Roberto

United States of America

The best part of our experience were the wonderful gentlemen at the front desk, Luca, Giancarlo and Roberto. I don't know how we would have managed without their assistance. We left the hotel after 2 days to take a side trip to Florence and could not wait to get back to our hotel Diplomatic and the amazing personal service we received.

The hotel's location is excellent - walking distance from city center and the Vatican, main buses are right outside the door. The staff is friendly and always eager to help. Room was comfortable , clean. Around the hotel a few good places to eat.

Marcky

The hotel has a perfect location to all the necessities. All the sites were in walking distance and the bus was right outside the front door. The people at the desk had excellent recommendations for great restaurants and was very conscious about even getting us a cab to go to the airport. They spoke English so communication was easy. Very good and comfortable experience.

Hotel Diplomatic is just around the corner from Castel Sant'Angelo and across the river from Rome's historic center. Service is excellent here and the hotel has a terrace.

Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned, with satellite TV and a minibar. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Vaticano Prati is a great choice for travelers interested in museums, culture and ancient landmarks.

It needs a complete refurb. Everything about the decor is tired. The rooms are small, and two open suitcases take up most of the floor space. The lighting is awful. Simply replacing the worn out fluorescent lights with brighter LED lamps would make a dramatic difference, and would pay for itself within a year or two. There is no hotel bar, or decent lounge to have a drink in. Breakfast was included, and the staff were friendly, but you’d better like toast or cereal. There are no eggs. We took no photographs of the interior, as it wasn’t worth photographing. We booked it on the basis of the pictures on line, but the film was nothing like the book. We left after three nights, having paid for seven.
The location was excellent, and the bed large and supremely comfortable.

We arrived at 11 pm and notified the hotel about this in advance. I specifically asked for two beds, but upon arrival one of the beds was a folded sofa bed, which is not a big deal. What surprised me the most is front desk person telling me: “I can do you a favor by providing you the bedding sheets for the sofa bed since we’ve checked in late and all the staff has gone home”. Not sure if 150$ a night is a good price for staff not familiar with the concept of customer service and them doing their job is actually doing favor to their guests...
This place has a good location, but that’s about it
