Elevator was being repaired so had to walk up four floors multiple times per day. However, owners warned me about this before I came. They were very honest. But it was tiring.

Really clean, super nice owners, good value

Stayed in July 2025

Cons: My room is on the 3rd floor and I walked up 75 steps, no elevator so if you have a disability or wheel chair then this place is not for you, walking down is no problem for me but some night after a long day walking, I was tired to climb up! City tax: I wasn't sure that City Tax was included, some of my booking including city tax! So the owner asked me to pay and I have no way to check my booking so I told her I will pay when I come back home, I checked out on Apr 21 and on Apr 26 she was at the Pope Francis funeral, she texted me and saying that she will report to the police? "What" Did I asked her I'll pay when I come back? Come on, big event is going on at the Vatican, there wasn't even enough polices for the events, would they have time to work for $48?? Give me a break! I was so upset but I focused at the funeral Mass till the end. My suggest for the owner, not to be rude with customers, that was sad. I asked my husband to go on computer and paid her on Apr 27th, not because I worry about "police report" but $48 buck is not a big deal to me, I wished she handle it in a better manner ! After all, thank you!

Pro: The location is perfect, not too far from Vatican, walking 15 minutes to St Peter. Restaurants are near by, many coffee shop and very convenience if you don't mind to walk! Room is very nice and clean, I'd love to come back again!

We thought there would be more to the breakfast it was a little underwhelming

The staff was lovely, the space was modern and cozy

Stayed in November 2024

The room was a little tight but fully functional.

Good location. Very walkable to major attractions and restaurants etc.

Stayed in October 2024

It took four keys and a very small elevator to get to the room.

Location. Very close to the Vatican and the Metro. The room was small but had everything we needed and was very clean. We felt safe and the A/C worked great. Bathroom had everything we needed for our three night stay. There were several cafes, bars and restaurants close by. It was quiet. We never heard street noise or other guests.

Valeria was super helpful with fantastic restaurant recommendations. She was also very helpful with any queries and this was the key differentiating factor.

The property is very modern, spotlessly clean and has everything you need. The hosts made it very easy to find and enter the building, the location is near the metro and super close to the Vatican City.

Great location. Amazing room

Valeria was an amazing hostess. So friendly, welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay The property was clean and comfortable

For reasons completely independent from the property and its management, alas the metro line was undergoing some renovation and not accessible. Just a temporary situation (operations should resume at the end of August 2024), in such a stunning city as Rome. The central location made it easy to walk around without relying on public transportation. In short, we had no actual issues to report!

Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Clean rooms, amazing location. Classy design, merging careful renovations with the original style, providing comfort and charm without being outdated. Easy 15 min walk from the Rome St Peter’s train station, less than 5 min away from St Peter and the entrance to the museum. Highly recommended!

The engagement of Stephania with me since booking of our hotel and throughout our stay

Stayed in July 2024

It was more like a serviced air bnb which means no one is really around to speak with but owner/manager is very responsive and helped us get in safely and hitch free.

Very comfortable and I liked the industrial feel. Extremely clean and feels like a new build. Safe location as it is in an apartment complex that is well managed and green. Walking distance to the Vatican. Although not in the center, I did not feel far from things at all. The area was still vibrant and not crowded with good restaurants and cafe around. The manager provided a lot of useful recommendations for places to eat and how to get around.

Stayed in July 2024

Getting in was a bit complicated. Not difficult, but three different doors with three different numeric codes. Just a minor inconvenience.

Great location near the Vatican. Clean rooms. Was perfect for our stay in Rome. Staff was extremely helpful! Stefania was an excellent hostess.

The lift at the property is a little daunting. The taxi that the property arranged for us was €25 more than what it should have been. The set rate is €40 to ciampino airport and €55 to the other airport so felt slightly conned. Not their fault but I suggest getting your own taxis.

It was immaculate, the location was perfect for the Vatican. Lots of nice restaurants nearby.

Stayed in July 2024

The room was a bit dark otherwise everything was great!

The owners really put their heart in their accomodation. Perfect communication all the way, they also provided extensive lists of restaurants where to eat not only near the location but also the centre of Rome. Clean and comfortable, also a kind of “common room” is available to have coffee in or just sit and relax. Also very safe, everything is locked by codes. Definitely recommend if you don’t want to do a classical hotel but still get a very good service. The location in Prati is also very convenient, metro station very close and Vatican within 10 min walk.

We enjoyed our stay at New Design St Peter, The room was excellent Stephanie and Valeria were helpful We recommend the property

Stayed in July 2024

Such a lovely place for us to base ourselves as we explored Rome. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. The staff were so friendly. The owner was so helpful and gave us lots of local tips and ideas of what to visit. It's just a short 15 minute walk from the Vatican. The local area had plenty of cafes and restaurants. Google maps was a godsend to help us find our way round.

No sign at main gate to navigate and know its building F

So close to everything, clean neat. Cute little elevator

Very communicative and helpful.

Stayed in June 2024

The room is very well-equipped with amenities to make it a comfortable stay, like a reasonably priced minibar, tea kettle, small table and chairs for eating or working, good AC, comfy bed, and lamps and lighting to provide a calm or bright mood. The shower and bathroom were very nice and it smelled great from the added fragrance items. I also appreciated the complimentary espresso on the 4th floor. I had not stayed in Prati before and it was a very lively neighborhood, though the room was quiet. It was nice to walk around and explore the area. Stefania and staff were communicative and helpful, providing many suggestions and guidance.
