About

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Consistently excellent staff — Staff are rated 9.7 out of 10, and guests repeatedly mention friendly, helpful and attentive service from arrival to departure.
  • Top-rated facilities — Facilities score a perfect 10, and reviews describe clean, modern, well-kept rooms, some of them seemingly brand new.
  • Central, sightseeing-friendly position — The guest house is roughly 0.6 km from Castel Sant'Angelo, close to the shopping district, and within a direct ten-minute walk of the Vatican according to guests.
  • Strong value for the centre — Value is rated 8.6, and the from-price is £78, which makes it a reasonable option for a central stay.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort score is much lower than the rest — Comfort is rated just 3.7, despite many individual reviews mentioning comfortable beds and quiet rooms, so comfort expectations should be checked before booking.
  • Narrow check-in window — Check-in only runs from 13:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals need to plan around the desk hours.
  • No on-site parking listed — Parking is not listed as a facility. One guest notes that paid parking is available nearby, but arrangements would need to be made independently.
  • One critical review of ownership — Most guests praise the staff, but a single review is critical of the owner, saying she seemed more interested in profit than in delivering what the hotel promised.

“The hotel was quite clean, with an excellent central location and beautifully decorated rooms. I really enjoyed the room, especially the large bed. It sat close to the castle and the centre of town, with good restaurants and lots of excellent shopping nearby. I went to Il Piccolo Diavolo for a drink, a moderate distance from the hotel.”
