Terrible experience at this property.

Great location, fun park and walking trail right next to the property and very walkable to the Vatican. The metro station is also right next door which will take you anywhere in the city. I was even able to leave my bags past checkout which was super helpful as I attended the Papel Audience.

Judged by value for money, this is definitely a top choice: Almost (if not totally) new rooms, friendly staff, airy room and generally a nice place to be. Please bear in mind that this is a guest house - not a hotel - and do expect to be able to hear guests in other rooms. A small thing: Signage, when you enter the courtyard, is kind of missing, but luckily property staff was able to direct me to correct stairway and floor. Not in the center, of course - but accessible from local station only 250 meters away.

Very convenient as it’s right across from the metro, and very clean and well-maintained.

Avoid at all costs — filthy and dishonest. 1. Sketchy neighborhood, not Vatican Prati; misrepresents proximity to major attractions (St. Peter’s Basilica, advertised as a 15-mins walk; 26 mins per Google). 2. Unacceptable cleanliness. The kettle had black buildup (photos taken after the first wash show residue coming off). It was so unsanitary that we avoided using any cups and even slept fully clothed. The shower gel dispenser was empty, and no coffee maker as advertised. 3. No clear instructions for check-in, and difficult to locate within a complex of multiple buildings, with no indication it is in Building A. 4. The host was dishonest and charged us extra. We are 2 adults and 2 kids, but the kids were somehow not included in the booking. At check-in, the host demanded €20 per child in addition to city taxes. This made no sense—we booked a quadruple room (one queen, two twins) advertised to accommodate up to 5 people. We were willing to pay if this was a standard policy, but when we checked Expedia, the price difference between 2 adults vs 2 adults + 2 kids was only 12 USD. After we pointed this out, the host changed the story, claiming €14 per child for towels, bed sheets, slippers, etc. When we said we hadn’t even opened the slippers, she changed her explanation again, saying slippers were free. Ridiculous—does that mean guests booking a room with 1+bed must only use one bed or be charged extra for touching other beds?!

Nice place to stay

Staff was responsive and helpful. Little challenging to get into apartment.

The property is very convenient for the Vatican.

The property was not as described on the advertisement. There was no Internet. No no balcony. No City view. When asked where we could park. The attendant seemed less interested in answering our Question than attending to whatever she was doing on her computer. This property is a sublet. Seems they have parking on side, but do not offer it to anybody renting the property. The attendant was rude, and she didn’t care what we needed. What we had or didn’t have. The property is in expensive, but in a neighborhood I would probably not stay in again. Next time I would rather pay more.

Check in was confusing. I was let in by the cleaning lady who had to track down the proprietor. I was eventually given my keys and able to put my luggage away. The room was small but clean and comfortable. I slept well for the one night I spent there. There was no breakfast though which was disappointing.
