I have stayed a few times pre-covid and always loved San Pio. They have renovated the restaurant area since covid and now serve dinner - very good option after a big tourist day. The lovely F&B staff and Housekeeping staff really make the difference at San Pio. The highlight is always breakfast in the lovely atrium - so beautiful! I love staying in Aventino in a suburb of Rome rather than in the chaos of of the centre - who needs that stress on holiday - and yet it is 20 mins walk to Colosseo and public transport nearby can get you to every corner of Rome. Thank you for another very enjoyable visit.

I had to leave for the airport - mind you Madeira was also great!

The hotel has very good decor and the room size was bigger than expected with a whirlpool bath and shower. The breakfast was better than average but was a little repetitive. The location wasn't the worst as the area is near metro stations and a little further out than most tourist traps.

The only slight negative was the breakfast as I prefer a cooked option in addition to breads and cereals but this didn't detract from a great overall experience.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Hotel Via San Pillo and couldn’t recommend it more highly! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this hotel is a gem. One of the standout features was the delicious breakfast served each morning. The variety of fresh, high-quality options set us up perfectly for the day ahead. Whether we were enjoying a selection of pastries, fresh fruit, or a hearty Italian breakfast, each meal was a delight. The property itself is equally impressive. The beautifully maintained gardens offered a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a joy to wander through the lush greenery and find a peaceful spot to relax. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The highlight was undoubtedly the large, modern shower—an invigorating way to start or end each day. The room’s cozy ambiance made it a perfect retreat after exploring the city. Additionally, the hotel’s location is fantastic. Being within walking distance to the Colosseum made our sightseeing so convenient. We could easily stroll to this iconic landmark and immerse ourselves in the rich history of Rome. In summary, Hotel Via San Pillo offers a perfect blend of comfort, excellent service, and an ideal location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome!

Could have better selection of food / drinks at hotel restaurant. Breakfast was great though!

This is an excellent hotel in a convenient excellent location. A quiet neighborhood, but 10 minutes to walk to restaurants. The staff was extremely helpful when I tripped and twisted my ankle, supplying ice and lots of support. The gardens and surroundings are beautiful. The restaurant is comfortable and the food is delicious!

Our only suggestion would be that for non smokers it would help to have a designated outdoor area for people who want to sit outside and enjoy the beauty without having to breathe in the smoke.......

So many things to like about this place: One of the best possible locations in Rome, just outside the tourist flows, but still close enough to everything (some 10 mins on foot to Circo Massimo, and another 7 or so to the Colloseum) in a green and quiet oasis full of hidden gems (in particular various chruches and Benedictine monasteries). Clean, comfy rooms with generous balconies, and all the luxury one needs, but nothing ostentatious. Decent breakfast buffet (although it can get a bit boring over several days) with sufficient salty choice, unlike most bars in Italy which will only serve you sweet stuff for breakfast. And above all nice and helpful (and fortunately not intrusive or overly eager to please) staff whether at breakfast, cleaning or front desk (and thinking here of signore Ettore in particular).

The location is great. Nice and hidden making it very quiet. Staff were very attentive and always happy to help and assist. The gardens within the property and the decor is beautiful and sets it apart from a standard hotel.

The room facilities need updated. The shower is a big grubby and our sheets had dry blood looking stains on them - droplets. The hair dryer is terrible so bring your own. And a kettle or a free bottle of water would have been a nice addition. Also, the room became unbearably hot. We turned the ‘air conditioning’ on but it just blew warm air. So we slept with the windows open all night, which was fine until 7am when locals left for work.

The Area The plants & layout The breakfast The room.

I have stayed in this hotel a minimum of 20 times yet am never given any rewards for loyalty. Never offered a nicer room or upgrade. I have always come with a group either from 3-40 & never remembered. I find this lacking. The room was not that clean, socks left in a corner from a previous guest.

Nice and quiet neighbuorhood, good breakfast

The room was not very soundproof - people in the corridor was easily heard, as was sounds from the neighbours bathroom

Fantastic hotel that exceeded our expectations in every respect. It is a set in a quiet leafy neighbourhood just a few minutes walk from the Circus Maxiumus so in easy reach of all the major sightseeing locations. The hotel has been tastefully created from three substantial villas; our room was well equipped with excellent air conditioning and lovely view across the courtyard. Staff were very friendly and efficient with nothing too much trouble. The breakfast (included in our rate) was varied and we had an excellent evening meal in the restaurant too. There is secure on-site parking at a very reasonable rate for a city centre. If we travel to Rome again, this will be top of our list.

Nothing

The location was great. We also enjoyed the breakfast, the customer service and the beautiful hotel grounds. The breakfast in particular was fabulous and we enjoyed waking up for it each day.

Our TV did not work, which was odd for a hotel that otherwise seems very stately. The beds were also extremely hard, to the point it was very hard to get a good night’s rest. If you require soft bedding, this might not be a good pick. The shower was also quite dated. The hot shower lasted just 5 minutes or so, and the buttons on the sides did not work. For us, we were mostly in the city, so it wasn’t a huge issue. But for those who want to spend a lot of “down time” in the hotel room, it might not be as great.
