Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located near the Vatican and the old city, offering easy access to key attractions. The rooms are small but equipped with necessary amenities, though cleanliness could be improved. The staff's service is friendly and helpful, with some initial hiccups overcome swiftly. The dining experience is good but comes at a higher price. The location provides a mix of access to fun areas and proximity to transportation hubs, despite being slightly distant from the city center.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were big, spacious, and very private, although the carpet floor wasn't very clean. The service was amazing with a very nice and welcoming staff. The location is perfect for visiting the Vatican or Ancient Rome, being nice and quiet near the Vatican but not super close to the center of Rome. The dining experience was brilliant, and the facilities were top-notch.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms, though smaller than expected for a 4-star hotel, were very comfortable, despite the absence of slippers and bathrobes. The service, while staff may have seemed busy, was amazing and the unique location near the metro was exactly what I needed. The location was very convenient for arriving by car, with great parking facilities, although it was a bit unhygienic in some areas. The dining was okay, albeit expensive, but the variety offered at breakfast was standard. Overall, a mixed experience with some excellent highlights and a few disappointments.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were very comfortable despite not being as clean as expected, especially the carpet floor. However, I was a bit disappointed that there were no slippers or bathrobe provided, considering it is a 4-star hotel. The service was nice and welcoming, although at times it seemed that the staff was quite busy. The location, while close to Musei Vaticani and offering convenient parking, was a bit far from the Rome city center and main attractions. The dining experience was good, with a standard variety, and I particularly enjoyed the pool. The facilities were satisfactory, and the hotel offered some useful amenities.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were big, spacious, and very private, with a super comfortable bed. I had a blast playing the football table and arcade games in the room. The service was top-notch, and the unique location offered everything I needed. The dining options were varied, although a bit pricey. The hotel is in a nice and quiet area near the Vatican, but not too close to the center of Rome.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient for those arriving by car with great parking, but slightly out of the center, though close to the Vatican. The rooms, while large, were not as clean as expected, lacking some amenities like slippers and bathrobe. The service was helpful and friendly but seemed understaffed at times. The dining options were standard, with a bit of a high price tag, although offering a good variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
