Horti 14 Borgo Trastevere Hotel

This is a hotel unique for Rome in many respects, but especially notable for its exceptional modern architecture nesting comfortably in an an historic and luxuriantly green and quiet setting, though only ten minutes by foot from the bustle of Trastevere. One feels cocooned in a kind of utopia here. The staff, too stands out for friendliness and helpfulness.

Lovely staff, atmosphere and room. Had an amazing time here and everyone was so welcoming. The evening bar in particular had some great drinks and was hosted by the loveliest person. Thank you again Horti!

Great location in my favourite Rome neighbourhood. The hotel is very nice and modern. Good breakfast for Italy as well!

Our stay here was wonderful. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful and I really appreciated being allowed to take a teapot of hot water to my room each night! My daughter loved the hotel cat, Luna, and the varied breakfast was a great start for the day. The rooms are lovely, large, comfortable and stylish and the courtyard and leafy plants give a great sense of calm after a busy day sightseeing. The location is perfect. It takes about 10 mins to walk to the twisty streets of Trastevere, 20 mins to walk to St Peters square and about 15 to walk over the bridge to get into the Centro Storico. I think it was 20 mins from here to the Pantheon. I would heartily recommend staying here and not the Centro Storico. It was less busy but with no sense of missing out. The Hotel is also 5 mins from Villa Farnese and a small but lovely gallery Corsini, which is a bit of a gem if you have time to spare. Hugely recommend.

We arrived very late, at about 11 pm, due to a flight delay, but we received a warm welcome from the very friendly staff. Our room was in a garden, and was very peaceful. At the back of the garden were trees in the Gianicolo public park, so it was all very quiet and relaxing - a big bonus in noisy Rome. It felt like countryside in a busy city - "rus in urbe", as the ancient Romans used to say! The room itself was top quality: luxurious shower-room and very comfortable beds. There was a step between the bed area and the shower area, so be careful when stepping from one to the other in the dark. The breakfast was predictably delicious, and the staff helpful and attentive. The breakfast room also overlooked the garden and trees in the park. Buses were a short walk away, on the main road along the river (lungotevere), but we walked across one of the bridges over the river into the historic city centre. In the afternoon we had to get a taxi to the next place we were staying (a rental flat in Prati), and the staff were very helpful in phoning for a taxi for us, and giving us information about travel in Rome. Although we travelled in November, the hotel appeared to be fairly full (judging by the numbers in the breakfast room), so book early for this one!
