The hotel is in a super location if you want to be near the Vatican. You can see the dome of St Peter's from the top floors windows.
It is too far to walk in the evening to the centre but the 64 bus runs regularly from outside the hotel. There are not many places to eat near the hotel, though the two restaurants we tried were fine.
The staff were friendly. The bed was very comfortable.
However, the street which is near a main road is very noisy, the wallpaper on one of the bedroom walls was falling off. The smell in the bathroom from the sink and toilet was awful - a real smell of bad drainage.
Breakfast was a buffet style and was ok - but limited choice. We had to prompt the staff to bring extra croissants.
The hotel was expensive for what the standard of accommodation, but I guess it is because of its location.
The room could have been cleaner. The bathroom lokoed very dated, so did the furniture.
The gloosy brochure we picked up in reception does not resemble the hotel. Wish it did.

within 5 minutes walk of vatican. directly on central bus line; about 10-15 min walk to Metro (underground).

at least 3 cafe/restaurants within 3 minutes of hotel.

safe, clean, excellent choice for anyone visiting Roma.
We stayed for 4 nights, and saw all of the city with this hotel as our base. we purchased a 3 day ticket good for all bus/metro lines, and we could get anywhere within just minutes...getting around was very easy.

the room was large, very clean, but you will experience road noise since it is close to the main street going towards the vatican. it didn't bother us, but it might some. we don't spend a lot of time in the room, so as long as it is clean, has a decent bath or shower, and is in a great location, it works.

this hotel had it all. i would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good values rooms, and although simply laid out, are spacious enough and clean. The vicinity to the Vatican is a bonus if thats what you are in Rome for, but a nice walk down the river takes you into Trastevere and just across the river is the centre. We had a quadruple room that worked out quite cheap, and we didn't have any problems with the noise although some of the other guests did.
There seemed to be a lot of priests and people working in the Vatican staying there which I suppose is a good sign, but would stay there again simply for value for money, and the spectacle of St Peters which is practically out of the front door of the Hotel.

The property is on a side street near the Vatican Colonnade, with a grocery up the road, small trattorias (and chinese restos) souvenir shops (whatelse) and clergymen (and women !!!)

Quaint elevator (but for three adults with 60-80 Kg worth of luggage, everything has to be choreographed).

Rooms are a bit dated and dark (ours had a nice tree outside the window) but the lavatory is another story (we got used to the THX sound of the flush) inside the room. Other than that, it is best to enjoy Rome and return to the room tired and exhausted.

breakfast was adequate (At least they had cereal.. in hotel florida, venice... only croissants!)

staff were generally nice and helpful (especially the lady and the older gentleman, whose names escape me)

Overall hotel is adequate for pilgrim and budgetty types.
