Santa Maria Maggiore Boutique Hotel
Nice little Boutique Hotel by Santa Maria Maggiore. Room was big enough and comfortable. The big plus is the terrace bar with beautiful views of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Rome skyline. Perfect for sunsets.

This property was absolutely wonderful. Our room was very spacious, uniquely laid out, comfortable with a modern, stylish bathroom. Staff was nice, courteous and helpful with our dinner reservation. Rooftop bar was fabulous with great views and fine cocktails. Location was good, close to major attractions. We truly enjoyed our stay in this hotel and will recommend it to anyone visiting Rome

The hotel is nice and staff very attentive through WhatsApp even before and after our stay. The rooftop that they advertise is very small not lounge chairs only tables that you as guest can not use unless you have a reservation as everyone else. We we’re excited to have a rooftop but at the end couldn’t enjoy as guests only in the morning for breakfast which was average as well, not the kind you expect for what you’re paying. Rooms are quite small. The location is ok but not as convenient is quite far for the nice areas like Spanish steps and peatonal areas with shopping you have to walk there at least 30 minutes one way… we really thought it was more central the location at least for what almost many tourists want in Rome.

The classic room advertises a king size bed on Expedia but it is not a king size bed. Hotel is apparently aware of the issue but doesn’t notify you of the discrepancy until check in.

Hot water didn't kick in until the morning (we ended up taking a cold bath) but the upgraded room was very spacious and lovely, with a great view of the Basilica. Staff were friendly. Breakfast left something to be desired (no fresh fruit, offering was decent but not spectacular).

I loved my stay at The Major! I had to change my hotel plans last minute and was lucky to find a room here, and it ended up being better than I imagined. The hotel is just 10 minutes walking from Termini station, and well located within the city of Rome—I wish I had more time to explore! The rooftop bar was so relaxing and the breakfast was delicious. A lovely experience, all around.
