  : Little peaceful hidden gem in the middle of the Trastevere excitement and traffic. Close to great restaurants and stores. Staff was very pleasant and extremely helpful.
  : Having to go up and down steps to get into bathroom and shower. Bathroom very small with no room for toiletry bags etc. but we made it work.

  : Buonanotte Garibaldi is a little hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Trastevere. Very elegantly furnished guesthouse with a restful ambiance. Our room was a good size however, wardrobe space was slightly limited and the amount of furniture in the room made it feel cramped. The bathroom was very small but had an excellent rain shower. But perhaps its finest asset and USP was the adjoining private terrace. This was amazing and left us speechless that it was only accessed by our room. The beds were incredibly comfortable as were the pillows. There was a minibar in the room and to be honest, we emptied this and placed our own purchases from the mini-mart 25 metres away. There was tea and coffee and a kettle provided in the room but sadly no complimentary water! Trastevere is a wonderful part of Rome renowned for its array of excellent restaurants, bars and cafes where you can escape the otherwise frenzy of the historic centre of Rome and tourists. However, its literally across the bridge from the city and a stones throw walk from everywhere you may wish to visit. The river edge has now become alive with bars and restaurants and offers great walks. So really, we couldn't have chosen a more perfect location with Buonanotte Garibaldi. A word of warning though, this area and (with great sadness) many parts of Rome itself have suffered at the hand of the graffiti artists which is often difficult to overlook and hard to swallow. But don't let that take away the fact that Trastevere is a superb place to stay and offers so much, which is why its rapidly becoming more and more popular.
  : The Guesthouse purports to be 4 star, which in any language, demands a touch of class and attention to detail. Sadly we were left unimpressed in a number of areas. The breakfast was bewilderingly limited - slices of cheese, meat and some bread or croissants that didn't feel fresh, some chopped up fruit and yoghurt pots. 4 star it was not! Our host, who was lovely and tried his best, was left to cook (not a trained chef), serve, clean, and act as reception clerk and so long as you wanted scrambled eggs, you were fine. Anything other than this was not on the menu. Another detail sadly lacking was the absence of complimentary water in the room. We used a couple of small bottles from the minibar upon arrival to have a cup of tea. We were charged for these. The hotel was eye-wateringly expensive for our 4 night stay, so the charge for water was a sad reflection at the end of an otherwise pleasant stay. The bathroom was very cramped and the bedroom was quite dark and cluttered with furniture. We did return to the room on a couple of occasions from long days walking around in the sweltering heat of Rome, only to find the air conditioning unit turned off. The old AC unit took a long time to cool the room down. Other small details included, having to ask for fresh towels after 2 days, and to top up the tea and coffee provisions in the room. What the hotel makes up for in terms of the terrace adjoining the room, the very stylishly laid out character of the guesthouse overall and its fantastic location, was let down by the above approach to service and detail. It IS a hidden gem in this gorgeous part of Rome, but for the high price it commands, unfortunately it does not justify its 4 stars.
