Our family (Mom, Dad, two teens) stayed at Residence Candia for 4 nights in March, 2009. We decided to stay at the hotel because of the "three rooms apartment" which we assumed was two bedrooms and a sitting room. It was actually two bedrooms, each with "double" (between king and queen) beds, and a third bedroom that was so tiny the entire floor was taken up with a smaller, full size mattress (on the floor), which was in seriously bad shape. Additionally, there was another sleeping space in an upstairs loft, where our son ended up sleeping, and thought was great.

The apartment had two bathrooms, which was wonderful, but no laundry facilities, which were listed as in the hotel. The space was clean, but the mattresses were hard, and the lack of any common or sitting area was strange.

There were several groups of high school & college kids staying in the hotel when we were there, who were quite noisy into the wee hours of the morning. I finally went out and asked them to keep it down, and they did respect my request, but you might want to ask if any groups of students are booked there while you are there.

The staff was really nice, and the hotel was very convenient to the metro, but not overly convenient for walking to most of the non-St. Peter's sights. But, for the money, it was a ton of clean, basic space.

The hotel is very close to a metro stop and the Vatican. Although not the most central to the other sights in the city, we very much enjoyed the location. We stayed in a very recently remodeled room with new furniture, appliances and bathroom. The room was very clean and over looked the courtyard. The only problem with our room was it was pretty noisy at night when people would come home. Overall, decent place especially for the price.

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.
