Casa San GiuseppeEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Casa San Giuseppe B&B is situated in the center of historic Trastevere, surrounded by cobblestone streets, trailing ivy and traditional craft shops.

Sadly, the hotel’s interior lacks the character of its surroundings, with the majority of the 29 rooms done up in the same peaches-and-cream color scheme. But guestrooms and private bathrooms are large and comfortable and boast a substantial number of amenities, including air-conditioning, a minibar, TV and telephone.

The Casa San Giuseppe compensates for the ho-hum room décor with a welcoming reception area, lounge and breakfast room. These common areas feature traditional ceilings, some interesting artifacts and even a piano. Some quirky artifacts are scattered about, including an antique wooden workbench in the breakfast room. The hotel also boasts a terrace garden.

Note: The Casa San Giuseppe is located very near Trastevere’s main strip of student bars. This area can be noisy into the wee hours of the night. If in doubt, ask for a room overlooking the parking lot or, better yet, the neighboring convent.
