Guest Reviews
- Pedro (10/5): -
- Irene (10/5): Coccole serenità e perfezione - Eleganza e tradizione…. In tutto e per tutto. Posizione affacciata su San Pietro… un terrazzo che regala un meraviglioso spettacolo che riempie cuore occhi e anima. Pulizia impeccabile. Lo staff è eccezionale, cortesia e soprattutto tanta attenzione e cura verso il proprio ospite. Un buongiorno eccezionale. Da ritornarci sia per la struttura, per la posizione ma anche per il personale. Complimenti a tutto.

- Urban (10/5): Beautiful! - The location was ideal for us. Terrace overlooking St. Peter’s was wonderful and the perfect spot to unwind in the evening with a cocktail. The staff could not have been nicer. Absolutely lovely stay and we will definitely return.
- Lili (9/5): - Location is great! The staff are attentive. The room is really clean.
- Michael (10/5): A wonderful place to stay if you are visiting the Vatican - Close to St. Peter’s Clean, Comfortable, Good Breakfast, Wonderful Staff No City Tax (Vatican) None
- IHrib (10/5): - Vse
- daniela (9/5): Прекрасно място на ТОП локация и страхотно отношение - Фантастична локация,стига се лесно до всички забележителности ,буквално до Базиликата .Хигиената в хотела беше на ниво ,всеки ден почистваха старателно стаята ни.Персоналът много усмихнат и приветлив . Бяхме предварително информирани ,че стаята ни е малка и това е единственото,което мога да кажа ,че не ни допадна съвсем
- robert (8/5): Absolutely stunning location overlooking the Vatican, beautiful hotel excellent staff! - Beautiful location in the heart of the Vatican. The scrambled egg for breakfast was always overcooked
- Natalia (9/5): -
- Carmen (9/5): - Poziția, in Vatican, lângă Basilica San Pietro, terasa liniștită cu o vedere superbă, personalul foarte amabil si atent. Camera destul de mica, lipsa bideului, micul dejun banal.
- Marcin (9/5): Nastrojowy hotel, genialna lokalizacja, przemiła obsługa i... łazienka poniżej oczekiwań - Residenza Paolo VI to absolutnie wyjątkowe miejsce. Hotel jest zlokalizowany w historycznym budynku, z którego wychodzi się prosto na plac św. Piotra. Sam hotel zajmuje dwa (wliczając salę śniadaniową nawet trzy piętra) w budynku, to oznacza, że przed wejściem trzeba skorzystać z domofonu i windy, ale recepcja jest czynna 24 godziny na dobę. Śniadania też są dobre, ale na największe wyróżnienie zasługuje obsługa. Wszyscy byli bardzo życzliwi, uśmiechnięci i bardzo pomocni. Hotel jest elegancki i ma swój unikalny klimat związany z Watykanem. Lokalizacja to też jest strzał w dziesiątkę w Rzymie, bo sam Watykan rano i wieczorem jest spokojny i jest dobrym miejscem wypadowym zarówno do najbardziej znanych atrakcji (nie mówiąc o samym Watykanie), jak i np. na piękne Zatybrze. Ceną za tak doskonałą i nastrojową lokalizację jest wygoda. O ile mały pokój nam nie przeszkadzał, to trzeba zaznaczyć, że łazienka wypadła słabo. Nie była zbyt wygodna, trudno ustawiało się temperaturę w prysznicu, mieliśmy też problem ze spłuczką, ale został dość szybko usunięty.

- Carole (3/5): L'emplacement est la seule qualité de cet établissement, le client est peu consideré - LE PERSONNEL TRES ACCUEILLANT Les fenêtres sont à 2 mètres de hauteur ! La terrasse n'est pas accessible lors de réceptions privées la salle de bain est infecte (joints noirs, douche à réparer, hygiène approximative, infection de moustiques ...) prix excessif !!! Le paiement est réalisé d'avance : aucune possibilité de changer d'hôtel dans ce cas !
- John (9/5): -
- Karsten (9/5): DAS "Vatikan-Hotel" :-) - Das Hotel ist etwas besonderes. Direkt am Vatikan gelegen, einige Quellen schreiben sogar, es wäre auf dem Gelände des Vatikan bzw. diesem zugehörig - ich weiß nicht, ob das stimmt. Es handelt sich um ein ehemaliges Kloster. Das merkt man an der Größe der Zimmer (recht klein gehalten) und auch an der eher spartanischen Ausstattung. Aber das stört hier nicht, sondern passt sehr gut zu dem Gesamtbild. Das Personal ist richtig nett, zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit. Toll! Auch das Frühstück mit SEHR leckerem, frischem Kaffee ist richtig gut - wahrscheinlich besser als damals im Kloster ;-) Ein nicht ganz günstiger Trip, aber für uns allein schon wegen der wunderbaren Terrasse mit Blick auf den Petersplatz ein Highlight. Einfach mal gönnen!

- mark (9/5): -
- Alphonsa (8/5): This is a perfect hotel if you want to stay within the Premises of Vatican. Best one if you are in Vatican for pope’s au - The property is literally so close to St Peter’s basilica with exceptional view of the basilica and St Peter’s Square. Lots of places to eat and shopping around. The air conditioning and the shower drains had issues. However the hotel staffs provided a pedal fan as a backup - not a standard that would expect from a 4 star hotel.
- Joy (8/5): Perfect for a visit to the Vatican - We need a room for 1 night prior to flying back home. We wanted to stay near the Vatican so we could see the Basilica the day before we left. It was perfect. Nice rooftop with views of the Basilica. Hotel had breakfast that was very good. We were there during Holy Week and actually saw the Pope the morning we left during mass. It was truly a blessing and a wonderful surprise. We got a basic room- the bathroom was small and the room was very simple.

- Stefanie (8/5): - Die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf die Kuppel des Petersdoms ist ein Traum. Personal sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich! Zimmer einwandfrei sauber. Lage des Hotels ist top. Leider wird die Dachterrasse auch mal abends und vormittags für Veranstaltungen genutzt und steht dann den Hotelgästen nicht zur Verfügung.
- Leon (9/5): Wonderful - Breakfast and proximity to Vatican City

- Rudolph Anthony (10/5): Exerlent - The room was maintained to a high standard I couldn’t complain about anything. The was helpful the bar staff a wonderful woman who name I forgot she looked after me every time i was go into the restaurant.with a smile and a warm pat asking if i was ok.Reminding me that i was drink water because it was very hot. Found the Brakefast staff very helpful willing to serve and if you didn’t understand they would make an effort to help you with finding what you wanted to eat.What a great start to the day,Everything was fresh the restaurant was clean and airy. I like the touches of getting the bible scriptures every morning posted to your room. That I couldn’t Stay longer this visit
- Daniela (9/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Eleganza sobria - Terrazza eccezionale Tipo di Asciugacapelli da sostituire
- Thomas (9/5): Top Lage, extrem freundliches Personal. Absolut Empfehlung. - Sehr gute Lage, extrem freundliches Personal und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer und das Bad war tipptopp gereinigt worden. Die Zimmer wirken etwas schlicht und das Bad ist klein und abgewohnt.

- Pelin (9/5): Elite, chic and safe. - - Location was great one step away from Vatikan, felt very safe during our stay. There was always reseptionest 7/24 and all were very kind. Building is quite elegant and historical. Terrace was super and breakfast is high quality in a cute and elite room. I definitely recommend dor a elite and safe stay. Bathroom was small but not a big problem. There were ants in the shower cabin not a problem for me but they die everytime when we shower.
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Ann-christin (10/5): - Underbar och va ckerr terrass med fantastisk utsikt över Vatikanen. Mycket vCker frukost rom med god frukost.
- Thomas (5/5): - Eine einfache Unterkunft zu sehr hohen Preisen.
- John (9/5): We absolutely loved our stay. - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not just helpful because it is their job, but genuinely happy to be helpful. The AC wasn’t turned on so the room became stuffy in the afternoon and hot for sleeping at night. But this was really just a minor thing. I only mention it because the question wants something.

- Silvia (10/5): Un piacevole soggiorno in Vaticano - La posizione è ottima, immediatamente dietro il colonnato del Bernini. Dispone di una bellissima terrazza, con servizio bar e ristorante che sono molto comodi qualora si voglia riposare un po' la sera. La camera era molto spaziosa con letti confortevoli, inoltre molto silenziosa nonostante sia in una posizione centrale.L'atmosfera è molto confortevole e rilassante, carino che facciano trovare il vangelo del giorno sotto la porta e piacevole la sorpresa in camera per Pasqua. Vorrei ringraziare il personale, in particolare le ragazze della colazione, per le squisite e affettuose attenzioni delle quali ci hanno beato. Volendo trovare i difetti, il bagno della stanza è abbastanza sacrificato, come spesso accade negli hotel, ma fornito comunque di tutti gli optional. Le finestre sono molto in alto, scomode da aprire e chiudere, ma la camera risulta comunque luminosa.
- juan Manuel (10/5): -
- Frieder (8/5): A great place to stay in Rome - Extremely friendly and helpful service, great breakfast, perfect views from the terrazza, a great place to stay in vatican city The beds, i.e., the mattresses, could be more comfortable and more modern (e.g., box-spring)

- IWriteNovels (6/5): One Incident Cost this Review Stars - First, the positive: this hotel, a former monastery, is in a great location, right next to St. Peter’s Square. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. Bathroom was spacious, with toilet, sink, bidet, and shower (shower seat, too, in case you need it). There is some noise if your room is in the street, as ours was. The outside terrace lives up to its reputation online and in photos. We spent time there every night, sometimes just for drinks, a couple of times for dinner. If Francesca is working, lucky you! She’s wonderful. You also can access the area for the Pope’s Sunday Angelus. This would have been a 5-star review across the board, but a very unpleasant experience occurred the morning we departed. The hotel offers transportation between the Rome airport and the hotel, advertised on their website. I had requested, by message to the hotel, a car service on the day we arrived, 19 March, from the airport to the hotel. I knew the price was €85 and accepted that. Our driver, Roberto, was cheery and helpful. He dropped us at the hotel. He never asked us for money, because we’d pay the cost of the trip to the hotel. Upon check-in, I produced my credit card. On 24 March, the day before we were leaving, I asked the young woman at the desk to book us transportation to the airport on the morning of 25 March. She took care of it. Before we checked out, the man at the desk said we had to pay for the shuttle service. Again, I produced my credit card and was charged. Fine. We took our bags down to the street and met Claudio, our driver. When Claudio dropped us off at the airport, he demanded payment of €85. I told him I had just paid at the hotel. He grew belligerent and demanded we pay. I had to call the hotel, and the same man was rude, insulting, and impatient, implying that I was stupid. So the charge was for the shuttle service a week prior? Okay, I was humiliated. I never intended to not pay. So I handed my credit card to the driver, Claudio. Nope, he wouldn’t accept it. Cash only, he said. I used my card EVERYWHERE in Rome, and he wouldn’t take it. As an American about to leave Europe, I had few Euros on me. And I don’t use an ATM while out of the country. Luckily, I had two €50s, one €10, and two €5 notes. I handed the two 50s to Claudio and he made a big show about my not having the correct amount, then rummaged around in his vehicle and dropped coins into my hand - one-euro and 50-cent coins that added up to €10. So actually, he ripped ME off. But here’s the issue: if the transportation is a hotel-offered service, it should be up to the hotel to handle it properly. This was handled very poorly.
- Martha (4/5): One Incident Cost this Review Stars - Great location, right next to St. Peter’s Square. The simple room is spacious and clean, and the housekeeping staff was excellent. The outside terrasse lives up to all the wonderful photos and reviews. We spent time there every night, sometimes just for drinks, a couple of nights for drinks and dinner. Francesca is a gem - friendly and efficient. The evenings she was off were definitely not the same. This would have been a 5-star review across the board, but a very unpleasant incident occurred the morning we departed. The hotel offers transportation between the Rome airport and the hotel. I had requested, by message to the hotel, a car service on the day we arrived, 19 March. I knew the price was €85 and accepted that. We had a wonderful driver, Roberto, the morning we arrived. He drove us to the hotel and that was that. The charge would be paid by us to the hotel, because this was a hotel-offered service. I presented my credit card upon check-in. On the day before we left Rome, 24 March, I asked the young woman at the desk to reserve transportation for us from the hotel to the airport on 25 March. A car would arrive for us early in the morning. Before we left, the man at the desk asked us to pay the €85 charge. Of course! We naturally assumed this was to pay for the trip about to happen. Any logical person would think this. We used our credit card to pay and met Claudio on the street. But, when Claudio dropped us off at the airport, he demanded payment of €85. I explained that we had just paid at the hotel. He grew belligerent and demanded we pay. I had to call the hotel, and the man at the hotel was rude, insulting, and impatient, saying that what I paid for was the transportation from 19 March. I was humiliated. Of course I wasn’t trying to stiff Claudio, so I took out my credit card to pay him. He refused my card and said cash only. Who doesn’t accept a credit card?? As an American about to leave Europe, I didn’t have many Euros on me (most people wouldn’t). I had two 50s, one 10, and two 5s. So I gave Claudio the two 50s (€100) and he made a big show about my not having the correct amount. He handed me €10 in coins - €1 coins and 50-cent coins. He shrugged and said that was all he had. So, in the end, he ripped ME off. Why didn’t the man in the hotel let me know that I was paying for a trip from a week prior?

Su ubicación es inmejorable, justo frente a la Ciudad del Vaticano, con vistas únicas que permiten apreciar incluso el interior desde allí. La atención del personal es destacable: amables, atentos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar. La calidad del lugar, el ambiente y cada detalle hacen que la estadía sea sumamente confortable. Sin dudas, es un lugar al que dan ganas de volver. Totalmente recomendable Nada.

- František (9/5): - Neuvěřitelná jedinečná poloha hotelu. Bylo úžasné přejít jen jednu nefrekventovanou ulici a být na Sv.Petrském náměstí. Výhoda, pro všechny kdo chtějí trávit více času ve Vatikánu bez front.
- Thorsten (9/5): Außergewöhnliche gutes Haus direkt am Vatikan. - Super Unterkunft direkt am Vatikan. Schon beim Eintreffen merkt man die kirchliche Grundlage des Hauses, was es sehr besonders macht. Das Restaurant und Bar auf der Dachterasse ist absolut außergewöhnlich. Danke an die Mitarbeiter/innen, die so herzlich und sympathisch waren. Ich komme wieder - das Haus ist für mich top.

- davidjT9693OG (10/5): March City Break in Rome 2026 - We stayed at the Residenzia Paolo VI whilst enjoying a city break in Rome for the first time. We wanted a hotel which offered a peaceful and relaxing oasis outside of the centre of the city each evening. The Paolo VI is a uniquely placed hotel, situated right on the perimeter of St Peter's Basilica and it is simply wonderful. The terrace restaurant and bar on the fourth floor looks directly on to St Peter's and the view is priceless. We stayed in a room on the third floor (Nobile wing) in early March overlooking the courtyard, which was perfect. The breakfast (5th floor) had a great range of options and service was excellent. The Terrace bar and restaurant really was excellent and very high praise for Francesca, who provided first class service and hospitality without exception. We had dinner and drinks two evenings at the hotel and the food and service were faultless. The hotel is a five minute walk from the busy Borgo Pio where restaurants and bars create a great buzz during the day and evening. (Try ARLU restaurant at the Vatican end of the Pio, if you can). You can walk over the Tiber and be in Central Rome in 25 minutes. Overall, Paolo VI is a uniquely eclectic small hotel with the feel of a boutique house-style, flavoured by its proximity to the Vatican with a stunning view over St Peters. Stretch to the best room your budget allows. Easy access to the city and a wonderful oasis of calm in the evening. Five stars from us!
- Julio Cesar (10/5): Extraordinaria !!! - Está maravillosamente bien ubicado, buen desayuno incluido, un restaurant para cenar con vista muy hermosa, el personal muy amable y correcto, es un hotel para descansar, disfrutar el Vaticano en cada detalle, el mismo hotel da los pases gratis a la audiencia papal de los miércoles. Realmente un hotel muy bonito y cómodo. Excelente atención de todos los empleados y funcionarios del hotel, especial reconocimiento para Alexander a cargo del restaurant por la noche. Todo me gustó mucho.
