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

It isn't the price of a 5 star hotel either though. Wifi was best late at night (past 10 pm) or early in the morning. The breakfast consists of croissants, apples, clementines, toast, and salami and cheese. The bar is good--cappuccinos are 2euros. The staff was so wonderful and thoughtful. The cleaning crew did a great job every day in our room. Lots of nuns in habits here. We stayed on the 3rd floor where there was a chapel. Would stay here on a second trip to Rome.

It was an easy walk to the Metro as well as the Piazza Navona and other sites in the city center. There are some excellent bars and restaurants in the area. What really makes this a 5 star hotel is the staff. They were friendly, responsive, and gave great restaurant recommendations! They happily accommodated us as we unexpectedly got to Rome early and allowed us to keep the same room for our extra night. Staff helped us acquire a ride to the airport, tickets to the AS Roma football match and gave us advice on how to visit all the best sites in Rome. So friendly and helpful, they also left a bottle of wine for us on our last night in Rome! Finally, this is an affordable and wonderful place. Stay here on your next trip to Rome!

Main doors are closed when the building superintendent isn't there. Analog keys for the main door and digital card keys for entering the St Peter Six facility and rooms. We were checked-in by Lina, the friendly and helpful staff who recommended to us Da Romolo (a true Italian experience restaurant) and cuisine to order. Our room, the Leonardo 101, had a view of the busy Conciliazione street but not the noise. Breakfast was Monday to Saturday via De' Penitenzieri (cafe and wine bar) and Sundays inside the location. There is instant coffee and tea with an electric kettle in each room and a much nicer pod espresso machine in the kitchen. The fridge has COMPLIMENTARY water (still and sparkling), sodas (Pepsi and Fanta orange). These are refilled daily by the way. We got a Peroni beer and wines (red and white) during check-in. A decent place to be in Roma. Even recommending this place highly to our friends who plan in visiting this part of Italy.

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.

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.

Because of that, there is a huge pest issue, and you can come back with bed bugs to home. Then i found Casa Tua Vaticano, a Bed and Breakfast place with 9 rooms. Hospitality is beyond expectations, very welcoming!!! I must say more welcoming than my mother. The place is extremely clean, your room is cleaned daily. You will have your breakfast every morning. As you arrive, the crew, especially Tommaso will explain everything how to go to the city, favorite places and such. It is very close to Vatican, 5-6 mins bus, another 5 mins to walk. The busses run right on the same street that the building is in. Even though, if you wanna go to city center, Colosseum, Trevi fountain are less than 25 mins.

It's literally around the corner from the pantheon and we felt safe and it's central to just all the other sites The employees were friendly and the place was clean and they had a vending machine for water which was much needed and they had a little lunch room area with seating which was nice to have Overall it's good value I say Could it be better?

The place was clean (although the main hallway - shared with actual tenants/businesses - reeked of cigarette smoke). Our room was clean. The bathroom seemed new. No frills or thrills (unless the bidet counts?!). Just a stone's throw from the Pantheon, across the street from a Michelin-starred restaurant, this hotel felt 'European' and a bit 'historic'. Only found out last-minute about local taxes/fees (which, to be fair, was a 'thing' at each place we'd stay throughout our vacation) - but they could only be paid in cash? Major issues: walls were paper thin and a family right next to us (with a toddler) made sure to have a lively conversation that went on late into the night. And without any type of fan or central air we had to open a window just to get some (cool) air and now it's deafening between the constant traffic (cars and walking tourists), busboys throwing out recycling at some ungodly hour, the polizia in hot pursuit, you name it. Probably our worst sleep while in Italy. (Cool/friendly staff, though.)
