The staff was very helpful and friendly.
The hotel is located right across the street to the Vatican. Walking distance to the metro. Lots of restaurants and shops.
The hotel was clean, quiet and safe.
Very good breakfast.
Hotel Museum provided a fantastic stay in an unbeatable location right next to the Vatican Museums entrance, just a short walk from St. Peter’s Basilica, the Ottaviano Metro station, great dining options, and a convenient local drinking fountain. The staff was incredibly welcoming, always smiling, and very thorough during check-in, with a 24-hour reception and secure luggage storage making everything seamless. The charming vintage decor truly lives up to the hotel's name, complemented by clean facilities and a handy drinks vending machine.
Our room with two double beds was clean, spacious enough to unpack comfortably, and equipped with cozy linens and working air conditioning that provided much-needed relief from the heat. The bathroom was equally clean, featuring excellent water pressure and fresh towels replaced daily. Just remember to have cash ready for the local property tax upon arrival. We would definitely stay here again!
Walking distance to the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica. Easy access to Metro.
Clean rooms and good breakfast!
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
It was unique in the way that there was an over powering smell, in the hotel and worse in the room
There was no cold drink supplied on arrival in 40 degree heat
The floor was filthy
The hotel needs to be urgently updated
When walking out into the streets they also smelled and rubbish everywhere
What a great opportunity for the owner to have a hotel in such a great location and to offer a more cleaner and better environment
We loved staying at the Hotel Museum. It was a short block from the entrance to the Vatican Museum entrance was a short block away. Staff were extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast on the covered rooftop terrace, was excellent. Delicious espressos and coffees, eggs, bacon (the best), meats, cheeses, yogurt, fruits, nuts, pastries- a feast. We enjoyed wine and a grocery store dinner on that terrace one night. It was a trip highlight. The room had all that we needed - high ceiling, fresh air. The elevator came in handy, as we stayed on the 3rd floor. We loved Rome and the Hotel Museum.
We stayed here to go to the Papal Audience as it was located right outside the Vatican wall. Area had lots of restaurants and activity. Hotel is very unique and resembles areas of local museums and artwork. Staff is super helpful and friendly and hotel is very clean and we could see St Peter’s basilica out our window! It was perfect for us!
Staff were great. Helpful with questions. Room was a decent size as was the bathroom as well. Air conditioning was running! Breakfast was good variety and good taste. Some street noise the odd night, we were on the first floor. Close to Vatican City so helpful with getting there early. Close to metro which also was good for other sightseeing.
Only major complaint is that the beds were very hard. Could have slept on the floor, it would have felt the same! Variety of pillows was helpful but body got quite sore after 3 nights.
