Residenza Paolo VI  

The location is excellent, right by the Vatican, not far from a metro station and close to a taxi station as well. The staff were very nice and very helpful. Breakfast was good, american style buffet. The hotel is neat, extremely clean and quiet. The airco worked very well. As a bonus there is a lovely terasse on the 2nd floor that can be used at any time of the day until midnight ( bar service is only from 16:00 to midnight). Sunday morning we sat out on the terrasse and could hear the choir from the Vatican singing, it was really special ! The standard room + bathroom were impeccable but on the negative side (see the section below) rather small.

We really liked the hotel but have to say that we were surprised by how small the room was, even if I had read it from other travelers. We had a standard room, it was tiny and so was the bathroom. We paid 189€ per night for that tiny room so I would say that the ratio value for money was not so good. I would still recommend this hotel but my advice would be to book only it if the rate was reasonable (E.G. around130€) considering for the size of the standard room & bathroom.

The location was excellent; the terrace in the picture only part belonged to the hotel so the main terrace was not available to guests to maximise photos of the Vatican and were off limits. That being said the view was the best ever and the staffs were very friendly. Would recommend this hotel it ticks all the boxes if you are visiting Rome. I will definitely be going back.

The hotel was perfectly located for our stay in Rome. Directly across from the Vatican, and within walking distance of the metro to accommodate our trips to the other historic sites, The Spanish Steps, The Trevvi fountain, The Pantheon etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the american style buffet breakfast was delicious. Our double room was very comfortable and clean, and the inclusion of a very reasonably priced mini-bar in the room was a welcome addition. A perfect location for young or mature couples for a weekend or city break.

Main idea was trip to Vatican city and area around. That is the most best location if you have the same task. You need just cross only one street to appear on St.Peter sq. Rooms are veeeeeeeeery small and atmosphere like in monastery. Hotel have the world smallest elevator :)) Tips for travellers: 1. Taxi from Termini to hotel cost us €15 plus €2 as a tips cos we get a very funny driver. 2. Room wifi is only for one device, so try to use other room wifi to be online, like login: 211, pass: paolovi211, try 212, 213 etc :))

Staff were fantastic. Location is just across the street from the Vatican City, amazing!

Will return to the Residenza Paolo VI without hesitation !Staff and service was excellent,polite and friendly at all times . The triple room suited the three of us and we had no problem with space .Our visit was a gift to my Mother on her 80 th Birthday ,she loved everything about the hotel and it really does sit right on the doorstep of the Basilica,which was so important to her ,it really is a location location hotel .Breakfast was abundant with plenty of choice and a beautiful dining room .This hotel was exactly what was advertised on booking .com ,and yes the pictures are exactly the same in real life ! I would be amazed if anyone going there did not enjoy their stay in this beautiful tranquil little gem in the heart of the Vatican City .

Would love to have a more varied dinner menu at night ,even though there a restaurants locally ,after a day of sight seeing it was lovely to sit with a bottle of wine and sit on the veranda looking out at the Bascillica ,then make your way to bed .Not a complaint , just to complete the wish list for us personally !!

Excellent location and friendly staff.

Bed could be softer.

Deluxe double room was quiet and away from the road as it led to a interior courtyard. Furnishings were luxury and comfortable

The standard Double Room we had booked was very small and we could hardly move so we upgraded to a deluxe double. The price for both the standard double and deluxe double was very expensive for what it was.

So close to the Vatican. Terrace was amazing at night! Waiter, breakfast staff and room staff were extremely nice!! Price was excellent!

Staff at front desk were a little rude but no big problem!

Pleasant hotel with very pleasant staff.

Only had dinner once and the quality of the food was at best average.

This hotel is extremely close to the Vatican and St Peter's is literally across the road. The view from the terrace is phenomenal. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Very approachable!

The room was very small, but we were hardly there so it didn't matter at all!! The terrace is also small but the view made up for that. It would be nice to be able to utilise the whole of the terrace but it is fenced off.

The location to visit Vayican is perfect, great terrace, friendly and helpful stuff.

The only negative experience is that they offer the services of the worst tour operator in Rome, Carrani Tours, disgrace for the Rome tour industry.

Literally across the street from St. Peter's. Gorgeous roof top bar with a stunning view. Excellent complimentary breakfast.

A challenging cobble stone walk from the metro to the hotel with luggage in tow.
