Online photos of hotel exterior were completely deceiving.
Hotel is actually a small building situated in a courtyard surrounded by apartment balconies, many with laundry hanging - for days.   Some barking dogs, screaming neighbors.  Bars on some windows.

Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly from the minute we arrived till we left. Hotel was easily accessible from the train station, and walking to the Vatican took a few minutes. Hotel facilities were well maintained, and we appreciated having the air conditioner for warmer spring days. Beds were comfortable and housekeeping made sure that everything was clean and tidy each of the days we were there. Absolutely recommend if you're doing a religious visit to the Vatican, or just to Rome in general.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but with it being the peak of the hot season, there were some ants wandering around the bedroom and bathroom throughout our 3 day stay…not enough to be a total deterrent for us but enough to be an inconvenience as I had to apply strategies of how and where to place my luggage and toiletries to keep the ants out. Again, no biggie, just an inconvenience I had not expected to encounter for the price paid. I did not bring the ants to the attention of the staff as I had noticed that ant powder had been placed in some corners and areas between the floor and baseboard already, so I knew they were already doing all they could to control the issue. The bathroom was clean but is getting pretty tired and should be updated to fit the asking price of the room. The mattress had divots which is problematic for stomach sleepers. Overall, the room was okay, but the price is too high for the standard of accommodations offered in my opinion. The staff is doing there job, and doing it well. The owner of their hotel should adjust the pricing to match the accommodations, or if not, then the accommodations should be upgraded.

Clean and comfortable - updating needed in parts

SERVICE: Very good. Couldn’t fault the staff at all. LOCATION: 15 minute walk to St Peter’s Square. Shops and cafes within five minutes. Not suitable for anyone in a wheelchair as there are steps into the hotel. FOOD: Only had breakfast (€5 each) which for the price was amazing! ROOM: Clean but needed some work/ updating. The shower head looked rusty, and some of the doorframe in the bathroom was badly water damaged. The bedroom door didn’t close properly, which left us a bit uneasy. PRICE: For the money, I would stay again as it’s easy to access Rome, comfy, and good service.
