Room was older but clean. Comfortable bed. Our room also had a couch - big enough to sleep on as needed. Bathroom was also very clean. Shower only - the glass doors were hard to close completely however. Overall, it was a nice stay. Nicolletta and her husband (I think they were the owners of the guest house complex) did a great job keeping everything clean and tidy.

The property is owned by some of the nicest people! They were extremely welcoming and greeted us for check in. The property itself is conveniently located which made exploring Rome very easy. However, the unit is average at best. The walls are paper thin and has very basic amenities (they do provide sample packet sizes of soaps but I do recommend bringing your own). If you're looking to start your day early and end it late, this place is perfect.

ヴァチカン美術館の徒歩3分程の立地にあり ヴァチカン観光には最適な場所です。 バス停も徒歩1分の距離にあります。 美術館は広く疲れるため、その後交通機関に乗らずに帰って来られる立地はとても助かりました！ 何より部屋の中は清潔！日本人が過ごすには全く不快感のない清潔さと設備で居心地よく過ごせました。 コーヒーや紅茶、水のサービスもありました。 スタッフさんはとっても優しく温かい方でした。 荷物を預けられるか事前に確認をとったところ了承をいただきましたが、掃除するけど入って待っててもいいよと言われ、まさか部屋の中で休憩できるとおもっていなかったので、とても助かりました。 海外経験が浅く鍵の開け閉め方法もわからなかったのですが、何度も出来るようになるまで教えてくださいました。 こちらのサイトで連絡しても返信が早かったです。 本当に素敵な方でした！ 一泊しかしなかったので、少ししかお会いできず残念でした、、、 日本人や、ひとり旅の方にとってもおすすめしたいです！

非常に綺麗なお部屋だったので満足です。ベランダもあったので、洗濯物を外に干すこともできました。 周辺に２４時間営業のスーパーもあり、レストランも豊富です。オーナーさんに、おすすめのイタリアンレストランを紹介いただいたのですが、リーズナブルなのにボリュームもあり、とても美味しかったです！ ゲストハウスの入り口は分かりづらかったので、事前に到着予定時刻を連絡しておけばよかったです。 コーヒーメーカーやお菓子があったり、アメニティが充実していて、オーナーさんの心温まるおもてなしを感じました。最高の旅でした。ありがとうございました。

Exceeded Expectations-Perfect Stay in Rome

Borgo Vaticano was honestly better than we expected. The room size was generous, especially by European standards. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and hassle-free. Nicoletta, the host, was fantastic—very attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The place was spotless and well-maintained. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the Vatican Museums, and very close to both the bus and metro stations. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rome!
