Great location and really nice property. Very plain room, but clean. Really love the location! Second trip where we stayed here.

Being there was a great experience, the people who work there is so kind.
Jose Armando, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is a hidden gem. Although it is so close to the Vatican once you walk through the main doors you enter a beautiful tranquil garden. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the breakfast is over the top. I would stay at this hotel again and have recommended it to my friends already.
Rosanna, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Palazzo is stunning. The rooms are immaculate with every necessity. Breakfast was fabulous with a lot of variety. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Plus it’s very close to St. Peter’s and all the Baticsn attractions as well as within walking distance of others (if you like to walk and are able). Would definitely stay there again!
TheresaJo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Although rated as a 4-star hotel, there is limited food service available outside the excellent breakfast service. However, location is perfect and the hotel is brimming with character. The staff are excellent, extremely polite, courteous and helpful. Hotel is located a few minutes walk from the Vatican with walking access to other attractions in Rome and only a few minutes walk from the hop-on/hop-off bus route.
Martin, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Although i booked in June 2024 for a May 2025 visit, four days before my arrival they cancelled my reservations and referred my reservation to a hotel a mile further from the Vatican. They could get higher rates from other non - Expedia customers.
Jamey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love this hotel. It’s the second time I’ve stayed here. Location is amazing, right on the doorstep of Saint Peter’s Square. Easy walk to a metro station. There is a lovely little garden in the hotel grounds. Continental breakfast is included and if you’re heading out sightseeing really early they’ll make you up a breakfast bag to take with you. Staff are exceptional, very helpful and friendly. This hotel is a great base for walking (or using the metro) to the many incredible sights of Rome.

Lyxigt vatikan val

Vill man lyxa till det för ett Vatikanbesök, detta är hotellet, ett palats just utanför Vatikanen.
Kent, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location for a great price. I only stayed one night but would stay longer next time I’m in Rome. Very conveniently located. Staff is wonderful. Breakfast was great. Everything is very clean. It’s a really unique place to stay.

10/10 Exceptional

A unique and solid place to stay near the Vatican

This is my favorite place to stay in Rome. Right next to Saint Peter’s Square, clean rooms, very friendly staff, and breakfast is perfect. Also the building is unique and has a beautiful courtyard at the entrance. I also love that they slip the day’s gospel under the door in the morning.
David, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel front door is one block from St Peter's square on a pedestrian street Parrell to two streets of restaurants.
Stephen, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

I left my watch behind and they found it and told me so. Now they are making it impossible for me to recover the Rolex.
Joaquin, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel, probably would have been more suited to someone who appreciates the religious aspects of the area. Bathroom was very small, as I use a wheelchair it wasn't really practical.

Superbe hôtel à Rome, Vatican

Superbe lieu au contact de la place Saint Pierre. Idéalement situé au cœur de la capitale. Nombreux moyens de transport tout autour.
Eric, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Old fashioned well located hotel unfriendly staff

Great location for visit to VATICAN. Unfair treatment - my daughter had an accident with red wine. She felt terrible as the red wine was on the pillow. She mention this directly and helped cleaning. Next day they charged € 50,--. Very unfriendly and inflexible - hej it is red wine, if it was something else!. Hope this feedback wake you up, it costs you probably more than €50!. Price/quality - hotel room we had was old fashioned, breakfast was ok, maybe the German receptionists had a bad day. We have been honest by directly taken responsibility, so we are honest in our feedback.
Arjan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful

This is always a wonderful place to stay when we are in Rome. They helped us to arrange transport from the airport to the hotel even though it was a very busy time. The only thing that is sad is that they have canceled their dinner/cocktail service in the evening.
