Great location, very clean.

Best Location and so clean!! Love it!
Elaina
Very safe property right by the Vatican. Near many restaurants and walking distance to everything. Very easy to get a taxi using the Freenow app. Check in was a breeze. My code didn’t work at first and they were responsive within seconds via WhatsApp and I got right in. Very clean and quiet. I would definitely stay here again!
Micaela
The location was very convenient for me. I was able to walk to preferred destinations, and it felt very safe.
EBITO PATRICK
This is a wonderful property to stay if visiting Rome, especially the Vatican. The atmosphere is conducive for rest and relaxation. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. I enjoyed my time there. Bravo.
Cynthia
I stayed for three nights at PapavistaRelais while in Rome and would book this place again when I come back to Rome. You go up a flight of stairs and you are at the Vatican Museum; St Peter’s Basilica is a 10-15 minute walk. There are multiple restaurants in the area and you can walk to the metro. The room is huge; clean and beautiful with a big bathroom. I highly recommend this place.

The bed was amazing! The property was clean and we felt very safe there for being so close to the Vatican. Need to upgrade the public area and have a few more amenities. However for the price it was nice!

Great Oasis in Rome
PapaVistaRelais was the perfect place to stay. Close to the Vatican, good coffee and gelato! Very friendly and helpful in answering any kind of question we had.
HappyCustomer
So close to everything and awesome staff!
So our travel itinerary got completely screwed up because of a cancelled flight, so we didn't get to enjoy our full time in Rome, but the staff at Vista was constantly in contact with us trying to make whatever they could easier on us. Stefania was so incredibly sweet and made it so easy for us to get in and out with our crazy arrival and departure times. I felt like I was talking to an aunt who really cared about me to make sure I was ok and would arrive safely. The room was also so clean and had everything we needed, not to mention the location -- SO close to everything. We just walked everywhere and used the train for anything that wasn't in walking distance. Easy peezy. Thanks Stefania and staff for a great experience!!
Amanda
Excellent stay!
What a gem! After reading positive reviews I decided to book and it didn't disappoint. Perfect location for the Vatican, close to buses and the Metro and just overall great. Stefania was very friendly and helpful and the place itself was cosy and clean. The only downfall was the breakfast was a bit limited but that aside I would definitely recommend staying here!

A little gem in the heart of the city
Superb location right next to the Vatican yet quiet and calm. Stephanie lovely. She sees you as a person not a booking. Breakfast plenty of variety. Tea coffee available in room. Milk in fridge just outside room. Would recommend.

Great location and friendly staff who were very helpful.
Maria C
Home away from home feel.
I felt at home from the moment I walked ir. Stefania was so nice and helpful when i needed directions and anything else. The only thing i would cahnge is a more thorough spot cleaning of the bathroom. I mean corners, where the walls meet the floor erc. Places where not many people look.

Less touristy, more local
Quick stay, but very good! Excellent service, location, price.

Very Enjoyable
Quaint six room hotel, more like a Bed and Breakfast. Very pleasant staff, excellent location to the Vatican Museum. Would stay again.
Debra
Very Pleasant Stay!
Went with another couple and we all had a great time. More a B&B atmosphere than a hotel. Great staff working there to make our stay in Rome a very pleasant one. Excellent location for visiting the Vatican.
Joseph
Nice hotel
It was conveniently located and easy to walk to st peter's and the vatican museums. Lots of good restaurants of all sorts were nearby they called a taxi for us. The place was nice
A. E.
not hotel...
Unfortently you can think it is hotel ..but it is realy department that become rooms to rent for a day. Nice clean room. Bad enterance...no real lobby....basic basic breakfast. ...nice people in the desk when you come....the desk not always open close at night..
Fernando
OK but...
This is a B&B that I picked because of its proximity to the Vatican Museum. Literally is just steps away from the entrance to the Vatican Museum. The neighborhood is quiet and safe but there are no decent places to eat close to the hotel. The breakfast was complete but nothing delicious, just plain grocery store stuff. The room was clean but there was a lot of mold in the shower. Rome was very hot even by the end of September and knowing that is why we booked a place with A/C ... well having an A/C and getting a cool room are two different things. Our room was always very hot since the cooling system does not work properly. To make it worst, we didn't have power for many hours (including part of the night) and we didn't get any kind of refund or discount! I would not repeat this place nor recommend it.
Angela
Fantastic stay again at PapaVistaRelais
This was our third stay at PapaVistaRelais and it did not disappoint. It is in a great location and has restaurants, a great Carrefour supermarket and bus stop nearby. The Sit bus stop from the airport is a 10 minute walk or bus ride away. The staff are fabulous and really helpful and friendly. We took our daughters with us on our recent visit and they loved it there. The bedrooms are well appointed, with everything you need including a fridge, wifi, breakfast, tea/coffee, lovely bathroom. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Cozy and comfortable hotel overlooking Vatican
I've stayed at PapavistaRelais for three nights in July 2015. My overall impression of the hotel and its staff is excellent! From the first day till the last day I felt very welcomed and relaxed being there. Receptionist Lidia provided amazing service giving lots of tips on sightseeing in Rome, making arrangements for the early check-out and being very friendly and quick to help with any questions. Also the lady working on the bar was very kind and friendly. I've enjoyed the room I stayed in with nice views on the streets of Rome and Vatican Museum. It was designed with style and taste and had all the needed facilities in. The hotel felt not too busy at that time leaving much room for rest of customers. Being located very close to the tube station was convenient for a tourist and also had a lot of places to eat and shop nearby. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel with beautiful rooms and great staff at an affordable price.

Tidy place, lovely location
Staying here was lovely! Perfect location right next to the Vatican Museum and not far from the Metro station. It was cozy and the front desk girl was sweet and helpful--she told us the very best place to get gelato! Our only complaints were 1) the bed was the hardest one we'd slept on out of six hotels we stayed at on our trip (though it was manageable), and 2) the maid service was always in our room--like three times a day! There was no chain to lock them out, so we would often use the Do not Disturb sign, but it was odd how frequently they came in. They always took the electricity card out when they were in our room, so we could always tell, and it happened more often than we thought was necessary. Other than that, the room was definitely clean from all those visits! And it was quite a pretty little place. Our favorite was the breakfast--it was excellent.

Cracking hotel
This place is right on the doorstep of the Vatican. On the 3rd floor of a block (there is a lift) it has a coded entry for when you get back of an evening etc. Staff very helpful on where to visit and eat etc. Room very clean and well equipped with sky and WiFi. Breakfast was continental and tasty. Room serviced daily and had air con. Bed was a touch soft and pillows a little lumpy but hey, if that's my only complaint then that ain't bad eh! Would definitely go back and stay here again.

The staff at this bed a breakfast was amazing!! Especially Federica who helped us navigate our way around. The only issue we had was the beds were extremely hard, other than that the breakfast and guidance was amazing!! Thank you for the wonderful time.

Nice weekend in Rome
We spent a weekend in December in this hotel - it is located on 3rd floor in old building, around ~50m from entrance to Vatican Museums, around ~10min walk from St. Peter's Square and around around ~20min walk from SIT Bus stop (Transfer to Fiumicino airport). The hotel is very small (6 or 7 rooms) but it provides all you need during a stay in Rome: nice, clean, well equipped and quite spacious room with clean bathroom, good sleeping bed, free wifi internet, normal breakfast and of course really great and very kind service (e.g. our flight was much delayed and we reached the hotel in the middle of night, but there was no problem with that - we get all the instructions needed, and next day a warm welcome :). Moreover we were supposed to stay there in September, but we had to postpone our stay - fortunately the staff was very helpful in this matter).
To sum up - PapavistaRelais is a good choice (good value for money) if you would like to stay for few days in Rome, in nice atmosphere, in safe neighbourhood and have all the sights not so far away from hotel...
The only cons: shower gel enough only for 1 day.

Papa Vista is in a great location for the Vatican museum/St Peter Basilica/Vatican.The staff very friendly, helpful breakfast was provided with your stay.
Papa Vista is a small establishment that allows the staff to know their guests by face/name it adds a more personal touch that was very nice. Transportation trains/buses was very close/easy to get around. Would stay their again.The rooms are a nice size the beds were not as comfortable as I would have liked but it wasn't terrible.

Impossible to find
We got to venice and started looking for the hotel, nobody seemed to know that hotel, we walked and walked, and walked and after 2 hours of walking with our luggage up and down bridges and stairs, we finally found it. The first thing we saw was the horrible entrance to the building that appeared to be on construction, then I found out that the hotel was on the third floor, NO ELEVATOR and about 60 stairs to climb. I would definitely never come back to this hotel.
Andy
Friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable
Overall I was happy with PapaVista. It seems like they only have six rooms, so it felt very intimate staying there. I really appreciated the umbrellas since it was so rainy during our trip. The hotel is really close to the Vatican, but everything else is a bit of a hike, or a short bus or metro ride.
TiffJo
Fantastic!
This hotel was beautiful, and the staff was so helpful. The hotel overlooked the Vatican, it lived up to the name Papavista.
Tucktuck
Excellent service and value.
Very comfortable and clean rooms. Excellent location next to Vatican Museum and 5-10 min walk from a metro station. Service was VERY helpful to provide tips on how to get around Rome and what to see.

Great B&B
I can not say enough about this Great B&B. We have stayed at several B&B's in the last couple of years and this one is at the top of the list. The staff went out of their way to make everything perfect. On mornings that we were leaving early for trips they prepared a breakfast tray the night before and left in our room since their regular breakfast bar was not open that early. The loacation was perfect for the Vatican Tour. We were at the foot of the steps to the Vatican Museum. Always helpful on mapping routes, transportation or whatever. Keep in mind that this is not the center of town but very close to the Vatican.We love to walk and covered most of Rome by foot from here. The Metro and Buses are only a few blocks away if walking is a problem. This place is one of the Best, and all of the staff will go out of their way for whatever you might need.

Wonderful Experience!
I can't say enough great things about the staff and accomodations of the Papavista Relais. I was amazed at the amenities included for such a reasonable room rate. But what really makes this hotel stand out and would make me definitely book it again if I am in Rome was the hotel staff. Due to Huricane Sandy we had a bunch of last minute travel changes and I was able to keep in constant email communication with them and they were so helpful, responsive and understanding. Since they knew the storm was causing us to travel for two days straight they even allowed us check in to our rooms at 6 AM (even though their normal check in time is late afternoon) for no additional charge. The other thing about this hotel is the location. You are literally right next to the Vatican Museums and in the middle of all the action of Rome. I highly recommend this hotel if you will be in Rome.
