San SamueleEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

A budget-friendly one-star located near the Campo San Stefano, the San Samuele blends the boutique and antique. From the dramatically lit courtyard entry (with artwork) to the funky furnishings scattered throughout, the hotel has a bit of flair.

The San Samuele is run by the friendly Judith, who also owns the nearby Locanda Art Deco (which we also review). The San Samuele offers lower rates than its three-star brother, and it still offers some cheapo rooms without private bath (some of which have fabulous neighborhood views).

The 10 rooms showcase a style that’s both simple and chic, mixing period furniture with original abstract prints, bold pink walls and original marble floors. But they're all basic when it comes to amenities: no TVs, telephones or air conditioning. A Wi-Fi connection, however, is provided for free.

Bathrooms range from tidy and tiled, to very simple (as in plain and white). All are clean and relatively modern. Two large family-style rooms on the top floor sleep up to five and are equipped with larger bathrooms.

A continental breakfast is offered in another hotel (the Hotel Salieri, also owned by the same proprietor) for €5.
