It's a nice place and the staff was very kind. It was on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood, far enough away from the grind of the city and touristy locales - yet close enough that a solid 25-minute walk gets you to great spots to eat, drink, and see historic spots. I would stay here again - and I'm fairly picky.

Absolutely loved our stay! The hotel was spotless, beautifully designed, and had amazing amenities. We especially loved the Turkish towels and all the thoughtful little touches throughout. The location was perfect, tucked away on a quiet street but still very convenient. We did stay on a Sunday night, so I can’t speak to how quiet it is during the rest of the week, but our stay was incredibly peaceful. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed 3 nights. Our flight got changed and the team were super helpful when we requested a date change, and his meant a room chance which was totally fine as the accommodation was very appreciated. Our second room was a bit loud, we could hear people coming and going and the plumbing in the walls, not a deal breaker but I bit disappointing. I’d definitely stay here again I’d just make a request to not be in room 101. The general area was super convenient and very quiet, bed was comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Thanks again to the team for being so helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sanctuary Urban Retreat. We spent 5 night and were very grateful for the comfortable bed and quiet neighbourhood. The hotel is tucked away in a beautiful part of Rome which is away from all the touristy hustle and bustle. We walked to most places or took the subway. There are great restaurants within walking distance just down the hill or a 15 min walk to the Trastevere neighbourhood. They have beautiful, clean and modern accommodations, the staff are wonderful and it's not too far from most of the major attractions. I highly recommend staying here on your next trip to Rome.

We LOVED this hotel. It is redone and modern and very calm and Zen like and built right next to a large Catholic church that provides a beautiful backdrop wall to their establishment. The bed was super comfortable. I believe they rent the space next to the church for their garden area where you have breakfast and then as a bar starting at 5pm. They upgraded us to a larger room that opens onto a floor level balcony that is private from the garden area. The staff are the BEST ever. I would stay there again if in Rome. There are many great restaurants close at hand.

Overall good , as a Swede i would appreciate coffe available in the room. Nespresso machine or even freeze dried coffee. For the price paid i think its not to much asked. (And yes i know i could order from the bar for a fee) Besides that. Nice little hotel with lots of cozy small bara and restaurants just a few hundred meters down the street. 10-15 m straight walk to coloseum
