There are also two convenient metro stops nearby, a grocery store, gelato, and restaurants. Residence Candia is like staying in an apartment complex. The room comes with a fully furnished kitchen. A loft room above also indicates that at one time, or possibly now, the units are available for long term stay. Excellent use of space. The roof is available for lounging. On a nice day, I could imagine having dinner out there or smoking a cigarette. Staff is friendly. Housekeeping comes promptly in the morning time. It is not like America where you can tell them to come back later. They will march in and clean while you are still in the room and getting ready. Can't complain. The grounds are in tip top shape. ****** Residence Candia sarà la vostra casa lontano da casa. E 'stato uno degli hotel più conveniente che ho trovato a Roma. Anche se lontano dalle rovine e tale, è in prossimità del Vaticano. Ci sono anche due comode fermate della metropolitana nelle vicinanze, un negozio di alimentari, gelato, e ristoranti. Residence Candia è come stare in un complesso di appartamenti. La camera dispone di una cucina completamente attrezzata. Una sala soppalco sopra indica che anche in una sola volta, o forse ora, le unità sono disponibili per soggiorni di lunga durata. Ottimo uso dello spazio. Il tetto è a disposizione per rilassarsi. In una bella giornata, ho potuto immaginare di avere a cena fuori o fumare una sigaretta. Il personale è cordiale. Servizio di pulizia viene tempestivamente in tempo mattino. Non è come l'America dove si può dire loro di tornare più tardi. Saranno marcia e pulito mentre si è ancora nella stanza e si prepara. Non possiamo lamentarci. I motivi sono in forma punta in alto.

I booked this hotel mainly for the kitchenette, free wifi, private bathroom, and proximity to the…read moremetro for an ok price. The rooms, however, were pretty mediocre.The room was strangely decorated with a green spongy floor, cork walls, pink tiles, and random hooks all over. The bathroom was extremely cramped with a bidet in front of the toilet, so there was no toilet paper holder, so they had to put it on an extremely high shelf. The light switches were oddly placed puzzles and the lights were very dim. There were lights above our bed that stayed dimly lit all night long and we couldn't turn them off. The beds were ok (2 twins pushed together), but my husband had a fluffy pillow and I had a lumpy, flat one. Rooms were supposed to include wifi and tv, but the TV was antenna, and all the stations were fuzzy and in Italian. Wifi barely worked. When we asked the front desk, they knew it didn't work.The worst part though was the smell. At some point the room started to smell like an airplane bathroom. We told the front desk that our room "smelled funny." When we described it, he said "that doesn't surprise me." He offered to move us to a room that was 1/4 the size of our current room, but that was their last effort to rectify the problem. Eventually, I suspected the air conditioner and turned it off. Unfortunately, it was hot, so we had to keep our first floor windows open. This was unpleasant since people standing near the entrance could look into our room and wake us up with loud conversations. As I was trying to checkout to make my train, there was a woman talking to the receptionist, so she told me to wait. As I stood there, another woman looking to checkout came by and jingled her keys. The 1st woman left, and she proceeded to help the woman who came after me. The receptionist was flustered, but I asked her how much. She said "don't rush me so early in the morning. When I gave her money, she had difficulty making change and told me I'm using all her money. This place only gets an extra star for the price compared to other hotels in Rome.

There is a complimentary breakfast served and you can have dinner there too, you just have to give them some notice.

The cathedral alone is a must see. This also displays the Pieta sculpture by Michelangelo. Five stars!

We met our…read moregroup early in the morning and walked to St. Peter's Basilica along with a lot of other tours. Our tour guide was great and we were able to hear him speak with the headphones they gave us at the beginning of the tour. St. Peter's Basilica is gorgeous! So much history and detail to it. We were lucky to have visited it during the Jubilee year which only happens every 25 years. We were able to walk through the Holy Doors. It was very crowded because of the Jubilee year and in some parts of the tour it was difficult to walk because of the crowds. You can also see St. Peter's tomb and take pictures of it from outside of the glass that is protecting it. I think that even if you're not a religious person it's still worth visiting St. Peter's Basilica for its history.

All I really cared about was the location (in Monti), and that they had a triple room available. I have tall people in my family and everyone needs a bed. Absolutely no pull-out-couch nonsense for us. When we arrived, on first glance, I was a little worried and I had to remind myself that website photos ALWAYS make the places look substantially better than they really are, but Isa and Lorenzo's warm hospitality reassured me that everything was going to be ok. The room was tight, hardly any room to walk around, let alone open our suitcases (but we did have three beds in it) but... Immaculately clean! Comfortable beds! Nice sheets! Free bottled water! Wifi that worked immediately! Door that locked! Hot water! I could go on about the things that one would expect as "givens" from a hotel room, but we all know that they don't always happen. Bathroom was small but newly remodeled and immaculately clean. Thrilling! Other important features are air con - CRUCIAL in Rome after June 1, and triple paned windows that let in no street noise from the sidewalk or busy Via Cavour outside. This is definitely a budget option, but in a city as crazy expensive as Rome, it's a rare find. I completely recommend staying here, especially if you are like us and are out constantly out of your room anyway. The hosts are so genuinely concerned your stay is comfortable and the neighborhood is fantastic - much appreciated!
