Backboard of bed was made of some faux leather that would shed everywhere if you touched it at all. Slightly difficult to find even with specific instructions, but staff were responsive when texted for assistance getting into the apartment for the check-in (despite not seeing anyone the entire time). Try to be cautious/informed when walking around outside, as there were many tourist trap restaurants, cafes, and tour guides, but also many hidden gems.

Ideal location, room was spacious, had a nice view, and pretty clean. Comfortable bed and sofa, working TV and AC, good Wi-Fi and plenty of plug sockets. Shared kitchen with cold water and fridge, and the private en-suite had a great shower and bidet. Got a good last minute deal and saved a bit of cash on the stay.

The shower is horrible, don't count on having a nice relaxing time in the bathroom, pressure is nothing, temperature keeps changing. I found lots of dust in the room, I'm usually not fussy about it but when you put your headphones on the bedside table and have to blow on it because of so much dust it's not a good sign. After telling the staff, it was still dusty. The head of the bed is falling apart and we would find little piece of the fake leather everywhere on the bed or us - a bit annoying.

Location is amazing, 2 min away from the entrance of the Vatican. Check-in was super smooth and the room would be cleaned every 2 days with fresh towels. We enjoyed the AC being away from the bed so we could leave it on during the night. We loved the neighborhood. Access to a kitchen was nice. One of the less expensive options for a long stay in Rome with the best location.

The AC was not working properly it was hot as hell staying here in mid June. It could be cleaned better.

It's location.

Hot water wasn’t always available; it was cold in the room at night; staff weren’t very friendly

Not the hotels fault just a warning for others who like me don't have any phone data or wifi planned in advance coming into Italy be sure to organise check in details and read the owners instructions before you leave your last wifi zone, I did not so checking in wasn't as streamlined ( my fault )

Before booking I extensively read the reviews for Residenza Sistina and I was a little worried but it seemed ok and acceptable, I have completed a 7 day stay and its more than adequate Phenomenal location for me as the vatican was where I spent the bulk of my trip + many good restaurants right on your doorstep and the price was unbeatable 450 Euros for the week, staff replaced my sheets, towels + emptied the bins 5 times out of the 7 days which is great Wifi was good I never had any trouble with the connection and the noise was mitigated playing a 10 hour sounds of the rain from my phone in the corner of the room People really stress minor details stains and marks within their photos, even an old bedhead but it's really not a problem and the bed was absolutely not itchy or crawling with bugs as some others claimed, for the location and what I paid for it Ill happily do it again.

Everything was great, we stayed 4 days but the room was cleaned only one time (the second day). The pressure of the water at the shower was so low and it changed temperatures every 2 minutes. The small toilet seat was clogged.

The street is very noisy at night but we solved that with a couple of earplugs.

The location was perfect! Room was a very good size and had everything we needed.

Rome like many major cities is noisy. Our room had 2 windows which meant it was very noisy. Better with a courtyard room, or room with one window. Shower wasn't Fantastic, maybe better in other rooms.

Location was great. Facilities good. Comfortable room. Good value.

Not comfortable bathroom. Small cabin. Uncomfortable shower. The water in the bathroom sink was barely running.

The room is ok. Comfortable bed. Relatively good location to Vatican museums.

The wall and the furniture should renovated

It’s near the metro, groceries and Vatican museum

Dust clots under bed, previous room owners left something stinky in the fridge, shared kitchen is broken and didnt have enough essential utensils, shower was very small - couldnt even properly wash feet

Great place and cheap price. AC was a life saver.

Stayed in July 2023

- It wasn't really clean, the bathroom was dirty - The street was extremely noisy - Walls need renovation

- Safe neighborhood, perfectly ubicated, near to the Vatican that allows for walking around city center - Bed was fine - a minimarket very close - Close to the metro and bus station

Wifi was a bit weak

The room and location was ideal for a short stay near the Vatican

It was dirty 🙁

Location is great (super close to Vatican) and the staff helped me with check in and other details I needed.

Check out is too early. 10-30 I actually have never seen earlier

The owner was very polite and helpful.

Watch out for the sink; it has no filter in the drain so something small can fall in.

Max (owner of the property) communicates clearly and makes sure you get in your room. cleaning service was superb, I came back to find everything replenished and my clothes folded. Mind you, I only stayed for three nights.
