    Hot water was an issue in the shower as pressure kept going down.

    Great location very close to Vatican City plus many restaurants near by, I like the old architecture of the building (entrance, lift, main door), fresh croissant every morning and self service breakfast, never seen a staff but communicate through message and it was helpful to answer all my questions plus local advices. Room was enough for 3 of us and beds were fine.

    Excellent location, quiet and with easy access. Very close to the metro station. Walking distance to main attractions. Good breakfast with very tasty croissants. Good restaurants and cafes nearby. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are a good size, very clean and with access to all essentials.

    Mattress on bed wasn’t very comfortable, it was actually the only thing that could be better.

    Great staff, extra nice people, nothing was problem, super location near Metro and Petr’s cathedral. I highly recommend it!

    Shower was quite small, but in general the whole place is very nice and practical.

    Location is just excellent, a few block away from Vatican. Breakfast was nice, and included a very nice "selection o croissants". Plenty of dinning options in the sorroundings. Simone was very attentive.

    Nice apartments. The room is quite small, but cozy and clean. There is a shared kitchen, tea/coffee/snacks are available around the clock. For breakfast there are fresh croissants, which is good news :) What is important: the room is cleaned every day! Hospitable owner, it was a pleasure to communicate

    The room and bathroom were clean, we had air conditioning (in the Rome heat it was extremely necessary), snacks available all day longs (the juices were amazingly tasty) and delicious croissants for breakfast. Good location - 10 min to Vatican by feet, and lots of bus stops nearby, very convenient. The owner was very-very nice, very pleasant and speaks English very well. Also, soundproofing was really good, we didn’t hear any noises from other rooms. I can definitely recommend this place ☺️

    Nothing was unlikable - Simone is a perfect gent, and a credit to Rome!

    Simone is a fantastic host, really friendly and helpful - our main reason for booking this particular hotel was that it’s tucked slightly away from the main tourist attractions but only 5 mins walk from the Vatican and just a few steps from the Metro - our room was really comfortable and kept clean every day - We were given lovely Croissants each morning for breakfast along with continental Breakfast if required - lots of great tucked away restaurants nearby and a perfect stay for us - couldn’t recommend highly enough! Perfecto!

    This apartment met our expectations and there really wasn't anything we didn't like.

    The location was excellent. Close to the Vatican and lots of restaurants nearby. The host was very understanding & accommodating when our flight was delayed -as a result we arrived late. The continental breakfast was good and croissants a nice touch.

    Simone was a very polite and helpfull host. Tha breakfast was just one step to four star hotels. Location is excellent. A place for luggages between checkout of the facility and leaving Rome, is a smart, valuable help to the guests. Beds could be better.

    Perfect for a Vatican visit
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Location - Old Kitchen is the perfect B&B if you plan on visiting the Vatican and other sights in the area. It’s just steps away from the Metro and Bus stops and about a 5-minute walk to the Vatican Museums and St.Peters Basilica. The host was on hand when I arrived and explained how everything in the apartment worked. The apartment is on the fourth floor but there is an elevator. There are tons of great restaurants in the area as well as supermarkets and laundromats. Room - The room was quite large and comfortable with an open-storage rack, a television, a safe, two chairs and a small table. There were plug points near the bed (keep in mind that plugs in Italy sometimes differ from the rest of Europe so don’t forget to carry an adapter) The air-conditioning was exceptional. The bathroom was decent sized although the bath area was a bit cramped (but this is an issue all over Italy) Kitchen - The kitchen area is a common area for all guests at the B&B. There’s a fridge, a coffee machine, a kettle & toaster as well as breakfast cereal, tea, coffee, bread, milk, yoghurt and fruit. Fresh croissants are delivered every morning by the bakery nearby and they were delicious. There are also cups, plates and other tableware available for use. Wi-Fi was fast and consistent.

    Maybe there could be some extra options for breakfast, a little bit more savory. The coffee machine though was excellent as we could gave a cup of coffee anytime!

    Our host was very friendly and helpful! The location of the property is very good, in a nice neighborhood with a metro station at approximately 2 mins. We really enjoyed our stay!

    we loved everything about the place. if I were to make a recommendation, I'd say perhaps adding a microwave to the kitchen as we had left over food almost daily but couldn't heat it up.

    perfect location to get to anywhere. very clean. has a kitchen which is fully equipped with tea/coffee making facilities along with fresh fruit, yogurts and the most delicious croissants for breakfast which are included in the price. rooms are cleaned daily. staff is just amazing. extremely helpful and polite.
