“Good enough to stay again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

Good points:
1) situated not too far from Vatican, so you can manage to go there by walking
2) close to metro (underground) station
3) daily market of fresh fruits & vegetables on pavement
4) nice helping staff
5) renovated rooms interior
Bad points:
1) far from historic center of Rome
2) breakfast is composed of a hot drink, a juice (small can) and some factory-made jam or honey
3) sattelite TV not working correctly
4) there are no elevators and you should take your baggage upstairs with you

“Excellent value and nice room for a fantastic location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011

We arrived around lunchtime and had no problem finding the apartment block door & buzzer on Via Andrea Doria, as all the doors/houses are numbered. Although we had to move to the 2nd apartment block on Viale Giulio Cesare (about a 5min walk with luggage), it's actually a great spot right next to a subway stop and sooo close to the Vatican City + Museum. We were very happy.

The rooms look recently renovated, are modern, quiet and comfortable, but small. The air conditioning works a treat in the small space! Very good! Sky tv channels with many English channels to choose from was also a nice bonus!

The breakfast is just a pastry, coffee and glass of juice (served in the cafe downstairs)... But this is what they all eat in Italy, France, and much of Europe, so for them it's normal (for us, not so much). Luckily there are plently of little shops, supermarkets, and restaurants close by if you want to buy additional or alternative breakfast items.

We found our apartment block was very conveniently located and great value for money.

“Its clean but not a hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010

It's not a real hotel.The rooms are inside an apartment in a private building. You have to carry 4-5 keys with you for all the doors. There isnt even a hotel sign on the outside. (they do issue receipts)

The breakfast is to be taken at a bar nearby and its quite poor (cofee + orange juice and maybe a small pie)

There's no real reception but they are there if you call from within the hotel (we never had to wait more than 5 minutes).

Rooms were small, just for two persons (you can barely walk), but VERY clean and look new. Free wifi with very good speed in the room.

I have spent nights to much worse hotels... The place despite all was clean and very close to metro stations.

“its really not a hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2009

person found this review helpful

The Vatican Holiday is collection of condos maintained and operated by the Vatican Holiday Group. Because of this, your experience there is unpredictable. The rooms are clean and the price is great, so if you do decide to go get the telephone number of a contact person. There is no single check-in area. This can be rather confusing and frustrating after navigating the streets of Rome for hours. Because you will be in a condo, you may be staying in a building a few blocks away from the main section - also rather frustrating.
