Hotel Santa Maria Review
A three-star in a sixteenth-century cloister off Piazza Santa Maria, with ground-floor rooms around a courtyard.

Why it stands out
The cloister. It answers the exact trade-off the area is scored down for.
Main trade-off
It is a three-star: the rooms are simple, and the area is still the loudest in Rome once you step outside.
Why we recommend it
Best for a Trastevere stay
The strongest Trastevere pick because it is a former cloister built around an orange-tree courtyard, which is the only reliable defence against the noise that comes with the area.
