About Emmaus

Lying a mere one hundred yards from Piazza San Pietro and the spiritual home of the Catholic Church, there is no 3-star Hotel in Rome as well placed as the Hotel Emmaus for great access the Vatican and all its treasures.

With views of the imposing yet graceful dome of St Peter's from our guestrooms, this 3-star Rome accommodation offers an ideal location for pilgrims and tourists alike, with easy access into the rest of the historical centre too, just across the noble and ancient River Tiber, which weaves through the city as it does between history and mythology.

The very best part about this hotel is the location. It is right by the Vatican and very convenient. It’s a historic building so the hotel is older as well - this is definitely not a modern chain hotel experience. But it was cool, clean & comfortable in the Rome summer and a good value as well.

El hotel tiene muy buena locacion, buenos restaurantes alrededor el staff especificamente enrique en el front desk fue servicial, pero el hotel esta demasiado sucio el area del ascensor escaleras llenas de polvo a mi hija pequeña hasta le ocasiono alergia los cuartos muy deteriorados. Mal olor el en el primer piso. Dejo este review porq siento q solo con mejorar la limpieza y ciertos detalles el hotel pudiera ser bueno

The best thing about this Hotel is its location and proximity to St. Peter’s Square, restaurants, and transportation. Breakfast was only pastries and cereal. The staff that worked the night shift called my room at 2:30am to inform that a taxi which I did not request was waiting for me. I explained that I did not request for a taxi and he became upset and condescending. The next morning when I approached him about it, there was no apology until I demanded one.

Good value for money in Rome centre, very close to Vatican. Easy walk distance to St. Peter plaza. Plenty of shops, restaurants and grocery shops nearby. Taxi rank at the hotel front door.

Hotel facilities and hotel rooms for sure require modernisation and refreshment, however all is in order.
Easy access, very friendly staff with professional service and support to hotel guests.
Francesca at the reception supported us with car park. Thank you!

Excelente atencion. El hotel esta a 7 minutes caminando del Vaticano. Cuartos muy limpios y Comodos , desayuno esta incluido. Tenia un tour antes de las 7 de la mañana y me dieron acceso al desayuno antes de las 7;00 am solo por ese dia, algo que aprecio mucho. Este es mi hotel para mi proximo viaje. Muchas gracias a todo el personal del hotel por que gracias a su excelente trabajo estuve bien atendida y comoda.

I had an earlier tour scheduled before 7:00 am. Miguel one of the receptionist offered to accommodate my breakfast just for one day. The next morning l had access to my breakfast before 7:00 am.
I really appreciate it. I am extremely happy with my stay . I will be going back next summer with a couple of friends. Something that l should add some of their personal speak English, Italian and Spanish. Something very convenient because my friends who will be travelling with me next year only speaks Spanish.

It's an older hotel, but most, at the money asked, are. Has a last century charm. Great location for tourists. Some reviews said issues with A/C, problems with shower, but we had no issues. Fit our needs as tourists in Rome to site-see, not to relax. 5 min walk to St Peter Square (crosswalk underground for main street cross to Vatican, it's not marked, we found it last day). As you exit hotel, to the left, few door over, great restaurant, decent prices. The one to the right we did not like. Have a great stay!

Has false information on their property. They say they have valet parking for €40 and that there is offsite free parking structure.
However, they do not have valet parking and the free parking off site is the street parking. In addition, I got an email saying that I should receive a free bottle of wine with my stay.
When I showed the front desk concierge, he laughed and said we don’t have that. He was very belittling and condescending.
On a positive note, the hotel is about five minutes away from Vatican City, which is very convenient.

The hotel is starting to show some signs of aging but the rooms are clean and we has lots of room inside. Our only issue was on our last evening we had difficulty maintaining hot water in the shower. The hotel is located 3 minute walk from St Peter’s and walking distance to most attractions in Centro Storico. Would definitely stay here again.

(Jan 2024) as previous reviews stated, radiator heater turns off around midnight so temperature does drop throughout the night. You get what you paid, so dont expect much. Building is outdated but everything works as intended (including a vintage elevator lift) Its perfect if you need somewhere simple to crash and you will be spending most of the day out. If you prefer to spend time in your hotel and want the amenities, don't book here. Bar isnt a bar just bottles on the shelf to check the search results box. Very conveniently located close to Vatican City and taxi stand right ooutside. Several simple restaurants few minutes walking distance ans several convenient store downstairs for water juice beer, etc.
Breakfast lady was rude but you only see her a few minutes a day. Rest of the staff is friendly and nice. Remember, you get what you paid for.

Despite its location, a walking distance, from the Vatican, my money would’ve been better spent going a little farther and staying in a nicer and safer hotel. I would’ve immediately taken my business elsewhere. However, we arrived in Rome late that evening, and we needed to rest. Where do I start? As soon as you enter the lobby you see dirty sofas in the waiting area. The carpet is filthy and it smelled of old moisture. I’ve been in the many antiquated hotels but the conditions here were unacceptable. We were on the third floor in a room across the hall from wallpaper that was peeling, rusty pipes, exposed wiring. Our room was next to a family who had an infant baby crying. The doors were so old and thin that you can hear conversations in the other rooms. In the morning, I heard 4-5 other alarms going off in the same hallway. The bedroom smelled of moisture, and as you open the bathroom door, it smelled like sewer. We had a sleep with the fan on in the bathroom to keep the smell from permeating into the sleeping area. I didn’t sleep at all because I can hear steps down the hallway. We arrived at midnight. I had to leave our room and take a walk outside because the smell was making me nauseous. I endure the polluted smell of Rome to clear my senses before entering the hotel to sleep. We took off the top cover and slept, set the alarm at 6, and immediately checked out.

Even though we communicated at least two days in advance to try to correct our mistake. They would not bu budge/no refund for a day less there.

Great Vatican location

The location is great if you’re planning to visit the Vatican. It’s literally a 5 minute walk from hotel. I recommend going late at night 9-10 pm before they close the gates.. it’s beautiful. The hotel itself is a bit dated (room keys are not electronic)and facilities are adequate.We appreciate the architecture and style. Free breakfast is great. Staff was friendly and great. A couple of good restaurants and convenience store right outside the hotel. Another perk is that taxis are right outside the front door.

Stayed at this hotel for four days. My stay was well, had no issues! I was traveling solo the hotel stuff a very friendly the breakfast was nothing spectacular. However, the cappuccinos were amazing! It’s about 15 minute walk from Trastevere, and about 12 minutes another direction to the hop on hop off sight seeing bus. I believe stop 5, on Piazza Di Pointe St. Angelo; about 10 min walk to the Vatican. I felt completely safe in either direction that I walked. The bus is just right around the corner if you choose to take that lots of restaurants, cafés shops. So much to do and everything was local and in walking distance.

The hotel location was perfect if you visit St Peter’s Basilica. But we can hear all the noise, from vehicles outside to our next door. Our last night was a nightmare, the front desk doesn’t have a control, all these teenagers was soo noisy in the middle of the night up until 2:00am and we are leaving our hotel at 3:30am for our next day flight back home.

Perfect location and that's it.

Location was very good but the room itself was tiny not comfortable (heating was inefficient). In fact the AC remote batteries were dead and had to call reception to replace them. Staff tried to make it work but were unsuccessful. The room was cold, dark and literally felt like a cave. Parking was a nightmare, if you are driving to this location with your own car it's better to look for some other hotel. The staff asks you to find your own parking on street which took me almost an hour and about a kilometer away. The other option is private parking which costs 30 Euros a night. Breakfast if forgettable.. Overall not at all a pleasant stay.
