Hotel Anahi

I recently had the great pleasure to spend a week in Rome at the Boutique Hotel Anahi a place I had been to several times over the past few years. I returned yet again as it is just simply A Wonderful Place to stay. First of all the staff is so helpful and courteous and knowledgeable that no question goes unanswered and the response is always with a smile - and a map when required. Debora, Nausicaa, Valero and Eduardo THANK YOU for your unending patience and assistance. The room itself is spotlessly clean and the bed has a mattress that is VERY comfortable. The bathroom has plenty of hot water and is spacious. The breakfast is across the street at their sister hotel and this just has to be the best deal in Rome at 15 euro - a great way to start your day with coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice and scrambled eggs with many other accompaniments. Do NOT skip this breakfast!!! While centrally located the hotel is just far enough off the main streets to provide for a quiet sleep. I walked almost everywhere and when I did not I was only a 5 minute stroll to the Metro. I very much hope to return again soon, very soon. Ciao!

This is a fantastic place situated in middle of the Piazza del Popopol but so quiet. All the people who work here are supper supper supper nice and will to make it a wonderful stay for you. Which is not what you can say about every hotel in Rome. It is not easy to find a hotel where the staff is as nice them at Anahi. The rooms are quiet spaces' and it is within a short walking distance to all major attractions. The pantheon is 15 minute lovely walk. Note the street your walk is full of the best shops for clothes, etc. Loved walking everyday to the Piazza Navona area for dinner. This was my second time staying here. They have an arrangement for breakfast with the hotel in front, which costs 16 Euro, but ths time I opted to eat elsewhere since I found a butte. A special shout out to Christina and the other young lady who work there. They are fantastic!

Everything was perfect! We were upgraded from a room to the apartment and it was amazing!! It was spacious and clean. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and the location Was fantastic! Walkable to every major attraction and close to wonderful restaurants. I can't say enough good thing about this hotel! It is wonderful!!

The location is perfect – a masterpiece of balance between centrality and calm. The service was excellent, and the receptionist was a truly wonderful woman. The room was fully furnished and beautifully decorated in elegant red tones. A charming and peaceful stay in Rome!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were really friendly and helpful, advising on how to get to different places in Rome and recommending where to go for breakfast. They even sent over copies of our passports when we needed them for our tour of the colosseum. Our room was great as well. We will definitely be back!.

We travelled as a family, but chose to have 3 separate rooms. Loved this hotel - staff very friendly and helpful and the location is ideal. No restaurant in the hotel, but coffee (from pods) available in the foyer. Great breakfast in the hotel opposite - it's a small, quiet street, so very convenient. I did try breakfast elsewhere one morning, but it just wasn't as good, nor as good value.

The hotel was very nice, had many amenities including a nice courtyard, coffee/tea service in the room and a wonderful staff. We had two rooms and both rooms and the bathrooms were spacious and very comfortable. The hotel was conveniently located near shops and restaurants. We were able to walk to most of the sites that we wanted to visit. We hope to visit the hotel again next year.

Great location, a jewel in the middle of Rome: rooms are small but clean and cozy. The team of the hotel is young and very helpful. 1 minute walk from Piazza del Popolo, with many restaurants options a ta walking distance, yet quiet at night. We will definitely come again.

The receptionist speak well English and very trustworthy. They arrange every aspect of our stay and make sure everything went well, too bad I didn't get their names.

I stayed at Anahi for four nights, and I might have been willing to give it three stars if I hadn't woken up this morning with a silverfish-like insect on my pillow and another one on my arm. That was enough for me to say I wouldn't stay there again. It wasn't all bad. The room is a good size for the price. It was very basic but definitely didn't feel cramped for one person. The bathroom was surprisingly enormous, and the heating worked well. The location was fantastic. It was on a little side street near Piazza Popolo, close to all the tourist attractions, and about a 5-minute walk from the metro, but in an area without any street noise. Unfortunately, there was a lot to dislike about this hotel. It was overall very run down and looked like it hadn't been renovated in decades. There aren't really any common areas, but the hotel is so old and musty feeling/smelling, that you wouldn't want to spend any time there other than to sleep. Though you won't have to deal with street noise, you will have to deal with noise from your neighbors. Mine weren't too loud, but I could hear every single word they said, so this is definitely a bad place if you need privacy. The mattress and pillows were sufficiently comfortable, though the sheets and pillowcases were really rough. The bathroom was decent, aside from the bugs. It was a good size, and the hot water and shower pressure were good. It took me three showers before I figured out how exactly to position the shower curtain to prevent water from going EVERYWHERE. The wifi situation was unacceptable. It logs out every time your device's screen times out, forcing you to sign back in with a username and password, and preventing updates/notifications if you're not actively using your phone. My room's location couldn't get reception for my phone or data either, so that wasn't an option. Adding insult to injury, the wifi was completely down for an entire day of my stay. Overall, Anahi wasn't horrible, and I'm not sure you can do much better for the price in Rome. Next time, however, I will be willing to spend more to stay somewhere better.
