Great price and stay for the busy area
It is like an apartment building with a receptionist on each floor who buzzes you in. The Filipina ladies are nice. The room is clean. Probably needs new beds considering the heavy traffic for the Vatican all year long. We parked at a paid garage down the street. The room was reasonably priced.

This is a very nice small hotel, which is about 4-5 min walk from the Vatican. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As you can imagine there are plenty of places to eat nearby given how close it is to the Vatican.
The rooms are very typical size for Europe, so do not expect Marriott size rooms. The rooms are clean and have good A/C. We had a queen and twin, so it was tight, but manageable .
The breakfast was typical European continental, no one in our group complained.
I recommend it for a 3-4 night stay.

Call when you arrive!
The hotel is safe and clean. Very recent updates. Staff is very helpful. Call when you arrive to the address that your map brings you to b/c the hotel is the 2/3rd floor of a multi-use building, there is no sign and the doors are locked. It took us an hour to figure it out. Once we got there, it was great.

The staff were amazing, went above and beyond every step of the way. This location is perfect for vatican tours and is a 30 min walk to the other popular sites around Rome. Could not be happier with this place. The owner even personally helped us with printing documents and preparing for the second part of our trip.

This property is located on a tiny street. Our taxi dropped us off across the intersection and we needed to ask for directions. Once inside it is clean and charming. The room was very small but it had a nice balcony which we sat on to enjoy some of the old architecture in the area. We also enjoyed the bottle of wine that was provided. Delicious. and the bathroom was beautiful. The bed was comfortable but about 12 inches from the wall on my side. The continental breakfast had some delicious pastries and cake. Espresso and cappuccino machine. Orange juice, milk and cereal and yogurt and cold meats and cheeses. Would stay here again
