Hotel Isa

A four-star hotel near St. Peter's in Rome with a rooftop terrace and bar, a cafe, and breakfast with a view.

Why people love it

• Rooftop terrace. Guests call the terrace and breakfast with a view of the city a highlight.
• Staff by name. Danielle and Jose are praised, and one family was upgraded to a larger room with a terrace on arrival. A honeymoon couple received champagne.
• Quiet, walkable location. Guests say St. Peter's Basilica is about a 10-minute walk and the street is quiet.
• Lobby and the old elevator. Reviewers mention the artsy lobby and the antique Otis elevator.

The worst thing guests say

Room condition and utilities. In April 2026 one guest said there was no hot water for three days and that guests were told it would be fixed soon. In August 2026 a guest gave 1 star over hard beds and a shower that splashed water over the floor. Between 2024 and 2026 five more guests said rooms had no air conditioning despite the website, thin walls, outdated rooms or smoking in nearby rooms.

Insider tips

• Ask whether your room has air conditioning before booking.
• Light sleeper? Ask for a room away from the courtyard.
• Rooftop breakfast has no lunch or dinner service.
• The elevator is old and narrow, so you may use the stairs.
