Location: Via Lorenzo Rocci, 64 00151 Roma
My parents and I stayed in this convent for 2 nights in September 2007. Our stay was very good. Our room had 3 single beds, the whole convent was almost empty except for 2 other rooms. Therefore, it was very peacul and we had the best night rest of our European trip!
Pluses: comfortable beds, Bathroom and room were clean. All the nuns that attended us were very friendly and helpful. One even let me used their phone and call my cousin in Rome. We paid 115 Euros for a triple room. Very peaceful place to sleep. There were no noisy guests, no street noise, so we slept very well after spending all day walking in Rome/Vatican.
Since the convent is located in a non turistic area - there was this great italian restaurant, super cheap about 7.5-euros for lunch including a drink and coffee (water, coke, etc) [ very close to the convent in the main road -5 min walk,]. Next to that restaurant they also had a gelato shop, but we never ate there. We always ate gelato in Rome.
Minuses:
-Location is a little far. We took 1 bus to get to Rome, and another one for the Vatican area. Since this bus stopped almost everywhere the ride was about 45 minutes. Still, this is a minor inconvenience considering all their other pluses.
-Curfew at 11PM. For us, it was never a problem at all, we were always dead tired by 10pm!
Other tips:
-We took "roma cabs" from Leonardo Airport, we were 4 people and it costed 55 Euros. Much better than taking the Leonardo Express 11 Euros per person and then getting a cab. I read about the Roma cabs in the Rome Forum.
I will recommend for the right traveler. If you are planning to party some nights in Rome, this convent is not for you.
