We stayed here for 6 nights in October 2011. Loved the location of the hotel. It's a 5 minute walk to the Vatican and in a quiet area of town. It is close to restaurants and other small shops. The room was sparse but clean and comfortable. The shower was tiny and hard to move around in. The bathroom would... More

The location was wonderful, the rooms were clean. The front desk staff were cold and impersonal - they need to work harder on their customer service. The nuns in the breakfast room were much friendlier, maybe they should work on the front desk. A real 'nickel and dime' attitude - they charge an outrageous 5Euros for 30 minutes on their... More

Exellent, rooms were plenty big enough (we had 3 in our room), plenty of room in bathroom, tho sparce by American standards, couldn't get over how spotless not only our rooms were but the entire hotel, same as before. Perfect location, very safe, had elevator, great breakfast, served by the nuns. Wonderful pretty chapel on 3rd floor as well. No... More

The rooms in Madre Pie are, as other reviewers have said, very basic but spotlessly clean. Everywhere is tiled and the whole house is reasonably quiet. The breakfast is more than adequate and because the house is in a neighbourhood location there are various places to eat and have coffee at reasonable prices. The people at the desk were courteous...

A few of us travelled to Rome for meetings with the Holy See. The location is excellnt but the tiny rooms are spartan and for Eur85 for single rooms you would expect more especially with the many special offers available from hotels now. We reserved rooms back in August and only finalised details a week before arrival, with the result... More

For anyone wanting to be a 5 minute walk from St. Peters, this is the place to stay. It is also near restaurants, an ATM and a pharmacy. It has a garden, which in a city is a major plus. It is secure, none of my group of 26 lost any belongings while there. The reception staff are vigilant about... More

My wife and I stayed in the Residenza over Easter week( April 30-May 5). The hotel is operated by the sisters of Madri Pie. The religious order runs missions in Peru and proceeds from the hotel go toward their mission. A very nice European-style breakfast is served by the sisters and includes fresh fruit, cold cereals, fresh rolls and bread,... More

This Residence is very convenient for the Vatican area on the side near the Aula Paolo VI, the Scavi office and the Vatican Post office. The Vatican Museum entrance is more like a 15 minute walk away. Public transit is close by (several buses) and also a train (Civitavecchia line from Termini or change at Trastevere from other trains). The... More

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August. It is unbelievably close to St Peter's Square and the Vatican - about 150 metres. Ok, so that makes it a distance from the Centro Storrico area, but if St Peter's is your thing you really won't be disappointed. There are several restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity,...
