According to their website The golden Tulip Ripa is about 0.8 km from St. Peter Basilica and the Vatican and 1 km
from the Colosseum/Roman Forum. Looks like a beautiful hotel.

The hotel is located in the Trastevere quarter (Via Orti di Trastevere), some 800mts south of the fine Piazza and Basilica Sta. Maria in Trastevere, outside Trastevere walls. Personally I like Trastevere, a residential quarter, very much. In the evenings/night it's my preferred in Rome. I'd prefer to stay closer to Piazza Sta. Maria in Trastevere, though.

Anyway, except possibly for a stroll through the Tiber Island, Bocca della Verità and Ghetto to Campo de' Fiori (some 2,5 km), you'll hardly be able to walk to other sites. Bus #3 may take you from the hotel to the Colosseum in about 15-20 minutes. Bus #8 takes you to Largo Argentina and you may take it from there to many sites. To the Vatican it's about 2.5km uninteresting walking ... bus #8 above and bus #62 from Largo Argentina would be an option. Another one would be to step off bus #8 after crossing the Tiber at Ponte Garibaldi and take bus #23 thereafter.

Paulo--- their website state they are closer than that. Personally, I would go with your assessment ( you DO know Rome!). However, how could their estimate differ so much from yours?

If the address in their site is the actual location ... then they're lying, Maira

Now, there's a (unfortunately minor) possibility that this is the address of their office and that they have more than a single unit in Trastevere. The given address is also the address of 4-star Ripa Residence All Units (whatever this means).
