Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Princeps Boutique Hotel is often described as a chic and cozy choice, conveniently located near the hop-on-hop-off bus stop and just steps away from the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. Guests frequently appreciate the immaculate rooms, often finding complimentary drinks in the fridge and enjoying access to coffee throughout their stay; while most find the beds comfortable, some have noted the mattresses can be a bit too firm. Its proximity to Termini train station and other historical sites makes it a great value for exploring Rome.

the location was amazing! it is close to the main station, and a lot of the sights are also walkable. the room was already ready for us when i arrived around 11:00. the staff was very friendly and professional..
the room was very small with odd layout. there was little natural light with french doors to a dingy internal courtyard. the signage outside was poorly marked, it made it hard to find at first..

Basilica de santa maria maggiore is right across the street. It was super convenient. the hotel is in a nice quiet area, i enjoyed that. the staff were always present and helpful with anything i needed. one even let me use his phone charger when mine broke, VERY nice.
there NEEDS to be better signage out the front of the building. it was confusing to find the hotel as it isn't just the hotel. you have to go up to level 4 to reach the reception.

The hotel's location is convenient. I found the hop-on-hop-off bus stop right across from the hotel. Saint Mary Major Basilica is also just steps away. I really appreciated the helpful staff and the cleanliness of the rooms.
The signage outside could be improved, as the hotel occupies only the 4th floor of the building.
