Great location. Check in was quick and simple. Unfortunately, our room was located above a very noisy alleyway that had us up much earlier than we would have liked.

Review of hip suites
Very near bars and restaurants. Quite hard to find as no signs just a doorbell. Clean rooms. Only let down is if you have a late flight and there are no suites free, there is only a toilet for facilities no showers and no secure luggage store.

Nice unit in busy Trastevere
Nice place right in the middle of Trastevere. Get the feeling and vibe of this unique part of Rome. Comfortable beds, room fridge. Although there is poor communication beforehand (unanswered emails and no answer at phone number) don't worry, owners contact you a few days beforehand with contact info and details. Also took care of a few hiccups along the way. All in all, a great place to land when in Rome.

The room's cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were mystery stains on the bedspread, mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, and the furniture was worn and had seen better days. The wi-fi worked only part time, and only if you stood right next to the router. The air conditioning similarly worked only part of the time. The staff was friendly through was not available to address my concerns during my stay. I pre-paid for two nights but only stayed one due to these issues.

The hotel is located in a really cool area away from all the touristy stuff, but still plenty of action. There are numerous restaurants, shops, atm's, etc, within in walking distance. It is also a very short walk to the taxi stand. The staff was very accommodating and gracious when I asked for several items we did not have - iron, plug converter, etc. Only drawback for us, was our room faced the street and was just above a restaurant. It was extremely loud until about 2:30am the first night we stayed. The noise got a bit better each night. I think because we got use to it and were extremely tired at the end of each day from all the walking around. I think it was so loud the first night because it was a Saturday night. It's nothing that a noise machine would not take care of. The rooms/bathroom are not very big, but that did not bother us the amount of time we stayed - 2 people/4 nights. However, I did see another room that a friend stayed in that was extremely small even for one person.

Perfect for Adults Always Out, Not For Kids
We had the bottom floor big room. Rafaelle is a great host. Very responsive. Room had a strange configuration. Kind of like a big W with the extra bed in a loft by kitchenette. I think room is too small for 4 people (2 adults, 2 preteens). Hot water heater died on 2 nights resulting in ice cold showers. Wifi router is above cabinet in kitchenette area and is not strong enough to reach the bedroom. So on down time, 4 people were crammed in kitchenette area to get wifi. No place to really sit (like couch). You can sit on beds but we avoided that before showering. There are a few stools in kitchenette but they were uncomfortable. You are given numerous keys for different doors. What we didn't know until day 3 is that to really lock room when leaving, one must turn key counterclockwise at least 6 times to get deadbolt completely in where you just can't push door open. If you only turn key once, a little push on door can open it. We discovered this on accident but fortunately nothing was lost. This room is perfect for two adults who are always out and about. But with kids that want to rest when it gets hot or when they are tired, I would not recommend this place. If I am in Rome by myself in future, I would not hesitate to book this place for myself. In a great area in Trastevere with lots if shops and restaurants.

Great Trastevere location
This was our second stay at Hip Suites. Staff is very helpful to arrange things like transportation to/from airport, online tickets etc. Small apartment style hotel in a fantastic location where there are restaurants and shops all over. Great to explore Rome's sights during the day and head back to Trastevere for a nice evening. Hotel is simple, clean and comfortable.

Easy access from airport. (Train and Tram) Easy to get across the river on tram to via del corso. The Trastevere area is full of life. Was a great place to stay and as a single mum travelling with my two boys I felt quite safe. Hotel staff helpful. Our studio was clean and beds comfortable. Pretty quiet.

A wonderful hotel in good location
The hotel is in a good location and close to lots of point of interests. The staff is friendly and very helpful. the hotel is clean. Tomaso has been exceptionally helpful. Even before our arrival, he provided me with helpful info of how to get to the hotel. Knowing that this was our second trip to Rome, Tomaso gave us a one-day travel plan to visit other places. He also gives us recommendations of a few good restaurants and what to order. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our family and friends. We will stay at this hotel again the next time we go to Rome.

Pathetic and over priced
Shower area was a mess, no water drainage. Bathroom is a joke because after using the toilet you have to wash hands in the basin which is the other end of the room. Bed sheets were not even cleaned with hair of previous guests still on the pillows. All in all the worst stay ever

Marissa was awesome! She was very helpful! Location was perfect for us. We're a young couple so if you are looking for a quiet neighborhood then this is not for you. There are bars and restaurants close by. We loved the area. You can easily walk to all the main attractions in Rome. If you enjoy walking then this is perfect for you. Room as clean!

Nice stay
I stayed three nights at the Hip Suites. Good location, fair price, clean rooms and very helpful and friendly staff. I stayed in a single room which was quite small. Apparently it used to be a part of a large suite, now split in two rooms. It was clean and comfortable so the size didn't bother me so much. But what did bother me was how incredibly thin the walls were. I could literally hear every spoken word, both in the next room (through the thin walls and door, without a threshold) and also the noise from the check-in area. So waking up to some loudspeaking people early in the morning wasn't really the highpoint of my trip. Luckily I had earplugs...

Shockingly nice.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked Hip Suites via hotels.com... When I arrived, I was really pleasantly surprised. The location is great and convenient to most everything. It's only six rooms and the service is really personal. Tomaso is extremely knowledgeable about the area and speaks four languages. All the staff was actually really friendly. The rooms themselves are freshly renovated and are a modern surprise within a fairly old building. The friend I was visiting is at school in Travestere, which made the location particularly convenient for me, so next I return to Rome, I'll definitely be staying here again. I'd highly recommend this hotel--and this is coming from a wary traveler that usually only stays in brand-name hotels.

I know where I'll be staying when in Rome.
Hip Suites was the perfect spot to stay in Rome. It is located within walking distance of The Forum, Colosseum, and many other attractions. The hotel was very clean and the staff were EXCEPTIONALLY helpful (and spoke excellent English). HS is small (only six rooms) and did not offer the typical hotel experience. That's a good thing. I will definitely be staying here every time I return to Rome.

Amazing Location, Excellent Service, Nice Rooms.
Me and my girlfriend spent a few nights in Naples then got the train to Rome for the rest of the week. The hotel was priced good and looked in a good location from google maps/reviews on trip adviser. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly man who told us about our room, the free coffee machine, a map and directions for things to do near by/must sees of the local life. The area wasn't bad to walk around in the early hours after being out all evening/night, many of the bars are open until 1 or 2am. We strongly advise getting a taxi and making sure they know and take you to the hotel door! We were pushed out of the taxi by the driver somewhere nearby and ordered to pay the full price, after 20 minutes wandering around the streets we found the hotel again. The main attractions in the city are an easy walking distance e.g. Piazza Navona 25 mins, Colosseum 35 mins, Trevi Fountain 30 mins. It is nice coming off the main roads and simplest routes to discover the back streets with hidden buildings, statues and restaurants. The bus 23, which takes you to the Vatican and St.Pauls, is only a ten minute walk away and very cheap 1.50 euro. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR TICKET TIME STAMPED WHEN YOU GET ON THE BUS OR YOU MAY RUN INTO TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSPORT OFFICERS ASKING FOR A 50+ EURO FINE FOR EACH TICKET UN-STAMPED! Overall it was an amazing trip! Thank you :D

Perfect location and Lovely room
This was a fantastic place in the heart of the bustling and trendy Trastevere neighborhood of Rome. We walked to all the major landmarks of the city including the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and Colosseum (All about 20 to 25 minutes walking). There are countless restaurants and cafes within 5 min walking and even more near the Camp del Fiori (10 min walking). Tomaso the owner of Hip Suites was incredibly helpful and spent a lot of time with us recommending places to go and things to do. All of the restaurants he recommended were wonderful. He was very knowledgeable. Its almost like a bed and breakfast, in that Tomaso is around all of the morning and on a limited basis in the afternoon, but he is very accessible by email or phone if you need anything. The room was very clean and nice with a white decor. The junior suite was spacious for a Rome hotel. We had more than enough room and very much enjoyed this place. Would highly recommend and stay here again.

Extremely noisy, inside and outside
The hotel itself is fine and quite well located. But the noise from the street was awful and the rooms are not soundproofed to an efficient extent. It continued until 4am and there were even people passing out flyers about reducing the noise in the area. and then began again at 7am in the "reception area" where the staff decided to make calls. The walls are paper thin so we could hear everything clearly and loudly. It was ridiculous. This continued on a Saturday morning until 9am. Also, none of the staff I saw during the trip said hello or asked how things were going. Compared to other hotels, I felt I was just another credit card to run. I do not recommend it and I will not stay here again.
