adequate stay, but some issues persist

faulty air conditioning shaky elevator
the staff were helpful with directions.
The room i stayed in was rather disappointing, the air conditioning barely functioned during most of my stay. It made sleeping difficult. the breakfast area felt overcrowded during peak hours. finally, the elevator was quite old and shaky.

necessary amenities rooftop bar
The room was well-equipped with necessary amenities. The rooftop bar provided A GREAT spot to unwind with illuminated views of the Vatican. I found many EATING options nearby, that was super convenient. Shopping was close BY, but the area remained quiet at night.
THIS was a letdown.

beautiful views helpful receptionist uncomfortable bed few amenities
The rooftop was A HUGE treat! It had beautiful views. Giuseppe at reception was SO helpful. The room received cleaning and tidying every day.
The hotel STARTS on the 4th floor. The beds were uncomfortable. I'm glad we only had a one night stay. The bathroom had few amenities.

a decent stay near vatican city

great location good breakfast closed gym small room
i found the location to be perfect. it was easy to reach the vatican, and other shops were nearby. breakfast was good (i liked the variety).
it was closed, and i was quite disappointed, as i had specifically looked for hotels with a gym. the room size felt small.
