One of the last remaining Italian hotels. Classic, traditional and authentic to the smallest detail. Such a joy to find a hotel true to the Italian culture despite so many others “renovating” and “updating” to the tacky business-modern-minimalist-IKEA image. If this hotel ever compromises their cultural integrity it will be regretful. Hopefully they value timeless over trendy. The only renovation should be to remove the carpet and return to original stone or tile. Everything else should remain untouched.

Close to the Vatican and metro station.

I stayed at this hotel mainly for its excellent location, which is ideal if you’re planning to focus your visit around the Vatican. It’s just a short walk from St. Peter’s Square, making it very convenient for attending Mass, papal audiences, or exploring the area at your own pace. The rooms are spacious, which is a plus in a city like Rome. However, the furniture and decor feel a bit dated, and the hotel would benefit from some renovation. That said, the room was clean and comfortable for sleeping. The breakfast was very good: a nice selection of sweet and savory items, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it’s a practical, well-located option if proximity to the Vatican is your main priority. A good value, as long as you’re not expecting modern luxury.

Nice place to stay, great location, and the breakfast bar was very nice. And they make great cappuccinos!

traditional European furnished hotel, with friendly staff. awesome breakfast.

Wonderful location and just what I needed to relax. The staff was kind and remembered it was my birthday during my stay, very thoughtful.

This hotel is in great area within walking distance to fabulous restaurants and the metro. The rooms were clean and well kept and the staff is very friendly. It’s good for the price.

Charming and conveniently located family-run hotel in the Prati district adjacent to Vatican City. Breakfast on rooftop every morning is a great start of each day. The staff is friendly and service oriented. Best feature is the location - <10 minute walk to Ottaviano Metro, Vatican, the Tiber and (15 min) to Piazza Navonne.

The hotel is designed in an antique way, and ut makes it unique. Access is super easy and you are 5 minutes walk to Vatican!! I would recommend staying there.

Older hotel in the middle of it all. Walkable to the Vatican and many many other things to see and do. Plenty of food and drink options around this place. They have a really nice rooftop area for the breakfast crowd or to hang out.

Great price for the room.

The breakfast terrace

I have stayed here before. I love the location to Vatican City. I find it easy to walk to many sites. Buses are close by. The staff is very friendly. Ron, at the desk when we arrived, had a great sense of humor and was very helpful. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast. They do make eggs to order if you ask. They offered us a cream filled croissant or chocolate filled each day.

Great location and friendly staff

An ok hotel but the entrance is too small. You have to climb a few steps to get to a tiny elevator. You have to surrender your key each time you get out & has to be buzz in each time to enter the building… Guest desk is ok & they offer a tasty breakfast for free. The location is a 10 min walk to the Vatican but at least a 30 min or more to other point of interest. Shops & restaurants are closeby the hotel.

Nice staff, the property needs an upgrade. Good location.

Good location for Rome. Property is old fashion on their style, they have to upgrade the key system and let the guests free to get in and out with key for instance. Breakfast was limited. The smell in the corridors and rooms is too strong. Check out time is 10:30am - quite early indeed. The room layout can be rearranged with a tv in the wall for example. A revamp to the hotel for the location is worth it.

The property positives included being right next to the gates of the Vatican City. There was a wonderful restaurant right next door called Zarzar. The breakfast was the best we’ve had provided by a Hotel and all of Italy. It was very very good. The room was small. Was not clean very well when we asked it to be. Staff is a little odd. The night person or early in the morning person looks like you just got out of bed. I was going to college classes.

Very cool spot. Stayed only 1 night. Helpful staff and convenient location for checking out the city.
