If you want to be close the the Vatican, this is the place. It is very plain since it is run by the Trinitarians, so don't expect any luxuries but it is very comfortable and clean. The room had a good size.

I was the leader of a group of 25 Canadians in July 2011 and again I booked the Casa for our 8 day stay. Again, I was so impressed with the guesthouse and its staff. It is also so close to St Peter's and close to several restaurants and shops. The prices are ever so reasonable even with the exchange rate. The breakfast is included and it is not just a "continental" breakfast. There is fruit, several cereals, pastries, meats and cheese. The place remains spotlessly clean. The rooms are simple but comfortable. My group thought the Casa was excellent. Carmine and his staff are very friendly and understand English. They are incredibly helpful. As a tour leader I am impressed and will stay again with the Trinitiarian priests who operate the facility. So, group leaders contact the Casa and individuals or families...this place is best value.
The Trinitarian Guesthouse is located just a few minutes walk from St. Peter's Square, a short walk from Trastevere and conveniently located to all major transportation. The Guesthouse is always clean, as it provides daily maid service. The staff is truly amazing, with their helpful attitude and never ending smiles. Carlo, Carmeni, Michele and others are an absolute plus for which money would not be sufficient to match their value. If you're going to room with a group, this is the place to stay!
Great value for the money. Within walking distance to the Vatican and Saint Peters. Rooms are small but have everything you need for your stay in Rome. Great Breakfast and freindly atompshere. Also, one block from public transportation that take you into the City of Rome. Would stay again
My stay at this guesthouse was for nearly two weeks with the main aim of studies in an archive. I came to feel very much at home at this casa, and in the same time being independent and free. The location is really very good, close to everything you need, including communications. The premises are neat and well maintained. Above all the spirit was friendly, but in the same time rather not obtrusive; the attentiveness and nice smiles, especially of Monica and Miguel, were a joy to meet.
