“Nice clean hotel, friendly staff, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Nice 5 minute walk away from the Vatican. Hotel is initially hard to spot as its not at street level, its behind a large gate that you must be buzzed into. Look for a sign on the opposite side of the road that points right at it.

Hotel itself is spotless, recently refurbished. Air conditioning works brilliantly. So nice to come back to a chilly room after a day in 30 degree heat. Beds are very comfortable. No ensuite rooms. Showers have powerful piping hot water.
Breakfast area is basically the reception area of the hotel! No buffet. Only about 6 tables. If all guests arrive at the same time in the morning there is quite a crush. Breakfast consists of pastries, OJ, Tea/Coffee. Friendly man at the desk has just enough english to compensate for people with absolutely no Italian.

“Roomy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2009

Me and my husband travel to Rome from Milan with our friend and her partner to celebrate New Year. Given the busy holiday season in Europe and considering we will be in Rome for New Year eve, finding this hotel is such a relief..we booked a quattro room which we found to be very small (maybe its the standard in europe) for 185 euro per nite, but then again Rome has the most expensive rate when it came to accomodation. Its a short walking distance to Vatican city, but there were really no clue or whatsoever on how to get to the Vatican from the hotel, as our free map didn't cover this area :')

The hotel occupied only the 3rd floor of a building, maybe its common in Europe (?) the elevator so small it couldnt fit the four of us with a luggage, but later I found out that this is what they have in most apartment/flat in Italy.

Overall, I would say this hotel would be good for people on pilgrimage to Vatican city but not for city explorer.

“wonderful staff, great rooms for an amazing price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2009

Stayed at this Hotel for a school trip, for over 1 week.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
The location of this hotel is wonderful.. only a 5 minute walk to vatican city.
The rooms were always kept clean and had lovely interiors, comfortable beds and a local convienience store is located about 2 buildings down which was quite handy.
I would def stay here again!

“Average hotel in a good Vatican location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2008

I booked this hotel through an agency that uses it a lot. We were two parties, one of two people, one of two adults and a child.

The hotel has no on site parking-which is normal for Rome. I expected to be sent to a garage, but since we arrived on a Sunday, all of the local garages were closed for most of the day. I eventually found a place on the street nearby and spent two days worrying about it. But it turned out to be fine.

There is a bus stop right outside the hotel and several places to buy tickets are nearby. But none are open on Sunday either.

The triple room was large enough for the three of us with luggage, but the double was pretty tight. The rooms were clean and the plumbing was better than at other hotels I have stayed at in Rome.

Breakfast was subpar for this price, but was not bad. The nearby restaurant was expensive and not very good. But others sitting there seemed to enjoy it so maybe that was just us. We ate there once and went elsewhere after that and enjoyed that far more.

The air conditioning worked great and the rooms were quite. It is a 15 minute walk to the Vatican from here and you can catch a cab from the main street, but no cab in town had ever heard of this hotel so coming back from downtown was a problem every time we tried it. Get an address and mark it on the map before you leave the hotel, or have them drop you off at the Vatican and walk.

The hotel would only accept payment in cash. There is an ATM around the corner, but we had limits on how much we could take out a day and this was a problem. Good thing we brought extra cash for emergencies.

Rome is expensive. I know that and don't have high expectations of any hotel inside the city. For 160 Euros for a triple, we got straight up average rooms and average meals. I have no complaints and would not talk anyone out of going here, but neither would I be quick to send anyone here.

  • Liked — Location to Vatican
  • Disliked — Pretty expensive for what you got.

“Great service, close to vatican, very friendly ”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2006

I stayed with a group on a pilgramage to Rome and this hotel was great! Very close to to the Vatican, within walking distance. Close to restaraunts and shopping. ATM machine right around the corner. The service was excellent, I had a medical emergency and they got me to the right place and were very kind and concerned. Each person I encountered working there was very friendly, spoke enough English that we could communicate and went beyond the normal service of a hotel to make sure that our every need was met. Rooms were clean and water pressure was excellent, always enough hot water. Always felt safe, even when walking by myself. I would definitely recommend staying here and say that the service here was far greater than any 5 star hotel that I have ever stayed in. If you are looking for something close to the Vatican this is a great place to stay.
