El área donde eses ubicada es buena pero la entrada , el elevador de polea y súper pequeño , el patio descuidado parece una vencidad de mala muerte antes de entrar al Airbnb . No lo recomendaría para una familia

What an amazing place this is.
Yes the rooms are on the small size but it has everything you need and is clean .
The location is fantastic.
About 2 minutes walk to the nearest Metro station Ottaviano. So close to walk to the Vatican area too.
The breakfast trolley that is brought to your room in the morning by Nicoleta is such a lovely touch. Just enough to fill you up to start your day. You get a choose of how you want your eggs cooked and a choice of hot drink too. Also comes with pastries cereal toast yogurts and fruit.
Nicoleta is so lovely and really looks after you.
There is a supermarket literally minutes away too.
We felt very safe in this area at night too as its just a lovely location.
You wont be disappointed if you book here.

Very good place to stay in Rome. The apartment located on the 3rd floor of the old building with elevator and is in walking distance from Vatican. The only thing what is a little complicated for some people is the Virtual keys, what you have to use just one time - when you arrive. My suggestion- pay attention to your e-mails and to WhatsApp or Viber messages - you gonna get a link for virtual keys there, read the instruction in the email and you will have no difficulties to get in (we did not have them). Also, the owners can be contacted via messenger, email or phone if you have any questions or issues. There is small refrigerator and teapot in the room and coffeemaker in the common area. Decent breakfast, served in your room - you have to make selections the night before and will get it at the exact time you’ve ordered it. Very convenient mattress and pillows soft or firm- depending on your preferences. There is AC with the remote control in the room and excellent WiFi connection. There are plenty of the restaurants and little stores around the area (some of them closed on Mondays though).

From start to finish our stay at the Best Vatican was great. The virtual keys we were sent were a brilliant idea and Elena responded quickly to our email about what to do on our arrival. She was a very pleasant helpful lady who made a lovely breakfast trolley up for us every morning and brought it to our room at our requested time. Our room was perfect and very comfortable and the building the apartment was in was quiet and felt very safe. If we were to return to Rome one day we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great find near Vatican!

This boutique hotel was wonderfull. Great location near the Vatican and good restaurants close by. We loved the room service in the morning. We also booked our car to the airport through the hotel and that service was awesome especially because the we were having a hard time getting taxis anywhere because the city was very crowded during our visit.

We chose this B&B because of it's location to the Vatican, which was a 10 minute walk to our tour starting point, and its ratings, but we didn't know anything about it.

Communication regarding checking in was great, and the staff person was amazing. Breakfast was abundant, fresh, and delivered on a trolley to your room, not served in a common area as I expected.

The B&B itself is on the third floor of an older European building which houses other apartments and offices.
There is a small elevator to help travellers with their suitcases. The rooms are clean and have been modernized.

Because of the building's age, there was a somewhat higher than expected noise level. The area quietened down after 11, though.

The only drawback in our particular suite, though, was the strong smell of mould in the bathroom, which had obviously being cleaned. The fan didn't seem to work either. This odor seemed specific to our room since there the bathroom in the common area was fine. It's a problem that management should definitely attend to.

Still, for a short stay that's very near the Vatican and metro stations, this place was ideal. There is great shopping nearby, as well as lots of local places to eat.

I loved the convenience pkg the walking distance to Vatican City as well as the metro. The Metro system is the smallest in Europe but much of that is due to the antiquity of the city itself and excavations. Having the Metro close by gave us access to all of Rome. The staff was wonderful. Any requests I had I would send by email and within 24 hours i would have a response. And Nicolette was always available and helpful with any questions or assistance.I would definitely stay here again

Having stayed at yhe best b and b twice previously, this was our third visit. We stayed in the standard room which was quite smaller than the superior. The staff were very friendly and communicated well over email prior to our visit.
One thing different on this visit compared to our others was that breakfast wasn't served in the room on sunday. However, we are unsure if this was a feature in the superior rooms only.
Would highly recommend staying here, clean, tidy, safe area with lots if shops, restaurants and close to the vatican.

Great stay in Rome!

We stayed at Best Vatican B&B during our three-day trip to Rome. The room was clean and spacious; great for what we needed. The location was perfect! It's right on the Metro line, and walking distance (obviously) to Vatican City. So it's very easy to see all the major tourist stops while in Rome. If you have time and are able to, you could even walk to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, etc.

The service was exceptional. There is a manual check in process, which they email you about in advance, so it was easy to navigate. The breakfast was at a cafe across the street; you get an espresso or cappuccino, orange juice and cornetto (basically a croissant). The cornetto was fresh baked and delicious!

If I ever come back to Rome, and I hope I do, I will definitely stay at this hotel again. I highly recommend it!

Quiet, Clean, Conveniently Located

My husband and I spent several nights at Best Vatican B&B and loved it there.

The location is incredible and in a neighborhood that felt safe to me. You're a short walking distance from the Vatican, close to a metro stop, and close to plenty of places to eat. The cafe where you are provided your free breakfast has delicious breakfast pastries, decent cappuccino, and the best juice I've ever had in my life. While we're talking about food, each day they leave you fresh fruit, a sampling of free coffees/teas, and tasty jelly candies.

The room is clean and has nice but minimal decorations. Our room had a television, ironing board, safe, etc. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also a nice size with a full shower. The toiletries they leave you are a lotion, a shampoo, and a body wash. (I'd say they're good for low maintenance folks-- if you are picky, bring your own.

The wi-fi was reliable, which was helpful since we did not have cell phone service while there.

If you want a nice place to stay on a romantic trip that won't break the bank, this is your place. I'd definitely stay there again if I were to go back to Rome. The entire time we were there I never saw another guest go in or out, so we felt like we had the place to ourselves.

The only downside is that we had to pay 20 Euros extra because we had to check in after 9:00 PM.

Very good B&B near Vatican

This cute B&B is located very close to Vatican Museum and Ottaviano tube station and the area has number of coffee shops , Pizzerias, and snack bars. using the Metro train, bus or even Tram a visitor can easily travel to most of the tourist attractions of Rome. Although the rooms are small, they are well equipped and spotlessly clean.
As we did , you can plan trip to major attractions (like Vatican , Colloseum etc ) in the morning and return to the B&B for a short break and then resume your outing to the atrractions of the eternal city .

Really nice guest house close to Vatican

We were quite pleased with our stay at Best Vatican. The room was ready for us immediately on arrival. The room was modern,clean and well maintained. The wifi wasn't the fastest but was good enough. The location of the guest house is fantastic. You are only 5 minutes walk from the Vatican and 10-15 mintues from the city centre or 2 minutes walk from a metro stop. Around the guesthouse there are plenty of supermarkets and good value restaurants and café's. The service was excellent. The lady who works there is Nicoletta and she is a really nice person who is very professional and hospitable. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come to Roma.

Very Nice Hotel

Very nice Hotel with extremely welcoming staff. The room was lovely and had everything we needed as well as being extremely clean.

It was very close to the Vatican which is good and had plenty of restaurants near by.

The only downside was the breakfast that was on offer. There wasn't really a sizeable breakfast apart from on Sunday where they deliver it to your room, then you get a fair amount.

We would definitely recommend the Hotel to anyone.

Great B&B, good location, uncomfortable bed

This B&B was perfect for a couple of days in Rome, only 2 minutes walk from the metro and 5 minutes walk from the Vatican. The staff were fantastically helpful and friendly, the room is a decent size with a fresh bowl of fruit everyday, which is a nice touch. The breakfast is a really good continental breakfast in the coffee shop opposite.

The only thing that needs changing in the room we had is the bed and pillows, which were uncomfortable.

Great location for vatican

Lovely b & b and the breakfast trolley was what you would expect at the Savoy if you ordered room service . The bathroom is a little small but not a problem for us. The old building was full of character .
Turning right out of the property two minutes walk keeping on the same street was the Irish bar Derry Rock on the other side of the street. It was difficult to find even tho we knew it should be there as the windows were very low down & only a tiny sign near the door not always lit up. Number 96 a good little bar.

Great little B&B!

Just got home from a lovely few days in Rome and a nice comfortable stay at this B&B.

It is ideally located just a stones throw away from the Vatican and just outside the city centre meaning it is in a nice quiet location.
There is a Metro stop with links to the city centre and all the sights about a 2 minute walk away and there is a cash point and 24 hour convenience store right next to the B&B. There are also some nice restaurants nearby.
The B&B itself is on the third floor of a charming little apartment building. The third floor has been converted into 4 B&B apartments.
The staff are not there 24/7 so just inform them of your expected arrival time and they will be there to greet you when you arrive.
The room itself was comfortable and we liked the modern decor. There is a TV and a DVD player (you can borrow DVDs from the office), Air con and free WiFi oh and a PC in the office which guests are welcome to use.
Breakfast is delivered to your room at a time of your choosing.
The breakfast was amazing, a veritable feast. Continental Breakfast with cereal, meats and cheese, croissants and pastries, tea, coffee, toast and jam, a selection of fruit. More than enough to set you up for a day looking around the sights.
One day we mentioned to one of the staff that we were going to Pompeii the next day and won't be around for breakfast as we would be leaving very early. So they prepared us a little breakfast to have in the morning before our trip.
I will definitely stay here again!

Nice hotel room close to Vatican & Metro

The room was clean, modern, comfortable and good value for money. There is a Metro station (Ottaviano) a 2 minute walk away which is very handy for getting around Rome. You can purchase a 48 hour Metro pass for just €12.50 - perfect for getting on and off the Metro to view the different attractions. The hotel provides a fantastic breakfast direct to your room between 8am-10am. You get given a large set of keys for the room which includes keys to; the main hotel/apartment block gate, the floor door, the room door and safe key. When visiting The Colosseum (highly recommended!!) be wary of people posing as \"Roman\" soldiers acting over friendly to take photos with you as they can get aggressive demanding money. Me and my boyfriend almost got over €20 each \"robbed\" from us and would hate for someone else to be put in that position. But all in all, a gorgeous city with plenty to do and fascinating ancient Roman history.

Best breakfast ever!

This place is small but we got personal attention. Our breakfast was delivered on a cart to our room each morning, and included fresh fruit, pastries, meats and cheeses, cereal, toast, cappachino, fresh squeezed orange juice, yogurt, and a choice of scrambled, fried, or boiled egg. Each day our room was tidied, and the bathroom was immaculate. It was a little tricky to find the place, with no real sign except a small name plate next to the buzzer, but we found that typical for Rome. Have to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to the B & B. There is a lift (elevator) available, but it can only handle one person and a few suitcases. Our hostess, Nicholetta, was wonderful, and we were able to communicate even with her limited English.

Very comfortable, good sized, well appointed quiet room on 3 rd floor of older apartment block. Staff do not live on site so had to arrange to be met which worked fine and given lots of useful information on arrival. Given keys to come and go as we pleased. Excellent breakfast brought to the room each. Morning. Would stay again.

A friendly welcome by helpful staff, clean and tidy room with fresh towels and toiletries every day. The breakfast was super served at a time to suit us. Great location close to the Metro and fabulous restaurants. We'd recommend it to anyone and would stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to Rome.

great location near the Vatican

We stayed 11 nights in January 2014 and enjoyed the comfortable B&B which is near to a Metro and bus stop and near to lots of shops and restaurants. We easily traveled throughout Rome from this location. Nicoletta the lovely caretaker made our stay very enjoyable. The daily giant breakfasts were delicious. There is a nearby 24 hour bakery and 24 hour restaurants and an ATM machine. With being just one block from the police training and tons of young police officers around, we felt very safe here. The towel warmer came in handy for drying cloths.

Først var jeg litt beskymret fordi dette hotellet er en type hotell med selv innsjekking, (for meg så har det har alltid vært sånt inn sjekking ved skranken med personalet) men denne gikk helt greit. Fikk e-post med punktlig forklaring på hva som skal gjøres. Rommet er liten men koselig og ren med vannkoker, kaffe, te og drikker fra minibar (vann, juice, brus) som kan forsynes uten ekstra kostnad. Frokost serveres på rommet (uforventet roomservice) 😍. Ligger midt i Ottaviano med butikker og restauranter og metro som fører deg hvor du vil i hele Roma, også er det går avstand til Vatikanet. Med 70€ pr.natt fikk jeg mye for pengene her. Love it.

I will recommend this hotel

I really enjoyed my stay. Short distance to the public transport. You can also walk to the different attractions in Rome. Good restaurants close by to the hotel. The hotel staff was really nice, and the service was good. I will definitely recommend the hotel to other guests. The hotel has a high standard, you get a lot for the money.

Allotjament molt íntim. Només 4 habitacions situades en un pis molt a prop del Vaticà i també de la parada del bus a l,aeroport. Et porten un esmorzar molt complert a l,habitació, i el fet de tenir nevera i taula en aquesta, fa que puguis sopar fins i tot a la mateixa si estàs cansat/da de tot el dia. Molt recomanable.

Das tolle war das die Unterkunft sehr zentral war, dass Frühstück aber war ein Witz (Einen Kaffee und ein Croissant pro Person). Im Bad als auch im Zimmer liefen überall Armeisen rum. Das Bett war sehr laut, bei jeder Bewegung hat es Geräusche von sich gegeben und die Wände waren sehr hellhörig, so dass man genau hören konnte was die anderen Gäste treiben.

Das Badezimmer war doch sehr klein, ansonsten die Unterkunft ganz ok. Das Frühstück besteht aus einem Voucher, den man im gegenüber liegenden Café einlösen kann. Es gibt Kaffee oder Tee und ein Croissant bzw ein Stück anderes süßes Gebäck.

À quelques minutes du Vatican

Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits dans cet hôtel et nous avons apprécié sa situation géographique à quelques minutes de la place St-St-Pierre . Nous avons été accueilli chaleureusement par Nicoletta qui s 'est bien occupé de nous et qui nous a même réservé un transport pour l'aéroportle jour de notre départ . Nous avons aussi pris le métro , situé tout près , pour nous rendre à la place d'Espagne ( 3 arrêts seulement ) . Il fut très agréable de marcher dans les ruelles avoisinantes. Nous avons pris notre déjeuner en face et d'excellents repas le soir dans ce quartier . Bref, nous avons adoré notre séjour!
