Ara Pacis

The lift makes it easy to get your bags up to the rooms, and the location is very good, just a few blocks from Vatican City. The rooms are nice and, most importantly, clean, with fresh towels every day. There’s good Wi-Fi too. The workers are very nice and helpful, and the lady speaks good English. I’d recommend this hotel.

The staff were very attentive. The photos on the hotel website are real, but in person it felt like a two- or maybe three-star hotel. Reception was right by the room door, there was no view, and the exterior air conditioning unit was noisy.

There was no microwave or coffee machine, and breakfast was served somewhere else. It was the same small selection every day, just a croissant, a hot drink, and juice, so we bought our own instead. The room and shower were both tiny. The reception desk was literally outside our door, so we had no privacy and could hear every sound. Our view was awful, just some pipes.

The breakfast setup was especially nice: a stroll down to a local patisserie. It’s a great little place in a nice area, close to everything, and felt very secure. The staff were very nice. Rooms are compact, but clean and comfortable, with everything you need.
