Loved the location, far enough away from crushing touristy areas yet close enough to walk to great restaurants & wine bars. Extensive breakfast buffet was well stocked, very high quality. Staff so attentive. Great choice for our stay. We loved the rooftop bar, great vibe, cocktails & view of Vatican.

While the hotel may not be right in the centre we loved the location. Close to the metro so you could get anywhere quickly, it was super quiet and relaxing and the swimming pool, though small, was a real bonus. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Lots of restaurants a short walk away.

Walking distance from Vatican City, and about a 5-min walk to the nearest train station (Cipro). Rooms were comfy and bathroom was clean. Plenty of food options for breakfast, which we appreciated. Amenities (pool, gym, sauna) were pretty clean— note that you need to make an appointment to use the amenities. We had an enjoyable stay :)

We stayed at room 1418 on the 4th floor, checked in on 26.07.26 for 1 week We had the best time the hotel was spotlessly clean, very friendly staff, Breakfast was great lots of variety (coffee was very good 😉) Staff go above and beyond to help with anything, they even put a birthday cake in the room for my husbands birthday and a card wishing him a happy birthday 😀 such a lovely gesture. Overall we had the best time and would recommend this hotel we will definitely be trying the new mama shelter that is opening the end of the year at lake como. Thank you for a woulderful week xx

Beautiful, meticulous design that made us happy since the first second we got in. Helpful staff, very comfortable rooms. Quite location with free connectivity to the city center, and walking distance from the Vatican. Short sides: breakfast is good but maybe low-staffed, so things that ran out took time to be refilled. Also, shower only has a body soap- turned - shampoo, you need to bring anything else you normally use.
