This is my favorite hotel in Europe! They are so nice, the building is super secure, the in room snacks were great, and the location is central enough walk to nearly everything. I will stay here again if I’m ever able to make it back to Rome!

Very attentive staff and the hotel is located in an excellent location.

Excellent location. As per other comments, very quirky hotel with an amazing amount of food in the room. The phrase less is more springs to mind as there was so much much there wasn’t a lot of space to prepare the food. If the amount was to be reduced and perhaps provide some fresh rolls/croissants, would be a nicer more practicable option. The bed was very comfy and the shower was excellent, warm and powerful. Lots of other extras in the bathroom such as travel toothbrush/shave kit, shower cap etc. Really enjoyed our stay and the location was great for all the main attractions within a reasonable walking distance. One minor point, there was no iron available whatsoever, for safety reasons however, the room had a milk frother, mini oven and a hot dog warmer. Just a personal thing, but access to an iron, even if from reception, would be a good improvement. 24hr access via a security gate into the apartment and was straight forward. Would happily stay here again as we really enjoyed or short stay.

Wonderful location. Very convenient. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Lots of stairs to lobby but hotel accommodated us with room on main floor. Shower is very tiny. If you are looking for a great hotel in a great location this is perfect. Loads of restaurants nearby. Very convenient to busses taxi stand and Metro. Walking distance to many attractions. Very different experience than your average US/Canadian Holiday Inn though!! We loved it despite the stairs.

lovely hotel with a keen eye for detail

Let me start by saying that the Hotel Barrett staff are very nice but felt more like a revolving door of people than someone we could provide feedback to. My husband and I arrived at noon (local time) and we were told our room would be ready at 3:30. We explored and anxiously awaited our 3:30 check in as we were experiencing jet lag. The room wasn’t ready until closer to 4pm which was disappointing. When we got to the room, the amenities were good and we were given a bottle of wine. However, the fridge in the room didn’t work (hot) which wouldn’t have been an issue it was just to keep our stuff cold but the main reason we booked the hotel was for the food and drink offerings after a long flight - the meat, cheese and cold cuts were inedible. Additionally and most egregiously, the bathroom (with 2 steps leading to it) had no mats. As a result, I slipped down both steps after getting out of the shower. This was the first night of our honeymoon and I’ve been dealing with the consequences ever since (minor fracture in my foot, severe bruising and pain). We only stayed one night at Hotel Barrett and while it was a nice location, we wouldn’t stay there again.

Stay was pleasant! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Location was also great!

There are about 40 stairs to get up to the hotel. Then we had another 10-15 to get to the room. Way too many for the oldest of our group. The room was super tiny, we could only walk one at a time from the bed to the bathroom. There was no space for our luggage, except under the bed. After one night we left due to the tiny room and all the stairs.

Very small, you have to see trash cans from restaurants. You hear restaurants’ workers conversation at first time in the morning. No help provided to get luggage 3 stories down.

Amazing staff and amenities!

The hostess, Annette, was absolutely the best!! The historic building is beautiful. The breakfast spread is insane -- the care and thought that goes into that was wonderful to see.

They held our luggage for us so we could start exploring right away. Nice friendly staff. Above a restaurant and more on the front street. The Ruins were in front of the building. Walkable to major sites!

This is a quirky hotel in the ideal location for getting anywhere you want to be in Rome. Over the top decor and tight space, but comfortable and friendly. We stay here every time we come to Rome, and wont consider anywhere else. Truly, its not for everyone (3 floor walk up!), but when you love it you love it. Thanks again for a wonderful stay, Hotel Barrett!

It is a unique hotel, tiny and corky, but we enjoyed our short stay here. They do not serve breakfast, but they had a mini bar that was free and absolutely full of everything and anything you could ever think of for breakfast well worth our one night stay here Location was great and in short walking distance to all the restaurants, stores and the usual attractions

The staff at Hotel Barrett were outstanding from the moment we arrived. So friendly and helpful with a room containing all home comforts and more. From a fridge in our room fully stocked with drinks, meats, cheeses and more to the massage chair and foot massager in our room. Our stay was a delight and so close to all the main attractions with bus stops directly outside. I really can’t praise this hotel and its staff enough they made us feel so at home. Even giving a gift at the start and end of our stay. Book this hotel. You will not regret! Thank you 😊

This amazing hotel is a true hidden gem with an easy walk to most of Rome's most popular attractions! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. This is a boutique hotel so if you're used to chain hotels this might not be for you but if you like quirky, unique hotels, dont miss this one.

Great location, great staff

If you want a centrally located hotel with a bizarre interior, this is your place. My first complaint was that nowhere on there description does it say that the your need to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get into the hotel, so with 2 - bags over 50 lbs. and 2 other bags over over 30 lbs., you can see how stairs could be difficult. Once you get into what they call a lobby, all of the craziness starts and the rooms don't get any better. The pictures they show is just the beginning. And then you step into the bathroom that you feel your stepping into a capsule that send you into space and is so small where you can only raise 1 arm at a time to wash or you bang your arms/elbows into the walls.

We got in very late and staff ensured we had everything, which included a fully stocked fridge
