Top Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore Hotel Reviews

Napoleon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean. No wash clothes provided though."

Ruby Giulia Hotel Rome

8/10 Good

"The place overall was great, staff was helpful and the area was perfect for our stay. Only thing I would warn people about is the Shower or tub complexity. The shower is actually a solid raised tub that you have to climb into very carefully and try not to slip on the way out. It was very difficult for my wife to climb in and out of."

The Major

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at The Major Rome! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout my stay. One thing I especially appreciated was the excellent air conditioning—after being out exploring Rome in the heat, coming back to a cool, comfortable room was everything! The location was also fantastic and very walkable. I was able to easily get to many of the places I wanted to see, while still having plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby. It was a great home base for exploring Rome. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at The Major and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, conveniently located hotel with friendly and helpful service. 🇮🇹✨"

"Very convenient location and pleasant place. Staff was very kind and welcoming. Only concern was our toilet, which wouldn't flush, however after advising the staff,they fixed it immediately. Otherwise clean and comfortable."

The Hive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located in Rome next to the Basicilica Santa Maria Maggiore. Very spacious room. Comfortable bed. Maintenance could be a tad better. Outlet next to the night stand didn’t work and the light flickered, and the conditioner was just shampoo. Staff were nice and responsive. They booked us a taxi for 70 euros to FCO. The hotel lobby is gorgeous and air conditioned. Overall definitely recommend. Great value, room, and location."
