Zaouia of Sidi Boumakhlouf

For 3 nights our stay was really good! The room was smaller than we expected but still nice. Breakfast was great and the lady serving was lovely! Offered scrambled eggs and cappuccinos every morning which was amazing. This is a boutique hotel so it’s only on one floor of the building but instructions to get in were easy to follow! We did think the sauna / spa was a free option however we found out it costed €50+. The area of the hotel was amazing and had so much shopping and food options around! Really central!

This hotel was absolutely amazing! My sister and I loved the location. Although it’s a bit outside the main city centre, the subway was only about an 8-minute walk away, which made getting around Rome super easy. We even caught the high-speed train just a short 5-minute metro ride away! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful—they arranged a private airport transfer for both our arrival and departure, which made everything so convenient. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options: cappuccinos, a variety of croissants and pastries, eggs, bacon, bread, and more! Everything was fresh and tasty. The cleanliness of this place really stood out. I’m quite particular about that, and I can honestly say the rooms were spotless. Housekeeping came by daily to clean and provide fresh towels, which was greatly appreciated. There were also lots of great and affordable food spots within walking distance—like Mamma Pizza, Alice Pizza, and a fantastic gelato shop. As Canadians, we found the prices really reasonable compared to other parts of Europe. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would definitely come back!

The hotel is very close to the Vatican. St. Peter's Basilica is just a 5-8 minute walk away. Unfortunately, the hotel is undergoing renovations and has several issues. We experienced annoying noises, no hot water in the shower, and very inattentive staff. Breakfast was the best part of our stay. They should inform guests about the renovations so they can make an informed decision when choosing a hotel.
