Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms that are small but still suitable for solo travelers or small families for a short stay. The service is exceptional with friendly and helpful staff, and the location is perfect for those wanting to explore the Vatican and nearby attractions. The dining experience is impressive with a wide variety of delicious options. However, the rooms are a bit small, and some may find the dining prices a bit high.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the Vatican and its surroundings, with an incredible terrace overlooking St Peter's Square and Basilica. The rooms were just the right size, and the atmosphere was cozy without any unnecessary fees. The dining experience was a delightful mix of Italian and British cuisine, while the service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist me.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the simple elegance of the rooms furnished in bright white and impeccably clean. The location was perfect for exploring the local attractions, just a few steps away from St Peter's Basilica, making it an ideal spot for sightseeing. While the dining experience was somewhat sober, the service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to assist with any questions or needs we had. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on my next visit.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location overlooking St Peter's Square and Basilica, clean and comfy rooms, and very friendly service. However, the rooms were tiny, and the dining options were simple and could be improved.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious, although the hotel is a bit dated and old with a weird entrance and no lobby. The quiet courtyard view was a nice touch.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While its location next to St Peter's Square was fantastic, the room's proximity to the reception area made it noisy at times. The rooms were small, and I later learned that I was in a 'handicapped room. ' Despite the noise and size, the staff was helpful and pleasant.
