Highly recommend this hotel. We had a lovely 4 day stay.

Pros: Fantastic location right outside St Peter’s Basilica. Hotel is gorgeous. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and the bed super comfy. Breakfast was very good too with a wide variety of choices.

Cons: We paid for a superior room and we thought it was a tad small. Overall though the hotel is beautiful and I would definitely book it again.

Great hotel near the Vatican

Pros: Great location near the Vatican, comfortable and reasonably priced. Amazing service - warm, attentive, always going above and beyond. Good breakfast too.

Sidona 10/10

A very unique hotel with an unbeatable location, offering a one-of-a-kind stay that comes with a premium price.

Pros: The property has a wonderful, charming character. The room felt like a monastery cell in the best possible way—simple, peaceful, and full of atmosphere. The outdoor area was beautiful and added a lot to the overall experience.

Cons: A very unique hotel with probably the best location you could ask for. It comes with a hefty price tag, but the setting is hard to beat.

Tranquil but in the heart of the Vatican area

Pros: The location was a stones throw to St Peter's Square.

Cons: The property is historically an old building, therefore the modernisation to accommodation comes with some sacrifices but nothing that was not satisfied in all that they offered.

Magical 8 days in Rome!

Pros: Location is brilliant! Friendly staff, Patrick on reception was amazing! Breakfast buffet was excellent

Cons: Can be slightly difficult to access on the days the pope is in attendance due to security and heavy crowds

Beautiful hotel perfectly located!

Pros: The location is perfect! Such a beautiful hotel, the courtyard inside it stunning! Perfectly located you can easily walk to main attractions within 20-30minutes, not to mention you are literally next door to St Peter’s Basilica.

Cons: Nothing. The hotel, location, breakfast, staff etc was all amazing!! Our room looked out over a side street which some may view as a negative point, but I’m only in the hotel to sleep so (for me) the view from my room is not a priority!
