Our stay at Palazzo Baj in Trastevere was truly unforgettable. Nestled in the perfect spot between Rome’s cozy, authentic charm and its vibrant energy, the location offered easy access to all the city’s iconic highlights—including the Colosseum. What made our experience even more special was our host Laura, whose warmth and incredible hospitality made us feel instantly at home. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Palazzo Baj was the ideal place to celebrate our honeymoon—romantic, comfortable, and filled with the magic of Rome.

Nothing

Overall a great experience staying at this little gem in Trastevere, which is a bustling local community offering a rich selection of restaurants and markets. The room is well equipped, cozy and clean. I particularly enjoyed the lounge area where the host Laura has arranged cakes, fruits, and coffee to be enjoyed by guests for free. Bus and tram stops are nearby, and the isola on Tiber is a must-visit in its own right.

Nothing. But would suggest complimentary water bottles be provided daily.

This little hotel is small and cosy and located in a great area. We could walk all over across the river and to restaurants nearby. It was busy with locals and tourists in the neighborhood. Laura the owner was amazing. She helped us book a taxi for an early trip to the train and also a nice meal nearby for dinner. Our room was smallish But perfectly fine for one night.

The price was higher than we should have spent for a small room but Rome is pricier than I think. The location is ideal.

Nice clean and tidy apartment in a good location with easy access to many restaurants and bars and close to sightseeing attractions of Ancient Rome. Also not too far away from the Vatican. Communal area for guests to sit and snacks, drinks and fruit available for guests.

Busy street outside and curtains didn’t block out the headlights of passing traffic. Heavier curtains or blinds would reduce the glare from passing traffic headlights at night

I loved my stay at Casa Baj. Laura is an amazing host and it was such a pleasure to meet her precious little boy who came with her to work that day. The bed was one of the best I slept in in Italy. Laura has thoughtful touches like fresh jam cake in the kitchen and the best part, an idiot-proof espresso maker. Her lounge room is comfortable and serene. When it was too hot outside in the heatwave I was happy to relax in the spotless, air conditioned apartment till dusk till the temperature outside went down. I'll be back.

The check in was a little frustrating. I confirmed my arrival time and when I got there no one was there to let me in. I had to be let in by two other guests on their way out. They gave me Laura's number and I got a hold of her. It worked out in the end but still could be frustrating if your'e tired from traveling.

Nice, chic, simple but everything you need.

Nothing. Everything was great!

Everything! This was our second visit, and we will visit again! The location, the lovely accommodations, the beautifully baked goods with caffe’ and water always available, to the amazing sites and restaurants within very close proximity! Laura and staff are kind, generous and friendly! 🧡🧡

We loved the different cake offerings each morning. We appreciated the local restaurant recommeded listing. Location of the nearest taxi stand was a short 2 minute walk. The fact that bus number 23 from Vatican City stopped right outside our accommodation, extremely handy when traveling back from the Vatican Museums. Also easy walk to the Colloseum from this location.

Nothing. Everything was fine

Very close to main sights and local bars. It's really comfortable and quiet. Lots of local buses and trams if needed. You can walk to places like the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. There are plenty of herbal teas and espresso coffees in the guest house and cake. We had the whole place for our family, and it was lovely to have a sitting area for us all. Laura was very welcoming, quick to answer queries, and she was really helpful in recommending transport and restaurants

There wasn't anything we didn't like. Some of us would like more fresh fruit for the breakfast bar

The rooms and facilities were great. Loved the little cakes and drinks in the foyer, such a nice touch. Laura was helpful and really lovely when booking us in. Loved the area where it was located, easy to walk to all the main sites and Trastevere was a charming place to stay and see hotels lots of lovely meals there.

The hotel would have been perfect except for the road noise. It is based on a very busy main road, and although they’ve tried their best to sound proof the rooms I found it really loud all night long and our first night it kept me awake most of the night. I went out and bought earplugs and the second night slept much better. Also Laura booked transfers for us and was quoted 50 euro each way but was charged 60 euros each way. She was very good to knock 10euro off the tourist tax, but something no to be aware of as it is a third party company.
