In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Location is the main draw — Guests repeatedly point to the position: close to Vatican City, just off the Ottaviano metro line and a bus stop, and surrounded by supermarkets and shops. The hotel is also within a 5-minute drive of Bioparco di Roma.
- Rooms are practical for a budget stay — The rooms are simple, but reviews highlight useful details like fridges, electric kettles, central heating, a private safe and multi-channel TV. The amenity list adds air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee facilities.
- Useful services for the price — Wi-Fi, parking, luggage storage, 24-hour security, housekeeping and an airport shuttle are all listed. Several guests describe the staff as kind or helpful, with one noting that the team helped recover lost documents.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort and dining score lowest — Comfort gets 5.0 and Dining 5.4 in the guest ratings. One guest described breakfast as terrible and the pillows as old, so this is not a hotel to book for meals or plush bedding. The overall 5.8 guest average also falls below the area average of 8.7.
- Room layouts can be awkward — Rooms rate 5.8 overall. A recent guest noted that the toilet sits inside the shower, and another said the only positive was a clean room, suggesting basic fittings and upkeep.
- Service is inconsistent — Several reviews praise the staff, but one guest describes the owners as unfriendly and unhelpful and says rooms weren't refreshed on Sundays. Staff and Service both sit at 6.0.
- Check-in ends at 23:30 — Check-in is restricted to the 09:00-23:30 window, check-out runs from 07:00 to 11:00, and the property does not accept pets.

5.8Verified guest“The staff were all very nice and helpful. I greatly enjoyed my reasonably spacious room, which had a fridge and a nice view. I booked the room for 88.”
5.8Verified guest“The rooms were well-equipped and clean, with a fridge and a nice view. The location was marvellous and favourable — in the city centre, in a beautiful area. The Vaticano Prati district was worth exploring.”
5.8Verified guest“This hotel met all our demands and I can recommend it. We booked a guest room that was as advertised, complete with a fridge and a nice view. The location was absolutely perfect, in a nice neighbourhood with easy access to supermarkets and shops. Vaticano Prati was worth staying in.”
5.8Verified guest“Our room was clean, but that's the only positive I can say. The owners were not friendly or helpful in any way. The toilet is in the shower. Breakfast was terrible — and we only expected a European breakfast, having been to Europe many times. They don't work on Sunday, so your room isn't refreshed, and the pillows are old.”
5.8Verified guest“I truly enjoyed the central heating, private safe and multi-channel TV in the room. The hotel was just off a metro station, on the Ottaviano line and close to a bus stop. It was also next door to Biggie's Pizza for dinner.”
5.8Verified guest“Excellent location — right next to a metro station, Vatican City and the city centre.”
