THE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT AND ENERGIZES TO START YOUR ACTIVITY FOR THE DAY. SHOPS AND DINING PLACES ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. THE PROXIMITY OF THE HOTEL TO THE VATICAN AND ST. PETER'S SQUARE WAS BEST FOR THE PRICE OF THE HOTEL. THE STAFF WERE ATTENTIVE AND HELPFUL TO ALL OUR NEEDS AND REQUEST. WE WILL STAY AT THIS HOTEL AGAIN.
Great place to stay at. Close to everything and very good service

Liked: Staff & service
It was small, the people were nice. Clogged drain with a bird's nest of hair that I had to remove after "room cleaning". Makes me wonder if they cleaned the shower. Breakfast was fair. Location was good, they called a cab for us and did let us set bags up there due to early arrival. Overall medium.
We stayed 3 nights and the staff was very accommodating to us and arranged transportation for us on 4 occasions. They left plenty of information on a table in our room. I did not notice that we were provided a free bottle of sparkling wine until I read the information on the 3rd day. We enjoyed it that night! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay near the Vatican. It is a short walk to a nearby metro station, as well. The staff were all friendly and professional.
What an absolute pleasure it was as staying at the Vatican Relaise
The staff were extremely helpful the location was in the centre and walking distance to many of the sites
The only downside was the room was rather small however we did have a balcony to compensate for it
The breakfast was continental & had plenty of choices
Would definitely stay there again and highly recommended it
A big thank you to Jo for sharing all her tips on where & how to go she really was amazing as were the housekeeping
Thank you
Clean and convenient B&B. Very informative and friendly staff, comfortable beds. Highly recommend. Location is amazing, near the Vatican and a lot of great restaurants.
Great place to stay, close to everything. Restaurants, subway and buses are all within a few minutes. Friendly staff and accommodations were always clean. I look forward to staying in the future.
The staff were great, very accomodating when we ended up having a very late check-in, due to delays at the airport. The location is very convenient for walks to St Peter’s square and the Vatican museum/Sistine chapel, public transport and food options. Reasonable room facilities. The lift to get upstairs to the second floor is small, found it easier to use the stairs.
