I very much enjoyed my stay at Palazzo Medusa and would definitely stay there again. I loved the location as it was less touristy and centrally located for easy walking to all areas of interest. Great cafés near by as well. The staff were very accommodating and very helpful.

Friendly and caring staff. Comfortable room. Location to attractions especially the Vatican and Tiber River makes this a great choice. Entrance a little tricky. Cafe at the corner has American breakfast, great lunch and “go figure” tasty pastries.

Awesome place to stay! Walkable to everything, lots of dining options near by. All the history of Rome is just down the street. As for the hotel, it was clean and perfect. The staff was awesome and friendly, room was clean and had all the amenities needed. The area was quiet (for Rome standards), I didn’t have a car so can’t comment on parking. Otherwise near the main streets, easy to call a cab or walkable to the train. I’d recommend this hotel and I’d stay here again. Cheers

I absolutely love this place the stay was amazing. The only thing was the water in the shower wouldn’t go away fast I had to pause in between so I can let the water go away before turning it on. You can hear between walls sometimes specially at night and in the morning when people would come in and out.i will be back I’ll bring my white noise next time. Very safe neighborhood more quiet than other which is a plus.

We enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Medusa. The staff were very attentive. We were locked out of our room one evening and someone came quickly to assist us. We were able to walk easily to all of the places we wanted to see. Lots of restaurants and shops close by.
