Guest Reviews
- Michael (1/5): Creepy - did not sleep as the interactions with the owner had made me feel so uncomfortable - Location was very good - once we managed to find it Owner was rude and agressive. Signage did not match the name of the booking, when I enquired if there were other guests staying in what turned out to be a B&B the owner became nasty and mocking
- pietro antonio (7/5): -
- Regina (10/5): Clean, comfortable, quiet, and very welcoming, a great location for a visit to Rome. - From the start, Roberto’s welcome was so friendly and he was very helpful. The location of Matisse is a lovely neighbourhood with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants nearby. It is a short walking distance to many iconic sites like Santa Maria Maggiore, Trevi fountain, Colosseum, and slightly longer walking distance to Pantheon, P. Navona etc. it is only 10 min walk to termini train station which was ideal for our day trips outside of Rome. Only that we couldn’t stay longer!
- Syuzanna (7/5): -
- francesca (7/5): Posizione top il resto può migliorare - La vicinanza alla stazione Termini e la posizione in via nazionale Non mi sembra da 9 tutto qua, come segnalato da Booking. Pulita , camere asettiche, bagno sufficiente.
- Yin (8/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): It was a pleasant stay all together. - The property was clean. There was coffee, water and snacks at the front desk all the time. It was a 10 minute walk to the Basilica of Mary Major. It was a 15 minute walk from/to Termini station. There was plenty of hot water. And, the manager/owner Roberto was kind. Public transport (bus) was a 5 minutes walk. The location was a bit far from the places we wanted to go to. At least 20 - 40 minute walk. No amenities ( tv, microwave ).
- Irena (3/5): This place doesn’t fit even three star rating - Location Rusty toilet, shower door need repair, no iron / refrigerator/ coffee maker in the room. Instant coffee in common area. No usb ports.
- Philip (8/5): - Friendly, cleaned every day with sheets and towels replaced. Water in room and toilet roll topped up daily. Norhing

- Alexandre (10/5): -
- Nicola (4/5): - Location was good - close to the station. There was nothing ‘royal’ about it. A complete misnomer
- Adela (8/5): - Proximité du termini . Accueil personnel du propriétaire et sa gentillesse.
- lorraine (7/5): - O quarto econômico é muito pequeno e não tem frigobar nem TV. Me atendeu bem para 1 diária, se fossem mais dias não seria confortável. A localização é excelente, pertinho da estação Termini.
- Sandra (8/5): Absolutely great stay. Will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend. - The location is excellent, couldn't have been better. Very comfortable bed and the place was spotless. The host Toni was lovely, great personality and very, very helpful. He advised us on a great restaurant, gave directions to places we wanted to go and arranged our pick up from the premises at 7am for the airport. No TVs in the rooms, which was great. Very quiet for the location. Absolutely great sleep. The breakfast was just croissants and tea/coffee which you made in a small common area and took back to your room. Just a small suggestion...a microwave and/or toaster would make a huge difference, as visitors could purchase from the nearby supermarket and have a breakfast before venturing out. It works out quite expensive if you're out buying breakfast every day. The only other thing I would say is that the instructions on how to get into the premises could be a little clearer.
- Hammill (10/5): -
- Ana (7/5): - Location. Very, very small room. You cannot turn in the toilet or around the bad.

- Mary (10/5): Exceptional - Matisse was exactly as described by other travellers - great location, good value for money, host was great at check in and check out. We would really recommend this hotel as a value for mney option when in ROme.
- Alava (7/5): Good - Good clean property right in the middle of Rome. Everything a short walk away, but if you would like to take the train the station is nearby as well. Owner was very short and direct. Initial interaction was uncomfortable and very invasive, but as our stay went on he left us alone.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Aizhan (9/5): Excellent Location - The host is nice and helpful.
The rooms are quite small, but the location is perfect, close to the main landmarks. The hotel was reviewed without my consent. I don't know how the system allows to do so. I was going to review it anyway with a good rating, but I am disappointed.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly owner
- Carlo (8/5): Great location, very comfortable and great value for money. - Fantastic location. 10 minutes from Termini station and within walking distance of pretty much everything. Property is located in a Palazzo behind large doors and is really quiet and peaceful despite being off a busy street. Very secure and a comfortable room. Tea, coffee etc available in reception. Not easy to find. Instructions need to be clearer. Air conditioning was a bit hit and miss.
- Sergei (10/5): Exceptional - My wife and I really liked the apartment, it matches the photos perfectly - very beautiful. It is located in the very center next to Trevi station.
There are always croissants at the reception and you can make yourself tea or coffee. It is possible to use the shared refrigerator if necessary.
- Yuxi (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and comfortable bed, walking distance to all sights
- Aylin (9/5): Superb - Excellent location. Clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the main attractions.
- Eddie (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and staff very helpful
- Rania (10/5): Exceptional -
- Galicia (10/5): Exceptional - Location and Price
- Mary (10/5): Fabulous host, great hotel, would recommend! - Location was excellent and very convenient to Colosseum and all public transport. Bed was very comfortable and great shower. The host, Roberto, was extremely friendly and welcoming. Excellent communication as we had a delayed flight and this was no problem! Nothing
- Edyta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Refik (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lfbenitez11 (9/5): Superb -
- Yousef (10/5): recommended - location and cleanliness
- Kevin (8/5): Very good - Location was good. The operator was very helpful. A bit tricky to get to.
- Zhenhui (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was lovely and in a great location
- Erinda (7/5): Good -
- Felix (7/5): Good location for 1-2 nights - The location was very good and the host was also very friendly. For 1-2 nights its a good accommodation. The room was very small (which could be seen before on booking.com) but the bed in our room was quite saggy and not so comfy. Also the bathroom fittings were loose and in not so good condition.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, clean room, with authentic decor! Host was very a nice guy and very accommodating!
- Elina (9/5): Clean, simple room with good AC. - We were lucky to check-in quite early which made us very happy. Very clean room and good AC.
- Kevin (2/5): Beware management posting fake reviews. - The location was fine. The air conditioning was good. The room was clean enough and the shower was fine. Other than that, there was not much to like. The hotel staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Even worse, the management posted a fake review under our name. We did not give the hotel a 10. Potential guests should assume that very few of the positive reviews are real.
- Aneta (7/5): Nice place to stay for short time. - Aircon and free coffee. Too small bathroom.
- Mika (1/5): Host was not very kind at the end of the stay and we had to leave early because we did not feel safe - The owner woke my boyfriend and I up and yelled at us to come out of the room or he was going to call the police because he did not have a picture of my bfs ID… I understand there may be a policy but there was no reason for him to be so rude right away. We ended up leaving one night early. Such a waste of money
- Anastasiia (2/5): Very poor - Location is great, everything else in these reviews r lies. They put my review instead of me! Who does that! We didn’t have great experience: showers r tiny, if you r more than 50 kg you will hardly fit, no tv in room, no fridge , only bed and mirror and tiny shower. Doesn’t worth its money, it’s more like a hostel stay. All reviews r fake, god knows how they do it.
I attach photo that they put fake review of my stay and I’ve received an email that I gave them 5 star.
- Feier (10/5): Exceptional - Easy to find, good location nice interior
- Debadutta (8/5): Very good -
- Verity (8/5): Good serviceable accommodation - Well appointed room in great location Very difficult to find when you get to the building. Directions needed for what to do.

- Srinidhi (2/5): Very poor -
- Qun (10/5): Exceptional - Nice Personal, clean rooms and perfectly located
- Wooksun (10/5): Exceptional - Interior and Location !
- Ann (5/5): A troublesome place with no inside amenities, but in a great location - Great location. Have to telephone someone to get inside the property. That's not clear from messages or booking.com. Underwhelmed by the comfort and facilities. Plumbing was noisy. I would not stay here again for this price.
- Ruijuan (10/5): Exceptional - We felt very comfortable in the hotel. There are many hotels in Rome that make it difficult to choose, but this hotel was perfect. You are greeted in a friendly manner and we particularly liked the Rome “sightseeing tips” that we received directly. Rooms are beautifully furnished and are cleaned daily. We also think the location is great because there is a great ice cream parlor, nice restaurants nearby and almost all the sights are within walking distance. We will be back!
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rosina (10/5): Exceptional - Location and Personal
- Marwa (10/5): Exceptional -

- Ianteng (10/5): Exceptional - Top Location and comfortable bed
- Luana (7/5): Good - It’s incredibly well located, but very difficult to find. They don’t have Wi-Fi at the back rooms.
- Whitaker (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about the stay was great. The location was perfect. My wife and I came in on a train and was able to explore everything we wanted to see on foot from this location for 5 days. Would recommend it to anyone.
- Christophe (2/5): Don't go there. - Great location and free coffee - Very unclean sheets (lots of hair)
- No explanation on how to arrive to the hotel, extremely complex...name not present on bell
- owner offered a transfer to the airport, but then refused because it was at night.. And just told us "yeah wait in the street and try to take a taxi". Guess what, no taxis are there at 4am
- owner trashes previous customers
- owner told us that we should have called him directly to get 60% cheaper rooms, without city taxes
- cheaply decorated, the pictures are excellent but the real life quality is terrible.
- Karol (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect Location and friendly Personal
- Rademaker (5/5): Clean hostel (not hotel) room with next to zero amenities besides a shared mini fridge and instant coffee. - Not much. This was not a hotel but more of a hostel. It was clean though. Nobody on staff except 12-2pm each day. Furnishings were old and damaged. Minimal toiletries provided - soap at sink and in shower. I would have paid hostel prices to stay here but definitely not hotel prices. Terrible value.

- Dominika (8/5): Amazing place for a short stay - Amzing location, stylish building, very friendly host, clean and tidy room Its more for 1-2 nights, the room was really small, we didn't have much space for our bags. Also the guest house doesn't offer any shared space to eat for example and room was too small for that.maybe not everyone cares about that but we wanted to have breakfast and some afternoon tea in the premises and it was a bit uncomfortable

- Ruby (10/5): Fabulous location. - Great location. Walking distance to all the main tourist attractions. (Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain etc) Nice cafes on Vie Fierenze for breakfast (Rosemary Terra e Sappori), around the corner from Matisse Royale. Great selection of gluten free options in most restaurants. You can get a bus to the Vatican on this road also Vie Nazionale. There is a bus stop near the hotel. Very near the main train station too. 10min walk.
Very quiet and very secure. Great selection of restaurants in the street Via del Boschetto. Best gluten free pizza ever tasted in Cimara4. Very near hotel. Loved our trip to Rome., Nothing
- La (7/5): Good -
