Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We LOVED this hotel. It is redone and modern and very calm and Zen like and built right next to a large Catholic church that provides a beautiful backdrop wall to their establishment. The bed was super comfortable. I believe they rent the space next to the church for their garden area where you have breakfast and then as a bar starting at 5pm. They upgraded us to a larger room that opens onto a floor level balcony that is private from the garden area. The staff are the BEST ever. I would stay there again if in Rome. There are many great restaurants close at hand.

Wonderful Aventine Sanctuary

A tranquil sanctuary exists as you step inside the door leaving behind the beautiful city beyond. The peaceful and calming environment allows you to venture out refreshed and ready to experience another day in the eternal city.

Helt nytt hotell i gammalt kloster, superfräsch med vacker o vilsam innergård, sköna sängar, lakan, badrockar. Härlig frukost med hipsterdragning, på egen bricka med möjlighet till olika val som tillagades på beställning. Nära till flera spännande områden - san Saba, ostiense, testaccio med butiker, restauranger och ”vanligt folk”. Några minuter till pendeltåget som tar en till havet, Ostia på 30 min eller Ostia antica (fantastiskt!).
