I tried to cancel more than a week prior my stay - due to my wife being hospitalized.

I ask for credit or refund - but according to Expedia support they are both declined despite providing proof of hospitalization.

This is my honest review for this hotel.

Very sad.

Our room was really small, we could barely walk around, bathroom was very small (although very clean with high quality fixture). No kettle, no iron board in our room, I had to request a kettle.

It has great location, 7 minutes walking to vatican. One staff was waiting for us at 8 pm for checkin, always nice to checkin with real person.

Overall an OK stay, not great.

We had a great stay here. It has a great location only 3 blocks from St. Peter's. A cab line is less than a block away.
The staff is really terrific. Our wifi was great and there was a large selection of breakfast grab and go items. I would stay there again, it was such a great experience!

THE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT AND ENERGIZES TO START YOUR ACTIVITY FOR THE DAY. SHOPS AND DINING PLACES ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. THE PROXIMITY OF THE HOTEL TO THE VATICAN AND ST. PETER'S SQUARE WAS BEST FOR THE PRICE OF THE HOTEL. THE STAFF WERE ATTENTIVE AND HELPFUL TO ALL OUR NEEDS AND REQUEST. WE WILL STAY AT THIS HOTEL AGAIN.

It was small, the people were nice. Clogged drain with a bird's nest of hair that I had to remove after \"room cleaning\". Makes me wonder if they cleaned the shower. Breakfast was fair. Location was good, they called a cab for us and did let us set bags up there due to early arrival. Overall medium.

We stayed 3 nights and the staff was very accommodating to us and arranged transportation for us on 4 occasions. They left plenty of information on a table in our room. I did not notice that we were provided a free bottle of sparkling wine until I read the information on the 3rd day. We enjoyed it that night! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay near the Vatican. It is a short walk to a nearby metro station, as well. The staff were all friendly and professional.

Vatican Relais Rome delivered on all fronts.
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and well-informed thanks to proactive and thoughtful communication. The room was immaculate, charming, and quiet—perfect for a restful night after a day exploring the city. And what a location! We could stroll to the Vatican in just a few minutes and also access the metro and nearby shops with ease. Every detail—from the amenities to the value offered—was cohesive, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

What an absolute pleasure it was as staying at the Vatican Relaise
The staff were extremely helpful the location was in the centre and walking distance to many of the sites
The only downside was the room was rather small however we did have a balcony to compensate for it
The breakfast was continental & had plenty of choices
Would definitely stay there again and highly recommended it
A big thank you to Jo for sharing all her tips on where & how to go she really was amazing as were the housekeeping
Thank you

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! The mattresses are worn out and dip down in center 4\". They only have twin beds. To make 1 larger bed, they push 2 twins together so you end up with two beds with dips in each side. The center is very hard. We didn't sleep at all as mattresses are heavily worn. They advertised 24 hour shuttle. What they mean is they will arrange for an uber. However, our flight was changed and we needed to be at the airport earlier. When I asked to change shuttle they said no. We decided to book the uber ourselves (2 hours before original uber they booked). They told us we could not cancel. I explained that we had to be at the airport earlier and were getting an uber on our own. Then said we had to pay anyway. Understand they do not provide the shuttle...they simply arrange it and customer pays to uber direct - it's not free shuttle service. We refused to pay them for uber we didn't use and an asian man called me names and was rude. At check-in we were a few hours early and our room was not ready. They kept our bags at the check-in counter and put bags in our room when ready. When we returned we discovered cash was missing from a bag. If you are expecting a \"typical US type hotel\", avoid this place. It is more of a youth hostel vibe. But my biggest complaint is if your business is providing a place to sleep, you should have a decent mattress. The mattress was simply unacceptable and pushing 2 worn-out together to make a queen bed -ridiculous.

The staff were great, very accomodating when we ended up having a very late check-in, due to delays at the airport. The location is very convenient for walks to St Peter’s square and the Vatican museum/Sistine chapel, public transport and food options. Reasonable room facilities. The lift to get upstairs to the second floor is small, found it easier to use the stairs.

Great price and stay for the busy area

It is like an apartment building with a receptionist on each floor who buzzes you in. The Filipina ladies are nice. The room is clean. Probably needs new beds considering the heavy traffic for the Vatican all year long. We parked at a paid garage down the street. The room was reasonably priced.

This is a very nice small hotel, which is about 4-5 min walk from the Vatican. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As you can imagine there are plenty of places to eat nearby given how close it is to the Vatican.

The rooms are very typical size for Europe, so do not expect Marriott size rooms. The rooms are clean and have good A/C. We had a queen and twin, so it was tight, but manageable .

The breakfast was typical European continental, no one in our group complained.

I recommend it for a 3-4 night stay.

Call when you arrive to the address that your map brings you to b/c the hotel is the 2/3rd floor of a multi-use building, there is no sign and the doors are locked.

This property is located on a tiny street. Our taxi dropped us off across the intersection and we needed to ask for directions. Once inside it is clean and charming. The room was very small but it had a nice balcony which we sat on to enjoy some of the old architecture in the area. We also enjoyed the bottle of wine that was provided. Delicious. and the bathroom was beautiful. The bed was comfortable but about 12 inches from the wall on my side. The continental breakfast had some delicious pastries and cake. Espresso and cappuccino machine. Orange juice, milk and cereal and yogurt and cold meats and cheeses. Would stay here again

Convenient and Clean

One block from the vatican, close to good restaurants like the La Locanda di Pietro which became our favorite restaurant and also within walking distance to other places to visit. Clean rooms but on the tighter side which is common by european standard. Staff are friendly. Breakfast is average. It's more than enough for me but I eat very light breakfast. And thanks goodness they have an elevator. They kept our bags until we were ready to leave for our flight late in the afternoon. Will definitely recommend.

This property is a guest house in a Condo where 2 floors have rooms that belong to Vatican Relais Rome. It does not look like a hotel entrance but a Condo therefore you have to look at door buttons to access the Guest rooms. Rooms are super clean, small, and are serviced everyday. All rooms have a small balcony cute to bring breakfast and eat there. No coffee pot or access to hot water in rooms or a microwave. Breakfast is 7 euros additional fee per person, every morn from 7:30-10:00. Not much a variety but ok for the price. Most of the day there is no access to personal on the front desk but are friendly if and when you are lucky to find staff. Vince was the only one we were ever able to find and he was great and always helpful. Customer service is lacking. The plus, its 7 minutes to Vatican and taxi stop. Many restaurants close by too. Good for a couple but not a family and for a short stay. If you are accustomed to hotel environment, amenities, and hotel front desk service, this place is not for you. Overall a clean place to sleep at the end of the day.

Our flight was coming in later in the evening. the property manager stayed in touch so that we won’t forfeit our room. This is more of a bed and breakfast than a hotel-hotel. Very close to the Vatican like 3-4 blocks. Good restaurants to eat around. We were VERY pleased with the whole property and staff (Rency and Lily) Everyone was enormously helpful. They’re always cleaning the facilities and consistently available for any and all questions and requests. The hotel also offers a small breakfast with coffee, espresso etc and various breads for a small fee. Very close and accessible to everything. You are literally in the middle of Vatican City. Commuting to places is ideal as the public transportations are always on time and plentiful. Thank you for a great stay Vatican Relais Rome!

This is not a normal hotel. It's several rooms in a building housing other venues. When I arrived I wasn't sure I was in the right place. Getting in and out of the building is awkward. There is only one person at the desk, who is only there from 7 am until the evening. We had to carry our own luggage downstairs for an early flight.
