Guest Reviews
- Francesco (2/5): Way too expensive for the value, old furniture and services. - Proximity to city centre The bed was totally uncomfortable and the springs were broken making impossible to sleep in two
- Laura Adelina (5/5): Good location, not clean at all - The location was really good, close to the metro station, right next to Vatican City. It was not clean at all. The pillows smelled strong like sweat, the bathroom as well had a weird sewage smell. They didn’t clean the rooms properly, they just had the room rearranged without properly changing the sheets.
- Elisabetta (3/5): mi spiace ma no - posizione Esperienza deludente. Camera con forte umidità e poco confortevole, bagno sporco con muffa sul muro e doccia minuscola. Arredo vecchio e diverso dalle foto. Letto alla francese invece che matrimoniale e al posto dei comodini c’erano frigo e cassaforte. Per il prezzo pagato non ne vale assolutamente la pena.
- Spinelli (3/5): -
- Neassa (10/5): Great location right next to the Vatican museums - Location was great! Shower wasn’t great
- Petra (8/5): - Bližina centra. Lokal zraven nastanitve, ki vrti glasno glasbo do 2h zjutraj.
- Tim (7/5): -
- sophie (8/5): Idéalement situé pour une visite du Vatican et du quartier historique (près des bus et métros) - L’emplacement est idéal, facile d’accès. Le voisinage très bruyant la nuit.
- Natalia (9/5): -
- Karwacki (7/5): - Die Lage ist super. Direkt beim Eingang zu den vatikanischen Museen. Um die Ecke in Supermarkt, süßes Café bei dem viele Italiener/innen zum Frühstück kommen. In Prati sind Restaurants und Bars zu finden, bei denen viele Einheimische zu Gast sind. Die Metro erreicht man ebenfalls in 5 min. Keine Rezeption, Bad an der Decke Schimmel da kein Fenster.
- Chen (5/5): 谨慎考虑 - 位置很便利,离梵蒂冈博物馆超级近。适合需要一大早去排队的人。 1. 在单元楼里,标识不明显,第一次去容易走过。
2. 一定要提前告诉房主什么时候到。因为我没有看邮件,到了才联系,等了一个多小时。
3. 房间在一楼,比较阴冷。四月意大利已经挺暖和了,但是在屋子里觉得凉飕飕。
4. 洗漱花洒管子漏水,导致花洒喷头水小。地漏下水慢,洗一会儿就积水了,非常难受。洗浴间的门也不太好。
- Guarraoui (8/5): -
- Goop Campesino (9/5): Ideaal voor Rome - Perfecte ligging, 15 a 20 minuten loopafstand van de shuttlebushalte, 5 minuten metro en 1 minuut(!) naar het vaticaanmuseum entree. Alles om de hoek: goede restaurants en bakkerijen voor ontbijt.
- Inmaculate (7/5): -
- Semeniuk (9/5): -
- Qualityman (8/5): Ottima base di appoggio - Credo sia stato il miglior early check-in della mia vita: avevamo chiesto di lasciare i bagagli la mattina, e l'host ci ha dato invece la camera già dalle 09:30. Anche al check-out ci ha fatto separare le chiavi della camera da quelle di portone e portoncino e così abbiamo lasciato i bagagli in struttura sino all'orario di partenza.
Posizione eccezionale, vicino ai musei vaticani e alla metro; moltissimi locali e servizi nei dintorni.
Pulitissimo, temperatura stanza perfetta senza bisogno di accendere l'aria condizionata
Materiali di atmosfera, e sempre gradita l'acqua in frigo e bollitore con the e caffè solubile. Ineccepibile il wi-fi (le mura spesse limitano il segnale del cellulare) In bagno la doccia aveva qualche problema (schizzi dall'attacco del flessibile). Materasso rigido (e ci sta), ma non so bene di che materiale fosse, era rumoroso nel girarsi; non ho dormito benissimo
- Cecilia (6/5): - molto buona la posizione vicino a tutto possibile arrivare a piedi in zona Vaticano in pochi minuti stanza un po' cupa, materasso non comodo (e foderato di plastica per cui rumoroso se ti muovi), bagno molto vecchio - la doccia ha un'anta senza rotellina per cui scende quando la apri, il tubo della doccia non è sigillato e perde, per cui l'acqua esce più da lì che dalla doccia, scarsa illuminazione impossibile truccarsi: non ci sono specchi nella stanza, c'è lo specchio sopra il lavandino che è poco illuminato, ed uno specchio tondo che non ingrandisce ma deforma. Non c'è spazio in bagno per appoggiare gli oggetti
- Matthews (4/5): If location and price are most important to you, choose this. If comfort is important, skip. - Location was great Floor was dirty in the room
Bathroom was moldy
Got sick from the water on the first day
AC worked but was incredibly loud
Walls felt paper thin, could hear people brushing their teeth in the next room
No soap in the shower
Bathroom smelled sewer-y
- Mine Ezgi (7/5): İdare eder - Konum iyiydi ve personel yardımseverdi. Oda biraz karanlıktı. Duş kabini çok ama çok dar olduğu için duş almak çok zordu. Tuvaletin sifonu da durup dururken garip sesler çıkararak sizi korkutuyordu. Tertemiz bir hissi vardı diyemem...
- Alyda (8/5): - Was vlakbij het Vaticaan en je kan vlakbij goed eten en winkelen Douche was wel wat aan de kleine kant maar verder was het helemaal goed
- Giovanna (7/5): - Ottima posizione Stanza molto piccola e arredata in modo appena sufficiente, la pulizia non era il massimo ma per una notte e’ andata bene
- Maria (10/5): -
- Sabine (10/5): Génial - La disponibilité des hôtes. Nous sommes arrivés très en retard à cause d’un problème de transport et notre hôte a répondu présent. Emplacement parfait
- Yanlei (10/5): -
- Anteri (8/5): - In centro molto comodo come posizione Al posto dei comodini:
Cassaforte e frigo piccolo
Con sopra lo scalda acqua due tazze e te a infusione,il problema è che non c'erano i cucchiaini.
- María Belén (10/5): - Desde nuestra llegada fuimos muy bien recibidas con explicaciones necesarias para nuestra estadía... La limpieza cotidiana excelente y el ambiente muy acogedor a pesar del frío de la época... La ubicación no podría ser mejor y una gran cantidad de servicios cerca...
- Bertoni (8/5): -
- Carmen (8/5): - Pozitia foarte buna raportata la vizitarea punctelor turistice,Palatul Vatican,Fontana di Trevi,Coloseum,Castelul Ingerilor,Pantheon Fiind iarna incalzirea în camera a fost slaba
- Dale (8/5): Very good launchpad for Vatican visit, as well as Rome sightseeing. - Superb location
- Marco Angelo (7/5): - Il bagno era piccolo, sopratutto la doccia
- Antignano (8/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Ottimo! - Posizione molto centrale al Vaticano e vicina a molti ristoranti e stazione metropolitana.
Proprietario molto gentile e disponibile e struttura che ti fa sentire a casa. Bagno bello, solo piccolino.
- Dantonio (8/5): - We paid for our breakfast Shower doors didn't close properly & water wasn't warm, took too long to heat up.enough
- C-PQS (9/5): - La relació qualitat preu.
I el metro està a prop i et deixa als llocs principals en un moment.
- Luana (9/5): -
- Mirte (8/5): - Prima kamer. Fantastische locatie Stuk kleiner als op de foto's leek.
- Daniela (8/5): Super für Kurzaufenthalt / Besuch des Vatikan - Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett. Das Zimmer war sauber, etwas klein aber man hatte sogar einen kleinen Tresor und einen Kühlschrank im Zimmer.
Die Lage ist super, man hat gleich nebenan zwei Restaurants und die Lage ist sehr zentral (die Vatikanischen Museen sind von der Haustür aus in Sichtweite). Es gibt keinen privaten Parkplatz der zur Wohnung gehört, aber ganz in der Nähe gibt es ein öffentliches Parkhaus (1,50€ pro Stunde, Tagesmaximum 20€, Stand: 11/2025).
Das Zimmer ist sehr klein, für eine Nacht war es absolut in Ordnung, aber für längere Aufenthalte wäre es mir persönlich zu wenig Platz.
Im Bad und auch im Zimmer gab es trotz Fenster sehr viel Luftfeuchtigkeit, an der Decke war bereits ein Schimmelansatz erkennbar.
Im Gang hat es sehr unangenehm gerochen (ging in Richtung Chlor, evtl. war es Schimmelentferner), im Zimmer war der Geruch zum Glück nicht wahrnehmbar, sonst wäre eine Übernachtung für mich nicht möglich gewesen.
- Neslihan (8/5): -
- D'Agnillo (9/5): - Struttura molto accogliente e soprattutto posizionata bene, ci ha permesso di raggiungere i Musei vaticani , piazza San Pietro e la fermata della metropolitana in poco tempo. Pulita sia la camera che il bagno e lo staff molto gentile, si potevano lasciare le valigie dopo il check out in modo da poter continuare in propri giri Forse la colazione non compresa, ma è in rilevante
- Dado675 (8/5): - Posizione (davanti all'entrata dei musei vaticani), pulizia, possibilità di check-in molto ampia. Letti comodi
- Karla Cristina (10/5): Muchas gracias, respondieron súper rápido y muy amables. - Está súper cerca del vaticano, seguro.
- Jacildo (5/5): it ok for the purpose when I went to visit Rome - it was easy access no one to receive you when you get to the property.
- Невена (4/5): -
- Belgin (8/5): -
- Johannes Dostler (9/5): Super Aufenthalt direkt neben dem Vatikan - Wunderschöner Aufenthalt direkt beim Eingang zu den Vatikanischen Museen, top Lage. Sehr schöne kleine Terasse integriert war schon ein zweites Mal dort, ein sehr freundlicher Service, super klimatisiertes Zimmer. Leider eine sehr kleine Dusche, aber geht raumtechnisch nicht anders
- Solange (8/5): Lindo y bien ubicado - Linda habitación, cómoda, lindo barrio, bien ubicado a pocas cuadras del Metro a 1 de los museos Vaticano.
El personal excelente, tanto la chica de recepción como el dueño/encargado siempre a disposición.
- Katie (8/5): - The ease of coming and going. It was loud when other guests were coming in late at night.
- Gergő (7/5): -
- Loraine (8/5): Comfortable short stay - Nice room in a popular area. We liked the outside area and that the apartment appeared safe and secure.
Good for short stay.
Host was very helpful. Room was a little smaller than expected.
- Davide (8/5): Roma Bellezza inaspettata - Ottima la posizione Sola una nota, la cabina della doccia non si chiudeva benissimo lasciando uscire un po’ d’acqua sul pavimento .
- Vera (8/5): -
- Angel David (10/5): - Établissement très bien situé et proche de tout.
Très bien desservi par les transports.
Lit très confortable.
A côté de boulangerie, restaurants
Recommencé 100% RAS
- aoife (10/5): -
- Marie (8/5): Ce fut un séjour très appréciable - L’emplacement est super L’insonorisation
- miguel (5/5): Buena ubicación - La ubicación La limpieza del baño y del suelo escasa, no había mesita de noche (tenía una caja fuerte y una nevera ruidosa que hacían de mesita), el colchón duro y hacía ruido cuando te movías,el dueño (era amable eso sí) lo vimos solo el día que llegamos.
- Leonor (9/5): - La ubicació perfecta esta al lado del vaticano
- DIMITRA (10/5): - Πολύ ωραία τοποθεσία και όλα πολύ κοντά! Πεντακάθαρο δωμάτιο και πολύ ευγενικός ιδιοκτήτης! Όλα τέλεια! Δεν είχε μπαταρίες το τηλεκοντρόλ
- ana (6/5): - Location was excellent There were not free toiletries such as toothbrush or slippers, also shampoo bottle was empty.
Refrigerator and air conditioner had strange and loud sound.
The entrance smell is horrible.
- Elie (6/5): Mediocre - Proximité des transports, 2 arrêts de bus à proximité et le métro A à 7 minutes. Très proche du Vatican. Endroit calme à proximité des commerces et restaurants. Odeur des égouts horrible toute la nuit, porte de douche cassée. Lit dur comme du bois pas du tout confortable. Pas de sachet de café je ne sais pas pourquoi il y avait une bouilloire et des tasses. Pas de gel douche dans le distributeur on était obligé d’acheter une bouteille.

- Rod (8/5): Very good -
- Dmitriy (9/5): Superb -
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional - Good room with nice bathroom. Clean and tidy, host was great to deal with. Location was fantastic would recommend.
- Alina (10/5): Exceptional - The location was fantastic (two station metro near, or walking 5 minutes to Vatican or 30minutes down center), the cleaning impecabil, the entire stay was exactly what we expected to be. Definitely we'll return if I'll visit again Rome and strongly recommend. We also found some very nice restaurants near, right on the street, so that was a big plus for us. I didn't have anything to thing about it.
- KATHERINE (10/5): - I stayed here by myself. My room was attractive & updated. Glad to have a window. Small refrig. WiFi. The bathroom was very nice. The stand alone shower was typical in a small space. Good water supply. I was very satisfied. Safe neighborhood for sure. A block to the Vatican Wall & entrance to Vatican museum. A great restaurant. Friendly bar. Gelato & breakfast place all with a few!! minutes walk.
- Andrea (8/5): Very good -
- Anna (10/5): Kindness of the host is overwhelming. - The host was very kind.He came earlier to check us in,though it was on a very short notice.Besides,I got sick the last night of our stay,the host allowed us to stay a little longer which was a blessing for me.Thank you very much! The mattress was a little old and at some point I could feel my back sinking down.
- Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Utku (6/5): Pleasant - Location, bathroom. Noise of the fridge next to your head, old furnitures.
- Dikmen (1/5): Bad -
- Nina (10/5): We can’t wait to go back and stay again! Andrea was a superb host. - It was exactly what we expected and needed for our stay. Steps away from the Vatican. Plenty of restaurants. Easy access to transportation. We had no complaints.
- Farid (10/5): - Perfect location (2 mins to Vatican) (40 mins to Trevi Fontain by walk), metro in 5 mins, bus stops in a minute from the hotel. Clean and quiet. Many places to eat delicious food nearby. Recommend
- Yi (7/5): Good - the best thing is the location, very close to the museum.
- Vakhtangi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeanette (8/5): Room near the Vatican City. - The maid was helpful and gave us fresh towels when we asked her for some. It was nice that we had a kettle and fridge with a small outside terrace.
The room was close to the Vatican city and there were some nice restaurants nearby. Colour of the room. It was depressing.
The room was at the back of an old building which I felt a bit claustrophobic .I could not see any fire regulations.
The shower it's self was tiny.
- Charalambos (8/5): Very good - Excellent location very very closed to museums and not far from other antiquities in the center of historic Rome .
- Rebecca (9/5): Superb -
- Suzanne (8/5): Very good -
- Mads (8/5): Very good -
- Alma (9/5): great - great lotcation, comfortable, air conditioning, had everything you need it wasn’t too much of a problem but the doors were quite hearthrough
- Christopher (10/5): Would highly recommend! It’s a lot more impressive than the photos. - Location, perfect! Next to a busy street with plenty of restaurants, shops and market stalls. Also around to corner from the metro.
Cleanliness, perfect no complaints.
Host, very nice guy. Went out of his way for us more than once. No Complaints.
- Michael (10/5): Great option for a 1 or 2 person short stay near the Vatican. - I only stayed in Vaticana Ottaviani one night, on my arrival to Rome prior to picking up my daughter to go explore other areas of Italy, and it was perfect for that. It was a relatively small room, with its own bathroom, comfy bed and a small private patio. The Vatican is literally steps outside the front door. I have no complaints. The place was perfect for a one-night solo stay on my arrival to Rome prior to heading out for another location for a few days.
- Orit (8/5): Good location but would be good if was cheaper - The location is good, and the room is nice and simple, although small. Too packed. The window to the street feels little unsecured as it is in the first floor. Expensive compared to the value.
- Reizyl (10/5): Exceptional - Unique style! Very good location Nothing
- Viktoryia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ευγενια (9/5): Superb - The room was cosy, the bed was comfortable and big, it had a fridge which was useful and the bathroom was clean and had everything we needed! The host gave us coupons for one free breakfast at a nearby cafe/bakery which was unexpected and a very sweet gesture!
- Nell (10/5): Best holiday i’ve had in a while! - Safe and quiet area with good bars and restaurants that aren’t packed with tourists or overpriced, lovely room and terrace was gorgeous!! Only thing it was missing was a bottle opener :)
- Kristof (8/5): Very good - Good room, spacious bathroom, good bed, perfect location
- Tak (10/5): Great value and feels like home - Responsive and welcoming host who promptly changed the shower head for me and offered a free welcome breakfast. Prime location just 2 minutes walking distance from Vatican City. Drainage is a bit slow but otherwise all great.
- Muireann (9/5): Fabulous place to stay in Rome - Lovely cosy room, very close to the Vatican City. Lots of places to eat around. The host was very kind and helpful.
- Olga (10/5): very good - This is a wonderful place to stay if you are in town for a couple of days. Located at the Vatican walls, it offers everything one needs to spend a night before going to explore this wonderful city. The bed was cozy (including the pillows), the bathroom had everything you need, and there was also a kettle and some teas offered for the right start of the day. We had a room with a little terrace and it adds to the charm of the place. The host was extremely welcoming and ready to go above and beyond to help the guests.
- Umur (9/5): It is very lovely place and great host. If you want to stay in Rome to visit common places, Vaticana Ottoviani might be - Andrea was lovely host. The place is near to the metro, they cleaned the room everyday and very well cleaned, and if you plan to go Vatican museums, Vaticana Ottaviani is the best place you can stay; otherwise if you plan to go common visit areas in rome, there are better places to stay. However, still you can easily transport everywhere in Rome, including city center and common visit areas. Due to the weather conditions, we sometimes get cold. Heaters work in mornings but not working very well at nights. However, I should say it was not freezing inside.
- Ciprian (10/5): Great location - The room was small but good equipped, clean and quiet. The location is great, near Vatican and also lots of restaurants and markets. -
- Henrique (9/5): Great stay - Location: close to the Vatican and public transport to the city, plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby
Cleanliness: the place is spotless, and the room is cleaned every day
Comfortable bed and pillows The room lacks a chair and small table, making it a bit difficult to eat and work if needed
- Salome (10/5): Exceptional - The room was very clean and cute. The location was a perfect 2-minute walk from vatican museums. The host was very friendly and even gave us a voucher for free breakfast 🥰
