About
Il Romitello
Il Romitello is a guest house in Rome's Trionfale district, set in a residential area that guests describe as quiet and calm. The property includes a garden, sun terrace and picnic area, and there is a private parking garage on site. Guests also mention a private chapel and park on the grounds, and the Olimpico Theater is around 10 minutes away by car.
With an 8.1 average from 916 reviews, the hotel's strongest scores are for staff (8.8), facilities (8.7) and rooms (8.3). Reviews consistently praise daily housekeeping, a varied breakfast and the reception team. The trade-off is the location: Il Romitello sits outside central Rome, and many guests reach the sights by bus and metro rather than on foot.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Staff genuinely stand out — Reviewers repeatedly single out the team as friendly, helpful and quick to respond, from metro tickets at reception to accommodating late check-in, check-out and a queen bed.
- A quiet, green setting — Guests describe a calm neighbourhood and a well-kept garden that makes the hotel feel removed from the bustle of central Rome. There's a sun terrace, picnic area and a private chapel and park on the property.
- Clean and comfortable rooms — Daily cleaning, fresh towels, air conditioning and comfortable beds come up again and again in guest reviews, with bathrooms described as spotless.
- Breakfast is a consistent highlight — The buffet wins praise for variety, fresh fruit and good cappuccinos, and several guests simply call it excellent.
- Private parking available — A private parking garage sits on site, which is a useful bonus when some guests say a car makes exploring the city easier.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Plan for a commute into Rome — The hotel is outside central Rome in a residential area. A bus stop a few minutes away links to the metro, but one guest allowed around an hour each way into the centre, and another notes a car would make things easier.
- Rooms are simple — Comfort is the lowest-scoring category at 7.2, and one guest describes the rooms as basic but comfortable.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Unless you've arranged otherwise, plan to arrive between 14:00 and 23:00. A guest review shows the hotel can be flexible for very late arrivals when asked.
- Not pet-friendly — The hotel's policy is clear: pets are not allowed, so it won't suit travellers with a pet.

8.1Verified guest“Spotless throughout, and the facilities were clearly well looked after. We didn't have a car, but the hotel was close to the bus network and it was easy enough to get into the centre. There were plenty of good restaurants nearby. Breakfast was tasty, with proper cappuccinos. Above all, the staff were friendly and accommodating.”
