About
The Wesley Rome Hotel
The Wesley Rome Hotel occupies the second and third floors of a building on Via Del Banco Di Santo Spirito, right across from Castel Sant'Angelo and close to the Tiber. It holds an 8.2 guest rating from 229 reviews.

Rooms are simple but comfortable, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, minibars and electric kettles. The listed room types all come with a city view, and the family room is noted for its size and two bathrooms. The team earns consistent praise for being helpful and English-speaking, and guests describe a daily breakfast of yogurt, fruit and pastries.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Early check-out — Check-out is between 09:00 and 10:00, so plan the last morning accordingly.
- Fixed check-in window — Check-in runs only from 12:00 to 18:00. Travellers arriving outside these hours will need to plan around it.
- Some rooms use an external bathroom — The 'Double Room Private External Bathroom' means the bathroom is not inside the sleeping area, and this room type does not list a shower.
- Not a full-service hotel — The hotel occupies the second and third floors of a building, and reviewers describe a B&B-style set-up with shared toilets and a shared kitchen in places, rather than a large hotel with facilities.
- No pets — Pets are not allowed, so travellers with animals will need to find alternative accommodation.

8.2Verified guest“I couldn't believe how amazing the location was. Right across from the river and the famous bridge, I had a wonderful view from the front door. The Vatican and everything in central Rome were within walking distance. The price was also fantastic for the small apartment I stayed in. It was basic and old, but clean and tidy. I'd recommend it for the outstanding location and affordability.”
