We stayed one night in this charming little hotel just a stone's throw from the Vatican. The proprietor met us at the hotel (it doesn't have a reception as such) and took us to the first floor rooms. The hotel is small with only three rooms but perfect for us, with a shared kitchen area with complimentary Nespresso machine and cups, glasses, etc. Our room had a fridge and a comfortable bed. Breakfast the next day was coffee and pastries from a local cafe which the hotel gave us a token for. If you want a good value hotel which is clean and perfectly located for the Vatican, the Metro, buses and plenty of restaurants this lovely hotel should be high on your list.

Mappo's Do Vanetines in Rome

Fantastic location, hosts where brilliant and very helpful. The location closed to the Vatican less then a five minute walk, the Metro station is less than a 7 minute walk can be anywhere within 20 minutes Trivi Fountain was four stops. Once you have had a full day of site seeing the bars and restaurants close to the inn are brilliant, I highly recommend Michele and Daniele couldn't help with information even booked us a cab for a 4am pick-up.

Excellent place to stay

The host Daniele was very friendly and helpful. He suggested a place to eat and also arranged for a driver to get us to the airport at the end of our stay. The location was very close to coffee shop, restaurants and shopping. Also about a 10 minute walk to the Vatican.

Ótima localização

Localização excelente. Atendimento nota dez. Ótimo custo benefício. Só não dou nota dez pois o chuveiro é muito ruim, sem presão na água e gela toda hora, ou esquenta demais. Fica a dica para melhorarem esse ponto. O restante está muito bom.

Camera moderna e pulita, proprietario gentile e disponibile, buona colazione al bar vicino. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, anche considerando la zona e la vicinanza ai Musei Vaticani e alla metro Ottaviano.
