Loly Boutique Hotel

This hotel is really nice. It was clean, modern, spacious, and the balconies were really great. The breakfast was good too. I'm less convinced about Trastavere though as a place to stay while touring Rome. We stayed here at the end of a two week trip, and stayed by the Pantheon at the start of the two weeks. The Pantheon area is much better for walking to the main tourist sites. From this hotel we went out to Tivoli, to Ostia Antica, and took a food tour of Trastavere, and the location was great for those places, but my caution is that we spent a lot more time in taxis from here, and I think we heard more people speaking German than we did Italian in this neighborhood.

My wife and I spent 4 nights here in mid October, the Trastevere area having been recommended to us by someone we have learned to trust. We love to stay in boutique hotels, the Loly lives up to its billing. ||I booked a superior double room and were allocated room 204. It was a lovely room at the Bach of the hotel with a private balcony. We really enjoyed the peace the room provided after a busy day of sightseeing in the city. Nicely decorated, clean and comfortable, the only shortcoming is something we’ve seen in so many hotel rooms; not enough power sockets in convenient places. A very common problem and absolutely not something that would stop us going back. ||The public areas are gorgeous, stylish without being intimidating, offering a really relaxing atmosphere. ||The location, in Trastevere, was great, plenty of pleasant restaurants and bars nearby. It’s about an hour on foot to Roma Terminus station, 40 minutes to the Colosseum an maybe 30 minutes to the Vatican. Roma is a great city to see on foot. ||The staff were fabulous, arranging transport, storing luggage, nothing was a bother. Breakfast was good, we stayed with cereal, cold meats and cheeses, pastries. The coffee was fresh and the staff super welcoming. The cooked breakfast didn’t tempt us, but I’d suggest that is something more the strength of the big chain hotels rather than a chic boutique. ||We had drinks in the hotel bar a few times, love how Italians free-pour everything! We ate dinner on one evening and were really impressed at the quality of the food. We had the undivided attention of Claudio, who was running the bar and waiting tables and has great taste in music. A lovely evening. ||Neither the cheapest nor the most expensive place to stay, the Loly nails it as a contemporary boutique hotel. We rarely return to a hotel, but this is very likely to get a return visit.

Everything in this hotel wasn't quite right. Our room was on what was called a first floor which really should be called a dungeon floor. It was so dark that you could barely figure out whether it was day or night, forget about the weather. Smell of the mold in the room way very strong but room itself was quite nice. Service was sloppy and largely suggested that staff didn't care and were there to do their absolute bare minimum but even expecting bare minimum clearly was too much to ask. We stayed for 4 nights. After first washing of hands when we just arrived our liquid soap dispenser was empty. They never refilled it in 4 days. On day 2 was nothing left in the body wash dispenser with no refill either. And somehow for the last 2 days we only ended up with 1 bath towel. At 5am trolleys with hotel washing etc would start banging past our room on the outside, by 7am it sounded like we were sleeping at a train station. Breakfast location was really nice but breakfast itself was boring and underwhelming. Restaurant recommendations from front desk were limited to one ok pizza place! And we are in the hart of dining in Rome!!! Overall nothing you couldn't live with but this is not why you book a boutique hotel in Trastevere. Terrible value for money. We would have never booked it if we knew half of it and most certainly will never be back.

Amazing jewel in the heart of trastevere… the location is the best part: you can walk to all the landmarks and restaurants in the region.. the staff was incredible helpful, the room was nice: clean, huge window to the backyard, and the breakfast was amazing: croissant, pies, bread, quality of the ingredients was outstanding.. the waiters were so nice.. wife and I loved it

This is a small and very convenient hotel in Trastevere. The hotel is in an old building but very modern inside. The staff is friendly and helpful with maps and directions. Lots of restaurants nearby and a comfortable bar and restaurant in the hotel.

Beautiful room. Great decor. Hotel workers are super polite and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Located close to store and very good restaurants. I would stay there again.

Rooms are dark, not much light at all. My hairdryer would not work even tho i purchased the correct adapter and it's now broken. The hairdryer there has a very short cord, which makes it difficult to use..and you have to hold the button in just to make it work! Some at the Front desk not too friendly. Breakfast not bad.

Nice, smaller hotel in a lovely part of Rome. Lots of excellent restaurants in the local area, and well placed for a walk to the main sites (majority are 30 to 45 minutes away). The hotel was clean and comfortable. Breakfast selection was fairly good. It would be good if they provided water and complimentary drinks given it is fairly expensive. That aside, I’d recommend it.
