Antica Locanda dell'Orso

The hotel overall, is nice. Some of the good things to note are that it is in a great neighborhood minutes walking from most of Rome’s attractions. The rooms are modern with A/C and refrigerators. And finally, the rooms are clean. As for the bad things, there are several things about this hotel that could be improved. The pictures are a bit misleading, as they operate more like a bed and breakfast than a real hotel. As such, no one is at the front desk after 11pm (you have to let yourself in with a key, which isn’t very secure). The staff are professional, but not very friendly or accommodating. The first floor of the building also has a strong odor (the hotel is on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, but As you enter the building the odor is present). The hotel does not offer any breakfast/food in general at all, and finally, they do not change your towels unless you ask. They simply re-fold them. I assume they did the same with our sheets as well. Overall the hotel is good. Not great, but not bad. If you are traveling casually and want a comfortable place to spend a night or two, this place will be just fine. But if you are looking for a traditional hotel, look for a different property. This hotel is more in line with a nice guest house or Japanese ryokan than a proper hotel.

I stayed here with my wife a couple of nights before leaving back home. We loved the central location walking distance to Vatican City and restaurants. The hotel was clean and modern and the staff was very friendly. They also have an elevator which was nice when we were tired of walking sooo much. There are 2 nearby drinking fountains where you can refill your water bottles. We used these throughout our entire trip! I would recommend this place with a few things in mind. At night the hallway light peeped in and I had a hard time sleeping. I’m a light sleeper and sensitive to light so it kept me tossing and turn for a while. Also, the bar soap they provided left my skin feeling super dry! I recommend you bring your own soap if you’re not used to Euro soap here or buying a brand that is good on your skin like L’ Occitane.

We stayed for 3 nights. It was very nice and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The B&B was marked well on the outside door so it was easy to find and check in was smooth

Great location! When we first got there, the front desk attendant were very helpful in trying to get the reservation for the Papal Audience. Although, we were not able to get reservations due to being last minute (day before), we do appreciate them trying to help. The room is quite small, but I thinking it was okay since we started our day at 7am and came back around 9-10pm. We were only there to shower and sleep. We didn’t have difficulties finding the hotel! Very close to Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and across the bridge from the Vatican! We will surely stay there again.
