A unique and solid place to stay near the Vatican

This is my favorite place to stay in Rome. Right next to Saint Peter’s Square, clean rooms, very friendly staff, and breakfast is perfect. Also the building is unique and has a beautiful courtyard at the entrance. I also love that they slip the day’s gospel under the door in the morning.

Nice hotel, probably would have been more suited to someone who appreciates the religious aspects of the area. Bathroom was very small, as I use a wheelchair it wasn't really practical.
