About
Hotel Major Aventinus
Hotel Major Aventinus is a one-star hotel on Via Di Sant'Anselmo 10, on the Aventine side of Rome's Aventino district. It is small — 11 rooms with views of the garden — and the description gives a 25-minute stroll to Piazza Navona. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
Guest reviews paint a consistent picture: calm surroundings, friendly staff, a garden worth using, and easy access to Testaccio and Circus Maximus. The current score is 8.3 from 2,809 reviews, just below the area average of 8.7. With rooms that list only a shower and heating, this is a simple stay rather than a feature-packed one.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Friendly, helpful staff — Reviewers repeatedly describe the team as friendly, kind and respectful, with one guest noting that bags could be left before check-in and after check-out.
- Location on the Aventine — Guests mention being close to Testaccio and Circus Maximus and enjoying a calm, safe neighbourhood that one reviewer said was worth staying in.
- Garden and quiet atmosphere — The garden appears in the amenities list and in reviews as a peaceful place to relax after sightseeing.
- Good value for a budget city stay — Rooms start from £49 in the provided data, and reviewers call out clean beds, central heating and, in several cases, a desk.
–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Basic one-star rooms — The listed in-room amenities are just a shower and heating; this is a no-extras stay, and the one-star rating makes that clear.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals need to plan around that cut-off.
- No pets allowed — The hotel policy says pets are not allowed, which may rule it out for some travellers.
- Small scale means limited choice — With only 11 rooms, the hotel is intimate but capacity is limited. The six room categories are simple configurations with no listed extras.
- Rating is slightly below the area norm — The guest score of 8.3 is respectable but sits below the area average of 8.7, and one recent review found bathroom cleanliness only fair.
