Highly recommended

Excellent hotel right in the heart of the historic district of Rome. There are only four rooms in this establishment, contained in an area of a centuries old building. The owner was there to greet us and give us a tour of the facility. She also provided advice for visiting the surrounding area. The room itself was clean and updated. You are within walking distance to all tourist attractions. Highly recommend recommended.

We arrived early in the AM (3am). Instructions to enter were very easy and safe. Clean room and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Great location for restaurants!
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location, we walked everywhere from there. Its in the quiet end of Trastevere, which felt more local, but still endless choice of restaurants and bars just a few minutes walk away. The room was large and really comfortable with a lovely treelined view across to the river. Its on a busy road but the sound proofing was excellent. Laura gave us some fantastic suggestions for restaurants and other places and markets we might like, and made some reservations for us. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Rome!
Sharon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

For the price point, this property was exceptional. Located in a fantastic part of the city (the Trastevere), it was also easy walking distance to many parts of the city and to the major sights. Although it’s located on a main road, the dual-paned windows delightfully masked the sound of the traffic just outside the window. The bed was very comfortable and linens high-quality. Loved the waterfall shower. Also really appreciated the access to the small but well-appointed lounge and kitchen area. The espresso, as well as the fresh cakes and treats, were wonderful.
Gina, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a quiet guest house, even though lungotevere is a Main Street. It was perfect for short stay, bed & room comfortable size and was easy walking to colosseum and really anywhere. Trastevere is at your doorstep. Best way of contact is via Expedia or calling the contact # they provide, not what’s ap. Helpful in setting up taxi to airport and getting us checked as soon as we got there, we did notify them of our estimated arrival via train and someone was waiting for us for smooth check in. We had a 20€ food & beverage -only used a portion of it. No issue getting a good nights rest.

4/10 Fair

Terrible!! mis advertisement!

We expected a room with river view as advertised instead room is on street level with GAS STATION view on one side and cars parked on the other, people walk on sidewalk by your window…Heard traffic and saw headlights all night. A sliver of soap size not even replaced the next day. Broken toilet seat!! The « free « snacks were just packaged goods not replenished the next day. Asked for a bottle of Prosecco the second night and instead a bottle of WARM white wine was put in room. No red wine offerings as advertised. Beware of hours for check out. Order your ride ahead of time for airport. No taxis available when we were ready to leave and had to order a Uber black for 99 euros. The personal touch people refer to was not offered to us! There was no one to talk to after check in at 2 pm simply to pay and be shown the room with the « views ». Only 4 rooms in all. All on street. We had corner view with side window to gas station as a bonus!
SIDE WINDOW CLOSED
SIDE WINDOW OPEN WITH VIEW ON GAS STATION, or rather gas station has view on the room...
"River" view...

Great little place in Trastevere … but!

Let me start Bryan saying Laura was a GREAT hosted to this small (4) unit property. All was great until our last night. In the middle of the night our room was fill with the overpowering smell of Ammonia. Not sure what happened but it made my wife and I nauseous . The room was not occupiable. We Brought this to Laura’s attention immediately when she arrived in the morning. She didn’t appear to take this seriously until her maintenance man brought it to her attention.. We feel the situation was handled poorly as any hotel/ motel, etc would have moved us or comped us 1 night…

DONI, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Palazzo Baj Guesthouse in the heart of Trastevere! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. First of all, the cleanliness of the entire guesthouse is impeccable—spotless rooms and common areas that made me feel truly comfortable and at home. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, with high ceilings, elegant decor, and plenty of natural light, which is rare to find in such a central Roman location. A delightful bonus was the complimentary cake and coffee, available throughout the day—perfect for a quick recharge after exploring the city or as a gentle start to the morning. What really made the stay special was Laura, the host. She’s incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely cares about making your stay perfect. From restaurant recommendations to helping with directions or bookings, Laura goes above and beyond—her local tips were absolute gold! The location couldn’t be better. You’re less than a 5-minute walk from some of the highest-rated restaurants in Rome, right in the heart of Trastevere. Whether you’re in the mood for authentic Roman pasta, a cozy wine bar, or vibrant nightlife, everything is just around the corner. If you’re looking for a place with charm, comfort, and outstanding hospitality, Palazzo Baj is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to come back!

It was a very convenient location for us, walking to the Circo Massimo and Colosseum. Room was easy to find with Laura's excellent communication and instructions. Comfortable room, small snake area had coffee's, teas and snacks available.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was super cute and I would definitely stay here again! Its located in right over the river which we ended up loving. Its a bit further away from the tourist-y stuff in the best way possible. Still walkable to the Colosseum and the Vatican (30-40 minutes) but tucked away enough that we felt like we were getting a more authentic experience. The host was super nice and helpful with recommendations and assistance in getting rides.
