amazing stay near vatican!

great locationhelpful staffpowerful air conditioninglimited storage
wow. the location was superb, so close to vatican city! the staff was amazing, always ready to help with a smile. i also really appreciated the powerful air conditioning, a lifesaver during the hot days. the mini fridge in the room was also so useful for keeping drinks cool. i really enjoyed that
one small issue was the limited storage space in the room. i would've loved a bigger wardrobe or more drawers!

mixed feelings about my stay

acceptable locationunclean roomuncomfortable bed
the location was acceptable, close to the vatican museum.
The room was not clean, specifically behind the tv. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in at least a year. the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows seemed old. breakfast offered very few options, disappointing.

excellent locationshort walkgrocery stores
The location was excellent. It was near the Vatican Museum. I found getting around on foot or by taxi easy. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores were within a short walk (about 5 minutes).
The shower stall was a little small. It had only a plastic curtain instead of a proper enclosure.
