We were in their new hotel down the street from the La Papessa and it was right off the Corso so we could walk to many of the sites one would want to visit in Rome. It was a good value compared to other hotels in the area. The management could not have been more helpful, even supplying our specialty... More

I've choose La Papessa over its good ratings and now I'm adding a good review because they're deserving it to the last letter. As the name says, it's a guest house; they provide you a nice, big, well decorated and clean room with a bathroom. Continental breakfast also included in the room price. Location is great; It's close to almost... More

I am so glad I took the chance on this little hotel. It was like having our own apartment in Rome! The location is perfect. 5-10 minute walk to everything and about a 30 minute walk to Vatican City. Yes, it can get a little noisy in the evening, but it totally dies down by 11, and you are on... More

In short, I agree completely with all the nice descriptions by other guests: The modern and well equipped rooms, the friendly and efficient service etc.etc.etc. Two small comments, though, which apply to many hotels in Rome: Rooms are very well insulated, but nothing can completely stop the sound of an Italian ambulance siren tthrough a narrow street at night.

My husband and I stayed at La Papessa last week for a few days while on vacation in Rome. The hotel is perfectly located--almost all major attractions are within easy walking distance. The rooms are fine--nothing extravagant, but clean and big enough and a great value for the price. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. We couldn't have been... More

With it's location in between Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon you can't find a better spot to be. All the major sites are within walking distance.

Hello Dears, Many thanks for your review . We are happy that you enjoyed La Papessa, but we are sorry for the noise that comes from the street. As you could see there are double glasses in the windows but in the meantime we're looking for something else that can stop the outside noise (maybe some special inside windows). The... More
