Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room we had was small but was clean. We got a basic room so nothing fancy. I liked the area and was very walkable to many things close by and was accessible to many places to eat and markets and pharmacies. The staff were nice and had a roof top which was relaxing. We moved from this hotel to napoleon hotel from our original plans but knowing what we know now we would have stayed there longer compared to the napoleon hotel which was the direct opposite of this hotel. If I were to give a piece of advice stay in Vatican City and be very cautious of where in Rome you go. At napoleon there was much around to do and was dirty but at hotel papi was clean and safe and had many things within 15 minutes of walking or less.

We stayed one night had leave hotel early in the morning. Beds were very uncomfortable and not only could we not watch TV because the person who stayed in room before us the tv had his act on even the guy working at hotel could not fix then I tried to turn TV off and the TV would not turn off we were tired had a 10 hour flight the next morning and had to leave at 6am I called front desk someone came up to help and they also could not get the TV to turn off so we had to sleep with the bright TV screen on and couldent even watch anything the only other solution was to take the key card out which gives the room power and then we would have no AC and room was very hot so unfortunately, we had to leave the TV screen on all night. There was also hair in the bathroom sink. The positive the gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and helpful they booked transportation for us and gave us a great restaurant recommendation he was very helpful and nice and hotel is in a good location close to Vatican other then that the rest of the stay was disappointing.

Good for a short stay. Good location to major sites. The hotel staff was very friendly. Solo room was very small and unfortunately they put me right next to the reception desk and breakfast so it was extremely loud in the morning and hard to sleep. Good value for the money considering how expensive Rome is and again for 2-3 days worth it, but I wouldn’t stay longer than that. Little tiny gym was nice for a quick basic workout before sightseeing.
