met with that fantastic Italian nature and vibrancy. Top stay in a top hotel with a top set of staff, thank you!

Monica at main desk was extremely helpful and kind. Breakfast options and hospitality was v nice.

Great boutique place lively at night and a lot of fun

What a great place! Location is fantastic, Monica was amazing. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful weekend

Had a lovely weekend in Rome. Hotel was lovely, excellent decor, friendly staff. Monica couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was excellent.

Central location, friendly and helpful staff!

Centrally located with easy access to all areas of the city and just steps from the Pantheon. Great shopping and restaurants around the corner. Monica at reception was fantastic and a wealth of information! She provided a bunch of tips and made great recommendations. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great place right next to Pantheon. We walked everywhere. 25 minutes to Colosseum in one direction. 25 minutes to Vatican in other direction. Trevi, Spanish Steps. The room is big. We had 2 bedrooms, one bath and it was great. Staff was amazing. Breakfast is pastries, fruit,toast. Staff will make you a cappuccino. Monica at front desk deserves a raise. Don’t bring her food. She is on a diet and has no willpower 😂😂. She’s a great and very funny. You won’t regret staying here.

Property was in an excellent location, very easy walk to get to all areas, staff where fantastic gave us some great dining recommendations and room itself was very nice, clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend.

Worlds friendliest staff!

Probably the friendliest staff we've ever met in a hotel! Took their time to make us feel welcome and gave us lots of tips on where to go in Rome. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you!

The hotel was very convenient and easy waling distance from pretty much everything. Around 30 min to Colosseum and Vatican were longest walks. The hotel was not as sound-proof meaning we could hear outside activities. No suggestion of room upgrade or gift although we didn't ask. Would have been nice to have at least one hot option for breakfast.

Excellent boutique hotel with solid four star amenities in the heart of rome. Older building meticulously and tastefully refurbished to give one a sense of having own place in Rome. Reception not 24 hrs but this adds to the personalized nature of the experience with staff when on duty during the day making sure you are made to feel at home. Excellent linen quality and in-room amenities. Steps from the Pantheon, via del Corso and everywhere you need to be in Rome. A rare spot. Breakfast selections are good for the boutique nature of the establishment although not as decadent as many larger Roman four star hotel selections. Highly recommend for both family and romantic getaways.

It is a well-located property, although the building is old, the staff provides a great service. Great price-value relationship!

Family Holiday in Rome

Excellent location. Rooms big. Stairs to room no lift Breakfast was tasty. Perfect for teenage kids. Great area

10/10 property and staff

Great staff and a great place to stay if you desire to be in the middle of the city where everything is walkable!

The staff (especially Monica) was amazing and super friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a very nice and convenient place that’s close to all the site seeing spots and even walkable to the Vatican and Colosseum. Would recommend this place for sure!

Excellent location. Safe, clean and well appointed. The only negative is noise from the bar below our room but it would stop by 11:00.

The stsy at Relais Maddalena was fantastic, and the property all we imagined. Likewise the staff coujd not have been more helpful. Highly recommended

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room has old touches with modern amenities and a bed that’s ultra comfortable. The breakfast room is small but they served a wide variety, inclusive of fresh fruit and tasty pastries. Location makes it walking distance to all major attractions. An excellent option.

Great hotel!

Lovely hotel overlooking a piazza with a chiesa. Close to restaurants and shopping. Walking distance to trevi and the pantheon. The staff is fantastic and the room is extremely comfortable.

Excellent location. But it will be better if it has an elevator.

Great location

This hotel is in a perfect location. We were welcomed and assisted with our luggage. The room was very comfortable. Francesca the manager was so accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was perfect for us good quality food. I will recommend this hotel. The picture is from our room

Staff was very helpful …. Good location once you find it .

The staff was very helpful recommending restaurants, and areas to avoid. Helping us feel welcome and safe.

This is a great property and a very convenient area for walking to several historical sites. The staff was wonderful a rooms very clean and spacious. The only drawback (especially for older guests) was the lack of a lift. Carrying luggage up and down steps that are old and somewhat uneven was difficult. Staff carried some of our bags up on arrival, but we carried them down ourselves. Great place other than that one thing.

Loved this bed & breakfast hotel. Wonderful room with balconette access to the plaza and beautiful views. We were given a bottle of wine and espresso at arrival and continental breakfast each morning. Monica was very helpful with directions everywhere we needed to go. Would love to stay there again.

Monica was so helpful! We really enjoyed our stay! Would highly recommend!!

The room was great and the location was phenomenal. The staff offered great recommendations and assisted in coordinating transportation to the airport after our stay. I’d highly recommend this to anyone on their visit to Rome.

A beautiful place to start while taking in all Rome had to offer. A quiet retreat from the crowds

The room was nice and our host was lovely and helped us as soon as we arrived to get familiar with the lighting/card key system at the facility. The host answered all our questions about where to eat, where to go off the beaten path to get some amazing photos. It was a nice plus to have breakfast of pastries, fruit, juice, yogurt, etc. to start our day. I would easily recommend this B&B to anyone.

The bed was very uncomfortable and I didn’t like that there is no reception

What a gem! It was so close to many attractions and the Piazza right outside the front door was full of restaurants and shopping! Monica was so helpful and made our stay that much better. This place is a perfect get away, and we would love to come back and stay here again on our next trip to Rome.

Location is great. Room was right over a restaurant, so very noisy. Bathroom smelled like old urine. Shower needed a caulking job as there was black mold around the whole thing. Very small breakfast room with minimal choices for breakfast. Bedspread was old and pilling. Bed and sheets were very comfortable. WiFi connection was bad.

Lovely hotel in the most perfect location. Our room had no view but it was quite spacious for Rome. Monica was very helpful in suggesting places to visit and making restaurant recommendations and booking a taxi to the airport. Wonderful stay!

Superb location in Rome within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the city!

Nice hotel with clean soft bedding. Our room overlooked the Piazza and a great view but wasn’t very big. The couple we were with had a room on the other side of the hotel and they didn’t have a view but the room was huge with a separate living room. Overall a great little find. The only downside was having to climb a very large an old staircase to the rooms. There was no elevator.

Historic building in perfect location. The room decor was very nice. Great staff. Clean rooms. The only drawback was the staircase- no lift due to historic bldg. Also no news channels available in English. Satellite seemed to be down. Otherwise fabulous!!!

Excellent location for walking in the city. Mostly quiet although there was a late Tuesday night concert lasting until perhaps 11 a.m.. At least it was soft rock. Clean with a great host.

Awesome time! The hospitality was fantastic.

This is a small, older property with lots of charm yet modern amenities. Monica, the property manager met us as we walked through the front doors to check in and we were pampered until we left. She booked airport transfers, taxis, and made dinner suggestions that were on point. The best part about this property is the location. You are in the very heart of Rome and can walk to many of the attractions. There is also a taxi stand close by and we never had a problem getting anywhere in the city. The only drawback are the steps leading into the hotel foyer as ther is no elevator. Rome is a very special place and so is this lovely hotel.

Fabulous location, fabulous assistance. A great stay. Our room was wonderful. Thank you!

The hotel is 1 minute from the Pantheon. Nice location and you only have to take your luggage up and down the stairs twice.

We loved our stay here! When we first arrived we were able to find our way to the office and check in and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a view into the square which let us enjoy the atmosphere of Rome. We were able to walk just about everywhere within 15 minutes. We would highly recommend staying here! Thank you again for the amazing stay.

Property was in a good location close to restaurants and Pantheon and Trevi The “reception” was only manned the day we checked in, no one was there the next 2 days. What was not okay was that we had cold water for showers, freezing cold for 2 days. There was no one at reception to tell. I’d pick another next time

3-day mini holiday in Rome

The hotel was right next to the Pantheon Square, the room had two windows that looked out to the lovely church opposite and the bars and shops outside. The bathroom and walk-in shower was excellent with plenty of hot water and fresh towels daily. The wardrobes were spacious with hangers provided. The breakfast facility was good with plenty of fresh fruit, cereals and yoghurts available. The staff were very friendly and helpful, with one even helping us book our Vatican and Coliseum trip. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wishing to stay in central Rome

My wife and I had the most pleasant stay here. Monica, the hotel employee, was wonderful. She was always very attentive to our needs and so helpful. We loved staying here and would definitely come back. The room was just what we needed and the breakfast was great.

Thank you to Monica who was so welcoming and provided so much advice on what to do and where to go especially places to eat. The room was really comfortable with a beautiful view of the piazza below.

It’s in the heat of Rome where you have everything at walkable distance restaurants, shopping and monuments

Property is a good walking location for many sites. Staff is WONDERFUL, and very helpful.

Thank you!

We had a great time in Rome! Monica was an amazing host. She welcomed us with a delicious bubbly glass of wine as she recommended great restaurants and things to do while in Rome! She was the best. The staff was great too—the breakfast spread had many goodies and the cappuccino was simply amazing!

We stayed here on a long layover. The hotel is in the thick of it. It is right on the Piazza della Maddalena. The Pantheon is a brief walk away. Our room overlooked the piazza and was beautiful, clean, and cool with stylish bathroom. Highly recommended.

Nice location. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Hotel amenities can be better.

Our family of six enjoyed our 5 night stay at this lovely hotel. We booked two spacious rooms with lots of storage. Room 1808, offered privacy for our son and his family. Room 1797, gave my wife and I an awesome view of the piazza. Breakfast was great and Monica helped us out with friendly and insightful conversations while providing excellent restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect thank you and it had real AC

Location was amazing. Host was great to talk to and helpful with suggestions.

Hotel was lovely. Located right by the Panrheon. Lots of places to eat. Monica was excellent and so helpful.

location is excellent

First, you need to know that the hotel is more like an Air B&B. The entrance is between two restaurants; you would never know it unless someone helped you. It is a cutout door on a larger door, so you second-guess yourself. When you enter the door, you will see steps going to the second floor to the small receptionist desk where you check-in. The suite was nice and (cool), which was a welcome addition, as not all hotels have good air conditioning. The manager was very accommodating, and we enjoyed our stay. Remember, it's in the heart of the city, so getting to this location is not the easiest task.

Lots of character and spacious. Great location. Most everything is walkable or short taxi ride. Staff was very friendly.

The manager was very kind and helpful. A truly wonderful lady.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The staff was very helpful with everything that we requested and offered even more options that we didn’t consider. Highly recommend this property you won’t be disappointed.

Monica helped us while we stayed here and even before check in was incredibly communicative and helpful, she let us know there was a bike race the day of our departure which could cause issues getting around so helped us plan a taxi around that so we made it to the airport on time. The property itself is in an incredible location, literally a 20 second walk to the pantheon. Because of this location it's tough to get to by car in the middle of the day, that being said our drivers managed and there were no problems. Our room was upgraded while we stayed here so it was very spacious with a whole big closet, big bedroom and bathroom. There was breakfast included, and the cappuccino was amazing as well as the breakfast spread. There is a buzzer for the building and for the ante-room that we had to enter before our room and in the morning that was pretty loud and active. There is no elevator, this is an old, authentic building in a beautiful plaza. There are restaurants outside of the hotel where we had dinner our last evening and there was live music in the square which was magical, yet our room remained quiet. The room was stocked daily with bottles of wine, snacks, water, and mini fridge. I'd rate the hair dryer in the room a 4/5 - typical hotel hair dryer, less powerful than one you might have at home but gets the job done.

Perfect for Sightseeing!

We had the BEST stay here. The woman at the front desk is amazing. She helped us carry our bags and just treated us soo good. The room was so beautiful and huge and the breakfast was delicious. This hotel is in the middle of everything. I have stayed many places in Rome and this was by far my favorite.

My husband and I stayed at Relais Maddalena and we absolutely adored our time there. Monica was incredibly helpful pointing out several restaurants and attractions in the area. All of her recommendations were amazing, take her advice on restaurants especially. All of the major attractions in central Rome were about a 20 minute walk or less. We could see the Pantheon from our window. The area felt safe and welcoming. The room was large and clean with charming decor that added the right level of modernity without losing all of the charm of the building.

Rome

First time in Rome. Hotels, location was great. All staff reception and breakfast were helpful and knowledgeable. as a side benefit, the bed was very comfortable had a room with a view of the plaza, which was also good.

This was the best location ever!!! Walk to Trevi Fountain, Pantheon basically everything was within walking distance. We walked to Vatican and Colosseum. Rooms were beyond charming and everything and everyone at the hotel was simply amazing!!!

The hotel staff were extremely helpful. The room was nice with plenty of places to store our things. We spent five nights there and would definitely repeat. Perfect location to explore Rome’s top tourist sites and very charming view from our window. Lots of really good restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

Walking around

The Relais Maddalena is a little oasis in a bustling part of Rome. The accommodations are comfortable, and the bistro for breakfast is a perfect way to meet new friends. Monica is a gem and helped us navigate some tricky transportation. She’s friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely book this property again.

Location was key for us. Very short walks to major sites of interest. However, Monica was exceptional! She helped us with our luggage, climbing one flight of stairs, providing detailed sight seeing, restaurants and taxi service assistance. She made our stay very comfortable and pleasant. The room is fairly small and kept nicely. A quaint Breakfast provided was much appreciated. We would stay here again for sure.

A beautiful place with a lot of characters. The location is excellent and in the middle of everything. Loved the girl Monika at the reception.

Great area and wonderful service,

You cannot go wrong with the location. 1 minute walk to the pantheon. Up to 20 minutes walk from all the attractions. It is a wonderful cozy historic building with only few room and wonderful staff. They are very helpful in any request and help solve any issue. The room was very specious, clean and equipped. Just know you have to go up 1 flight of stairs to get to the room.

Great location and walked easily to all the sites

Would stay here again!

Prime location. Clean, safe and great breakfast

The hotel is first class… run by very professional and friendly staff. Went out of their way to make our stay special

This property's biggest highlight is the location. It is a stone's throw from the Pantheon and the Jewish Quarter. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was neat and clean and we had plenty of towels. Monica was amazing with respect to recommendations for food and visits. She helped schedule our taxi for our next day departure to the airport, and the taxi was on time and extremely professional. We forgot one of our bags in the hotel and they had the bag waiting for us when we made our way back to pick it up. We so appreciate that!

Great location and great staff.

We really liked the hotel and the location was ideal for walking to all the main tourist spots. The staff were really friendly and helpful and added to the whole experience. We would definitely look at staying here again on our next visit to Rome.

Lovely hotel in perfect location

We had a great 3 nights at this hotel - the room was lovely and window looked onto a beautiful square outside. Room surprisingly quiet in spite of central location. Breakfast with fresh fruit, cakes and toast / cheese and meats all fresh and tasty. Coffee / cappachino made to order. Would recommend.

Monica and the rest of the staff was amazing. We would stay here again.

Glorious location and the front desk staff was amazing

Stay in Rome

This hotel was the coolest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Our host Monica was an absolute angel and our time in Rome would not have been the same without her. She recommended so many good places to visit and food to seek out and was so fun to talk to. The breakfast was awesome. Monica told us to try the cappuccinos and they did not disappoint. This is the only place I will stay if I ever come back to Rome. 10/10

Monica was AMAZING. Very welcoming. The room was wonderful. Fantastic location. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is a semi Airbnb type of a hotel which gives you the feeling of living in Rome rather than visiting. Rooms are on the larger side, clean and comfortable, breakfast is basic but good. It is very central, few minutes walking distance to Pantheon. If you want to get the feel of the city it is perfect but if you want a hotel with a lobby and 24/7 receptionist this is not the place for you.

This place is walking distance to many historical sites. Monica was amazing and knowledgeable to the area.

We had a wonderful stay here, it was the perfect location for a weekend in Rome close to everything. And Monica was so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. A gem of a fund

Week in Rome

My husband and I really enjoyed the week stay from the moment we arrived at the door till we left, they made you feel right at home. Very helpful with any questions you had, to where to eat and arranging transportation to and from the airport with ease. The location was fantastic, walking distance to everything! The only place we took a taxi was to the train station for a couple of day trips, and there was a taxi stand very close to the hotel. Would highly recommend staying here and we definitely would stay here again!

Staff are excellent, location is unique and the room is very comfortable

Great rooms and perfectly located in the hearth of Rome

Old old

Lovely place in ideal location

Located in the heart of the historic part of Rome near the Pantheon. Ideally situated for the key sites. Great advice and recommendations from the management/owner - she was incredibly helpful. Big room overlooking the square in an old building. Ideal.

Fantastic location!

Close to everything. I was looking to stay near a lively area and this didn’t disappoint. Very old building but beautiful. Customer service was wonderful. Nice breakfast every morning.

Be aware the people at this hotel will steal. I would not recommend to stay there. Very unsafe. First time in my life i have this experience. Despite this the entrance is a stairs and stairs so if you arrived with the baggage there is no way to bring it to your room. Also this not a Hotel this is a guest house.
