Room and facilities.

Location was close to Metro

Stayed in September 2024

What I didn’t like about our staying can begin with the fact that at first we thought that it’s a little hotel having the option of breakfast and also the room in the pictures was looking like a little hotel room but it’s an apartment not even it’s a room with a bathroom and that s it and when I tried to revive information about that they didn’t told me that it’s not a hotel they just let me believe whatever I believed, but this could be a language mistake bc it was very hard to communicate with them at the apartment it was an hardworking man waiting for us which is not speaking English at all we barely understood him but when we arrived downstairs it was the owner which is speaking English pretty well but she just opened the front door for us and didn’t came to explain or help us in any way and i don’t understand why. Also until we got there it was difficult to get any informations about anything. Also the breakfast it was a little cafe on the corner of the street from where every morning we were allowed to choose only one croissant and a coffee/juice, they had some sandwiches but they didn’t let us to choose that instead and if we had knew we would choose this option anymore bc like I said there are a lot of places where you can find croissants or sweet things and they are much better and not expensive. I would have like a better communication. The room it’s fine if your coming to Rome to visit like we did bc we were staying in the room only in the night and we were walking around Rome all day but I’m Not recommending to take it with breakfast included is not worth it at all.

What I like the most about the apartment was the location. Right near Vatican City with a lot of bus stations around and also the metro was close. You can find a lot of cafes and restaurants around too. The apartment was clean with a little fridge inside and a tv, but it was getting hotter over day and we couldn’t find the remote for AC and also we didn’t receive any information in how can we use it.

It was in the center near to the Vatican. The breakfast was good. The room is a bit smaller than expected.

BAD POINTS: Please be aware that the owner of this room will charge you cash in advance (roughly 100 Euros per night). This is relatively cheap, but you get what you pay for. The advertisement on Booking.com says that this room has a safe. This is only half-true; there is a safe, but it was broken and not fixed. The advertisement also promises a kettle for making hot drinks. There was no kettle. (Yes, this is a minor point, but being able to make a cup of tea helps). There is no way to cook meals except a foul-smelling microwave. Lastly, there is no way to cool the room; I was here in mid-to-late May, when Rome starts to get hot and humid. There's also no way to keep out the mosquitos and other insects other than keeping the window shut, which doesn't do wonders for getting fresh air. CONCLUSION: If you can afford it, stay somewhere nicer. I wouldn't stay here again.

GOOD POINTS: The location is in the heart of Rome -- about 25 minutes' walk away from the Vatican and 15 minutes' walk away from Ottaviano Metro station (and thus access to the rest of Rome). Hence, it can be noisy early in the morning (as early as 7:30am). However, it quietens down about 8pm. The food was ... well. I received cards for a free 'breakfast' (i.e. a cappuccino and croissant) at a nearby cafe. It wasn't exactly substantial, but it was filling and ... adequate. There was nothing more. I went to a nearby market, the Mercato Trionfal, to buy other essentials - fruit, vegetables, sandwiches - to fill up on while walking around Rome. Luckily, prices for essentials in Italy are very good. The room is tiled throughout and there are no carpets, so it gets quite cold at night (even in summer). An extra blanket was provided, which was welcome. Lastly, the European SIM card for my mobile phone didn't allow me to make calls. For my last day, I asked my host Claudia to book a taxi for the following morning (as I had an early flight to catch). Luckily, she agreed and booked the taxi, which I was very grateful for.

We with my boyfriend didn’t like so many things! First of all the owner asked me when we will arrive and I told him an exact time and he agreed that there is no problem, then at that time we were in front of the building and my boyfriend and I had to wait for about 30-40 minutes until someone came to check us in like before we had called this at least twice. After all this they told us that the room is not ready yet but at least they let us leave our luggage! When I enter in the room I was shocked by the dirt in the room, because they hadn’t started cleaning it even though they knew when we were coming! After a few hours we returned to the room and the truth is that it was not perfectly clean and tidy! I don’t recommend this apartment for a stay of more than one night!

I like that the apartment was nearby the Vatican City and the price was relatively good

It was a scam: The AC did not work well The safe was not working The WiFi didn’t work properly (in the morning never, sometimes late at night) The fridge was not working and… No hot water!! Since I arrived and noted and talked with Carla too many times and the answer always was: it is hot outside, the cleaning guy said that it is ok, I will talk with him and he goes there…but, I think he never even came to our room to check - bc I left a message and some other things blocking the shower and these were in the same position when I came back. 5 days there with really cold baths… I tried to contact Booking in Rome but the call didn’t make it.

Nothing. The best of the property was the guy from the local market (where you got the key) and the guy from Cafe Doria (where you get your breakfast)

We were already in Rome and they cancelled us the the same day! Very unprofessional! They sad we had not confirmed our stay but we had all our confirmations in email.. the told us they did not have any rooms available for us! We were a family of four, parents and 13 and 15 year children and booked room with 4 beds. In the afternoon in Rome we got the final message from Vacation Planet that they did not have room for us! Although we repetedly said we wanted to come!

Stayed in October 2023

Owner changed the reservation 1 day before arriving by shothening 1 day. I had to find acomodation for last night on very short time and on high price of course (due to availability).

Lactation was close to Vatican and about 5 min walk from the metro station, so convinient for visiting around.

The first surprise we have got when the keys from our room I have got in the shop near Vatican planet guest house. I had to pay for our staying by CASH. Nobody warned me about it in advance. What if I didn’t have enough cash that moment? We have ordered staying with breakfast. It was strange to find out that breakfast is just croissant, coffe and juice in the cafe near guest house. No sandwiches, no tea, nothing…. I have paid for the normal breakfast, but haven’t got it. In the kitchen of this guest house was impossible to find any plate or spoon to make breakfast or lunch at the room.

It was good location and clean enough, but….

No contact with owner between 12:00 and 13:00 despite agreeing checking in on 12:00.
