Same breakfasts everyday, small room for family. Front desk staff not so helpful. Location for St Peter basilica 55 min walk as on the web sites it say different. No camera on the front desk that why staff try to rob you. If you making a payment with cash be careful, a lady did charge me €20 extra she was on her own and no camera fitted that why she took an advantage and put €20 in her pocket. She know that we are tourists, she would have not done with local or people who speak Italian language. Be careful when time come to pay the lady start her shift around 7.00 am. I wouldn’t recommend any of my friends or family. If you visiting Vatican City I would not recommend the hotel 🏨

Booked this hotel last minute. I was abit reluctant as was far from the city centre but was cheap. It is a 10 min walk to metro to get into Rome centre and its only 1.50 each way. There is a direct bus to airport and beach outside the hotel (you need to check Google maps for the times etc) It takes 1 hour. Buses never check tickets so it was free travel all holiday. The staff on reception are very friendly and helpful and went out their way to help. The rooms are abit tatty and need refurbishing but it's clean and just a place to sleep. The beds are comfy but our first room bed was falling apart (see photo) which I think is abit poor standard. The air con does work regardless what other reviews say. Our first room didn't have a balcony so I asked reception if we could move and this was no problem. They moved our luggage while we was out through the day which was nice. It was much nicer and faced the rear garden. The breakfast if I'm honest had one the smallest selection of food ive ever seen in a hotel and I go abroad many times a year. That seriously needs sorting out as it's the hotels biggest flaw and disappointment. Overall the hotel is a 3 star hotel definitely never seen a 4 star as stated. Maybe they just have poor standards in Italy who knows. I would probably stay again as I did enjoy the holiday but could easily be made a nicer hotel without investing too much.
