Mate Filippo
Contemporary boutique with designer interiors — colourful, warm and residential in feel. Not a grand palazzo hotel; more of a cool urban retreat that happens to have an incredible address.
Book early to secure room assignment preferences — the hotel has some accessible bathroom configurations that suit some guests less than others
Why It Matters
Consistently ranked among Rome's top hotels on TripAdvisor (#7 of 1,153 hotels). Designed by Tomás Alía. Operated by Room Mate Hotels — a Madrid-based group known for affordable designer boutique hotels in major European cities. The rooftop terrace and honesty bar are genuine highlights that guests rave about.
Room Mate Collection Filippo is a 30-room, 4-star boutique hotel in Rome's smart Ludovisi district, 500 metres from the Spanish Steps and a 10-minute walk to the Trevi Fountain. All rooms were fully renovated in January 2020 and designed by acclaimed interior designer Tomás Alía, whose palette runs from bold colours to soft pastels with an emphasis on contemporary warmth. The Barberini Metro stop is just 450 metres away, so getting around is genuinely easy.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Deluxe Double or Twin Room
The top room category at Filippo proper. A bit more space and, on select units, a private terrace where you can have that morning espresso in the open air. Refined designer colour palette with the same Tomás Alía DNA throughout.
Double or Twin · 23 sqm
Executive Double Room
The entry-level room. Compact but well-appointed with all the Tomás Alía–designed touches: soundproof windows, blackout curtains, espresso machine, minibar, and a walk-in shower with quality toiletries. Some have street views.
Double
Superior Double or Twin Room
Step up from the Executive in size and finish. Still compact by international standards at around 20–23 sqm, but the contemporary design and quality bedding make it feel more spacious than the numbers suggest. City views on most.

One of the hotel's most talked-about features. Views over the Rome roofline — guests use it for a drink or simply to take in the city at dusk. No pool. Just good views and a bit of breathing room above the streets.
