- Filip (10/5): -
- Γεωργία (10/5): Ηταν φανταστικά και ότι χρειαζόμασταν ήταν στα πόδια μας! - Η τοποθεσία ήταν φανταστική ,η μόνωση,όλα! Ολα ήταν όμορφα
- Natalia (10/5): - Wszystko zgodnie z opisem.
Dla zainteresowanych - śniadania w pobliskiej kawiarni, typowo rzymskie ;). Brak uwag
- Esmeralda (10/5): - Muy satisfecha y feliz de haberme hospedado en Vatican Steps, el Sr. Giorgio y Elizabeth, excelentes anfitriones, muy atentos y amables, nos ayudaron mucho. La habitación muy bonita, todo limpio y en excelentes condiciones. La ubicación es muy buena, se encuentra muy cerca la estación de metro. Sin duda regresaría a hospedarme aquí.
- Juliano (7/5): -
- Alibek (10/5): Welcoming hosts and their attitude to their guests - Proximity to Vatican -
- MarkWhite85 (10/5): - Tutto perfetto, posizione, pulizia, cortesia di Giorgio nell'accoglienza e nello spiegarci tutto per poter vivere al meglio il nostro soggiorno. Non abbiamo dubbi, la prossima volta a Roma sarà da Vatican Steps!
- Barnabás (9/5): -
- Raul Felipe (9/5): -
- Anastasiia (10/5): A wonderful stay with the most welcoming hosts! - 🇬🇧 We feel very lucky to have stayed in this wonderful place and can confidently say it was the best decision.
The hotel is extremely comfortable, and the hosts are incredibly welcoming. They greeted us warmly, explained everything, and made us feel at home right away.
The location is fantastic- very close to the Vatican, in a მშვიდ and pleasant neighborhood. There are supermarkets nearby, the метро is just a 3-minute walk away, and there is also a bus stop close by. You can even walk to the city center if you like. The location is simply perfect.
We absolutely loved the breakfasts. They were in a classic Italian style, a croissant with coffee or tea. Simple but incredibly delicious. I was looking forward to that morning croissant every day, it was just that good. Breakfast was served in a cozy little café on the corner, where you can experience authentic Italian mornings: locals stopping by for a quick coffee before work. A very charming atmosphere.
The room itself was very clean, warm, and comfortable, with everything arranged thoughtfully. We especially appreciated the coffee machine, tea (which is quite rare in Italy!), and even a fridge in the room.
A special thanks to the hosts for their excellent restaurant recommendations, they helped us a lot, gave great tips, and even provided some discounts.
We wholeheartedly recommend this place and will definitely come back again!
🇺🇦 Нам дуже пощастило зупинитися в цьому чудовому місці, і одразу хочемо сказати- це було найкраще рішення.
Готель дуже комфортний, а господарі неймовірно привітні. Вони тепло нас зустріли, все пояснили та показали.
Район просто чудовий: дуже близько до Ватикану, спокійний і приємний. Поруч є супермаркети, метро буквально за 3 хвилини пішки, також є автобусна зупинка. За бажанням можна навіть дійти пішки до центру. Локація ідеальна.
Сніданки нам дуже сподобалися, в італійському стилі: круасан і кава або чай. Просто, але неймовірно смачно.
- Sharon (6/5): It served my needs for a short trip. - It was close to metro station Very uncomfortable bed, you need to be really exhausted to sleep..
- Steven (8/5): A convenient place to stay with good bathroom facilities. Excellent access to the Metro on Linea A. - We didn't use the breakfast voucher as it wasn't so convenient to have to go out and then come back with the 'breakfast' once you are up and ready to go for the day. Was quite cramped to get around the room.
- Fernando (10/5): Would definitely recommend. I would not rent a car for future reference. - Very friendly host. No parking 😄
- Hangjian (10/5): -
- ANA MARÍA (10/5): - La limpieza y la cercanía al centro y al metro. .
- Tsoutsoulis (7/5): -
- Andrija (9/5): - Nice clean room , good position close to metro station, market , bar and food places. Very hospitable host and personal !!!
- Ana (8/5): - The staff The bed and the fact that you can hear the noise from the other rooms
- Claudio (9/5): B&B in zona Vaticano, buon rapporto qualita' prezzo, vicino alla metro - Buon rapporto qualita' prezzo, vicino alla metro
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Olena (10/5): Дуже затишно та чисто,близько до центру та метро,ввічливий персонал,повернуся ще раз із задоволенням - Отличное расположение, уютный номер,чистота и приветливый персонал
- Gilda (10/5): Ci torneremo la prossima volta a Roma! - Posizione, gentilezza e disponibilità del signor Giorgio. Macchinetta del caffè e the a disposizione.
Anche i gestori del bar dove vien servita la colazione sono particolarmente gentili e amichevoli. Metropolitana a due passi, la pizza di Bonci pure :), Conad sotto casa, zona sicura.
- Fabrizio (10/5): -
- Squire (10/5): Outstanding location to visit the Vatican, and nearby cultural & historical features - The location is excellent as it is within walking distance of the Vatican, the metro at the Cipro station and it allowed us to walk to the Vatican on a Sunday to be part of the Pope's mass. Giorgio was awesome and met us at the apartment to orient us on the property procedures as well as do a room inspection. For someone that wants to explore the Vatican and nearby historical features this was an excellent location. There is a grocery store within 75 feet of the entrance to the apartment and many other stores and restaurants nearby. We tried the restaurant that Giorgio recommended and it was excellent plus we got a discount We can't really evaluate the breakfast as the adjacent cafe that serves that breakfast was supposed to be closed for only one day to do repairs of some kind. It was closed for two days and on the third day we had to leave early to catch a train.
- Paul (10/5): - Very friendly host/staff. A walk to the Vatican, and easy metro connections to elsewhere
- Giaquinto (10/5): 3 giorni a Roma - Stanza accogliente ,pulita, Giorgio molto cordiale e bravissima persona,posizione strategica.
CI ritornero' dinuovo .grazie
- Morgane (8/5): Super nous recommandons ! - Situé proche du métro, Giorgio l’hôte est très agréable et de bons conseils, les équipements sont très bien. Le café est à disposition à l’entrée ce qui est un plus pour notre part !
Concernant le petit déjeuner il se situe à 2 pas de la résidence, la dame est d’une gentillesse, franchement nous recommandons vivement, nous ne sommes pas déçus! Du bruit à plusieurs reprises en plein milieu de la nuit
- Christine (9/5): - Alles bestens :) Gute Kommunikation und freundlicher Empfang, sauber, Metro und Busse super zu erreichen. Typisch italienisches Frühstück in einer Bar nebenan war auch toll ☺️ -
- Alexandre (10/5): Experiencia Excepcional em Roma! - Anfitrião muito gentil!!! Hospedagem familiar, Área mto tranquila com Metro, restaurantes, supermercados perto. Adoramos e recomendamos!
- Andras (9/5): - The staff, the location and the facilities.
- xrys (9/5): -
- Montse (10/5): -
- Rojas (9/5): Amazing location - The location was great, connected to everything, bus, metro and local stores The wifi was very slow
- Wiktoria (10/5): Wszystko doskonale - Doskonała i bezpieczna lokalizacja, ułatwiająca zwiedzanie, do Watykanu 15 minut spacerem, bardzo dobry kontakt z wspaniałym właścicielem, bardzo czyste i zadbane pokój oraz łazienka, pyszne śniadania w kawiarni niedaleko, możliwość zostawienia bagaży, bardzo udany wypad. -
- Richard (9/5): Great value, comfortable, clean and in a perfect location - A fantastic location, just a minutes walk from the metro, and with lots of supermarkets, restaurants and facilities. The room was comfortable, warm and the shower was great! Fast internet, controllable heating and a fridge! Georgio was there to meet us and explained everything we needed to know, his communication with us on WhatsApp was excellent. The breakfast provided in the café about 20m away was lovely and the owners very friendly. We'll be recommending this to any of our friends who are coming to Rome!
- Alina (10/5): Fantastic stay in a perfect location! - We had a wonderful time here. The location is absolutely perfect, making it very easy to explore the area. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our stay even more pleasant. The accommodation itself was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. One quick tip for future guests: The soundproofing is a bit weak, so if you are a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs. Other than that, everything was excellent!
- Rita (9/5): - La cordialità del host. Zona tranquilla. Stanza pulita.
- Dimitra (10/5): -
- Seewon (10/5): -
- JIAMING (7/5): - Nice location and friendly staff. It is very noisy: you can hear people playing videos and drain noise.
- Giuseppe (10/5): -
- Chiara (10/5): - Il soggiorno ha pienamente soddisfatto le nostre aspettative. La posizione era ottima, comoda per raggiungere facilmente i principali punti di interesse con la metro e a pochi passi a piedi.
Il signor Giorgio è stato estremamente gentile e disponibile durante tutta la permanenza, facendoci sentire subito a nostro agio. Inoltre, ci ha dato consigli molto utili, rendendo l’esperienza ancora più piacevole.
- Sylwia (10/5): -
- federica (10/5): Sentirsi a casa a Roma - Posizione ottima, vicino metro Cipro.
Camera confortevole, pulizia ottima.
Il sig. Giorgio estremamente disponibile, ti risponde a messaggi in tempi rapidissimi.
Colazione al bar... Ottimi cornetti! Per noi ok
- Talekh (10/5): -
- Preda Oana (10/5): - Foarte ospitalier Giorgio si locatie excelenta.
- Carina (9/5): - Ubicación excelente.. La atención de primera, un café que nos esperaba cada día después de una larga jornada…
- Vlad (10/5): - Close to the subway. The host was very nice and understanding. The room was warm and cozy. The included breakfast was served in a nearby caffe, but the property was also equipped with a coffee machine and tea.
- PETER PAL (9/5): Great accomodation next to Vatican City - Giorgio and Elena were incredibly warm and welcoming. I was able to leave my luggage in the apartment early when I arrived.
The room is very clean, and the bed was firm enough for my taste – but of course that’s personal.
It’s very close to the Vatican, yet the area is quiet and peaceful.
The metro station Cipro is about 200 meters away, which makes it easy to reach everything.
Breakfast is available about 100 meters from the apartment, and the service there is lovely.
I travelled alone, and for me it was the perfect choice.
Couples looking for a more intimate or luxurious atmosphere might prefer a different setting, but for convenience and value, this place is excellent."
- Mateusz (10/5): - Lokalizacja, czystość, bardzo miły gospodarz. Cienkie ściany 😐
- Virág (10/5): - Szuper szállás volt. Közel volt a metro állomás, gyorsan el lehet jutni bárhova. Georgio nagyon kedves volt, nagyon felszerelt volt a szoba. Hajszárító, törölköző, tea és kávégép is volt.
- Santo (8/5): Ottimo! - Ottima posizione a due passi dalla metro..
Struttura pulita e staff sempre disponibile Camera un po’ piccolina e a mio avviso la colazione troppo scarna.
- Vladimir (10/5): -
- Martina (8/5): -
- Agnieszka (10/5): - Świetna lokalizacja, do Muzeów Watykanskich jest bardzo blisko. Praktycznie na piechotę można dotrzeć do wielu atrakcji turystycznych.Kwatera jest cicha, Wszystkie udogodnienia zgadzały się z opisem. Mogliśmy bez problemu zostawić rzeczy w pokoju już rano po przylocie. Giorgio odpowiadał szybko i rzeczowo na wszystkie pytania, a jego żona Elena bardzo sympatycznie nas powitała i zakwaterowała.

ホストの方がとても親切で、チェックイン時に無料のネスプレッソマシンの使い方やホテル付近の美味しいレストラン、朝食のカフェなどについて丁寧に教えてくれた。
私は1人で宿泊したが、1人には十分過ぎるぐらいベットが広かった。
部屋とバスルームが清潔だった。
無料の紅茶や緑茶のティーパックがたくさん用意されていた。
スーパーが徒歩2分のところにあり、便利だった。
バチカン市国から近いが、そこまで観光地的な場所ではなく、比較的静かな場所だった。 なし
- Marwa (10/5): -
- Susanna (7/5): - La posizione era molto buona. Sistema di check-in e check out semplici. Tutto il necessario a disposizione e pulito. Struttura silenziosa. Camera piccola e arredata un po’ troppo per lo spazio che c’è. Avevamo un po’ di difficoltà a muoverci essendo in tre. Poco spazio per le valigie.
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Leslie (10/5): Apartamento recomendable cerca del Vaticano, limpio y trato muy amable por parte de los anfitriones. - Apartamento muy limpio, cerca de la estación de metro y destacar el trato amable por parte de Giorgio y Elena, los anfitriones, que nos facilitaron la entrada y salida pudiendo dejar nuestro equipaje en el alojamiento. Sitio muy recomendable cerca del Vaticano. Todo ok.
- Ayu (9/5): - ローマに着いた日Giorgioさんが施設の前で出迎えてくださり部屋まで案内してくれました。また、困ったことがあった時に親身に対応してくださいました。街の中心部からは少し遠いですがメトロの駅が近いので問題ありませんでした。夜は静かで、他の部屋の音もほとんど気になりませんでした。 特になし
- Garance (10/5): - Amazing room not far from a metro station which makes it easier to go around the city ! Giorgio and his team were really amazing and helpful, letting us having the room even before the check-in. Thank you again !
- Paweł (8/5): -
- Teresa (9/5): - Posizione centrale. L'unica pecca è stata il condizionatore. Poco efficienza, se non nulla. In giornata e serate così calde, avremmo gradito un po' di fresco in più.
- BARTOSZ (7/5): - Bardzo miły gospodarz Giorgio.
Blisko do Watykanu.
Blisko stacji metra Cipro.
Supermarket przed budynkiem.
Czysto.
Dostępny ekspres z kawą oaz czajnik z herbatą. Meble obite folią - niezbyt estetyczne.
- Benjamin (9/5): Top! - Unkomplizierter und sehr freundlicher Empfang! Das Zimmer war sauber, das Bad recht modern. Nachts war es angenehm leise. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Der Mini-Kühlschrank ist nach dem Einschalten etwas laut. Ich habe ihn ins Bad gestellt; die Tür zum Bad ist sehr dicht, so dass es dann ruhig war.
- Matteo (8/5): -
- Patrizia (8/5): Ringrazio Elena E Giorgio sono stata bene - Buona posizione vicino alla merto Frigobar un po' più assortito
- Sandra (10/5): Mi mejor exoeriencia - La ubicación y la amabilidad Todo estuvo fabuloso
- Toshiki (10/5): - Great access to the city center, clean rooms, and wonderful staff. Best of all, the Wi-Fi connection was excellent! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends

- Janusz (10/5): Bardzo dobrze spędzony czas. - Bardzo czysto. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Miły i sympatyczny gospodarz.
- Xaverio (10/5): Good choice for a pleasant stay in Rome. - Everything was perfect. Quiet building. Clean Room that is equipped with everything for a pleasant stay: stable and fast internet, a comfortable bed, and a minibar. There was also a good espresso machine in the entrance area. Very convenient, and I really appreciated it.
Giorgio, the host,arranged for my late check-in and did communicate clearly an about this .
The location is easily accessible from the airport and Roma Termini (metro is a 3-minute walk away).
There are plenty of local restaurants and coffee bars in the neighbourhood, as well as two supermarkets within a 1-minute walk of the guesthouse.
Despite its name, the Vatican isn't close by. It's either one metro stop and then a 10-minute walk, or a brisk walk of about 25 minutes.
- Cristian (9/5): -
- Viktorija (8/5): Will be considering staying here once again when visiting Rome. - Awesome place for solo traveller on a first trip to Rome. 5 minutes away from the metro and bus station what makes it easy to commute.
The host Giorgio is welcoming, the co host Elena is friendly and talkative. Got many recommendations on getting around and other city tips. It is possible to get a map at the counter and get around more easily.
A clean shower and overall nicely furnished room.
A lot of artworks in the hallway to admire.
The coffee machine at the reception was a bonus.
A tea kettle in a room for those that like tea.
A small supermarket is just around the corner as well as some cafes to have a snack and a coffee. It would be worth to clean the air conditioner. As soon as I figured it out, switched it off and did not use it since.
Mini bar refrigerator was not cold at all, so unfortunately could not use it for storing my own yoghurt and milk.
