"The room is competitively priced in a convenient location. It’s easy to access the local metro station or bus stop, or even walk to the Vatican City or a bar. The staff here was faultless, very kind and helpful. However, the bathroom has patches of black mold in, the “shower gel” was watered down and there was no safe. We found that our room was incredibly dark during the day and noisy during the night - not just the expected street noise but the fridge would wail all night long. My husband...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Vatican City?

As Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world, the best area to stay is just outside its walls in the Prati district of Rome, Italy.Prati is a top residential and commercial neighbourhood located directly to the east of Vatican City. It's known for its wide, tree-lined avenues like Via Cola di Rienzo, which is excellent for shopping, and elegant Art Nouveau architecture. You'll find a good selection of quality hotels, restaurants, and shops here. It's also very well-connected by public transport, with several metro stations and bus routes making it easy to explore the rest of Rome.For couples, Prati offers a sophisticated and convenient base. You're within easy walking distance of St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, allowing for early morning or late afternoon visits to avoid larger crowds. After a day of sightseeing, you can enjoy a relaxed dinner at one of the many trattorias or cafes in the area.Families will also find Prati a practical choice. The neighbourhood is generally quieter than some of the more central Roman districts, providing a calm retreat after busy days. Its wide pavements are pram-friendly, and there are parks nearby for children to enjoy.

When is the best time to go to Vatican City?

The best time to visit Vatican City is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically April to May and September to October, to enjoy pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these months, the temperatures are comfortable for exploring, usually ranging from 15°C to 25°C. You'll find the major attractions, such as St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, are less crowded than in the peak summer months. This allows for a more relaxed experience, whether you're admiring the Sistine Chapel or strolling through the Vatican Gardens.For those who prefer even fewer people and don't mind cooler weather, visiting in November or early December can also be a good option. While it's cooler, with temperatures around 10°C to 15°C, the benefit of shorter queues and a more tranquil atmosphere often outweighs the need for a warmer coat.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
