    Check-in went fine and the receptionist was nice. Unfortunately we were assigned a different room with respect to my initial booking. There were 4 adults in total (3 arriving together for first 2 nights and then my son joining us for the remaining one). We were not given an extra set of keys and this created understandable problems since we were not always together and created great problems with my son (a 24 year old will not be limited time-wise!!). The bathroom was quite a problem too. Upon arrival the noise from the flushing of toilet and opening/closing of water taps was unbelievable and the last day there was an awful clogging of the entire system. I am very sorry that we left the bathroom in an unavoidable mess but this was not our fault. We called a receptionist mentioning the issue but no-one managed to pass by. By the way, I also wish to mention that we were not able to take any showers during our stay...

    As I said, location was ok. Breakfast not available and room so-so....

    We had a kettle in the room but no cups or other facilities. We had a fridge but the flex wasn't long enough to plug it in. We had a wardrobe but couldn't access it as an extra bed was in the way. When we arrived we had to register at a different address, which was difficult to find.

    The location was good and close to Metro.

    Horrible. Do not recommend. If you have no other choice, spray the room with bug spray.

    There was a bedbug infestation in my room which has caused enormous problems for myself, my work and put other people at risk. About once an hour the wifi would stop working properly started requesting many sign-ins over and over again for about 15 minutes.

    The staff were smooth about check in

    EVERYTHING ELSE. The check-in process was extremely difficult. The advertising on the website was extremely deceptive. Scam like. The ac didn’t work. Not private. Lights broken. Smelled horrible of cigarettes. We specifically asked for a room (and paid for) with a balcony facing the Vatican - there was no view. The Wi-Fi did NOT work as we had a shared router between several other rooms. The keys were confusing and not clear - very sticky in the locks. Linens were not clean. Bathroom was tiny. When we checked in, other guests came out of their room agreeing to the scam.

    Close to Vatican. That’s the ONLY positive.

    BED BUGS IN THE BED! Total scam!

    THERE WERE BED BUGS IN THE BED! WE COULDN‘T SLEEP! I Asked the owners to give us a proper room without bed bugs, because we were intimidated pf all the reviews. Turns out they are true. The rooms are nasty and full of bugs. Also they changed our room from our booking and it doesn’t look like what they advertise online. Worst hotel ever! DO NOT BOOK!

    The Hotel is well located near the Vatican and is in a nice area with a lot of shops and restaurants.

    We booked a deluxe room and we received a standard room. When I enetered the room , I was told that I received one of the best standard rooms, however the room didn t look like any of the ones presented as deluxe room. Even though I sent a printscreen with the type of the room that I booked mentioning *deluxe room* , I was told that I booked a standard room. It was very unprofessional.

    Good location

    Don't book this fake-picture rip-off!!!

    • Stayed 6 nights

    What we booked according to the decription and did NOT get: - 20 sqm large deluxe bedroom - modern furniture (really nice pictures, which were obviously faked!) - modern, clean, daylight bathroom - shared kitchen (or any kind of kitchen at all) - couch in the room - kettle, coffee machine, safe Instead we got the follwing: - realocation into a different accomodation (we booked Vatican Heart, but ended in White Vatican with different address) - small room (max 14 sqm) full of old furniture, barely space to walk or put luggage for two persons - room was not looking like on the pictures at all: different size, different bed, different furniture, different bathroom, ... - uncomfortable beds - noisy street - old bathroom, broken shower with mold - wardrobe filled with wet, stinky towels (it took hours to get the smell out of the room). We put these towels in the corridor and informed the staff, but they kept laying there for two more days We complained about the room, but the staff was not interested and kept claiming, it was the same standard as advertised, which was definitely not true (you can tell from the pictures we share). We are sure that the pictures of the advertised room at booking.com were taken from the internet and the room does not exist, because the staff claimed it was "under maintenance" and we could not visit it. I specifically asked for a kettle, but did not receive one in six days of our stay although I was pregnant and wanted to drink tea. To conclude, we will never come back and nobody should book this fake-picture rip-off, as it is totally not worth the money we paid (100 euro per night and we did not get any compensation for this fraud)!

    Nothing. Not even the location was as good as advertised.

    • Stayed 8 nights

    1. The actual address is different from the listing. 2. The property pictures are from the different property (Bait-and-Switch). 3. The receptionist was no help.We asked for trauma emergency room (broken finger) and he provided address of the eye doctor. 4. No room cleaning. We were staying for 8 nights - 0 times cleaning. 5. The room was not cleaned with visible dirt from the previous occupants. 6. There was only 1 chair, no table. The furniture is old and beaten up. 7. The shower drain was blocked. 8. The faucet was loose and leaking water on the sink countertop and down on the floor. it was secured, after we called the receptionist, but it was still leaking water on the countertop, making a lake there. 9. There was no ventilation in the room, that was causing a water condensation on the walls and the wall paint was pealing off in some places. 10. The window was facing a busy street with a lot of traffic noise. We had to sleep with closed window and and wake up several times over night, to open it up and get some fresh air.

    The good thing is location. Right next to Vatican City. It's worth mentioning here, that, after we asked, they gave us an electric kettle and an iron.
