We stayed 3 nights and the staff was very accommodating to us and arranged transportation for us on 4 occasions. They left plenty of information on a table in our room. I did not notice that we were provided a free bottle of sparkling wine until I read the information on the 3rd day. We enjoyed it that night! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay near the Vatican. It is a short walk to a nearby metro station, as well. The staff were all friendly and professional.

Vatican Relais Rome delivered on all fronts. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and well-informed thanks to proactive and thoughtful communication. The room was immaculate, charming, and quiet—perfect for a restful night after a day exploring the city. And what a location! We could stroll to the Vatican in just a few minutes and also access the metro and nearby shops with ease. Every detail—from the amenities to the value offered—was cohesive, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The staff were great, very accomodating when we ended up having a very late check-in, due to delays at the airport. The location is very convenient for walks to St Peter’s square and the Vatican museum/Sistine chapel, public transport and food options. Reasonable room facilities. The lift to get upstairs to the second floor is small, found it easier to use the stairs.

Great price and stay for the busy area

It is like an apartment building with a receptionist on each floor who buzzes you in. The Filipina ladies are nice. The room is clean. Probably needs new beds considering the heavy traffic for the Vatican all year long. We parked at a paid garage down the street. The room was reasonably priced.
