Overall
8.2(2794)8/10 Wonderful experience, though could use some improvements
The hotel is very pretty, with a classy terrace at the front and posh rooms that mostly look just like in the pictures. The staff was very nice, funny and welcoming, and did the best they could to accommodate all our needs (we asked for Negronis to take to our room despite it not being on the menu and the man in the reception had no issue making it for us). You leave your keys in the reception upon leaving, which was fairly convenient. The bed was very big, the heating was great considering it's winter and public transport was accessible.

10/10 Everything was amazing
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We asked a lot of questions about how do we visit places in and around Rome and they helped us gladly. They even asked us if we had our breakfast before going to the Half-Marathon and they asked how was it after we came back! Which was really nice ☺️.
The room was clean and well decorated. We also got coffee on the terrasse.
The hotel is at 4 mins walk from the tram which is so practical to go to the center or take the Metro.

10/10 A hidden gem
A little gem and a lucky find!
The hotel is about 30 minutes walk from the Colosseum so isn't central but I highly recommend it.
We got a warm and friendly welcome and all the staff were friendly and patient as we struggled with pigeon Italian. We booked 2 single rooms. The rooms were small but well appointed with high ceilings and period style furnishings. The ensuite was compact but had everything needed. There are no frills but we stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute.

7/10 Pleasant.
Cute room even though the hotel is a bit dingy and run down. Comfortable room. It was ready for us when we arrived at noon or so. Very close to the tram and buses, so location is fine even though it’s much farther from Termini than it looks on a map. Friendly and helpful staff, they got us a taxi when we left, etc.

Great hotel close-ish to the big-ticket items (Colosseo). Staff at reception were really helpful holding our bags before check-in and after check-out. Good (sweet) breakfast worth the extra cost. Large room at a good price. Grazie!

7/10 In terms of location was great. But facilities and ambience can be very much improved.
Location was great. Colosseum was within a 25mim walking distance.

8/10 If you stay 1-2 nights, and mostly just sleep in the hotel room, it is a perfect place.
Breakfast (not only typical Italian sweet breakfast, also cheese, ham, salami, mortadella, eggs, etc.).

Honestly, it was way better than I expected for a 3-star place!
First off, the staff were absolute sweethearts! Seriously, everyone was so friendly and helpful. They were always up for a chat, gave me awesome tips on where to go and what to see, and nothing was too much trouble. And the breakfast! It was the perfect fuel for a day of exploring.
The best part? It was totally affordable! I couldn't believe how much I got for my money. If you're looking for a place in Rome that's comfy, clean, and run by the nicest people ever, you HAVE to check out Hotel Villa San Lorenzo Maria. You won't regret it!

6/10 Budget friendly
The hotel is located less than 30
minutes walk to the train station ( Roman termini )
The hotel is also located near bus stops to which you can hop on to get around .
In terms of neighbourhood although it looked rough , I don’t think I felt unsafe walking at night time ,
The hotel is located nearby plenty of bars , restaurants so you can always get food close by .
The room was clean and supplied plenty of towels
It has a mini fridge it wasn’t as cold , but did the job keeping water cold
Also the room provides a safe plenty of covers should you feel cold .
The breakfast served was alright wasn’t a crazy amount of variety ,I did have an issue whereby , I was informed that breakfast wasn’t included despite of my booking saying it was so I did only end up having breakfast when I checked out so instead of 2 nights , I only had breakfast one night oh well .

Small rooms, but functional, beds were comfortable for me.
Staff was very smiling and helpful.
Towels are renewed daily. Furniture was old plastic.
Location is a bit further from city center and when you come back the town which hotel is looks scary at nights.
You can go to Colosseo w/ one tram.

8/10 Nice, well-run hotel. Great breakfast. Comfortable rooms, good price for location.
The staff are friendly and accommodating. Cleaning service is thorough and quick. Some of the rooms are bigger than others, but overall are pretty typical of what you would expect from a hotel in Rome.
The breakfast is generous and tastes great. Staff take good care of you, and make sure you have all the hot caffeine you want. It's the same thing every day with no variations, so for a longer stay you may want to plan to visit a local cafe of patisserie for some variety (Ottavi dal 1921 is nearby and delightful). But for a good, filling and cheap start to the day, San Lorenzo Maria's breakfast can't be beat.
The transit access is very good. Rome Termini is close by, and there are Metro rail stations about a ten minute walk away. There is a bus-stop literally one minute around the corner that gives great options, including a direct line to the Colosseum and Circus Maximus. There's also good local dining in the area, and some life-changing gelato (Gelato San Lorenzo, get the strawberry, ricotta or the apple cinnamon crumble).
We were also lucky enough to get the third floor room with the terrace. It was like having another four hotel rooms adjoining ours. Pretty specific thing to recommend since no other room in the hotel had anything like it, but if you can get it or put a request in you should. It made our trip!

9/10 It was exactly what I wanted : A good spot to use as HQ while visiting Rome
Very good hotel that offers everything you need in Rome : Breakfast, easy access to the metro station (10 minute walk). The staff was very nice and always wanted to help whenever needed. There is always someone behind the desk, so checkout at 6:30 am was no problem. Also, at a five minute walk, there are lots of restaurants to have dinner!

6/10 Serviceable for a short stay, 2 nights in Rome.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not included but an add on and it was good value and quite good choice for a continental breakfast for 5 Euro per person.

It's the second time for me at this place and it exceeded my expectations. Everything was spot on, from the staff to the cleanliness and the great price. I strongly recommend you to stay here while in Rome, it's not far from Termini station and you can get here easily. They even storred my lugagge free of charge after check out as I had a late flight.

10/10 We had a brilliant stay. We will definitely stay here again.
All the staff were welcoming and efficient. The reception team were outstanding with their knowledge ,willingness to do research for us, communication skills and general bonhomie.
They could also conjure taxis in minutes.[ 15 euros to the Colosseum].
The "continental" buffet breakfast was excellent value for money and included eggs. A good range of gluten free was available on request. You could eat breakfast outside in their courtyard, or take your drink there from the bar.
Our room had its own splendid terrace.
A beautiful building, with a small but modern bathroom with instant hot water and plenty of water pressure.

5/10 Slightly overpriced stylish in the wrong neighborhood.

I booked this hotel because I need to attend a conference in Sapienza, and it is in the best location.
The single room is very comfortable and quiet, everything's working well, and they have a kind front desk staff who helps book me a taxi at 3:30 in the morning.
Although the metro system in Rome is a bit confusing, the hotel still has much better access to most of the sights by bus or metro, with a metro station nearby. Never trust Google Maps, and you will be fine.

10/10 Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff.
We stayed 9 nights for sight-seeing followed by a conference. We got to know the staff, all of whom were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We were very happy with our room and large bathroom, it was very comfortable and clean. The hotel itself is very attractive both inside and out. The breakfast was a great deal for only 5 euro. We loved sitting outside for breakfast or for an evening drink.

4/10 AC DOES NOT WORK. Avoid in summer.
Room was fine. Nothing special, but nothing to complain about. Except the AC. It is locked, temperature-wise.. My room is 27*C / 81*F. This is uncomfortably warm. I asked the night manager why the remote wouldn't change the temperature, and he couldn't have cared less. He lied, and said I'd need to change the temperature on the thermostat on the wall.
Fine. So I did. And nothing changed.
In the morning, I asked the morning manager if someone could change the temperature. He said no, because it's fixed, but that it should be colder and someone would come to look at it. The night manager had also promised a "technician" if I asked in the morning.
Now, take a guess. Did the technician arrive?
Nope. Nada. Zilch. And the manager (potpourri of managers) has decided that the temperature displayed on the actual air conditioner isn't actually the temperature in the room. Love a side of gaslighting with less-than-good customer service.
So my room is at an uncomfortable temperature, the night manager lied and told me I could adjust it with the thermostat, and the morning manager lied and said he'd send a technician to lower it. Wild.
Also, the air conditioner was moldy and my room felt damp.
Avoid like the plague in the summertime.

2/10 Complete Catfish!
I booked this place for one night in Rome with my partner for my 30th birthday trip because it looked amazing in the pictures.
I can only assume we were given the room that used to belong to staff of the hotel as it was absolutely not what I booked!
The room was completely different to the pictures, walls were visibly dirty, the room smelled heavily of damp and the toilet leaks.
I asked if there were any other rooms available but they were fully booked and that I could speak with the manager in the morning if I wanted.
I asked why the room looked nothing like the pictures attached to the booking and was told that they didn't have pictures of "that room"
Is this the room you use when you've overbooked yourselves??
I feel really let down by what I hoped would be a lovely, relaxing stay.
