Was a cute cheap and clean place. Better than actually hotels I’ve stayed in Europe. Great communication with the property. I also received few free drinks on first day. Really nice place. Felt like I was living a dream
A ramp to the elevator rather than stairs would be more helpful for less abled individuals.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Terribly small dated ‘suite’
Awfully small room. The entry door immediately opens to a glass shower that is directly across from the bed, super weird. Room is super tiny. Could feel every spring in the very old mattress. Reception is very useless- we did not want our room clean but requested fresh towels that we never received. They don’t have an iron for your clothes so if you’re travelling with your stuff in a suitcase prepare for a wrinkly fit. Getting in is also extremely difficult. There is 4 doors you need to go through before reaching your suite door, all with different keys. The elevator is very dated and many times got stuck on randomly floors. It also begins beeping if you do not manually close the doors within *6* seconds. You can very wonderfully hear this noise from your room
Lovely clean room and a very comfortable bed.
Shower was powerful and the bathroom clean.
There is little to no parking in the area so dont take a car.
The suites are central to most of the sights, 15 minute walk to the Vatican and about 30 minutes to the Coliseum
Handy elevator in the building as the rooms are on the 3rd floor.
Highly recommend booking breakfast as the croissants are the best.
A much better option to a more distant hotel that forces you to rely on metro or taxis. It’s great to be within walking distance of everything you came to Rome to see (you’ll feel more comfortable staying out walking in the evenings). Plus, with its smaller size, Ara is pleasantly quiet and the staff’s attention isn’t divided amongst so many.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It s ok but will not recommend specially for first time visitor in Rome. Receptionist or staff are only available 9am-1pm in person otherwise you need to communicate thru WhatsApp. Unfortunately we booked for 5 nights and not able to get some help that I was expected (no concierge ) regarding the area. Room windows not sealed or closed tight that you can hear street noise in the middle of the night.
You need to use 4 keys at night to get in to the building to your room.
On a better side we were able to speak to a staff on the 3rd day and also got help thru WhatsApp for what we need.
The place was clean
The location was excellent for our purpose of seeing the sites of Rome. Within walking distance to a great cafe for early coffee and pastry. Close to taxi stand, close to beginning of discovery of Rome sites.
The room itself was not quite as advertised. Bed was fine, but the shower was right next to the bed, with the frosted side of windows directed to the bathroom area, not the bed side. Just awkward.
The hotel attendant was helpful with information about restaurants etc. The transfer service to and from hotel was a must. Helped to be delivered and picked up at hotel.
Location was a plus, lift to third floor helpful.

The room was small, but recently updated. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the shower being in the bedroom instead of the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again.
We were only at the hotel for one night but the staff leading up to our staff was very helpful. Since we checked in late there were lots of instructions on how to get in and were very helpful with questions I had about getting around. Hotel was very nice and quiet!
We really enjoyed the natural light in this room. We didn’t use the jacuzzi but it seemed like a nice addition. The location in this neighborhood is great. There are many good restaurants close and it’s close to many of the attractions that we wanted to see. We walked everywhere.
New finish and closed to Vatican
Walk distance to most tourist destinations
Top recommended …friendly staff
Good for couple … bath and shower in the bedroom
Fantastic Stay at Ara Suites.
Pros:
1. Lovely spacious room, fantastic jacuzzi, good powerful shower, and clean room.
2. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Enricobwas fantastic and gave us very useful info about Rome.
3. Great location - 2 minute walk to a bus stop going to all main tourist places and 12 minute walk to Spagna metro.
Cons:
No cons! Would just say that it the shower area had some shelves to put the shampoos and soap that would be an excellent addition and similarly shelves in toilets for the towels. An additional dustbin in the room and some facial tissues would also make this into the perfect hotel.
Thank you for the great stay.
Excellent property that is excellently located for easy access to all tourist attractions. Only a 5 min walk after SIT bus transport from airport, for 7 euro per person.
The room was amazing and the staff was awesome. They answered our questions and provided detailed answers. The apartment was located within walking distance of landmarks which was very convenient.
Small, quiet spot away from the city center, but close enough to walk. Not a traditional hotel, but more like a small apartment complex with lovely, clean rooms. Staff is only on premise in the morning time, but easily reached by phone if there are any questions or issues.
