Hotel locates at very safe and quiet Vatican area. It took 10 minute to walk to the Vatican Museums. Front desk people are very nice and helpful. SIT airport shuttle bus stops are only walking 5-6 minutes from the hotel.

The hotel was conveniently located next to shopping, restaurants and in walking distance to the Metro. The rooftop bar had great views. The only negative is that there is no elevator on the ground floor, and the reception is on the 4th floor.

Generally the overall experience was fine and the staff accommodating. Room was tight but acceptable. I needed to work on my computer which I needed to relocate to the eating area after breakfast was served as my suite table was really not a functional table to do business off.

Overall, I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—many attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores are within walking distance. I also really liked that it’s slightly away from old Rome, giving it a more authentic neighborhood feel compared to the busier, tourist-heavy areas. The room was comfortable and a good size for the price, and the breakfast offered a nice variety with options like bread, cheese, eggs, yogurt, and coffee. The hosts were very welcoming and made the stay pleasant. The only downsides were that the room facing the street could get a bit noisy at night (not really the hotel’s fault), and there are quite a few stairs to climb—though there is a small lift available. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Rome!

Properties located in a prime location. A lot of nice stores around. Close to all attractions. But going into the hotel reception is located on the fourth floor elevator you have to take a few steps up and the elevator only holds up to 2 people and barely has room for suitcases so if you’re travelling with large suitcases you will not fit. But otherwise staff is great and the service was great.

This is our fourth visit to Rome and have stayed here every time. Really convenient to walk to most locations, or Metro a few blocks away. Enjoy the rooftop patio as a relax and wind down area each nite.

This was my families third time choosing to stay at Hotel Relais dei Papi. It is a nice place, friendly staff, great rooftop to relax on at the end of your day exploring. We will be returning again in 2024 and considered trying somewhere else just for variety but decided to just stick with where we know we will be treated right.

Decent but nothing special

Decent accomodation centrally placed! The bed was kinda worn out and one of the towels were dirty. But the location was good close to the subway and apart from the above the room was clean and the AC worked.

You get very much what you pay for. Staff are friendly enough, but towels are small, you can't leave your AC on in room when you are gone so the room is infernally hot when you get back, roof top bar is nice enough but they definitely overhype it in the pictures. I would personally cough up some money next time to stay at a nicer hotel, but if you are on a budget and are just needing a place to shower and sleep, this is definitely a solid option.

Horrible hotel

We booked a renovated room, but when we got to the hotel they "upgraded" us. It was not an upgrade. The room was old. The beds were old and the blanket was old and small. It was dirty. We asked for the room we booked, but refused any help. Maybe its a language barrier, but the person at the desk was rude. The only positive thing I can say is that the area is good. Walking distance to everything.
