Hotel San Pancrazio

Be warned that this 'hotel' is in reality a nightclub with all the inherent problems nightclubs have both legal and non-legal Thur - Sat every week (and a very very very loud one at that from 8 till 2/3 in the morning, walking back from the restaurants in Trastevere you could hear it a long long way off. The club is on the roof terrace, directly above the rooms so the room shakes with people dancing and jumping, doors constantly banging in some rooms seemingly rented just for one night, I'm assuming for a particular club night, make of that what you will. Wed was ok, then Thur around 6.30 they started testing the PA - venues in England for weddings even bands (believe me I know) would have tripped the DB meter and been shut down before they even turned it up. The 'club' was a complete surprise to us. I went to see the (very rude) manager who told me when you checked in, the signed check in form stated the events happening this week... I explained it wasn't, show me please, he then embarrisingly scabbled round for 5-10 minutes searching for a piece of paper only to find nothing written on the actual form, he then shifted saying you were told this morning at breakfast to which we were not, whereby he phoned the lady who managed breakfast only for her to advise they forgot to tell us. The 'manager' had to concede we were not advised at check in or breakfast, I offered to pay for the Wed night we'd already stayed, check out and find another hotel (this was around 7.30pm and no idea where but desparate as it was that bad). His response was you've paid already in advance so you can't, so we felt trapped. Thursday night was awful, really loud bad music, shouting DJ of the old fashioned kind, shaking room from people dancing, banging doors constantly to one of the bedrooms! On Friday when we were all at breakfast, another couple made the same complaint, it transpires this happens all the time with the poor ladies at breakfast (who were lovely taking the brunt of complaints). The owner/manager is not looking for repeat custom, just running a venue and perporting to be a quaint hotel for unlucky victims The pictures on here do not reflect how the rooms actually look (completely different decoration and tiny), not very clean (see pic) and the bathroom smelt of the sewer and you would not dare walk on the floor without shoes. If you want to party, sure this could be for you but it is full on partying venue if you get my drift with all that entails... you'll hear people still knocking around at 4-5 in the morning. Do... Look at staying in Trastrevere as it's cool but not here Don't... Stay herwhatever you do you will regret it If... you do mistake booking this (just don't i promise), don't leave your keys at Reception, no one manages it, people come and go to the club all the time and could just help themselves to your room key on the way up to the club if they wanted to rob you. Don't... Take it out on the ladies at breakfast, the 'manager' th

My family and I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights in Winter, and overall, the stay felt super cozy and homey. Located on a quiet, peaceful street only minutes away from the busier streets of Trastevere, the rooms were a good size, there was a bathtub in the bathroom and the place is charming and cosy. Gabriel was incredibly helpful every step of the way, from giving us tips to arranging a wonderful breakfast (fresh juice, pancakes, omelette etc.). Things to bear in mind: leading up to the hotel there is a steeper incline (if you have any mobility issues) and there is no reception available at night (which I didn't mind at all, I had all the service I needed at the hotel) Thank you Parrasio! We really felt like home there, can't wait to come back :)

This was an excellent hotel. A short walk to the heart of Trastevere. The staff is very helpful and polite. The restaurant is a great place to unwind at the end of the day and the food was great. I will definitely stay here if I ever make it back to Rome.
