The location was excellent and the linens and towels were clean, which was a plus. However, the property itself was not well maintained, which significantly impacted our stay. On arrival, we immediately noticed how thin the walls were, we could clearly hear conversations from neighbouring rooms. Inside the room, there was a strong, unpleasant smell, likely from an unchanged AC filter. The fridge was noisy, the furniture looked very old and run down, and both the windows and doors barely closed properly. Soundproofing was practically nonexistent, the mattress was quite uncomfortable, and essential amenities like the hairdryer and iron did not work properly. Overall, this was an unpleasant experience. With better maintenance, updated furnishings, and attention to basic comfort and functionality, this place could be much better, but as it stands, I cannot recommend it.

This was not a standard hotel, more like a privately owned rental. We booked it in an emergency situation with a very late arrival. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodated us and sent us clear instructions on how to enter the property. For the location and price it was great for what we needed. I am normally used to the luxuries and amenities of a real hotel, and was very nervous on my first impression of the property and inside the building. Once we finally did enter our actual room it was really nice and clean and had everything a standard hotel would have. The staff was extremely kind and helpful and i appreciated there patience and understanding with all of our arrival time schedule changes! One thing worth mentioning, This area of rome it was very hard to find a store after 11pm , we needed water and we had to walk about a kilometer to find a store that was open. And no coffee shops open at 7am either.

Baboon Rooms is a great place to stay which is located right in the heart of town with the Spanish steps just metres away. My family and I walked to all the major landmarks from our hotel room. The rooms were clean and very stylish. Victory showed us some great places to eat and where we must visit.

The room was lovely and spacious for a family of 3. The area was nice, very close to the Spanish steps and metro. Vittoria who greeted us was very lovely and helped us with directions and places to eat. We chose not to use the lift as felt it could be in a better condition, the stairs were alot after a day of sight seeing. Overall we would go back due to location, room and friendly staff.

Great location, excellent service. Noisy located by a church so expect bells and street noise. Also an hour before checkout you get banging on your door. Lift works intermittently. Other than that the place is very good.

Lovely stay in Rome

Lovely stay at Baboon Room. Host was very friendly, communicated with us via WhatsApp to arrange our arrival, and was always available remotely if we had a query. Room was nice, decorated as per photos, comfortable, always clean and coffee pods were topped up daily. The bathroom was modern, specious and had eco friendly shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap and moisturiser, a lovely touch. There is a communal kitchen/lounge area available for quests to use too. Generally there is not someone on site at the desk so if you need assistance you utilise the contact numbers provided at the start. Location of the room was great, close to the Spanish steps and the upmarket shops, with other big attractions not taking too long to walk to. The closest metro station is Spagna, which you can get to by using the A line from Rome Termini.

Could not have been in a better location! WiFi was almost nonexistent was our ONLY complaint. The guest before us was extremely inconsiderate and left their luggage behind past their checkout time. The staff had to scramble to get the room ready for us around 5:00 because they did the right thing and didn’t mess with the luggage.

Vitoria, was a wonderful help to us. She answered all our questions, and made us feel welcome. The cleaner did a good job under the circumstances, with the room being in dire need of redecoration, the furniture old and tired. Lots of chipped damaged surfaces. The kettle didn’t work. The bathroom door frame coming off. When you leave your room and take your room card with you, all electrics are off. Our milk went sour in the fridge. The internet kept disconnecting, had to keep walking to the door for it to kick in again. Would I stay at the Baboon again. Absolutely not.

Although the location was convenient and close to shops and restaurants, the overall experience was underwhelming. The building and room felt outdated, and there were several issues during my stay. The elevator was wet from the rain, the towel rack in the bathroom was broken, and there was no mini fridge in the room, which was inconvenient. The host wasn’t very friendly and seemed bothered when I asked her to confirm a taxi pickup. She also never responded to my message asking for toilet paper—which was frustrating, though thankfully I was leaving that morning. On the plus side, the Trevi Fountain is about a 15-minute walk away, and the Spanish Steps are just 10 minutes, so the location is good for sightseeing.

Absolutely Disgusting — Checked Out Immediately and REFUSED a Refund This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. The room was absolutely filthy and completely unacceptable. The sheets were stained, the pillows had marks that appeared to be bodily fluids, the lampshades were stained, and the walls were covered in dirt and marks. The room was clearly not properly cleaned. The common areas were equally disgusting. Wallpaper was falling off the walls, the refrigerator was unsanitary, and the hallway lights were flashing and malfunctioning. The entire property looked neglected and poorly maintained. I was so disgusted and uncomfortable that I checked out immediately. Despite the condition of the room and the fact that I could not stay there, the hotel refused to give me a refund. I cannot understand how a property in this condition is allowed to accept paying guests. This was not simply a disappointing stay — it was filthy, unsanitary, and completely unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. I would never stay here again, and based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that others avoid this hotel. I will be more than happy to supply pictures!!! my name is Grace Longo

Lovely stay, my only issue was the unit had a very overpowering scent. I have scent allergies so it was a bit overstimulating. Otherwise a lovely stay. Our one daughter had to sleep on a vet small day bed at the end of the Master. The other room was was in a little alcove and was small as well.
