Our stay was wonderful at this hotel!
Very well located close to a lot of restaurants that aren’t a tourist trap. Rooms are clean and comfortable, very easy to enter and exit the hotel. Francesca was so kind and so helpful when we were stuck without a taxi trying to get to the train station.

Pros - near everything. Walk to Vatican and many restaurants. Wonderful staff, very clean room, super comfortable bed. Only minor issues was limited counter space in bathroom and a little challenging to find due to limited street signage in Rome. Would highly recommend for price!

Cute and small hotel, the first floor of an older building, all redone and modernized. It's very clean and quiet, with good air conditioning. The owner/staff are very kind and helpful. It's basically next to the Vatican -- we would stay again.

Nice property, close to the Vatican in the Prati area. Safe, convenient and lots of dining options. Room was quaint, but on the smaller side. There are zero toiletries available, so you’ll have to either have your own or purchase some across the street at nearby pharmacy. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Loved this property. It was a lovely room, with a large bed and bathroom. Very comfortable, and the AC was very nice. The workers were so nice, and did a great job making us feel welcome. We did not imminently find the property, but received a call right away letting us know where to go. It was phenomenal. I would absolutely stay here again.
