We had a great time at the Vatican Holiday B&B - once we found it!! It took us two hours walking up and down Via Andrea Doria and when we eventually found it, there was simply a tiny plaque on the wall to say the name of the B&B. My tip is to look at the numbers of the properties... More

The B&B is within walking distance of vatican city and two metro stations - Ottaviano and Cipro. Outside, the sign for the hotel is hard to see as it is actually on the wall. The B&B is an apt. turned into very small rooms. Our room was right next to the entrance and opposite the reception area and we didn't... More

Essentially old and modest accommodation, very clean, convenient and quietly located with a very big and comfortable bed.The room had a fridge which was very useful.The greatest asset to this accommodation was Michael who met us when we arrived.I had read the negative comments about access after hours and had e mailed prior to arrival.It was my error that we...

We arrived around lunchtime and had no problem finding the apartment block door & buzzer on Via Andrea Doria, as all the doors/houses are numbered. Although we had to move to the 2nd apartment block on Viale Giulio Cesare (about a 5min walk with luggage), it's actually a great spot right next to a subway stop and sooo close to... More

It's not a real hotel.The rooms are inside an apartment in a private building. You have to carry 4-5 keys with you for all the doors. There isnt even a hotel sign on the outside. (they do issue receipts) The breakfast is to be taken at a bar nearby and its quite poor (cofee + orange juice and maybe a... More

The Vatican Holiday is collection of condos maintained and operated by the Vatican Holiday Group. Because of this, your experience there is unpredictable. The rooms are clean and the price is great, so if you do decide to go get the telephone number of a contact person. There is no single check-in area. This can be rather confusing and frustrating...

This was a pretty bad experiance for us, especially considering that this was the last leg of our European tour. We got there at night, it was dark and this was basically a hard to find and badly labelled building, which was hard to get to with the suitcase. When we got there, it was an apartment building with one... More

We arrived at about 10pm due to a fire on the railway that delayed our arrival. The B& B is part of a complex that has about 10 or 12 other B&Bs and so there is a locked gate on the street front with buzzers that you buzz each separate B&B with. It was a pretty dodgy street and area... More
