    Nothing to fault about the property.

    Our stay was fantastic. Upon arriving early, the staff went above and beyond to get us into our room earlier, which was a huge relief after a long day of travel. The location was fantastic, with some great local restaurants within walking distance. Each day, we would walk from the hotel into central Rome, enjoying the opportunity to see local sites.

    I had a wonderful stay here. The room was beautifully designed, cozy, very comfortable and spacious — every detail felt well thought out and tasteful. The shared areas were just as lovely: calm, clean, and welcoming. The location also worked perfectly for me, with easy access to public transportation. I got around smoothly and felt safe the whole time. I’d definitely stay here again. A great balance between comfort, design, and convenience.

    Nothing. Genuinely nothing.

    Some people might say Testaccio is a little out of the way, but location really isn’t that important in Rome. No matter where you stay, you are going to have to rely on public transport regularly because Rome is so big, and the landmarks are all quite spread out. The hotel has 2-3 bus stops within a 7 minute walk that all go into the city centre practically every 15/20 minutes. There are some excellent (and I truly mean excellent) restaurants, cafés and convenient food places nearby. I can’t recommend Remo enough for pizza. Piazza Testaccio is a dream at night for a few casual drinks, and is just a short walk away. There’s also a McDonald’s just around the corner if you need something fast and convenient. The PIN number entrance for the building and room is great meaning you don’t have a key or card to potentially lose! The cold water tap and coffee machine were excellent. Free earplugs and teabags etc were a really nice touch, even though I found the area to be very quiet and didn’t the earplugs. The room was absolutely spotless with great facilities like a kettle, fridge and iron. The bathroom and shower were also immaculate with plenty of high quality locally made shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The bed was so comfortable, and the room staff were very attentive and quick. There was a great TV in the room but we didn’t actually use it. Plenty of plugs for charging devices, not to mention the USB and USB-C ports for additional devices. The balcony was great, and the shutter system was a really nice feature to ensure a great night’s sleep. I have to specifically mention the air conditioning. As an Irish couple who are used to the occasional summer day of 20°C heat, we were very concerned about the heat in the room. On the days we were in Rome, the temperature didn’t drop below 31°C. However, the AC in our room was exceptional. It meant we came home to a lovely cool room each evening where we could get a great night’s sleep.

    Wifi kept disconnecting, not sure why. The breakfast spread can be improved with additions such as yoghurt & more fruit....You could also think of adding a little splash pool at the back especially as weather can get out of hand hot in this place.

    Place is really lovely. Staff is friendly & ever ready to assist. It is clean. Offers really good breakfast compared to many places in Italy. Spread is limited, but it is great. Free 24hr wifi. 24hr room service. 24hr tea/coffee & beverage offers. Central to buses & trains. Safe to walk around even at midnight.

    I’d maybe expect a small gym or any other facility but I don’t mind too.

    I really enjoyed my stay at Sonder Testaccio. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. It also had a balcony—perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The neighbourhood is one of the best in Rome, full of local charm and far from the usual tourist crowds. It’s a great place to experience the authentic city and enjoy some of the best restaurants around.

    The size of the room and the bathroom were excellent with plenty of storage and it was nice to have a bathroom cabinet as well as drawers. Good to have a balcony but the ones on the back don't have any view but was nice to be able to have the space to sit out. There is free coffee, tea and water all day which is good to have. I didn't have breakfast so couldn't comment on that. Overall it was a good place to stay and compared to some of the prices in Rome it was good value, quite easy to access all the sights via public transport and/or walking with some nice restaurants for dinner.

    Only small fault was the lack of a well let mirror to sit in front of and put your make up on. Good lighting in wet room but mirror steamy after shower.

    Really nice feel to the hotel. V private. Comfortable room and great air conditioning. Balcony was a bonus.

    Location was not very central but with a short walk you could reach public busses which takes you to your destination.

    The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Room was very spacious. I enjoyed the breakfast very much, and the coffee machine and water machine that was available throughout the day. Staff was always available to help with questions. I particularly liked the storage lockers available where we could store our suitcase on the day of check-out since my departure was later in the day. Also, my sister had an issue with the strong cologne of a guest staying next to our room. After bringing it up to the staff, the next day the smell was gone. Thanks to the helpful staff for addressing this promptly!

    The market next door is great for breakfast. The hotel buffet breakfast seemed pricey for 15€ per person

    Nice stay in a modern hotel with great facilities. Nice 30 min walk to the main parts of Rome though there are buses close by that you can also catch.

    Honestly nothing! You get exactly what you pay for with great service on top.

    From the moment we checked in, we had nothing short of an excellent experience. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, offering a coffee and sparkling water whilst we waited to be checked in and then giving us a complimentary early check in, which honestly made our stay. The room was beautiful and clean, and a great size. The breakfast was great and the staff called us a taxi to the airport which made the early travel day so much smoother. The neighbourhood is definitely further out, but for anyone who's been to Rome before and doesn't need to be in the centre, or doesn't mind a walk, it's perfect.
