In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Close to Vatican sights — Situated on Viale Giulio Cesare, the guest house is 450 metres from Stanze di Raffaello. Reviewers mention the Vatican Museum and Vatican City as a short walk away, and one notes the metro is about three minutes on foot.
  • Personal service in a small property — With six rooms, the property lends itself to a hands-on stay. Reviews refer to personalised service, a fast check-in and staff who were accommodating and friendly; the staff score in the rating categories is 8.5.
  • Rooms that are practical and comfortable — The amenity list covers air conditioning, heating, soundproofing, tea and coffee facilities, a flat-screen TV and free toiletries. Several reviewers call out modern rooms, generous bathrooms and useful extras such as a work desk or ironing facilities.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Timed check-in and check-out — Check-in is only possible between 12:30 and 22:00, and check-out is between 09:00 and 10:00. Arrival and departure times need to be planned around these windows.
  • Limited facilities at a six-room property — The amenity list is geared to essentials: no restaurant, gym or wellness facilities are listed. Guests looking for full-hotel services would need to look elsewhere.
  • Value is rated below service and staff — The value category scores 7.9, slightly under the overall 8.2, while staff and service score 8.5 and 8.1. It is not a weak score, but value is not the property's standout.
  • No pets or on-site parking — Pets are not allowed, and no on-site parking is listed. The location is better suited to travellers using public transport, which several reviews highlight.

“The king room was practical for us with our three professional children, and the bed was comfortable. The electric kettle, air conditioning and safe were useful too. The setting was good, close to the metro, and the service felt personal. We were entirely satisfied, and the staff were very pleasant with a good sense of humour.”

8.2Verified guest

“The queen room was cosy, with a spacious bathroom that had all the essentials. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the central location made it easy to get to everything.”

8.2Verified guest

“A pleasant hotel with remarkably accommodating staff. The location was favourable, close to a metro line with good connections to other sights, and right by the Vatican Museum and Stadio Olimpico. For tea or coffee, Novecentotredici nearby is worth a visit.”

8.2Verified guest

“The rooms were good: modern and practically brand-new, with a large bathroom and all necessary facilities. Service was personal, and the staff were outstandingly accommodating and incredibly nice.”

8.2Verified guest

“An affordable guest house in a lively area, a short walk from the city centre. Well positioned near coffee shops and a short walk from the Vatican. Staff were outstandingly accommodating and friendly, and check-in was fast.”
