Bed and Breakfast Best (Vatican) - Rome

7.3

we were compelled to pay cash!!

9.6

We arrived in Rome 2 hours late from Tel Aviv, called the contact number from the airport and we were greeted immediately on arrival by the hostess of the property. With the help of the young man who was there, we negotiated the compact (make that old) elevator to the 3rd floor and were shown to our room which was immaculate. We were shown how to work the A/C, TV, VCR. Paid in advance as requested (using Euro Travelers Cheques). We could hear a little noise from the kitchen (next to our room), but the sumptuous breakfast which was cooked to order more than made up for that. Only real regret...we had to leave early for our plane and missed breakfast on the last day. recommend this place to anyone who just wants a nice place to stay.

Good for couples, single people. I really enjoyed my stay at Best Vatican. The breakfast (included in the price) was amazing, a lot of variety and presented nicely on a rolling tray. My only complaint is that when we 'checked out', aka paid, the rate was actually 5 euros higher and they told me the 5% discount did not apply because we didn't stay 2 nights minimum and also because we were not paying cash. I never read this in the email confirmation (I guess there was really small fine print that I may have missed), they confirmed the price when I booked online. So that was a bit of a disappointment, but other than that, I would highly recommend staying here. Overall pretty good value for the money. Very walkable location to lots of main attractions (trevi fountain, etc). We borrowed a map of the area from the 'lounge' room which was nice since we only had 1 day to explore.

9.8

B&B Vatican exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for such great service. I was a bit nervous about what we would find because I had booked on line but didn't need to worry. The room wasn't very big but was adequate for our purposes. Everything was nice and clean and the provided breakfast could have fed an army! The property was also very conveniently located close to vatican. (Easy walking distance)

7.2

Pros: clean, modern, very comfortable bed, great breakfast, near Vatican. Cons: expensive, pretty far from most other sites, staff speaks very little english and does not give suggestions of where to go and eat. I would rather have stayed somewhere more central in Rome, like near the Pantheon, but I didn't know where the sites where I booked this place. If your prime interest is Vatican city and you want a nice place to stay, then this would be a good option.

9.6

Buen B&B, a minutos del Vaticano y con excelentes conexiones a través del subte y los buses (recomiendo comprar mapa de buses y preguntar). Muy buen barrio para llegar de noche. Habitaciones limpias y cómodas. El desayuno servido en la habitación es abundante, variado y fresco. Internet a disposición y habitación con baño para esperar el horario del avión. Un detalle que no molesta: decoración moderna, gris y muy fría para mi gusto. English: good modern B&B. Nice sorroundings, well connected by metro and bus (get map). Walking distance to Vatican City. Great breakfast served in room. Internet. Late check out.

10

excellent location!! few steps from the vatican and only two metro station from piazza de spagna. the staff is helpfull and really professiona.

9.2

Excellente adresse : tres bon rapport qualité/prix, tres bien entretenue, calme, petit dejeuner exceptionnel, personnel adorable, situation géographique ideale : 100 ml du metro ligne A, 500 ml du vatican et ses musées ... bref A RECOMMENDER ABSOLUMENT.

9.5

Thank you to all at the Best B&B Vatican for making my first trip to Rome one I will never forget. I will definitely be reserving a room with you on my next trip (along with my wife)! All the best, Jonathan

It was a great place to stay for our two night stay in Rome. We were welcomed upon arrival and given a tour of the property and the amenities. Breakfast was great and served promptly every morning. The only negative was the loud noise in the morning that everyone has mentioned. It didn't matter too much as we were up and out early each day. The location near the Vatican and the Metro was great.

8.6

the rooms are not so quiet, but the rest was great!

4.0

The B&B itself is very good, as others have commented, clean, good location, great breakfast. However, we had an unfortunate incident where we were kept awake most of one night by a commotion which appeared to involve someone else staying at the B&B. We reported this, on the telephone number supplied to us, and the response we had was for it to be dismissed out of hand. Two points; it brings home in a stark fashion that you are sharing an apartment with people you don't know and there are no B&B staff on the premises (or apparantly willing to come and help); and, this is the worst example of customer service I have come across in many years of travelling. I emailed the B&B after I returned - no response. I couldn't stay there again if this is typical of their behaviour if anything goes wrong.

9.5

A friend had tipped me off about tripadvisor.com since me and my girlfriend had a bit of a dilemma of choosing a nice and cosy place to stay for our four-day trip to Rome (Sun-Wed in late January). Both the reviews and the photos of the Best B&B Vatican were encouraging and since both the price and location were close to ideal, we decided to go for it. We had written that we would arrive between 11 and 12 am on Sunday morning, not an ideal hour to be up early for Italians, and one of the reviews had tipped us off that getting hold of the staff at arrival in the morning was a bit tricky. Not so. A very clear sign indicating both B&B name and a cell to call if no one answered the doorbell sat right next to the door. Answering the cell was a very congenial young fellow who was running a bit late but assured us he'd be there in 20 minutes, not very unusual in Italy and actually a thing to be expected for a small B&B in Southern Europe - I've lived in Italy. An informative tour of both the B&B and the facilities of the room followed and I have to say that I was astounded. For all of you expecting five star accomodation, you'd be better off choosing something closer to Piazza Spagna, but for the rest of us, who were probably expecting less, it was a beautiful little place. Clean and small - but not cramped - rooms with a comfortable bed and a pretty little bathroom with a shower. Also a flat screen TV with a DVD (never turned it on, so wouldn't be able to tell you about it) mounted on a wall and in front of this a little table flanked by a couple of Victoria Ghost chairs by Philip Starck. Unbelievable breakfasts were had at that table and it's probably the best one we have ever had in an accommodation we have payed money for. Toast, croissants, jams, butter, prosciutto, edam cheese, scrambled (or for that matter any kind of) eggs and bacon, yoghurt, milk, espresso/cappuccino/americano, fruit, corn flakes, muesli, etc. Five stars! With silver ware, we could be sitting at t

Exceeded all our expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a wonderful stay!!! Nicoletta thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!

8.7

great place, fantastic location, very clean and modern rooms. they also provide a fantastic breakfast and the staff is very helpful.

9.6

Best place to stay in Rome if you want to be near the Vatican. The breakfast is amazing, more food than any one person could ever consume. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were very clean as well.

8.5

I was travelling with my friend and our main purpose of stay at this B&B was to attend the Christmas Mass at the Vatican. It is located at an ideal place to visit the Vatican City or any other places in Rome; close to Metro station as well. Many shops nearby. As commented by others, breakfast is excellent - perhaps the best you can get for this price in Rome!

9.6

we found best vatican to be a great location. very close to metro,red, and an atm within feet of the entrance. breakfast was great,saving 20euros a day. our stay was very quite, dec 14-19,at night even with windows open.

9.9

We didn't actually stay at the Vatican in the end, due to building work we were relocated to the Pantheon and upgraded to a Double Room Deluxe. From the Pictures both hotels look very similar, We were really looking forward to going but it surpassed our expectations. The place was amazing we even got free slippers & free net, the hair dryer in the room was a proper one (not one of those silly tube things attached to the wall)and the room had an ironing board & iron. It seems everyone raved about the breakfast & rightly so, again amazing delivered to your door and you can just order everything on the menu, we did & any pastrys we didn't eat we took to snack on. Mini Bar is fairly priced rather than stupidly expensive. Brilliant location all in all fantastic, brill price for what you get xx

10

thanks to the helpfull staff of Best Vatican! Excellent location with all conforts and a very special breakfast.

10

fantastic stay at Best Vatican! close to the metro and few steps from the Vatican. spacious and extremely clean, helpfull staff.

8.9

This was one of our favourite B&Bs on our recent trip - it was a great location, nice room, lovely touches like a mini bar with an honesty system, and the best breakfast. I would highly recommend staying here.

8.5

Good rooms, quiet spot. Close to Vatican and subway, but at little distance walk from down town (but you can take sub or a walk in the morning/eventing is always good). Excellent to get breakfast in room. Overall great stay.

7.9

This was the best breakfast of our 4 B&Bs in Italy; not a continental bun and coffee, but a complete meal that you'd get at a Ristorante. The Room was very clean and modern, although a bit small. Having internet access was a plus. The staff arranged a 4:30 AM taxi to the airport. All in all, we'd stay here again. Good location.

9.9

Nice and helpfull staff. high quality for the breakfast. clean and spacioyus room. we'll come back here again

10

we stayed in Rome only 2 nights but we'll come surely here hack again. we enjoied Best Vatican at all. really a wonderfull special accomodation.

10

The Best Vatican B&B was more than we could have hoped for! We had the smallest of the 4 rooms, which was still plenty big. The bathrooms were large and cleaned daily. The bed was almost too firm for me, but we actually slept just fine. Nicolette was so nice and accomadating. The breakfast was AMAZING! Definitely the best part of the entire stay. Everything was so delicious and plenty of it. Greatly surpassed the breakfast we had in Venice. Having a laptop and internet available was a great plus. And the location of the B&B was perfect!! Quiet, cute little neighborhood with lots of options for dining. Only 2 blocks away from the metro/buses and a 5 min walk to the Vatican!! Felt very safe and would not have wanted to stay anywhere else. Would recommend to everyone!

10

My first time at Bes Vatican but surely not the last! small, charming accomodation with all the facilities you find in a five star hotel! The best choice for a Roman Holiday.

9.7

The breakfast was simply the most amazing we had in all the b&b's we stayed in. Extremely yummy and a luxury after just flying in. The service was lovely and the room clean and super quiet for Rome. The metro(subway) is right around the corner and there is lovely restaurants just down the street and a cute wine bar across the street. It was a 10-15 minute walk to st.peters and we did it right after arriving. There was a lift so you don't have to haul your luggage. They also had a phone card available in the room that you could buy which was a big help for us, and the internet too so we could tell family we were ok. We would totally stay here again if we visited Rome and thought it was simply an amazing B&B.

9.1

Great location near Vatican. Room was very nice, clean, quiet and spaceous. The breakfast served in our room was great. On site computer and they arranged for our transportation to the airport for us.

8.8

Best Vatican was great, and very clean. The Breakfast was the best part of our stay :) The only issue I had was with the towels that are not very absorbent. The maid also did not change the towels on one of the days, and folded up a wet towel, for us to use again that evening. We were received by Giorgia, who hurried us through the check-in. On the next day Rudolfo was much more helpful when he checked in another set of guests. Other than that we enjoyed our stay at Best Vatican.

9.4

Excellent standard of accommodation, 15 minutes walk from St. Peter's and the Vatican. Also 5 minutes walk from Metro, and 10 minutes from bus terminus giving easy access to the entire city. The best breakfast in all of Italy delivered to your room every morning! Highly recommended.

9.9

many thanks to the staff for helping us with precious suggestions! we loved our stay at Best Vatican and we'll never forget your fabulous breakfast!

9.3

We had a lovely stay and would recommend the hotel to anyone coming to Rome! Breakfast was lovely and room was very comfortable. Only problem was trying to find someone to pay for our stay.

9.4

We definately get what we pay for and more. The hotel is in the great location, staff is very friendly and breakfast is tasty. We would recommend this to our friends (actually we know this place from our friend who also got recommended from her friend)

9.6

I had a superior double room. The room, facilities and the breakfrast was awsome. The location was super, because it reminds you that you're in Rome, very quiet, one block from the Metro station giving you accessibility to the center and site viewing. Plus near St. Peter and the Vatican. I reccomend it for a super stay in Rome

10

we really enjoied our stay at best vatican. the staff is friendly and professional, the rooms are spacious and clean. in an old building we found a very modern an tchnological b&b.

10

excellent

10

we never found such a lovely B&B in Italy!! when we'll come back in Rome we will stay some more days at best vatican.

9.9

This is a wonderful B&B and so close to Vatican too. It is spotlessy clean and you get the most wonderful breakfast served in your room in the morning. We went with our 2 teenage children and it proved an ideal venue - I would recommed this to anyone and excellent value too.

9.1

Consiglio soprattutto alle coppie questo b&b....ricca colazione...la mia era la stanza più piccola delle quattro disponibili, i servizi sono i medesimi, cambia il prezzo che è più basso data la dimensione...ottima ubicazione,vicinissima alla metro...personale disponibile...

9.7

Basically if anyone is going to Rome for a short break, stay here, fantastic location, amazing breakfast, awesome B&B!

9.9

The name of this B&B says everything itself - it's really the best! The design of the room and and public areas, the friendly hostess, the services or, i would say, extras provided, like DVD, slippers, etc. and the breakfast... First, served in the room, second, the amount and quality of food is more than you could ever expect! Highly recommended!

5.5

Beware of the 'twin room' at Best Vatican!! For couples sharing a room, this B&B would probably be just fine. I had specifically emailed the B&B to check that twin-rooms were available and had received a 'yes, of course' response. They provide a double bed in the room, and what can only be described as a camp-bed (unfolded from a footstool) suitable for a child at best. I spent 2 very uncomfortable nights on a hard and narrow bed - with holes in the sheets! I did complain to the manager (as the bed was not even made up when we arrived & we had to do it ourselves - the gentleman who met us complained that it was not his job.....!!). I suggested that they ought to be more specific about the twin-share accomodation on their website - ie, that twin rooms (with two proper beds) are really only available at their other B&B Pantheon. Georgia (the manager) said that she would do this, and also offered me a small discount (10%) on the accomodation. This B&B has had excellent reviews on this site, and this was the basis of my choice of hotel in Rome. I agree that the breakfasts are very good and the hotel is in a good location. It is disappointing that my experience was unsatisfactory and I do hope that information regarding twin-share is made clearer on their website.

9.8

Breakfast is great, one of the best I ever had on my trips. I had the smallest room of the property (was cheaper) but it was very clever furnished so you had all you needed in it (including DVD and Satellite). You also have access to another room (somehow like a reception) where you have laptop with internet, DVDs to watch, printer, etc. Quite great at this price.

10

I can't fault Best B&B Vatican. The service was fantastic. It was quiet (I just hope that our baby did not keep others awake). The breakfast was huge. We could not possibly eat it all and took some of the leftover pastries away with us to eat during the day. The staff were lovely. It felt very secure. There is a great wine bar and restaurant across the road and of course it was very close to Vatican City. It was a bit of a struggle for us with luggage and a baby to get there from Termini but that was because we had a lot of stuff we had to get up and down stairs in the Metro. It is an easy walking distance to the Metro station.

9.3

This place was lovely. The Best breakfast is definitely the best. Also, there was a huge wide screen tv on the wall, a safe box, plenty of space, dimmer lights, incredibly soft towels and bath mat, hot powerful shower and even slippers for plodding around the bathroom. All other facilities were as listed too. The rooms were quiet and you were left pretty much to yourself although people were generally helpful when you asked them for something. This place and the people who run it were really accomodating; they even brought us breakfast (served in your room) almost an hour before the regular time because we had an early flight home that day. If it hadn't been for the power shower shooting straight out the door when I tried the water temperature and the key being a bit tricky in the door (so that we woke people up trying to get into our room), i'd have probably given it top scores all round. Will definitely recommend it.

4.3

Whilst the room and breakfast was good, we were extremely disapointed because each of the four nights we were there the electricity cut out. Meaning we could not shower, relax,sleep or even see our selves into the building. There was no apology from the hotel management or compensation for the loss in services - which I think is just as bad, if not worse then not having electricity.

8.5

The location was excellent. Nice quiet and safe neighbourhood and very close to met transport. 500 tv channels. Room very clean and comfortable. Excellent security. You need to inform them your time of arrival so someone can be there to greet you. However, no one was there when we said we would arrive so we sat outside for an hour until Sandro came. He was very apologetic and helpful. Breakfast is best in Italy. This place is highly recommended.

10

best quality at Best Pantheon! when you visit Rome try to find anaccomodation here.

10

the best place to virit Rome. we loved our stau at best Vatican. the house keeper was so nice and helpfull!. breakfast is reaaly special.

10

This accomodation is what it says in the web and more - clean, efficient (aircon, flat screen tv), spacious, convenient location (walking distance to vatican and around the corner to the Ottaviano metro stop), sumptous and generous breakfast portion, first-rated facilities and very friendly and efficient staff. I would recommend this accomodation to anyone wishing to have a memorable stay in Rome.

8.0

Everything was as we expected, and the breakfast was first class. It took us more time to walk into the centre than we had thought, but the metro is only 2-3 minutes away and it should be used for the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum. Get the bus no.23 from the far side of the Piazza Risorgimento to Trastevere for dinner at a cheaper price than the local restaurants. We recommend this B & B, but the Best Pantheon is more central. Do consider using the private transfer from the airport which was great, and buy the Roma Pass for the bus & metro and for entrance to venues/museums.

9.5

La habitación es perfecta, tal y como se ve en la página web. El edificio es algo viejo pero al entrar en la habitación parece otro mundo. La situación muy buena: a 5 minutos andando (por una calle muy animada y con muchísimas tiendas) del Vaticano, y 15 minutos del Castel San Angelo. Y justo al lado de la boca de metro de Vaticano. El desayuno fue espectacular: fruta fresca, todo tipo de dulces y panes... algo flojo el café para ser italiano, pero vamos, todo muy bien. En general, muy recomendable. Por último, tuvimos un pequeño problema a la hora del pago (una tarjeta dio problemas y luego lo cobraron dos veces) y fueron bastante rápidos a la hora de arreglarlo.

10

the best choice we ever found in Rome. wonderful location, staff friendly helpfull and professional. we'll surely come back here again!

9.9

Would recommend B&BB as its clean, inviting, comfortable, reasonably priced, well positioned for sight-seeing and intimate and cosy too. Breakfasts (delivered to the room) are great too!

9.2

We had very good stay in Best B&B 5 nights (20.05.2008 - 25.05.2008). The first 4 days breakfast served by the italian parlourmaid was very, very good. But last breakfast served by the Asian parlourmaid, was twice less, than the last days. Owners of hotel are necessary for approaching to selection of the attendants more closely, because the price of residing is high enough.

7.7

This is not a traditional B&B; it is a mini hotel with no front desk staff. We had to find a kind store clerk who would call someone to check us in; there was no one to check us out. This woman spoke good English, but she was not readily available at that phone number to ask questions. A cook and housekeeper came in for 2-3 hours each morning and that was it. Neither spoke English. This is a great place if you speak the language and/or know your way around. The breakfast was delicious: bacon and eggs plus a huge continental breakfast. It was served in our room; there was no chance to meet the other guests. This is an Italian neighborhood, not a tourist area. It had local, not tourist prices, and the amibance was delightful. We thought this quaint at first, but we could not find anyone who spoke English well enough to tell us how to get to the airport, and the phone in the room did not work. We would have to buy an expensive phone card to use the public phone for one call. I started stopping people on the street, asking if they spoke English; no one did. We finally found a store clerk who could direct us to a taxi stand, but couldn't find out if anyone would be there at 5:30 to 6:00 a.m. until we got there the morning of departure. They were, but it was very stressful until then. We like B&Bs because we can get to know a local person or family a little and learn about life wherever we are; this did not happen here.

9.1

Looking for a B&B in The Vatican vicinity a few days prior to departure to Rome, we were very fortunate and "very lucky" to find a room vacant in such a prime property. Of course we "studied" reviews of other choices as well, but none came up to the excellent rating of this B&B. We were not to be disappointed, and we express our compliments on running an excellent, very efficient, well organized, modern, clean and comfortable Bed & Breakfast residence. Our emphasis is not necessarily placed on the word "breakfast", however, may we say, that we were overwhelmed by the choice, qualitity and quantity. Furthermore, the privacy of having breakfast served in the room is another plus point we appreciated and enjoyed. If we are allowed to make one small recommendation, it is, that all the polyester towels (minimal absorbent) be replaced by cotton towels. To get away from the bustle of the inner city, this residence is in the perfect vicinity, especially for visiting the Vatican (a stone´s throw away), and the METRO and bus routes are just around the corner. Best B&B is easy to find and in a very long street with quite a few family run businesses, small shops, cafes and restaurants. There are also local main shopping streets, other restaurants and "fast food" localities in abundance. This area is clean and safe, and we had no hostile experiences at all during our whole stay in Rome. As far as choice of restaurants go, there are all price categories around, so it´s a matter of making one´s own experience. On a final note, we certainly recommend Best B&B as an excellant choice for all age groups. Enjoy Rome! Mike and Ulla

10

excellent location in the centre of Rome! the staff is fiendly and professional, the pictures in the rooms are fantastic! unforgettable breakfast!

8.0

Convenient and clean place to stay. The beds were comfortable, nice bath with good size shower. We had a wonderful breakfast every morning. We had a serious problem on our second day as there was no hot water for showers. We informed the service person that morning, but it was not fixed until the next day. Also there was a nice TV in the room but only two English channels on the satellite systems. There were probably a hundred channels but only the BBC and Euronews was in English. Of course, we did not stay in our room much, but a TV at bedtime would have been nice. All considered, I would stay there again.

10

It was awesome, you basically have the run of the house (loft). From the outside you may get a a bit scared, but once you enter this converted apartment, you are completely amazed. The rooms are small, but very Modern and very clean. There is a common room with a computer, some books and DVD'S, where you can hang out with your other housemates. Your are on your own through the night, there is no conceierge. In the morning you are provided with Breakfast in your room and I am not talking about Cheese and Bread, I am talking, eggs, breakfast meats, cheese, fruit, cereal, coffee..etc...that is all made by this terrific woman, who comes in just to cook and clean....Location is perfect if you are visiting the Vatican and St. Peters....I highly recommend this for couples or singles travelling without children..

8.6

It was first time to visit Rome and we found nice and cosy place near the Vatican, good service, nice and quiet place to stay.

9.9

The Best B&B Vatican was just as pictured. The location was excellent being by the subway stop and there is an ATM just outside the front entrance. The breakfast was huge as others had advised. We arrived at 10 am and we left our luggage and came back at 12 pm when the cleaning lady advised our room would be ready. I would highly recommend this location!

10

unfotunately we spent only one night at best vatican but it was a fantasti experience. the best option to spent your roman holiday!

10

excellent location! just few minutes from the Vatica and close to metro station (3 station to Spaninish steps). the staff is very friendly and professional. the breakfast is served in your room and is really fantastic.

9.2

Unser Städtetrip in Rom war hervorragend. Sehr empfehlenswert, aber ein paar Tage danach zum Ausruhen, sollte man auf jeden Fall einplanen. :-) Unsere Füße waren sehr platt gelaufen. Das B&B Best (Vatican) ist nur zu empfehlen. Die Größe der Zimmer ist ausreichend, sehr sauber. Auch das Bad ist sehr sauber, aber vielleicht ein bißchen klein. Die Bilder täuschen nichts vor, die Zimmer sind genau wie in der Beschreibung. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig für römische Verhältnisse. Man konnte sich jeden Morgen aussuchen, welches Getränk (Kaffee, Cappucchino, Espresso, Tee) man trinken möchte und wie man sein Ei haben möchte (Gekochtes, Spiegelei, Rührei mit oder ohne Schinken). Also nettes Personal, also wir kommen gerne wieder. Für diejenigen, die es interessiert, es gibt auch dt. Fernsehen (ZDF, RTL2, DW,). Zum Vatikanischen Museum bzw. zum Petersplatz sind es noch nicht mal 10 Minuten (wenn man langsam geht) ebenso wie zur Einkaufsstraße "Via Cola di Rienzo". Es ist alles sehr schön fussläufig. Also rundum ein gelungener Städtetrip, gerne wieder, sehr zu empfehlen....

9.6

Beautiful Rooms and very helpfull staff. I loved the free access to a computer/internet and the free DVD's. Also the breakfasts were delicious...one of the highlights of our days. I would definitly recommend Best B&B to any friends or family who were planning on visiting Rome.

10

100% quality and courtesy. we enjoyed our stay at Vatican B&B as the best B&B we found in our trip in Italy. thanks to Nicoleta and Rudolpho

7.5

My wife and I make the following comments: The breakfast was surprisingly good. The bathroom was well equipped but too small for 2 people. The room was small and spartanly furnished with only a few open shelves and 2 drawers. The window did not open to the street but to an unattractive inner court so that the blinds could not be left open. One certainly could not stay in the room except for the night and the breakfast. If necessary, we would return to this Bed & Breakfast because of the very convenient location.

8.9

Very good service, excellent location, nice surroundings as it is in walking distance to vatican but also to the historic center.

10

not to loose!!!

9.9

Excellent accommodation. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Close to public transportation and many pleasant restaurants in the immediate neigborhood. When you come to Rome - stay here!

10

The best B&B we have ever stayed in. No complaints at all. Would recommend it to every body we know. We had a wonderful stay!

9.3

Great bed and breakfast, the breakfast was fantastic and the room spacious and clean. The only thing I was not a fan of was their non-absorbent towels..otherwise I really liked the proximity to the Vatican and to the Metro station. Great place! Would stay there again.

7.6

Room is much smaller than it appears online. That was a minor disappointment. The breakfast was delicious and delivered at exactly the time we ordered. The location was very handy to the Metro and the Vatican.

9.5

Best Vatican B&B lives up to its name. It was our second stay there and we would return. There was a young couple with young kids in a neighbororing room and their kids screemed a lot.

8.9

I had never been to Rome before, and came not only for a break with my partner but also to play in a concert at the Auditorium. Despite a bit of initial confusion as to which lift we had to get to find the apartment, once we arrived at the room, we were met with a very inviting welcome. Nothing seemed to be a problem and it seemed everything I asked for could be catered for. As I had had an unfortunate incident on the way to the B&B (my guitar was stolen at Termini station before I could even play my concert!), I was hopeful I could find a replacement for hire locally, and our host Emanuele, being a musician as well, was very supportive and suggested places I could try. I was also extremely grateful for being able to have free access to the Internet whilst there. Our stay at the B&B was very enjoyable while we were there, and after a full day's sightseeing or day's rehearsing, very welcome to come back to. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the decor was modern with a great bathroom/shower and flat screen TV in the room with virtually every channel available (but no BBC!). In the morning, the breakfast was wheeled by trolley into our room and was very satisfying, and more than enough to keep you going for the rest of the day. The location was ideal, being a stone's throw from a Metro station, and being not only within very easy (10-15 minutes) walking distance of Vatican City but also to the other main attractions in Rome. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars in the local area, as well as a wide range of quality shops to spend your Euros in. Unfortunately I contracted food poisoning (not from the B&B I must add!)on my last night in Rome so was in no state to say a big thank you to anyone at the B&B, but I can now through this review. I would definitely return here if I came back to Rome, and would recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in a very comfortable, central location at a value-for-money price.

8.8

I highly recommend this accomodation. We will stay there again.

8.3

Location next to Metro-stop (line A). 10 Mins walking time to Vatican. B&B has only 4 rooms but it's a great place to stay! Great breakfast as well.

7.3

The place is nice and it is very close the subway. The breakfast is fine. The big problem is the noise - from 7 AM you can hear the lady that is preparing the breakfast or what are doing the other guests. Except this remark, everything else is ok, but don't count on watching TV...

10

Excellent B&B. Great room, wonderful location, fantastic breakfast. The tricky thing is the entrance. When you arrive for the first time, as you enter the building do not turn right, go straight on through a small courtyard. Then take a tiny lift to the 3rd floor.

Rooms are new and very well furnished. Really nice.But they are also very small: actually we had not the space either to put our baggage down, we had to put them onto the table. Bathroom really great!Beautiful, large shower. The sorroundings are very quiet, but be sure not to have a couple next door, because you would hear everything!!

We stayed at the Best and loved it! It is truly the BEST.

We had such a great time in Rome and in your snug B&B that the sporadic noises didn't really annoy us. To be honest the brekfast we got was excellent ,therefore I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestion in regard to give. I'm looking forward to staying in your B&B again ... Thanks a lot

we highly recommend this b&b: the location is great - a 5 min walk to st. peter´s and also very close to piazza navona etc. the metro station is just around the corner. the service provided was excellent, especially breakfast! the area is very nice and safe, too. if you don´t know where to dine, just ask and you will be recommended some restaurants around the corner. we would like to thank the bb&b-team for having such a nice stay in roma.

I had to wait one hour before he came.

Very nice clean rooms. Crisp modern decor, but leaving a less than cozy feel. Was a bit noisy with other guests coming and going but no street noise. The keys were quite large and difficult to use. Breakfasts were wonderful as others have mentioned. An abundance of meat, cheese, pastries etc. The morning staff was able to accomodate our early departure with an early breakfast. Very convenient location around the corner from the Metro and bus stops.

The B&B was clean and large by Rome standards. They also had free computer internet access and a small lounge area. The location was not too close to major attractions but many good restaurants around. The staff did not speak English at all but were very friendly and tried to accommodate all we asked. The breakfast was by far the best and had tons to offer. We wished we had that breakfast every morning. They also arranged for a shuttle from the airport that was on-time and waited as we searched for lost luggage. The only negative was that I tried to contact them later in our trip to arrange another airport shuttle and they never answered and there was no voice mail. I had no problem communicating over e-mail but would have liked the option to contact someone live if I needed. There is someone there from 7am-10am only and other than that you are on your own. Overall, a great place to stay and worth the price.

7.1

We had to leave early because my mother died in the US and although they helped us with transportation to the airport, no refund was made for the additional two night we paid in advance. I thought this was unkind and inconsiderate, it's not like we could have planned in advance for a death in the family.

Tout a été parfait : l'acceuil personnalisé ou l'on nous explique tout sur la chambre et la ville, la propreté et la "qualité" des matériaux de la chambre, le petit déjeuner qui permet de tenir le rythme d'une journée effrénée de visites, l'emplacement qui est un coin peu touristique (ca repose le soir) et proche de tout (5 min a pied du vatican). Vraiment ravis de ce séjour ! A reccomander

Newly redecorated hotel/B&B within 8-10 minute walk of the Vatican. Very nice facility and neighborhood. Very close to Metro, which we used daily. Had internet in the common lounge which was very convenient and available 24 hours per day. Overall a very nice and convenient place. Would stay agin when back in that area.

Siamo stati al bed and breakfast una sola notte purtroppo...Ci siamo trovati splendidamente:stanza bella e pulita(scelta di arredamento decisamente minimal,ma di gusto buono),bagno piccolo,ma funzionale,colazione in camera ricca e ben srvita,La posizione è ottimale soprattutto per chi,come noi,ha impegni in zona vaticano o desidera soprattutto visitare quella parte della città.(cmq la metro è vicinissima e ti porta ovunque) Magari se ci fossimo fermati più a lungo il soggiorno sarebbe stato un po' troppo costoso..

The staff at Best (Vatican) were pleasant and friendly. The breakfast was as good as portrayed on the web. However, the room was much smaller than appeared. The "42 inch" television (both in our room and in another I saw) was only 15 to 17 inches at best. We were told that the small one was there because the large one was out for repair. The bathroom was clean, but much smaller than portrayed on the web, and the shower had no place to hold soap, so you either held it in your hand or had to keep it outside the shower. Also, there was no bidet as shown on the web. We payed extra for a double "superior" room, but could not see what was superior about the room. There was no offer to reduce the price for the lack of the large screen TV or the bathroom. There was also no offer of a discount for a cash payment. The young ladies who cleaned the rooms and prepared the breakfasts were extremly nice. The owners were also pleasant but relatively invisible. They were, however, extremely helpful in obtaining a car to get to the airport. The surrounding neighborhood was a little shabby as was the entrance to the building. This bed and breakfast is really meant for young people.

We LOVED the Best Vatican location and we WILL stay here again if we come back to Rome in the future. Everything was very clean and this was very important to me as I sometimes shower wearing flip-flops if I doubt the cleanliness of an establishment, however, this was certainly NOT the case at the Best B&B, which was very clean. The bedspread was a spotless white duvet cover which I analyzed for any questionable spots. There were NONE!! It was very clean (to my relief) and I had no reservations about sitting on it as I do in some places that have garish floral comforters that are only used so that they can hide the stains. Another nice touch is that they had us select what we wanted for breakfast ahead of time on paper and hang it outside our door. My husband had scrambled eggs and we both had freshly made cappuccinos along with several other typical breakfast items that were rolled in to us personally on a cart to enjoy privately in our room. On the last day we had to leave for the airport at like 4 a.m. and the housekeeper arranged an advanced breakfast in our room the night before so that we could have something quick before our early departure. Our friends were in the next room and they equally had good things to say about the Best B&B. As far as the surroundings, there was a classy bar that we had some late night cocktails at, and this was only 2 min. walk on the same street. There were a few restaurants 5 min. walk away. But the street was very quiet and seemed like it was mostly residential. (We seemed to be the loudest on it) In the building, we were taking the elevator up and a man came out of his apartment and asked us to keep it down, his wife behind him in curlers. So needless to say, it was a pretty quiet area. The only noise we could hear in our room was our friend singing next door in their shower.

I would recommend this accomodation for anyone who is visiting Rome for sight seeing and wants to be in a quiet street but near main attractions and the metro station. This b&b is very central. Not so good if you don't like lifts and can't manage 3 flights of stairs but good excercise if you can! Fantastic continental breakfast each morning brough to your room, choose what you like. Very clean spacious modern rooms. Recommended for couples in their 20s-40s

Best Vatican is a small Bed & Breakfast of only 4 bedrooms, but is well worth considering if you prefer this type of property to a big hotel. The room we had (Number 4)was small but very clean & tidy, with a window onto the central courtyard. The bathroom was small but neat. An outstanding breakfast is delivered to your room every morning by the friendly staff, you really do need to see it to appreciate it. Our only complaint would be that the bed was a bit hard for our taste & the sitting space a bit small, but these are small points. We enjoyed our week long stay & I would recomend this property.

9.8

This is an excellent location for visiting the Vatican and for access to the easy-to-use Metro to visit other attractions. Welcoming and information on transport, attractions and restaurants were great. It was very comfortable for our first two nights after a long flight and the driver service from the airport was definitely worth the charge. If you arrange for this, when you come out of the arrivals area look for the long line of drivers with signs with names. You have to walk out of the first space a few steps. Breakfast was exceptional and delivered at exactly the time ordered by very friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely stay again.

9.8

we went for my 50th birthday, the service was excellent and the breakfast was superb, the rooms are very modern and plenty of room, you had a choice of breakfast time between 7.50 and 9.00 and if you ordered your breakfast for a given time it was always on time ,overall we enjoyed the best vatican and would readily return.

9.3

The breakfasts and minibar pricers were exceptionally good value, and the room was very comfortable. The directions which were provided were also very good, as there are a few twists and turns to find the place. We did have difficulty getting into the property initially, and had to call the number listed on the doorbell to get in, however I would absolutely not hesitate to stay there again.
