Great for a short stay, comfortable and clean. All facilities were shared and this suited us well. Great proximity to the Basilica and Vatican if you are planning to visit. Also very close to the train station and bus stop. Reception very friendly.

Loudest hotel experience ever but great location
This was louder than staying in a dormitory in a hostel. All the rooms were clustered around a shared kitchen. Every time someone turned their key, opened/closed their door or turned on the tap- you could hear it at all times of the night. Because the rooms were so close together there was no buffer of a hallway for the comings and goings late at night or early in the morning. The neighbourhood itself was very quiet and an excellent location. 2 minutes walk from the train station but far enough away that you couldn't hear the train. At the end of the street, you can see St Peters Basilica. Beautiful! Just don't expect to sleep.

Great location
Good location. St Peters is an the end of the street! Also there is a station a 3 minute walk away in the other direction. Well organised for late check in although we didnt actually need it. Friendly staff. Marked down for using coffee pods - not very environmentally good, but use of the kitchen was nice and they did provide coffee and tea.

We enjoyed our stay at this property, it's in a great location for visiting the Vatican but it is a little ways away from most of the shopping and attractions. The staff here were great to deal with and check in was easy. The beds were not very comfortable, which was the biggest drawback for me. Overall, I would recommend this property.

The room was nice. We didn’t know that the restroom was not in the room. The staff was nice and responsive. This property is in an old building but the location is convenient. A lot of restaurants around the area.

Extremely convenient to Vatican City. Also, walkable to the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. A bit of a trek to the Spanish Steps but worth every mile!! The property itself was quiet except for street noise on the weekend. Our family of 6 definitely felt safe and staff was extremely helpful and kind. The only downside were the small bathrooms but we found this to be the norm throughout most of Italy.

We had a great stay at Colazione Al Vaticano. Very close to the train station and the Vatican. Super quiet neighbourhood. The room was very clean, big and comfortable. The only "negative" would be that there isn't staff on site 27/4 since it is a guest house so you just have to make sure you tell them when you are arriving so that Staff are there to check you in and show you to your room. But again, they are very accommodating so this isn't an issue, but more of a FYI. Would definitely recommend!

Alessia was very helpful before we arrived at our stay, and our check in and check out were very smooth and easy. When we arrived, we saw the beautiful Vatican from the street which we really enjoyed. But, when we entered the property, we were disappointed to find the room smelling like cigarettes despite the property saying it was no smoking, the air conditioning in the room did not work, the shower water pressure was terrible, the sheets were stained, and the glass window in the restroom to the room next door let light into our room in the middle of the night. We were not satisfied.

The customer service we had from Alessia (sorry if I've spelled this wrong) was great, she was so helpful and informative, letting us know about the train strikes Friday and booking us a taxi to airport. However, the shower didn't work properly, was cold even on the hottest setting, and had bad pressure, and the pillows were lumpy and hard, and the air con unit was loud and was poor. On our last night as well, there was a lot of noise going on either in other rooms or in the common room for most the night, waking me up on several occasions.

There are many things that we liked about the apartment (super knowledgeable, helpful friendly staff, convenient location to train and bus station, very close to the Vatican, some good food locations close) but the most important things were very disappointing....the left side of the bed's mattress was collapsing, the light fixture above the bed hadn't been dusted in who knows how long, the shower was small (I'm 5'11", 185 lbs), the room provided was NOT the room in the advertised photo and overall the room needed some definite attention. Unfortunately I would not stay again-too bad since there were many nice positives.

The host was the kindest, most helpful woman I’ve encountered in my years of travelling. Check in was clear; contact was made by WhatsApp in advance to check my check-in times. The location: perfect, right across the street from S. Pietro station; 10 minutes from Vatican City. The guesthouse was wonderful: in essence, you have your own apartment, albeit shared. Would return on my next trip to Rome.
