The Ripa Hotel has a nice website and that is about it. The location is not great...ca. 15 min. walk to the restaurant/s bars in Trastevere district. This is a bit far for Rome standards, but ok. However to walk there is a bit tricky as when exiting the hotel there is no sidewalks etc. The hotel may have some... more

Nothing related with a 4 star hotel, but closer to a 2 stars. Most of the rooms they have are not even similar to those you can see in their web page. We had to claim two times for getting a "normal room". The location, although in the Trastevere is not very good, it is in a quite isolated area.... more

My stay here was a positive one. The Front Desk staff was extremely helpful, calling cabs for me whenever necessary, answering questions, providing umbrellas, etc. The only negatives which I hope the Management would think about correcting are the following, all having to do with the bathroom: (1) There are no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels, robes, clothing,... more

Having been surprised to see so many negative reviews about the Ripa Hotel I felt compelled to write about my own overall positive impressions of the place. It's a fine hotel, maybe not the same 4-star standard one might expect elsewhere in Europe, but it's clean, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and we found the staff very friendly and... more

This hotel is stated as a four star venue but on arriving here you can see from the outside that it is going to fall somewhat short of this. Ths facade is crumbling (and not in a good old-world way) with missing render and plaster on most balconies. Check in was very smooth and the staff very helpful. Our room,... more

What a con!! The hotel website makes this place look amazing and you are lulled into a false sense of minimalist chic. When you finally find the place (down a back street and most of the locals don't even know it!), you are surrounded by scaffolding. The reception, cocktail bar and dining room are fine, nothing special. However the room... more

Hotel Ripa is a super place to stay if you want a real Roman neighborhood away from the touristy-commercial area. Yet, tranportation to the sights is very convenient. We enjoyed the small local eateries and piazzas in Trastevare. The hotel personnel is very friendly and accommodating. If you don't like "Italian modern" you won't like the decor. We found it... more

On arrival we were prepared for ugliness of the hotel in terms of its immediate surroundings, and we were not surprised when we approached a smartish-looking front to the hotel, but overlooking a carpark and rough tenement buildings. The only plus point is that it is very near Trastervere and also nearby for trams. On first inspection the room looked... more

I and few of my girlfriends from work decided we wanted a cheap but short weekend break away and we weren't disappointed. Not only was the city of Rome amazingly beautiful but The Ripa hotel met all of our requirements and was a very pleasant and comfortable place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and... more
