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 so we turn up loaded with our backpacks and buzz for Vatican Holiday. No answer. We try constantly for the next 15 minutes and we are getting increasingly nervous as it is a dark area anda few dodgy people lurking about. Finally a lady from a different B&B on the street front lets us inside the gated complex as she was probably sick of us hanging out under her window freaking out about what we were going to do. Let me stress here the street was dark, eerily quiet and no taxi's around or anything to take us anywhere else.
Relived we get inside and find the B&B and buzz the door. another 20 minutes of buzzing until it is opened by the stupid person whi bruns the place. He has been asleep and couldn't hear the buzzer because the buzzer is located in the front entry, not in his bedroom. He offers no apology and so finally we get into our room which is clean and okay.
The next evening we go out for dinner and come back and using our key we try and get into the b&b. Bute we can't unlock the door!! 30 minutes later another guest from the B&B arrives and lets us in. NO ONE told us that to unlock the door you need to turn the key once to the left then twice to the right.
This place is crap. The person running it is rude, the lcoation is okay but there could be better places close to food outlets and the main attractions. I can stress how uneasy I felt being locked out the place because until you visit Rome you don't realise how dodgy it can be. My husband and I were followed by a dodgy guy in a big overcoat for several blocks until we ran quickly away from him. I recommend you stay elsewhere or at least home the idiot that ran it in 2007 has left.

Do not expect a hotel structure, but a B&B structure, with breakfast served at a coffee place in the area (coffee, pastry and juice). Rooms are small, but new, clean and very quiet as they give onto a private court.
You can walk to the Vatican Museums (10 minutes), and if you need the Metro, the Ottaviano stop of Line A is right there.
The only downside is the limited space in the bathroom: one little shelf would have sufficed.
Staff is very nice.
Definitely good value for the money paid (75 euros/night).

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. ****
