Top Vatican City Hotel Reviews

Best Western Hotel Rome Airport

8/10 Good

"The building needs a major renovation. The shower head squirted all over the bathroom. The staff was wonderful. The shuttle was convenient. The food / wine in the restaurant was very good."

Hotel Quirinale

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was very spacious with a very large bed. Breakfast was plentiful and with a good selection of meat, cheese and various cereals and pastries!! Of course the usual juices, teas and coffee. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bar/patio. Location wise the hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the Trevi fountain. There are also a few good bars and restaurants nearby. Whilst it is outside the busiest areas this makes it a quieter location despite the usual police and ambulance sirens, but then that’s just Rome !"

UNA Hotels Decò Roma

10/10 Excellent

"I got a wonderful room with a bathtub. I went down for breakfast this morning and being I’m gluten-free. It’s really hard to find food. They made me some special warm croissant sandwiches that were so yummy. The staff was very helpful. The only problem I have is that I have a few ants running around in my room, but I’m assuming that’s because it’s raining outside and they found their way in and the hotel can’t control that. Wonderful room, beautiful room love the bathtub."
