Las personas a quienes pedimos ayuda eran muy gent

No era nuestra espectativa ya que via internet no pone que no tiene baño privado, no tiene ascensor y es arriba la pieza para una persona mayor fundamental. El pin de la puerta se encuentra afuera y para salir de adentro no está al alcance para ver los números. Muchas veces tenía que pedir ayuda a los que pasaban por la calle para que nos ayude a abrir el portón.

Hotelli Vatikaanin kupeessa

Hotellin ikkunasta näkyy Vatikaanin muuri eikä portillekaan ole pitkä matka. Hyviä ruokapaikkoja kävelyetäisyydellä. Ei mikään turistirysä, mutta miellyttävä paikka ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Preis/Leistung unschlagbar in dieser Gegend.

Der Check-In verlief ungewöhnlich aber eben problemlos. Das Personal setzte sich mit uns via WhatsApp in Verbindung, um mit uns bezüglich der Schlüsselübergabe in Kontakt zu bleiben. Wir wurden möglichst um eine Ankunftszeit am Hotel gebeten. Das verlief alles problemlos, wobei wir aber auch maximal 10 Minuten zu spät waren. Ich kann nicht sagen, wie es sich bei einem zweiten Termin verhalten hätte. Ich mache in Stichworten weiter, weil Menschen nicht gerne Romane lesen: Positiv: -Modernes Zimmer -Sauberes Zimmer -Exzellente Klimaanlage -Kleines aber feines und leckeres, auf dem Zimmer serviertes, Frühstück (Croissant, Kaffee und Fruchtsaft: Wem das nicht reicht, hat den Preis nicht gesehen!) -Um Perfektion bemühtes und freundliches Personal. -Zu Fuß in 10 Minuten im Vatikan und anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Negativ -Der Duschkopf war leider etwas defekt, weshalb er das Wasser quer in der Dusche verteilte, was wir aber hätten ansprechen müssen, als wir eben gefragt wurden, ob denn alles OK sei. Fazit: Man hat definitiv einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt bei diesem jungen engagierten Team.

Akzeptable Pension in guter Lage

Die Pension liegt direkt an der Vaticanische Mauer. Weit genug vom Eingang weg so das man nicht sofort in eine Traube Touristen läuft und doch gut gelegen zur Metro, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Der Empfang war freundlich. Zimmer ist eher einfach gehalten und leider hat das Bad kein Fenster so das es recht feucht ist. Frühstück auf dem Zimmer mit Hörnchen, Saft und Kaffee war in gut und der Reinigungsservice jeden Tag da. Ein Kühlschrank und ein Babybett waren auch bereit gestellt. Wer eine Schlafmöglichkeit sucht die nicht zu teuer und zweckmäßig ist, ist hier richtig :)

Ne répondent pas au téléphone, ni à l'interphone. On a du attendre que quelqu'un ouvre le portail ! Pas de chauffage, en janvier. Et on sent le vent frais via les fenêtres. Interphone extérieur qui sonne dans la chambre d'hôtel ! Petit déjeuner très simple. BEAUCOUP de bruit, même très tard (on entend même le sèche cheveux de la chambre voisine). Des entrées de clients très tard. On entend tout. La triple Room est petite, surtout la salle de bain / toilettes. Les points positifs : accueillants, non loin de la place Saint Pierre.

C'est très particulier

Il est difficile de donner un avis sur un ressenti personnel ; mon fils adolescent m'a dit dès notre arrivée : maman il est bizarre cet homme qui se fait nommer, soit Marco, soit par d'autre Paolo, soit Massimo donc on ne c'est pas son prénom. Si on n'a besoin de quelque chose, il n'y a personne sauf le matin ...une jeune fille qui prépare le petit déjeuner qui reste environ 2 h; soit dit au passage, rien dans le plateau : un croissant et une tasse de notre boisson café ou chocolat en petit et la moitié d'un verre de jus d'orange. cette hotêl n'a que 3 chambres comme cela était mentionné à la réservation, que nous pouvions demander un micro-onde donc c'est faux. Le quartier le soir est tellement sombre et sans circulation, le long des remparts du Vatican pendant 3 kms avant de retrouver un peu de vie ; on n'a pas trop envie de prendre de risque en sortant....un vrai coupe gorge. seule avec mon fils dans cet endroit, nous n 'étions vraiment pas rassurés...donc je déconseille cet hôtel pour les craintifs. Le propriétaire me semble louche. Nous avons donc passé un séjour le pire de tous ; pourtant j'ai beaucoup voyagé dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique Kenya et Sénégal ; j'ai fait les 3 pays du Maghreb dont le désert du Sahara : Tamanrasset ainsi que bien d'autres endroits mais là, je n'ai jamais ressenti pareil impression oppressante. L'agence ne devrait pas proposer cet hôtel qui en n'est pas un d'ailleurs.

Great Bread and Breakfast.

Great place to stay. Helpful staff. Location was directly across the street from Vatican City wall, and access to Vatican City entrance was just a 20 minute walk away. Restaurants within walking distance, as well as grocery store. Missed not having a microwave or small fridge option though, as it seems they expect guests to meals (other than breakfast) out in restaurants. Otherwise, a very enjoyable place to stay. Am planning on staying there again on my next visit to Vatican City.

Be prepared to use stairs, if you are on the 3rd floor and to share bathroom. We had to wait outside for a while. Staff don't start till 8:00. I was told it was only 8 minute walk to the Vatican. Darlene was very nice and professional.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix

Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans cet hôtel. Il n'y a pas de réception, mais une personne parlant très mal l'anglais était là pour nous accueillir. Nous reprochons à l'hôtel la qualité des lieux (très sonores, des odeurs de remontées d'eau persistantes et des poignées de porte nous restant dans les mains), la qualité du personnel semblant très gentil initialement, mais se révélant désastreux dans la pratique. La qualité du petit déjeuner est médiocre : un mini café, un croissant de la qualité d'une grande surface, 2 toast sans beurre et quelquefois sans confiture. Il faut constamment réclamer, mais le personnel ne note rien et il faut chaque matin réclamer à nouveau pour obtenir (savon, shampoing et petit déjeuner).
