Residenza di Ripetta

Stayed 3 nights. Nothing special about the rooms and the cooked buffet breakfast was atrocious. Cooked meats and eggs were left to go cold and greasy in unheated Bain Marie. (No power outlets in the dinning room???) Waiting staff more concerned with their own company. Coffee and front desk service was excellent.

Residence di Ripetta is greatly located hotel with a decent garden for a coffee, nice reception and nice, big room, at least our 105, was. it would not be a luxury of a lifetime, but higher level in that direction would cost almost twice. On the other hand, it is clean , well maintained, friendly and helpful front desk in the middle of everything you gonna need. A lot of breakfast options around hotel.

The lobby looks great, the front desk staff are very good and the hotel is in a good location, but that is where the hotel standards unfortunately stop. A dirty room with scuff marks from luggage and shoes on walls, worn carpets, an internet that constantly drops out, an air conditioner that barely works and struggles to keep the room temperature below 27 degrees Celsius, and lukewarm showers with intermittent hot water. Not worth the 4 stars and the high fees.

Residenza di Ripetta was an awesome find from Tripadvisor. The location can't get any better, in the heart of Rome yet a lane away from the noise and chaos. A 5-10 mins walk to Spanish steps, Via Del Corso, the metro, bus stops and a stones throw away from shopping and the eateries. We stayed in a 2 bedroom family suite and it was very comfortable and I loved the old town, english look and feel. Not a cookie cutter hotel, you have to enjoy the experience of this place. The staff was extremely warm, professional and helpful. Do not miss the exotic and elaborate buffet breakfast

Where do I start. We paid for 5 nights and a suite overlooking the courtyard. Our first "suite" had a dirty wall that hadn't been painted in years and it overlooked the back garbage dump. The next room overlooked an alley/street--not the courtyard. Worse yet the air conditioning was broken in the bedroom. In late June it was unbearable. Second night they put us in a suite still not facing the courtyard. Two stories --but upstairs where the bedroom is located is unbelievably hot and sleeping is very difficult. My sisters have rooms nearby on the same floor. Same problems. And one of my sister's had a room with a window which was totally blocked with green film so in essence she had no window. The carpet and furniture needs to be thrown out or burned. The entire hotel is a real disappointment. The only positive is the location, but quite frankly, the negatives outweigh the positives because it's a 2-3 star hotel at best masquerading as a 4 star hotel. I would NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN--we are dreading 3 more night of this. Even though we paid we are considering leaving and objecting on our credit card. That bad. And I have never written a negative review before this. I just had to in order to share how bad it has been for us.
