“The real deal”

We spent two nights at the Trianon Borgo Pio on our way to join our cruise ship. This is the place to stay to get the real feel for Rome. Great location,wonderful atmosphere, old but really adds to your Rome experience. Huge rooms we booked a small apartment but finished up with a three bedroom one, has its own kitchen, great for groups or families, old but functional, we are a couple in our 60s. Not a flash spend your cash place, find the nearest supermarket just down the street, and cook yourselves. Bells ringing, narrow lanes within 10 minutes of Saint Peters all add to the atmosphere. Great staff practice your Italian they are lovely people. We are going back.

“Great Location”

Good clean apartments located within easy walking distance from the Vatican. Very good service; They even stored our lugagge after checking out & arranged transfers to the airport at very good rates. Good eating places on the next street. Felt safe in the big city

“5 minutes from Vatican City”

Great location very close to Vatican City. The hotel is situated in quiet quater between Vatican City and Castle of St Angelo. All prime city attraction are within walk distance. Friendly english speaking staff. Newly furnished room included lcd tv plus separate kitchen (large fridge, microwave, toaster etc.) and bathroom with shower. Great place to stay for fair price.

“Quiet Oasis near the Vatican”

This was a great find in Rome! We actually had a small apartment with a bedroom and full kitchen, overlooking a quiet courtyard on a lovely side street, just steps from the Vatican. The hotel's rooftop terrace, which is being renovated, had spectacular views of St. Peter's and the Castel San Angelo. The staff was amazingly helpful, making arrangements for the Vatican tour and helping us to find a wonderful neighborhood (non touristy) restaurant for dinner. We would definitely stay here again.

“Great location, extremely spacious apartment next door to the Vatican!”

I booked Trianon Borgo Pio just by chance on the internet, after reading some good comments on the website. I highly recommend this apartment after staying there myself in early Oct 2011. The apartment block is 8-10 minutes walk to the Vatican and a major bus stop to Rome. The space in the apartment can easily sleep 4, despite advertising as a 1 bedroom place for 2 people. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom with a queen bed, and another room with 2 sofas and a tv. It even has a lift in the building! There are numerous restaurants in the next street, plus a grocery store round the corner. Staff were friendly and most helpful. The only small problem we had was that their wifi did not work. They did offer me a cable connection, but since I had only an iPad without the socket, I could not use it. There were 2 computers with internet available for people though. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.

“Rome's Hidden Jewel”

Our stay at the Trianon Borgo Pio was incredible. We read all the reviews prior to settling on this hotel and were weary that people might be overstating their praise but everything was actually understated, the staff was great Pasquale and Elizabetha were extremely helpful calling the tour operators during our stay and the airport transport for the departure. We had a problem with the air-conditioner on the second day and we were moved to another room immediately while the a/c was repaired, the manager gave us a 48hr hop-on-hop-off bus ticket for the problem. The hotel is centrally located to everything Vatican and within 30 minutes of leisurely paced walking from every other major attraction. The hotel has a good laundry room, gym, and internet lounge. Rooms are spacious for European standards, well equipped kitchenette although the coffee maker is small (espresso maker).

“Convenient Location”

The location was very good. It is within walking distance to the Vatican which is about ¼ of a mile from the hotel. The hotel was difficult to find even for the taxi drivers. We took 2 different taxis from the Airport and both Taxis could not find the hotel because it s located in a small street. Once you have reached your hotel it is fairly easy to find. There is a small store about 25 yards away and a larger market a few block away. The rooms are spacious with a kitchenette, complete cooking utensils and a small percolator. The bathroom had a small shower, bidet and blow drier. There is a place to iron and do laundry in the basement but it has limited hours. The wireless internet rarely worked during our stay but we were able to stay connected via LAN cable in your room which worked well. The staff was overall friendly and helpful during our stay. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and would consider staying here again!

“Excellent accommodation for a family of five.”

I had an excellent package price with hotel and airplane. With that price, it was beyond our expectation. It was a pleasant surprise for the excellent location of the hotel, cleanliness and spaciousness of the room, and safety and convenience of the neibourhood. The Borgo pio street is filled with excellent restaurants and pizzaterias and it is a walking distance to Vatican. I would definitively recommend this apartment for a five star quality!

“Would do again.”

Alot of eating spots close by, Vatican close. Big rooms with alot of space.
