Anthony 47

When we come to Rome, we always stay at Anthony 47. We have stayed there 5 or 6 times now, and every time we do, we have the same great experience! It is in a great, quiet location, a few minutes walk from Termini in a safe neighborhood. It is close by a big grocery store, lots of bars and restaurants. The rooms are nice and the whole place is very clean. Beds are very comfy and pillows are great. There is a shared kitchen for all guests to use, and a large fridge with a shelf dedicated just to your room. The kitchen is stocked with all of the accessories you would need to prepare your own food, and they also offer things like sugar, salt etc. There is a coffee machine with pods offered and you can use a moka pot to make your own. The standard rooms are a good size for a night or two, but I would recommend the junior suite if you want to spread out a bit more (the bathroom and bedroom are separated by a small hallway/closet area. There is also a separate hall bathroom for all guests to use in case your room bathroom is occupied by your family:) This stay was the first time we used the self check in and it was super easy and efficient. The staff here is very attentive and responds to messages on Booking very quickly. I would highly recommend a stay here!

If there are a bunch of other people staying, it can sometimes get a bit noisy. The hallway is very echoey, and the walls are not sound proof. This has never really been a big deal for us.....Also, although it is definitely workable and clean, the bathroom vanity in the junior suite is definitely showing some wear and tear-it could use an update to maintain the same standard as the rest of the hotel. Again, this is not really a big deal, but we have noticed this decline, having stayed a few times over the past few years.

Spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. I’d stay there again.

2 minutes walk to nearest Metro Station. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Friendly staff, clean and safe.

Nothing

What I liked: Central location with excellent access to bus routes, the metro, and Rome’s main train station. The room was spacious, with a very large bed. Both the room and bathroom were clean, as expected, and there was convenient access to shared kitchen facilities in the common area. Staff were responsive on WhatsApp and it was quite affordable for such a central stay.

What I didn’t like: The air conditioning was not working when we arrived. Initially, I was told to wait, but when we returned in the evening it still wasn’t working. Staff were responsive on WhatsApp and one person came out and tried to diagnose the issue for about 40 minutes, but couldn’t fix it, saying a technician would need to come the following day. When I asked if we could move rooms for the night, I was told there were no available or ready rooms, and that we could only move if it wasn’t fixed the next day. No fan or alternative was offered, so it was quite miserable to sleep in a very warm room in Rome. No compensation was offered. When the AC did work, it was mild even on the maximum setting, but at least it allowed us to get some sleep. The walls do not block noise from outside or other rooms. Heavy doors slam when people come and go, conversations carry easily, and traffic noise is audible (though the area isn’t very busy). Staff start cleaning around 8–9am, and the noise from vacuuming and other work disturbed my partner’s sleep as the room is on the ground floor with a window facing the street. Personally, as a heavy sleeper, I wasn’t too bothered by the noise, but for light sleepers like my partner, it was an issue—bring earplugs. The shower head also needs maintenance—some outlets are clogged, which affects the experience of what should be a pleasant rainfall shower. More attention to detail here would improve the stay.
