We had a "Penthouse" for 3 days, and it was just what we wanted. As a couple on a bit of a budget but not wanting to stoop to hostels, this was a perfect place.

We walked most of Rome from here, and many busses use the road just outside if your feet get tired.

The room was small but functional (with good use of mirrors!) and had a small kitchenette area which was great because it meant we could make our own breakfast and lunches.

We also had our own balcony which was bigger than the room, had tables and chairs and meant we could sit outside if the room felt too small.

Reception staff were very helpful whenever we needed.

Fantastic place to stay and probably one of the nearest to the entrance to the Vatican Museum.

Exactly what we were looking for.

Due to a train strike we had to find another night in Rome. This place was very nice, and on a quiet street. The staff was friendly and helpful and gave us a great rate. We had a 2 bedroom apt with a kitchenette. Large shower. Lots of amenities in the bathroom. Metro is very close and the vatican museum entrance. Nice big grocery store nearby too. Rate was 130 euros.

The only thing positive about Residence Candia is its locations. I found the staff of this hotel really unhelpful and quite rude. The rooms were cleaned as and when without any set routine.
The interior of the hotel is terrible.

I would definately not stay here again. Also I found that the price of the rooms are way too expensive for what you get.

We loved our stay at the Residence Candia. It's very close to two Metro stops (Cipro and Ottaviano) and you can see the Vatican walls from just outside the hotel. The room we had was small, but very clean and well maintained. It even had a little kitchenette, although we didn't use it. The showers were also a little tight but plenty of warm water and very clean. But the service was what sets this hotel apart. The front desk was very hospitable and knowledgable. We'd definitely recommend it again. Wide range of guests...young and older. Many folks we ran into were from the US.

Our reservation got cancelled at another hotel, so we came to the Residence Candia as walk-ins, and they had availability. Lucky for us!
