Room was just what I needed for a 4 night solo trip, it was my birthday when i arrived and there were ballons on the bed and a bottle of fizz waiting for me, nice touch! The room was nice and clean ( was cleaned every day) Lovely rooftop setting for breakfast with views of St Peters dome. The Gallo roof terrace was also great for a drink at night, again with great views. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. There are bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk and a supermarket that is open 7am-9pm 2 mins down the road. I walked to the vatican city but for other places I used the freenow app for a taxi wich came in minutes every time. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Lovely busy few days in Rome”

The hotel is in a good location near St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican. It is situated on a hill but it is not very far to walk up. There is a bus nearby (916) that takes you across the river to the centre of Rome (Piazza Venezia) for only 3 euros return. The traffic is horrendous so allow plenty of time if you have a tour booked at the Colosseum. The nearest metro is 30 mins walk near the Vatican museums. The staff at the hotel were friendly and very helpful with maps and transport etc. It is also very easy to get to/from the airport and is only 8 euros one way whereas a taxi is a fixed price of 50 euros one way from the airport. Roma San Pietro station is at the bottom of the hill (need to change at Roma Trastevere). Takes about 45 mins. The hotel has a lovely rooftop bar with a view of St Peter's Basilica serving wine and cocktails. The food menu is very limited and although I didn't eat there, I saw the food and it did not look anything special and was expensive for what it was. One guest commented that his 7 year old granddaughter could have produced better food. The breakfast room was lovely and the continental breakfast was good and the staff very friendly and helpful. We had a basement room which had signs of damp as the wallpaper was coming off the walls. Also there had been a leak in the bathroom as the bottom of the back of the door was rotten. The shower gel dispenser was broken and had not been replaced. These faults did not impact my stay as I was only in the room to sleep but it really lets the hotel down - not bothering to fix things and redecorate. I would have communicated this to the reception staff but on check out no one asked if I had enjoyed my stay or encountered any issues. The rooms were clean and I did not encounter noisy plumbing issues as mentioned by other guests although there was a smell of drains in the bathroom which was quite unpleasant. Rome is a very busy and crowded city and the quieter months are apparently March and April. I recommend that your pre book any tours in order to avoid long queues and disappointment. I used getyourguide.com and the tours were good. There do not appear to be any public toilets in Rome so you need to go for a drink or food at a restaurant. At lunchtimes, restaurants will expect you to order lunch and not just drinks and snacks but there are bars as well. Walk a few minutes away from the main squares and tourist attractions for better food and better value.

“Rome in four days”

Hotel clean and staff friendly, Room was nice and cleaned every day. Only bad thing was you could hear next door going to the toilet or having a shower! Not a bad thing just alittle noisy! Good location- very near the Vatican- we walked everywhere else so very comfy shoes is a must!

“Lovely hotel near St Peters”

The hotel was exceptionally clean, rooms very big, transport to and from the centre of Rome is plentiful and the staff are lovely, extremely helpful and very cheerful. Breakfast was good, plenty of choices of cakes, pastries, cold meats, tea, coffee, juice and the breakfast room is lovely with a view over St Peters. Downside is the plumbing in this hotel, hence not giving 5 stars. You hear everyone either running a bath, going to the toilet and this is annoying throughout the night. The walls are exceptionally thin so you do hear conversations and if you are a light sleeper, this won't be the hotel for you. It is such a shame as the hotel itself is lovely. There are some really good restaurants near the hotel as well, so getting something to eat is easy.
