We have just returned from Rome having stayed at the Vatican Holiday BB for 4 nights it has a metro just outside which will take you to all tourist attractions and the Vatican is 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The guy running the place is called Michael and he was brilliant he gave us a great map and told us how to get around, if you buy a 3 day pass for 11 Euros at the metro you can use all public transport it is so easy popping on and off the trains (underground) and buses. We were given a voucher for our breakfast which you take to a cafe 3 doors away its coffee, juice and you can choose a pastry its not much but was very nice. I would recommend this hotel and if i go back to Rome i would definetly stay there again.

When we arrived we were taken to a seperate building where our room was, which seemed alot better than where we first arrived. This hotel was situated about 10 minutes walk from the vatican square which is fantastic. The metro station is right outside your frontdoor and is very easy to travel as it only has line A and B. So it takes you to all the great sights of rome.
We prefered to walk alot of the streets, which lets you see so much more of rome but if your not a walking person, its not reccommended.
Breakfast was at the corner cafe 4 buildings down where we got a croissant, tea or coffee.. simple but good, If you are wanting more for breakfast there are plenty of places to eat in the area you are staying. That goes for night dining too, the best resaurants seemed to be tucked away down little streets though.
The room in which we stayed was very clean, simple and cosy. It has everything you need for a short stay, bed, shower,toilet,sink, tv, fridge,wardrobe,drawers,air con,radiator. It is quite modern too.
I definatly reccommend this bed and breakfat if you are staying a short while and are looking for location,convienience and comfort. ****

A flat in a very quiet complex which has been turned into a B&B. Rooms are quite small - this is the only negative comment. Towels are changed daily, the rooms are very clean, the en suite tastefully fitted. The complex is at the far end of a courtyard and therefore very safe and quiet (you need 3 keys to get into the complex and B&B front door as well as a bedroom door key). Each room has a digital TV and digibox and a safe. The location is about 500m from the Vatican and surrounded by restaurants and a wonderful market (excellent fresh fruit). For breakfast, you go to a café a few doors along where you get a juice, cappuccino and a croissant. For the price, cleanliness, facilities and location, its outstanding value.

We stayed at the Vatican Holiday in early October for 3 days. The B&B
is well located and within a 10 minutes walk to the Vatican. The room
we were given was very quiet but extremelly small even by the european standars. The shower measured 18" X 18" and it was so small
that it was hard to get through the door. So if you stay here, don't drop the soap withe showering.

The B&B staff was seldon seen. Thus, no much help/assistance was provided. Breakfast is taken at a local cafee and it is very basic: one coffe, one juice and a croissant. I consider this B&B overpriced for what you get.

I traveled with a friend to Rome and decided to stay away from the many many tourists. As a result we found this property. It's close to the metro station at Cipro exit. The market on via Andrea Doria is great during the day. Lots of fresh produce and cheeses. The walk to the Vatican Museums is pleseant and close, as is the internet cafe (just ask the front desk). MICHELE at the front desk is WONDERFUL and very helpful. He managed to arrange a 4am taxi to the airport for 45Euros. He was also there at 4am to bid us farewell. He provided suggestions for dinner and answered questions. With his limited English and my limited Italian we were able to communicate. The property is quiet and away from the many September tourists. This was a great choice! I would reccomd it to anyone. The towels are wonderful at this property, BIG bath sheets made of Egyptian cotton and they change out your towels everyday. We felt safe at this property and found it easy to navigate around the city from here. The metro does help (Buy either the extended "BIG" pass (4euro) or the 10-day pass, it's worth it!). The only drawback is that the room is very small, but it is functional. Also, the ensuite bathroom is small and functional. if you need alot of room, look elsewhere. If you are only needing a place to lay your head at the end of a day full of sightseeing that is clean, safe and cozy, this is the place for you. Also, the rooms also have safes. Chose this property, you won't regret it.
