Two words that cause me to give this hotel a very high rating are: Alberta Castelli. Alberta runs a wonderful, warm 7 room hotel located on the 2nd (Euro) floor of a building on Via Cavour, near the Colisseum. If you are looking for special grand scale amenities, this is not for you. But, if you are looking for a... more

The hotel is in a great location, fairly close to the bus/train station. You are a block away from the Colosseum. Alberta is very nice and helpful. She booked our dinners on a moments notice all but one night. Every restaurant she suggested was fantastic and close to the hotel. The room is large by European standards, with a large... more

Not much to review with this hotel, it is a very basic 2 star hotel that is centrally located in downtown Rome.

Alberta was wonderful!! The room was wonderful, quiet, comfortable and spotless. The location cannot be beat. We had a wonderful time. Alberta was more than helpful - she just took care of us. Will stay at Hotel Paba everytime we're in Rome. more

The rooms are average size for Italy. They were clean and the room was cleaned daily, including bed liens, etc. The bathroom was a nice size as well. Each... more

Myself and two friends stayed here for 5 nights and found the stay perfectly enjoyable. The room (#6) was large by European standards. It was equipped with three wonderfully firm twn beds. One of us is a "big boy" and the bed was just fine for him. The room had a small refridgerator and wonder little balcony over busy Via... more

My husband and I just returned from a weeks visit in Rome. Our tour to Italy was cancelled so about a month ago we had to rethink our whole vacation. I had booked our last night of the tour at Hotel Paba based on reviews froom this website. Once the tour was cancelled, I wrote to the owner (Alberta) and... more
