Cardinal Hotel St. Peter  

Great hotel. A 30 minute walk to the Vatican. Good service by staff and a great breakfast. Views of St Peter's Basilica from our room. Free parking was very convenient and ample.

Excellent shower. Quiet room. Friendly staff.

Connecting door to next room was not soundproof. Wardrobe doors were broken on arrival. Breakfast disappointing. Long way from nearest metro station.

Cardinal Hotel St. Peter was an outstanding value. There is ample free parking (a premium in Rome), a nice pool, and three spas on the roof of the hotel which had a beautiful view of St. Peter's Basilica Cupola. The rooms have a nice balcony with table and chairs. Bathroom was very nice. All in all, a great value for the cost! I'll be back!

Not a four star as everything is becoming very worn and needs updating. Fittings in room were a little loose and beds not that great but then again if you like hard beds then thats fine. Bed was nice and big however. Service at hotel was very good and helpful at all times. Location not top as you have to use taxis to get back at night. It is currently a fine 3 star and needs to be updated. Breakfast was shocking though so avoid it at all cost and eat out. Overall above average but probably wont stay again.

The location, service and cleanliness of the hotel were good and adequate to the price. Breakfest were ok, as well.

Hvac was not working at all. The reason explained by the personell was that Italian law restricts the hvac during this year period (April), what is very hard to believe.

Good and clean quite I do not like the construction they have in the basement and parking area

Location is good price is fine

It is a modern hotel with clean rooms and quiet location.

Building renovations going on in hotel. Rock hard beds. Evening meal selection very poor. Only 2 or 3 out of the freezer meals like pizza or cordon bleu. Says it located close to St Peters but it is only on the same side of the river. Still a long way away.

We stayed at a building site v a Hotel !!!! as there was Serious NOISE Levels from A Large CRANE KANGO HAMMERS Angle Grinders swimming pool closed only one english skeaking tv channell CNN News !! We need 50% of our money back please ?????

Everything A BUILDING SITE !!!

It is nice place, excellent location, clean room and friendly staff

The rooms were lovely & clean and spacious. We had a lovely view of The Vatican from our balcony.

The breakfast was awful with no choice at all, the staff were not very friendly or informative. This hotel is about 20 min walk from The Vatican City and about a 20 min taxi journey to the main city centre, so the location is not brilliant.

The price of staying in this hotel, compensated for the location which is out of town. It was walking distance (20mins) to St Peter's Basilica and there were bus options close to the hotel. At 4 euros a day for all public transport it was worth it. The metro was also walking distance (20 mins). However public transport stopped at 9pm so we always had to have an early dinner so we could get back. Highly recommend the Trastevere area for eating.

Although I checked the hotel restaurant was open every day of the year until 11 pm before leaving, we arrived at 9 pm on Christmas day to be told the restaurant had closed earlier and there was nothing we could eat. Fortunately McDonalds was within walking distance! The following night we ate in the hotel restaurant and it was the worst meal we have ever had in our 5 years of travelling Europe. Only four things on the menu. We chose roast turkey, potatoes and salad and were given two thin slices of cold processed turkey, a few lettuce leaves and no potatoes. When asked about the potatoes the one person on duty said they were coming in 2 minutes; they never came and after waiting 30 minutes he finally acknowledged there were no potatoes. Do not eat in the restaurant!!!

Driving from Germany, one of our first priorities was safe, secure parking. The Cardinal is one of the few hotels that offered free, private parking. When I got online and read the reviews, and then saw the price, it all came together. In a nutshell, the staff was exceptionally accomodating, the rooms were comfortable and clean, and the price was right.

Not that we didn't like it, but the Cardinal is a bit of a hike from the Vatican. We walk fast and I would say it is closer to 30 minutes. Having said that, there are buses that will get you there faster, but keep in mind, you cannot get tickets on the bus. Go to the Tobacco shops.

Room and Bathroom was excellent. Very well maintained and the cleaning staff were very good. However the balcony of the room was never cleaned atleast for a month and had leaves everywhere and balcony wwas not painted. Looked Ugly! Nevertheless I am NOT going to give a negative rating for the balcony as it was winter time and also because it didnot affect the comfort level of our room stay as we were not too bothered about the balcony. Also because the inside of the room and the toilets were kept in 100% cleanliness. Also the location of the hotel was just fantastic and suited us perfectly. Overall I would give 3 stars to this hotel. It certainly is NOT A FOUR STAR HOTEL.

1) Breakfast was atrocious. I would rate the breakfast at nearly 1 star rating. Reasons: Poorly presented. Bacon had hardly any meat and nearly only fat. Was slimy looking bacon in loads of fat floating on the dish. Nearly nauseating to look at it. Scrambled Eggs were tastless and was so yellow and looked very processed. No fresh juice and most the days they didnt even have the cordial in the drinking machine after 9.30am and they wouldnt refill it as beakfast finishes at 10.00am. Also no desserts except for one day of our 4 day stay. 2) Outside of the hotel was kept in very bad conditions. Walls were not painted for years and looked old and withered. Also gardens was not maintained for months with dried leaves everwhere. From outside it looks like a 2 star motel as oppossed to a four star hotel. However must mention that the rooms and toilets were maintained very well. Overall I would give 3 stars to this hotel. It certainly is NOT A FOUR STAR HOTEL.
