Location is so convenient. Has everything you need for overnight stay by vatican. Breakfast is simple in small dining room. Love the greenery inside but it does feel kinda stuffy. Valentino was great. We could keep luggage before and after check in. Available crib.

The location was a stone's throw away from the Vatican which was good. It was also very close to Pam, a local grocery which was also good. The rooms were clean. Breakfast was served in a tiny room with a few tables. We were a big group of 11 adults so we couldn't have breakfast together unless some of us stand. There were limited choices but the lady who comes to cook breakfast is very accommodating. She surely does her job well! That, I cannot say about some of the staff at the reception. One particularly stood out to me as cold, unkind and not very helpful. The others at the reception were friendly and helpful, even.

Within walking distance to the Vatican, right on a bus line, with cold air-con, and a comfortable bed.. this hotel is a solid choice. Add in the friendliness of the staff, in particular Oliver, Valentino, and Ella, and we loved the experience. Thanks everyone!

Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly from the minute we arrived till we left. Hotel was easily accessible from the train station, and walking to the Vatican took a few minutes. Hotel facilities were well maintained, and we appreciated having the air conditioner for warmer spring days. Beds were comfortable and housekeeping made sure that everything was clean and tidy each of the days we were there. Absolutely recommend if you're doing a religious visit to the Vatican, or just to Rome in general.
