About

Please note that check-in takes place at the following address: Via Paolina, 20, at my cafe.


Established in 1990, Rose Santa Maria has come to be one of the most popular accommodations in Rome and a well-known place to stay for young travelers. Since its opening it has been recommended in all the main guide books.

The structure is located in Rione Monti, a lively neighborhood close to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Just down the hill you will find the charming cobble-stone streets, Monti proper, complete with fountain for nighttime gatherings. A trendy area, it boasts artisan and vintage shops, a plethora of dining options and cafes, and bustling crowds comprised of residents, artists, tourists, and other colorful folk.

Rose Santa Maria is a calm, clean, budget-friendly place to crash in the heart of Rome. It is located on the fourth floor of a 19th-century close to Via Cavour, one of Rome’s main roads. Despite being a small property, with no common room and no kitchen, our guests appreciate the cozy, homey atmosphere.

Several transport options, such as metro, buses, trams, taxi stands, and tour buses, are at your fingertips. Rose Santa Maria is easily accessible from Termini central train station, just a few minutes' walk from the structure. Termini hosts bus and train transport to and from Rome's airports.

Thank you and enjoy Rome.

*DO NOT STAY HERE* Genuinely baffled by the 8.2 stars this place has. Wish I could upload pictures so you all can see how gross it was. Mold was growing in the shower and the bathroom was covered in a brown grime showing nothing had been cleaned in QUITE a while. The beds were uncomfortable, pillow was a rock, sheets and towels were like sandpaper, etc. Listing makes it sound like there's a team working here but I think it's just one old guy managing a BUNCH of properties so they get neglected.

I really enjoyed my time here! It was provate, the host was very nice/responsive, and I love the proximity to the train station and the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major
