Guest Reviews

Public transportation options, including metro stations and bus lines, are also easily accessible with Piramide station just a short walk away. This connectivity facilitates easy access to all corners of the city.
Guests frequently highlight the convenience of being able to walk to numerous tourist attractions and dining options, although it's worth noting that the hotel's hilltop position means some uphill walking is required. The surrounding area is safe, quiet and filled with picturesque sights like the Keyhole, the Orange Garden and panoramic views of Rome.
Overall, San Anselmo's location strikes a perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility, making it an ideal spot for visitors looking to enjoy both the peacefulness of a residential neighborhood and the proximity to Rome's vibrant historical and cultural landmarks.
Breakfast
Staff service during breakfast is frequently highlighted as friendly and attentive, contributing to the overall positive experience. The atmosphere of the dining area, whether indoors or in the picturesque garden, adds to the charm.
Though predominantly praised, some guests mentioned a desire for more variety and warmer options, specifically missing scrambled eggs or bacon and occasional reports of repetitive items. Despite these minor criticisms, the breakfast at San Anselmo remains a standout feature, often described as wonderful, filling and a great way to start the day. From fresh honey to excellent coffee, the offerings cater to a diverse range of preferences, making the breakfast a memorable part of any stay at the hotel.

Superior rooms, in particular, receive praise for their generous size and elegant furnishings. Some rooms even have lovely terraces or balconies overlooking the garden or the stunning Roman landscape.
However, not all reviews are glowing. While some rooms are spacious and luxurious, others are critiqued for being too small, dark or inadequately equipped. Issues like non-functional air conditioners, limited storage space and insufficient soundproofing occasionally detract from guests' experiences. Nonetheless, the overall atmosphere and aesthetic of the rooms are well-received, often described as beautifully decorated and tastefully done.
The hotel's peaceful environment, combined with the attentive and polite staff, ensures a pleasant stay. Despite a few areas for improvement, such as room size inconsistencies and certain maintenance issues, San Anselmo remains a lovely option for travelers seeking a mix of historic elegance and modern comfort in Rome.
Beds
Several guests also appreciate the bedding materials, describing them as very comfortable with good fabric and great bedding. The firmness of the mattresses receives mixed feedback with some guests appreciating the firm and memory foam options that provide a quality sleep experience.
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some guests find the mattresses a bit too hard, noting that the beds could benefit from softer or orthopedic options. There are mentions of mattresses being spring-based and, occasionally, two twin beds pushed together to form a queen bed, which some found uncomfortable.
Despite these varied opinions on firmness, a significant number of guests still find the overall bed experience at San Anselmo to be very positive with emphasis on comfort, supportive bedding and quality sleep.

However, there are some inconsistencies with the four-star label.

Some guests felt that the breakfast was too limited and the quality-price ratio did not align with their expectations of a four-star hotel.
A notable issue highlighted is the use of double rooms with single mattresses, which many feel is not fitting for a hotel of this caliber. Some guests reported that parts of the hotel feel a bit basic and do not match four-star standards.
Overall, while the staff service levels are exceptional, there are areas where the hotel does not entirely fulfill the expectations of its four-star rating.
Accessible
While the hotel itself is generally suitable for people with disabilities with wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and elevator facilities, some areas need improvement. For example, access to the breakfast room requires navigating steps, although assistance is available if needed. Rooms designed for people with disabilities are available, though space in the bathrooms can feel a bit tight.
Overall, San Anselmo is a well-located choice for travelers with disabilities, offering essential accessibility options and convenient access to the city's attractions.
