Hotel Barrett

The centralized location was ideal for walking to major Rome sites. Front desk people were extremely friendly. The decor of the lobby, hallways and room were funky cool, unlike any other hotel. Room was a bit cramped (as is most of Europe) and "breakfast" involves eating in your room, but these negatives were overcome by all the rest of the positive aspects.

This hotel is in a great area. However I would not stay here again and I definitely would not feel comfortable staying here by myself (I did not feel that comfortable staying here even with my husband). The hotel is extremely cluttered and messy, and the room is filled with strange “extras” like an old back massager, hot dog toaster and foot spa. This would have been fine but it makes it hard to maneuver around your small room. My main concern happened in the morning. As we walked downstairs to leave for the day the man who had worked reception the night before was on the couch in the main lobby with a blanket and pillow and looked like he just woke up. It was very strange and unprofessional and I didn’t have a good feeling about the place already.

Great little hotel within 15 minutes walk from nearly everything in Rome. 5 mins from Piazza Navona, 5 mins from Pantheon. Rooms are a bit small, but very clean and comfortable. Staff is very enthusiastic and friendly.

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful stay and hotel Barrett was the perfect hotel for us. The people at reception were extremely helpful and the location was perfect. We have recommended the hotel to our family and friends!
