About

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Location that walks to the Vatican — Guest reviews put the Vatican at 5–10 minutes on foot, the metro at under two minutes, and restaurants and shops on the same street.
  • Staff are the standout — Staff score 9.4 out of 10, and reviews mention friendly welcomes, useful city tips and a can-do attitude at reception.
  • Quiet, comfortable rooms — Rooms rate 8.7 out of 10; guests call out soundproofing, bright interiors, comfortable orthopaedic mattresses, large showers and jacuzzi tubs.
  • Honest value for the category — Value (8.4) and dining (8.5) both score above the overall 8.3, and more than one guest calls the guesthouse a great base for a city break.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities are limited — Facilities is the lowest-scoring category at 6.6 out of 10, and no restaurant, gym or pool is listed among the amenities. This works best as a comfortable base rather than a full-service hotel.
  • Arrivals have a narrow window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to make arrangements in advance.
  • Some rooms feel compact — One guest noted the room was a little small, though very clean and comfortable.
  • Pets aren't accepted — House rules state that pets are not allowed, so travellers with animals will need other options.
