Fabulous hotel! Stayed here for one night with my BF before returning home after a cruise and I wish we stayed here longer. The staff is friendly and accommodating (they made up our room in ~30 minutes even though we arrived a few hours prior to check-in, and offered us coffee while we waited), and the hotel is beautifully decorated. It is obvious upon arrival that whomever owns it has taken great care and consideration into updating and modernizing the entire place with beautiful decor (something I looked for when booking a hotel in Rome, which is hard to find at under 100€/night). Our room was beautiful and spacious, as was our bathroom. Breakfast was included on the 4th floor terrace (terrace is open until 9:30pm for guests to lounge), which had assorted meats, cheeses, pastries, yogurts, fruit, and a wonderful Nespresso machine.
If you're looking to spend some time at the Vatican, this is the perfect place to stay. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to Piazza San Pietro, and (if you're into sightseeing on foot) around another 10 minutes to walk over the bridge to bring you to the part of Rome where all the other sites are (Piazza Novella, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevi, etc). It is about a 10 minute walk from the Rome S. Pietro train station, and (though we didn't use it) the woman at the front desk showed us the bus that ran into the city had a stop right down the street. For the quality of the hotel and the price, Fragrance St. Peter can't be beat! What a gem! read more
