This is a great hotel to stay at for the cost-conscious! The room was very clean and neat, had a small refrigerator, and great AC. The only things I wish it also had: a microwave, and TV channels in English. I really liked the location overall: about a 15 minute walk to the Vatican, about 7 minutes to a metro station, and many restaurants and small grocery stores nearby. It is a very 'local' neighborhood; it is safe. The staff, while speaking some English, are not overly fluent. But I didn't really have any troubles communicating with them. And they were friendly and helpful.

What we expected

We went to this 3 star hotel because our neighbors stayed there last year. It is exactly what we expected. Price was low, room is very basic, breakfast was simple. Very friendly staff and easy checkin and check out. Metro is 5 minute walk in a quiet neighborhood, with a market just around the corner. Side Note: 1/2019 the taxes raised from 3€ to 4€ Per person per night for 3 star hotels, so 2 people 2 nights I had to pay 18€ at check out.

Great Valur

The hotel is 3 blocks from touristy areas including the Vatican, but has a very residential feel. There are many great restaurants and Gellato shops nearby (L’Archetto for Pizza and Gelateria dei Grachi for dessert can’t be beat). There is a great food store (Castronini) to buy spices, oil, pasta to take home. There is a grocery store & pharmacy around the corner if you need to stock up on edibles/drinks. The hotel is clean and quiet. If you have a big family with young kids...it’s probably not going to be your thing. Hotel is on the 2nd floor, and while there is an elevator, you still need to go up 3-4 steps to reach it (and it’s very small - don’t think a stroller would work too well). For adults looking for a clean place to lay their heads down at night, big fluffy towels, lots of hot water in the shower, and a safe, quiet neighborhood away from all-night areas (everyone seems to disappear after 10pm), but that is AMAZINGLY close to tourist areas & transportation, then this is the hotel you are looking for. The staff are very friendly and sweet - breakfast is delicious (but there are many great options for breakfast where the locals go, like Sciascia Cafe around the corner with the best breakfast mini sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life). The price was so low that I wasn’t expecting much beside a bed, but honestly I would have paid double given how wonderful my stay there was. I will definitely be staying here again if/when I make it back to Rome again.

Cheap, clean, and close to the Vatican

A lovely hotel on the second floor. Only a handful of rooms but all appears very modern and very clean. Friendly staff, small but traditional Italian breakfast, and great coffee. Room was very well turned down each day, and was still able to get in at midnight after a night out. About a 5 minute walk from Lepanto metro station, 2 minutes to an ATM, and 3 minutes to a supermarket. The Vatican is only 1000m away, but the room was very quiet at night. Overall, one of the best hotels I've stayed in.

Great service and location closed to Vatican.

I had a great time staying at Hotel Nautilus. Pros: - it has all the basic things that you need for a short stay - the staffs are very helpful - it's clean and in safe location - local eateries nearby and shops - walking distance to Vatican and Lepanto sub way station cons: - noise from other room you can easily hear especially for loud guest who doesn't care other guest. - ac got broken on our last night of stay this was just unfortunate for us. Overall: We were happy and highly recommended.

Perfect stay in Rome.

Our stay was perfect! The hotel is on the 2nd floor of what looks like an apartment. Very close location to Vatican City and metro stop. The neighborhood is quiet with shopping nearby. They upgraded us to a larger room but our originally booked room was adequate as well. Our room was clean and spacious. The staff was very nice and did everything to attend to our needs. Breakfast was light but good to start the day. The breakfast area is small with just 4 tables but they are happy to bring breakfast to your room. How nice is that! Would definitely stay here again.

Handy for the Vatican

We stayed here for 3 very enjoyable nights on a city break. It's a small hotel, located on second floor of a large building. Rooms were immaculate and modern. Staff were very friendly, speaking some English. Breakfast consisted of croissants, spreads and coffee. The metro is a 5 min walk away, the Vatican less than ten. We walked everywhere though, about 50 mins to the coliseum. Wi-fi wasn't great, but that seemed common across Rome. Best accessed from reception and it was free. I would recommend this hotel. It's budget, so be realistic about what you wish for. But it was very clean, modern and was ideal for our purpose.

Excellent Hotel

This is an excellent hotel that is close to Vatican City, but also within walking distance of the historic center of the city. The hotel is also very close to two subway stations. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful. Although I do not speak Italian, we could easily communicate with the personnel.
