The service I received whilst staying at La Ripa was above average. I can't comment about the daytime services/activities as we used the hotel for dining and sleeping for access to Rome. Dining; breakfast was a dissapointment due to lack of choice with only cold food to choose from on a 'help yourself basis', hot drinks and limited cold drinks were available but was out of drinking machines although I have to say the cappuccinos were one of the nicest I have had out of a machine. Dinner; food was very good! We had a set menu consisting of a starter, main course occasionally serving seconds or more! Dessert was limited to fresh fruit. ||||Accomodation was very good. Three beds to a room equipped with a small standard box TV although was not used throughout stay. Beds were made to a high standard with clean sheets each day. Bathroom was clean, equipped with free toiletries such as soaps, shampoos and shower caps. Clean towels were provided everyday. The only disadvantage about our room was that my two room mates was not able to fit their travel adaptors into the sockets around the room and had to result to use mine as it was the only one that appeared to work. On the same floor was a guest room with comfortable chairs and surrounding which was to our advantage as we were a large group. ||||Staff were outstanding, took the group in batches in their minibus to the local bus station which was a short distance to catch a direct bus into Rome and vice versa when returning to the local bus...

Read moreQuite big and comfortable family hotel. Located on a slope of a scenic hill - it's lovey to wake up to a choir of birds chirping outside.
Our room (double) was quite comfortable, but sadly there were two separate beds that we had to put together. Maybe at least the legs of those beds could be firmly connected when a couple is visiting? Bathroom was humongous and with a big tub instead of the typical italian shower without sink. I recommend a typical shower with a sink as a pinnacle of hygienic armature.
The room was very cold (we were there in late April) but we didn't know during our first night, that the AC could be used to heat too, silly us. So keep that in mind.
One thing that I would like to point out to the owners- the doors to our room (second on the right on the third floor) were not fitting too well to their frame. That's one thing to fix then. Also, almost everyone now is using a carriage luggage with wheels, it would be great to acces the entrance to the hotel with those. Or on a wheelchair for that matter.
The hotel has a lot of balconies and facilities for kids, playground. Food was tasty and the service staff...
