"Why book? Horti 14 is a boutique hotel in the middle of trendy Trastevere, and delivers on everything you want from a city stay: smart design, elegant rooms, and a tranquil garden for relaxing. Set the scene. A design-forward hotel with good-looking public spaces, including colorful furnishings and industrial lights hanging from the ceiling. Young professionals tend to check in here for a stylish place to stay at a reasonable price. The backstory The hotel is set up around the garden, designed to bring a sense of calm after a day exploring what can sometimes be a frenetic city. The rooms Rooms are either superior or (the slightly bigger) deluxe, and are decked out in clean white lines, colorful cushions, and smooth marble tables. All of the rooms have desks, sofas for relaxing, and well-stocked minibars. Food and drink Breakfast (croissants, coffees, yogurt, fruit) is served at the Terrazza restaurant, overlooking the garden. There’s also a popular cocktail bar, La Legnameria, offering aperitivo (cocktails and snacks) nightly. The neighborhood/area Trastevere’s one of Rome’s better known districts, and while it’s decidedly more tourist-filled than it once was, it still clings to its working-class roots with lively food markets and loud neighborhood trattorias. The service Experienced and eager to help you navigate Rome, as long as you ask." - Maresa Manara
