Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was quite spacious to fit our family, consisting of a short hallway, small bedroom with twin, weirdly configured larger room with double, and a single bed in the eating area outside the kitchen. However, the roof terrace was not open and the space felt a bit small.
Staying at this hotel right outside the Vatican walls was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit oddly configured but clean, and the service was welcoming, although one staff member seemed to be having a rough day. The location is excellent for visiting the Vatican City, but there were concerns about the uphill walk back to the hotel. The dining options were somewhat lacking in freshness and variety.
Upon arrival, the hotel seemed somewhat crowded, and I felt everyone's eyes were on me as I made my way to the room. The layout was a bit peculiar, with a short hallway leading to a small bedroom with twin beds and a larger room that was oddly configured with a double bed. Surprisingly, there was even a single bed in the eating area outside the kitchen. The stay had its ups and downs, offering a quiet location near Vatican City but with some discomfort in the room setup.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mix. On the positive side, the room I got wasn't exactly what I thought I'd booked, and there was no refrigerator included. However, the staff was helpful and offered us a room with a small kitchen and a working fridge, which turned out to be quite handy for storing our snacks and drinks.
I had a great time at the hotel. The rooms were perfect for a family stay, with a good size and a fantastic rooftop terrace that was ideal for enjoying evening cocktails. The service went above and beyond, especially after our car incident in Rome. The location was brilliant, allowing for easy exploration and relaxing after a busy day. The dining experience was decent, offering a good selection of pastries each morning. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor issues to note.
The apartment hotel offers a relaxing stay with clean rooms and good service, though an upgrade is needed. The location is superb, close to St Peter's Square but on a hill. The service was really helpful and pleasant, even in unexpected situations. The dining experience was okay but could be improved. Overall, a peaceful neighborhood near Vatican City with friendly staff.
The hotel's location is very close to the Vatican, making it convenient for sightseeing. The rooms were cleaned daily but were not as described upon arrival, which was a bit frustrating. The service was friendly but lacked amenities like air conditioning in October. The dining experience was just adequate for the price, offering mainly cakes and pastries. The hotel has excellent three-bedroom suites for larger groups.
The hotel is in a peaceful street right next to Vatican City, making it great for a visit to the Vatican. The rooms are spacious but show signs of damp and have inadequate self-catering facilities. The service was a mix of rude behavior and extremely helpful gestures, especially when we faced car damage. The dining options were limited to sweet items, and the facilities were decent.
The hotel had a lingering smell of tobacco smoke in the rooms, but they were small yet very versatile and perfect for us. Unfortunately, we were not offered a refrigerator. The service was brilliant and very welcoming, located in a nice calmer spot near Vatican City. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful, arranging our transport back to the airport, a vital service considering the taxi situation in Rome. The location was fantastic, with easy walking access to the train station and all attractions. Unfortunately, on complaining about no heat, the night man was abusive, leaving us feeling scared and vulnerable. The dining experience was not very fresh, with limited breakfast options, and the time for breakfast left much to be desired. However, fresh sandwiches were available. Overall, the facilities were just okay.
The hotel was exactly what we needed for our 3-night stay, offering clean rooms but with a shower lacking temperature control, resulting in cold water when adjusting the tap. There was a lingering smell of tobacco smoke, which was not ideal, but overall, it was a nice stay.
