Small and friendly hotel within secure courtyard
Pros:

Nice breakfast. Ample choice. Continental breakfast. Small cosy dining area. Staff all nice and welcoming. Good location for Vatican City and easy walk into town for main attractions. Quiet and safe area with restaurants nearby

Cons:

A small kettle for tea/coffee in room and English Channel on tv. Other than that comfortable and clean for a weekend stay

훌륭한 위치, 주로 숙소에서는 잠만 자는사람에게 추천
Pros:

바티칸을 둘러보기에 매우 좋은 위치. 걸어서 10분거리에 까르푸도 있어서 먹을것을 사오기에도 좋다.
다만 아파트 단지 중앙 정원같은 곳에 반쯤 파묻힌 숙소라 객실들이 기본적으로 반지하이기 때문에 채광과 환기가 아쉽다. 따라서 객실에 오래 머무르기에는 별로인 곳
조식을 위한 시설은 작은 편이지만 가격과 음식의 질로 볼때 충분히 좋은 편이라고 생각한다.
화장실 내부의 샤워기 관련 기구들이 너무 낡아서 녹이 벗겨지거나 헤드의 물줄기가 이리저리 튀는 등 시설 개선은 필요해 보인다.

Cons:

화장실 시설 개선

Great location, friendly staff, helpful and did I say Location!
Pros:

The location is absolutely amazing if you want to visit Vatican City and do St. Peter's Basilica or shop in the surrounding areas. It was a very short walk and we were there. It is a unique hotel right in the middle of a city block. The breakfast was very tasty and the coffee great. I thought overall it was a great value for what we were looking for.

Il personale ha raccolto la nostra richiesta cambiando la camera
Pros:

La posizione rispetto il Vaticano

Cons:

Abbiamo richiesto il cambio della camera perché quella assegnata al nostro arrivo aveva forti criticità, tenda oscurante rotta, copriletto bucato.

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! The location is fantastic, just a 5-minute walk from the Vatican. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is professional, friendly, and welcoming. The only downside was the double bed, which had two separate mattresses, making it a little uncomfortable to sleep together. Other than that, everything was excellent, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

Nice Experience
Pros:

This hotel was a nice treat. It's not fancy - more like a B&B. If you're expecting the "grand hotel" experience, this is probably not the place for you.

However, if you prefer a quiet place in the neighborhood that's close to restaurants, the Vatican, and some shopping, then I recommend checking this one out. In full disclosure, the room was not perfect as there were some minor maintenance issues. But everything was clean and the room was a good size for this price point in Rome.

The staff was very accommodating and arranged pickup at the airport as well as a taxi to the train station. The common area is a bit cozy.

An extra shoutout to the staff for sending a forgotten item on to us at our next destination.

Pros and cons but an ok stay
Pros:

Decent enough for a short stay with some good points and some negative points.

Perfectly placed for visiting the Vatican although a little bit out of the main centre, which isn’t much of an issue just that it feels a longer distance when walking in high temperatures.

Although we were well aware the only room windows were high up narrow transom type, by our third night the room was starting to feel a little oppressive. The bed wasn’t particularly comfortable nor were the pillows. The bathroom was modern, there was a free safe and a small fridge with a selection of paid mini bar items, plus a couple of complimentary bottles of water.

The air con unit was very noisy and although ear plugs were provided my ears are uncomfortable using them.

Breakfast was very basic but adequate to get you started, but the seating area was tiny.

Despite these points it has to be said all staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. The whole hotel appeared clean inside.
