Avoid at all costs – worst hotel experience

We had a truly terrible stay at The Baboon Room and strongly advise others to look elsewhere. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the room hadn’t been maintained for years. The window didn’t close, so the noise from traffic was unbearable — we didn’t get any sleep. The room was visibly dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned. Furniture was broken, walls were scuffed and stained, and the overall condition of the space was poor and neglected. The shampoo was nearly empty, and we struggled to get hot water in the shower. When we raised these issues, we were met with nothing but arrogance and denial. The hotel staff refused to acknowledge any of our concerns and no refund or meaningful solution was offered. Communication with the hotel manager was painfully slow and rude. After having encountered this nightmare, we had no choice but to book a room at another hotel. After we informed them of this did the manager offer to switch us to a different room. We felt ignored, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. Save yourself the trouble — there are far better places to stay.

Room in Rome.

Great sized room, lovely modern decor with a separated area for kids to sleep. The shower was huge and the water pressure/temperature was great. Coffee machine and pods provided in the room. only slight issues were main room could do with a black out curtain as the light shines into the room and the current curtain doesn’t work. The room is right next to the entrance to the building and the noise from people entering the building is quite loud in the room. Cute little social area where there is a fridge to put water and snacks etc… owner who met us was so nice, great service and she circled all the places to visit on a map for us. Was really close to the fountain, Spanish steps and loads of other must see sights.

Great location, excellent service. Noisy located by a church so expect bells and street noise. Also an hour before checkout you get banging on your door. Lift works intermittently. Other than that the place is very good.

The room was lovely and spacious for a family of 3. The area was nice, very close to the Spanish steps and metro. Vittoria who greeted us was very lovely and helped us with directions and places to eat. We chose not to use the lift as felt it could be in a better condition, the stairs were alot after a day of sight seeing. Overall we would go back due to location, room and friendly staff.

Baboon Rooms is a great place to stay which is located right in the heart of town with the Spanish steps just metres away. My family and I walked to all the major landmarks from our hotel room. The rooms were clean and very stylish. Victory showed us some great places to eat and where we must visit.

Could not have been in a better location! WiFi was almost nonexistent was our ONLY complaint. The guest before us was extremely inconsiderate and left their luggage behind past their checkout time. The staff had to scramble to get the room ready for us around 5:00 because they did the right thing and didn’t mess with the luggage.
