Hotel Carmel is a two-star hotel located in a residential area in the heart of Trastevere, one of Rome’s oldest and liveliest neighborhoods. The property occupies a building on Via Goffredo Mameli, just a few metres from restaurants, bars and the famous Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV; several room types feature a terrace or overlook a shared private terrace, while the larger accommodations can host up to three people. A minibar is present in most rooms, as are a safe and a hairdryer.
Breakfast is served daily in a sweet buffet style, with the option to request a kosher meal for a small extra charge. The neighbourhood is ideal for those who want to explore on foot: crossing Lungotevere della Farnesina leads to St. Peter’s and the Vatican Museums, while in the opposite direction the Colosseum and Circus Maximus are easily reached. A good choice for those seeking a simple, central stay immersed in the authentic atmosphere of Trastevere.
Hotel Carmel offers four room types, all with an internal private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, designed to suit different needs, from solo travellers to families with children. Room sizes range from 9 sqm for the smallest room to 16 sqm for the triple, and several options allow guests to choose between a double bed or two single beds.
Some rooms open directly onto the hotel’s terrace or share access to it, a detail that makes the stay brighter even in the more compact spaces. A minibar is present in most room types, while the triple room adds a fridge and safe for those travelling in a group. Overall, the range favours simplicity and functionality, in keeping with the property’s central, budget-friendly nature.
The Single Room with Private Bathroom is the most compact option in the property, designed for solo travellers. At 9 sqm, it is the smallest of the four room types, but it opens onto the hotel’s terrace and features a shower, air conditioning and a minibar.
The Double Room with Private Bathroom covers 12 sqm and offers two alternative configurations: a double bed or two single beds, a flexibility that sets it apart from the double room with external bathroom. A bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV and minibar complete the amenities.
The Double Room with External Private Bathroom shares the 12 sqm size with the other double room, but stands out for its view of the hotel’s beautiful private terrace, a detail that makes it the preferred choice for those seeking outdoor space.
At 16 sqm, the Triple Room with Private Bathroom is the largest in the property and can host up to three people, with one single bed and one large double bed. In addition to the bathroom with shower, it features a fridge, safe and hairdryer, ideal for families or small groups.
Hotel Carmel offers a range of services designed to make a stay in the heart of Trastevere practical. All rooms are non-smoking, air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries, a hairdryer and a power outlet near the bed; many also have a desk and an electric kettle.
General services include a terrace, luggage storage, laundry service and a safe, while free WiFi is available throughout the property. The dining area offers the option to order wine or champagne, along with breakfast served daily. It should be noted that the building has no lift, so the upper floors are accessible only by stairs, a detail worth considering for those travelling with heavy luggage or with reduced mobility.
