Very Good

This location is perfect for anyone wanting to see main attractions in Rome. It’s steps away from entrance to Vatican and scenic walks to all the favourite sites.
Very secure building. Close to grocery store, coffee shops and abundant restaurants
Location location location!!!! It is less than one block to Vatican Museum.
Near by are multiple restaurants. If on budget, the dairy sedation of supermarket around the corner has enough choices @ very inexpensive prices. I bought 2 lemon chicken with mushrooms, which only costs less than 3.5 Euros. It would also be good options after one long day when not feeling to eat in the restaurant.
Perfect location (2 mins to Vatican) (40 mins to Trevi Fontain by walk), metro in 5 mins, bus stops in a minute from the hotel. Clean and quiet. Many places to eat delicious food nearby. Recommend
I stayed here by myself. My room was attractive & updated. Glad to have a window. Small refrig. WiFi. The bathroom was very nice. The stand alone shower was typical in a small space. Good water supply. I was very satisfied. Safe neighborhood for sure. A block to the Vatican Wall & entrance to Vatican museum. A great restaurant. Friendly bar. Gelato & breakfast place all with a few!! minutes walk.

How did this have the stars/reviews it has?
1. It states the property would contact you 24hrs before check in. They never contacted me. I messaged them multiple times with our arrival time. NO RESPONSE!
2. Arrived a couple hours later than our arrival time. Still NO response from them to my messages. No email from them about how to check in. Door is locked on outside. Again, no response from them with codes or anything to get in. No number to call. Waited 15 minutes until a couple came out. We went in. Wandered around, asked numerous people who lived there and no one knew the "hotel". Looked on second floor, nothing. We were getting ready to leave the building when a guy came out and asked if we needed help. Turns out it was the guy who runs the hotel. He let us in. Told him I tried messaging multiple times and no response. Tells us room wont be ready for another 20 minutes. I told him thats unacceptable. Check in is at 10am and it says on there the max late time they could be ready is 12pm. Here it is almost 1pm (13:00). He could not understand enough english and sent the cleaning girl out. I explained to her. She said 10 more minutes. Finally 15 minutes later I kicked her out of the room because we had tickets for the Basilica and could not be late. She was rude.
3. The room is "dirty". The shower door is broken and falls on you. Mold around the shower. Bed is very hard.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. Extremely unprofessional!
c'est parfait pour aller visiter le musée du Vatican. Également pour Rome, puisque à côté du métro. Sécuritaire. Très propre et la salle de bain moderne.

Excellent accueil mais confort à revoir
Excellent accueil, chambre idéalement située (au pied du musée du Vatican et donne sur une cours intérieure donc aucun bruit).
Bémols: matelas à ressorts donc mal de dos assuré au réveil, de plus nous n'avions qu'un seul rouleau de papier toilette et déjà entamé pour 2 personnes pour 2 nuits (un peu juste !), enfin il n'y avait plus de savon dans le distributeur de la douche, nous avons donc du le retirer et mélanger avec de l'eau...
The accommodation is very nice. Andrea is flexibel and friendly. He can give you tips about Rome. The accommodation is situated in an very cosy neighborhood in Rome near the Vatican. There are a lot of shops, bars and restaurants. With the public transport round the corner. Rome is at your feet. By a few tickets (100 minutes drive in public transport voor 1.50 euro) at the tabaco shop, kiosk or bar and do the rest walking through Rome. Use the app Romabus. You can find your way easy. Sort out how the app works at home with a map of Rome. that saves a lot of time. If you want to visit the big attractions book your tickets on internet. Then your sure to get acces. Be prepared for waiting time to come in. Rome is busy and they are not cleaning the streets and remove the garbage well. Lots of people are trying to sell you anything (especially tickets). If you can deal with that, Vativana Ottaviani is a good place to start and to rest with and on your trip. If you also book breakfast you get a good one (Italian way) at the bar at the corner with you voucher. At the day of leaving you can use the day en leave your luggage at the accommodation and pik it up later.
The shower in the appartement is not big. I (1.92 meter and 100 k) could not reach my feet bending. Tip for Andrea: remove the bidet and expand the shower.
Have a verry nice stay in Rome for a good price.
non ho soggiornato perchè nonostante avessi prenotato non avevano la camera. Fortunatamente l'agenzia Hotel.com mi ha trovato un'altra sistemazione anche più confortevole, purtroppo il tempo perso per raccordare il B&B e l'agenzia oltre allo spostamento mi hanno fatto saltare tutti i pian della serata
B&B vicinissimo ai musei vaticani (solo una scalinata). I locali sono molto puliti e davvero arredati con gusto. La camera Cipria da noi utilizzata non è molto grande ma davvero accogliente. Il signor Andrea è una persona davvero gentile e disponibile e la posizione strategica del condominio hanno reso il ns soggiorno davvero "una piccola favola". Sicuramente lo consiglierei e, sicuramente, se torno a Roma andrò nuovamente in questa struttura. La metro è a circa 450 metri e la zona è servita di posti in cui mangiare a pranzo e cena. La colazione con cornetto e cappuccino viene servita in un locale bar di fronte alla struttura dove sia il personale che la scelta di prodotti è veramente piacevole. In sostanza solo commenti positivi.
