Bed and Breakfast Vatican Museum - Rome

I and my husband were in Rome for three days holiday. We were welcomed by houseowners of Vatican Museum B&B. Our expectations were met with their good service and other facilities. Thanks a lot to Claudia and Rudi for their kind hospitality.

Wonderful location and Rudy is very welcoming. Literally across the street from the Vatican Museum and only a few blocks from the Metro so it's very easy to get around Rome from there.

Very nice place with friendly atmosphere and excellent italian espresso:-)to spend your vacation in Rome. clean and so close to get anywhere***** defenetly recommend!

The owners gave a lot of helpful advice about where to eat, getting around Rome etc. It was nice to have free access to the kitchen. Great location to visit the Vatican and its museums. The historical centre is also within walking distance. The rooms may seem basic on first sight, but they have everything you need (including a safe). Definitely recommended.

Good adress if you like to stay near the Vatican and its Museum: you can look at the queue from the housedoor. The street is not quiet, lots of traffic during the night. Rudy and Claudia like to make your stay a perfect stay and give you all the information you want. The kitchen gave us extra room not only for breakfast. We had a pleasant stay !

The hotel is located very well, we found it easily as we had used google map, it's not a long way from the metro station. THe room was exactly the one from the photo. It was warm, though the weather was not very nice. Rudi and Claudia were extremely helpful and hospitable providing with all necessary information and help. The bathroom was big enough containing a shower, bidet and toilet, the water always hot enough and good pressure. It was great to be able to use the kitchen. We shared it with neighbours, but we practically didn't see them.WE would certainly recommend this hotel to other travellers as having good balance of price and quality. Andrey. Swetlana.

Great hosts, intro info,kitchen.Supermarket around the corner. 10 minute + walk to metro but bus stop right at front door. Pricey BUT it is Roma. Felt very safe. Major draw was convenience to the Museum and St. Peters.

The Location just opposit from Vatican Museum Entrance.You can find it with very small sign But It's very nice place.

Right across the road from the Vatican museum, close to metro and buses going to all the historic landmarks. Owners Rudy and Claudia went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect, and it was. They were incredibly helpful, accomodating, and a pleasure to speak with. Breakfasts are fresh and filling, and you get use of full kitchen and shared fridge. There are wifi signals across the street and around the corner on the steps. The room we had was certainly not the most spacious or beautiful that you could find, but it was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep every night; the private in-room bathroom a definite plus. I would enthusiastically recommend this B&B.

Wonderful hosts, a young couple, who were conscientious and organised. They gave us lots of information about transport, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing etc when we first arrived to help us enjoy our stay. Opposite the Vatican Museum is a safe and central place to be. Access to all sites is close by. Room was kept clean and the use of a good size kitchen was wonderful. Found the markets at the end of our stay - great food etc at good prices. Ask Rudi how to get there!

I proprietari sono accoglienti e disponibili La struttura è adeguata al prezzo Bagno e camera puliti Posizione ottima Colazine discreta

I was going to rate this B&B really high, until the last night when we were viciously attacked by bed bugs. The first 3 nights were trouble-free. My guess is that the owner forgot to spray the bed on the last night we were there. So I am concerned about the potential safety/health issues associated with the bug spray used on our bed. It would have been a perfect stay for us, if it wasn't for the bed bugs. The B&B would offer great value for overall service. Breakfast was packaged and had reasonable varieties, although everything was a little too sugary to my taste. The room was decent size by European standards. Location was convenient -- right across from the Vatican and 5-10 minutes walk to buses and a metro station. The owner was super-friendly and helpful. I just hope that he could rid off the bed bug problem soon, and then it would be perfect.

This was our 1st visit to Rome and we had a fantastic time. The owners were fantastic and very helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day and the kitchen area restocked dailey. The location was fantastic. Would recommend and would stay there again

This place was great! What a perfect place to stay to see the Vatican Museum - it is right across the street!

An excellent location for visiting the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. It’s near (2 min.) from metro station and bus stops which provides communication with other parts of Rome center. Very helpful, friendly and open owners (Rudi and Claudia) who provided us information about visit to Rome (public transport, recommended cheap restaurants, markets). Rudi speak english very well. The rooms were very clean, kitchen enough for us. The breakfast was very good for us. I recommend this B&B.

Bed and Breakfast Vatican Museum is excellent value for money. It is easy to find located across the street from the entrance to the Vatican Museum and a short walk from St Peter's Basilica. Breakfast consists of prepacked croissants and rolls but there is a very reasonable supermarked just around the corner if you need anything else. It was very convenient to be able to use the kitchen at any time. The owners Claudia and Rudi were very welcoming and helpful, on arrival they gave us maps and informaion, answered all our questions and recommended restaurants where we would not be ripped off. One night we were too tired to walk very far so ate near St Peter's and did get ripped off..check the price of everything you order especially wine! I would reccomed this accommodation and would stay there again.

I could never expect to find a B&B in Rome like this! The holders were so helpful that they told us everything about the city, the surroundings and even the next place we were going to visit! The room we stayed is along the street so there was a little noisy during the night, but we were not care about it. The breakfast was not rich but enough for us. They have a large kicthen which have almost everything that you want to do your cooking.

The owner is very helpful and very welcoming. He makes sure you definitely enjoy your stay in Rome. The location can be a little louder than most, but who goes to Rome to stay in your room?!? We were so tired from being out in the city that we fell asleep right away.

Great place to stay, very helpfull and friendly owners. Clean. I would ecommend this place and would go back here if we go to Rome again :)

If you want to stay in Rome, this is the place. Its straight opposite the vatican museum and is a short distance from most major attractions. The owners Rudy and Claudia are unbelievebly hospitable and take personl care about your stay in Rome. If I go back to rome, this is the place i will stay!!! 5 stars!!!

Rudi and Claudia were wonderfully welcoming and this is the most perfect location for the Vatican City. However, the room was absolutely baking hot (in August) and they do not have air conditioning. There was a room fan but it was not powerful enough to cool things down. At one point, I opened the door to the outside to try and get some fresher cooler air and Claudia told me I had to keep it closed. The breakfast was disappointing, pre-packaged danishes and some bread and jam and yoghurt but nothing fresh. However, the location can't be beat.

This hotel was excellent, Rudy told us where was the market, which buses to use, Italian local restaurants etc. As we like to cook ourselves we used kitchen a lot, a fridge was very handy!!! Hotels staff was excellent!

Very helpful and open English-speaking staff who provided us full information about visit to Rome (public transport, recommended cheap restaurants, supermarkets). Book - guides to Rome accesible. B&B near to the Vatican Museum (about 100 m, ideal location) and Basilica of S. Pietro.

Me and my husband used this B&B place for our first trip to Italy. We enjoyed the stay and the owners are very nice. I think the property is great value for the money. It is located near a metro station. We didn't have a car on our trip and it was helpful to be near public transportation. The entrance to the B&B right across the street from the Vatican museum entrance.

Wenn man eine günstige Unterkunft in der Innenstadt sucht und keinen Wert auf reichhaltiges Frühstück legt, ist das B&B Vatican Museum perfekt geeignet. Die Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer ist zwar einfach, aber sauber. Absolut empfehlenswert!

It took a while to get used to the steps in the bathroom. Traffic noise was loud but not "fatal." General location is terrific. Hosts were pleasant and helpful. Being able to use the kitchen made a huge difference for us.

About 1/2 level below street level. Modern, clean, good size with private bath and washroom. Kitchen and breakfast area is provided separately for guests (there are only 2 rooms in that level so you only have to share it with another guest). Food is not allowed in the room and you have to do your own clean up if you use the kitchen/breakfast room. Television is provided in each room and the Breakfast area. Location: conveniently located right accross the entrance of the Vatican Museum. From the Metro train terminal, the nearest route to the B&B is through the Ciprio/Musei Vaticani stop. This route is convenient if you don't have any luggage as there is a stairs to climb (around 50 to 60 steps). If you have luggages, the best stop is Ottaviano/San Pietro stop, a little longer walk but no stairs to climb. Cash Only payment. Transpo to the Fiumicino/Leonardo Da Vinci Airport - A limousine service is available for 30 euros plus tip (just advise the owners, Rudy and Claudia) if you're interested). We found it reasonable as we had 3 small but heavy luggages otherwise the Metro train is still okay.

B&B Vatican Museum was a great choice for us. It was a very convienient location. The street noise was a little loud. The hosts were wonderful and extremely helpful to us. We could not have asked for better hosts.

Fantastic location for a good price, with the benefit of being able to use the facilities during the day. Great hosts, good accomodation, kitchen could be better, especially the cooking machine. But overall, the perfect score. And the hosts were very helpful and forthcoming.

Good choice, if you don't want an expensive hotel in rome - brilliant location, nice people. From outside it doesn't look very welcoming, but inside Rudi and Claudia did their best to make it comfortable! Although it was a small room with a soft french bed (1,40 or 1,60m for 2 people?) and with a window to the street, it was warm, comfortable and clean! If you don't want to spend so much money in accomodation, its the perfect choice for a b&b!

Everything was perfect.Someone written that the Vatican area is noisy.....but in front of the most important museum of the world is understandable.Special thanks to Rudi e Claudia for all information about restaurant and pizzerie and for to hold our luggage. We'll recommed this place.

An excellent location for visiting the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. The facility was very clean and private. There are several restuarants within a short walking distance. Bus service to other landmarks is quite reliable and inexpensive. The owners were very nice and helpful in guiding us to reputable restuarants and other establishments to ensure we were not taken advantage of. They also reserved a taxi for our departure to the airport at a very reasonable price. This was far less than other people paid for the same distance. I would definately recommend it to budget minding people and would not hesitate to stay there again.

The friendliness and helpfullness of the staff was absolutely fantastic. They sat us down as soon as we arrived and gave us a map and a list of value for money restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend this B & B for anyone who is looking for budget accommodation in a central location in Rome.

If you are looking for a convenient and safe location near the Vatican and the Vatican Museums, this B&B cannot be beaten. Rudi was very helpful in arranging a car to the airport. There is a full kitchen available for guests. It is located just across the street from the entrance to the museum, so there is a lot of street traffic. The only drawback would be a lact of air conditioning in the summer, but in October we were very comfortable. We stayed 2 nights. Rudi recommended an excellent, non-touristy restaurant-- La Tavernetta.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was pretty familial. The two existing rooms are very modern and clean. Furthermore you have got a kitchen for yourself. Therefore it is ideal if you travel with 4 persons, so that you have the whole equipment on your own.

Although it looked not so nice at first glance, we were surprised with the facilities and the service was great! I recommend for anyone who wants a cheap and comfortable stay in Rome. The Vatican Museum is on the other side of the street!!!

Staff were welcoming, Kitchen ideal for self catering. have tried to rebook but no vacancies. Position of B&B excellent for Vatican Museum.

We stayed 2 nights. The staff/owner was incredible friendly, helpful and welcoming (we get free postcards, a town-map and tipps for restaurants and city-tours from them and of course a quick orange-juice-drink because we arrived by motorbike and it was very warm). The location is few metres from the vatican museum therefore very easy to find. The room was very small but functional and - in fact: who wants to stay in his room when he ist in Rome? The kitchen is functional, clean and you can make a good breakfast of your own (the Italien stuff is there) because you can use the fridge. The room has no climatronic which is less well when you stay longer than few days. But look on the price! We are looking forward to come again, perfect location for a short stay in Rome. Highly recommended!

Wir waren drei Tag

This is my 6th time in Rome.Vatican Museum is the best B&B that i stayed.Clean, friendly staff, and just in front of the Vatican Museums.The breakfast provided was very good, and the use of kitchen was excellent. I will reccomend this place.

Myself and my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed a 5-night stay at the Vatican Bed & Breakfast. Shortly before our stay, we received a confirmation e-mail asking of our arrival time, and also giving the link to the lodgings website. This had great directions on but it really IS right in front of the entrance to the Vatican Museums! On arrival, we were warmly greeted and shown round the communal kitchen facilities, pointed to the local amenities and given maps and local information for places to visit and eat. The room was of a good size, comfortable and the bathroom was also clean and functional. As others have mentioned, breakfast was very convenient being a make-it-yourself affair: bread, cereal, tea, coffee, juice and cakes all available as well as the use of cupboards and fridge should you wish to purchase anything from either of the 2 supermarkets, both within a 2-minute walk. Overall, a great place to stay - close enough to walk over the river to ancient Rome, else the Metro service is only a 5-minute walk! Don't be put-off by the comments about noise; yes, the road is relatively busy, but so is the rest of Rome. Watch out for the scooters!

Every thing was so good, the room was very clean, the kitchen, the common area, the welcoming every thing was very good. The location is wonderful, just across the vatican museums, very practical. The breakfast even if is package was good and abundant, the juice selecion were good. I recomend this bed a breakfast for every body who wants to go.

Best place in Rome!Just in front of the Vatican Museums.Very clean and confortable,the host Rudi e Claudia are friendly and too helpful.Free use of kitchen and supermarkets so close was perfect for a nice and cheap holiday.

Perfect place for staying in Rome. Just in fornt of the Vatican Museums entrance and close to most tourist places. Hosts are very warm and helpfull end the place is clean. There is even a kitchen which can be used.

This was a great place to stay. Very, very clean and convenient to the Vatican. The managers were excellent, friendly, helpful, and really kept the place very nice and clean. I would definately stay here again.

Excellent, Very pleasent people and in an amazing location, I will be using the RomAntica again, a stones throw from the Sistine chapel and the Vatican. Excellent facilites for both couples and families.

I would highly recomend this accomodation to all visitors in Rome for its absolutely perfect location, cleasess of rooms and warm welcoming and service of its hots, who provided us with important information where to eat, where to go for a drink etc. This B&B is going through renovaton right now (November 2006), so I suppose, that in following months, this place will be even better than I have experienced.

I have been to Roma many times. And it was the first time that I've been in a bed&breakfast, and I was happy to have been there. claudia and Rudy are very friendly and nice and help you resolve all problems you have. And also the other guests at RomAntica have been very nice and friendly. I'll turn back in this nice place...a guest from Austria...Brigitte Pibal

We had a really nice time in Roma and we felt wellcome!!! We got a appartment instead of two rooms, which was quite better for our group (4 persons/2couples) Thank you very much for your good service and the informations about Roma, which was a great help. We will come to Roma again for sure - and we will be in the "Romantica" Best wishes! Rosi, Hannes, Maria, Andreas PS: Ein echter Tipp... Die Lage in Rom ist ausgesprochen gut (Petersplatz in 10 min zu Fuß) Der Vermieter ist engagiert und sehr freundlich und gibt auch sehr gute Tipps am Beginn (er hat sich 2 h Zeit genommen) Ganz in der Nähe gibt es außerdem Roms beste Cornetteria (ein Muss!!!) Die 4 Tage waren unsere erste Erkundung Roms, der weitere folgen werden...

People and place was very nice. Please make sure to call the owners before you arrive.

Loved the RomAntica! We had a room with private bath. The bathroom and shower were spotless...the cleanest we encountered on our entire trip. The location was excellent as it was right across the street from the Vatican. The room was a bit noisy as it is right on the road, but we were able to sleep easily. Breakfast consists of pre-wrapped pastries, but there was a good selection. I would stay here again.

Athought the hotel has only three rooms available for guests, I recommend this hotel for its Vantica Museum location and warmth welcoming.

We felt quite comfortable there and would book this place again at any time. The hosts were very friendly and informed us about everything you must know in Rome, Restaurants included. The sanitary facilities were clean, the room also. The pension is situated perfectly to reach anything you want to within relatively short time.

Excelent place, staff and situation... just a little bit noisey at night with street traffic... bring the earplugs!!!

Claudia & Rudi: thanks for the days with you. We will see us again in Rome!

Minuses: in common bath, one must mop up after a shower as water is not contained in the shower stall; kitchen is small (hotplate, fridge, etc.) and for small meals only; common area is essentially just the kitchen which one reaches immediately on entry to the establishment; outside noise (passersby, traffic, idling scooters) may bother light sleepers. Breakfast items are provided (cornetti, cakes, etc.) along with make-it-yourself coffee. Plusses: wonderful, friendly, helpful staff (Rudi & Claudia, a young couple); superb location directly across street from entrance to Vatican Museums, 2 blocks or so from Metro entrance, walking distance from Pantheon, Forum, etc.; bedrooms are reasonably large and very clean. A superb value. We will stay here again on our next trip to Rome. Very highly recommended.

Very good B&B. Best place in Rome. Good price. Everythink good. If i have to come back to Rome it's sure that i'll back to RomAntica.

We were surprised at the size of the B ans B. When you walked in through the front door, you were already in the common area and kitchen, which was very small. There was a small table, a few maps, a small fridge, hotplate, and a few shelves to store your own food. Do not count on a breakfast. If you want to make your own coffee on a hotplate and pot, and dig through the small fridge for some stale bread and old Nutella to spread on it, that's about all that is provided. The hosts were nice enough, but never around. But when they were, they were pretty6 helpful. The rooms are very small (as many are in Europe). But I had to step over my medium sized suitcase to get around the bed to get tto the bathroom. Bathroom was ok. A mop was provided for post-shower clean up. Don't expect your bed to be made or new towels after you have used them. We were in a busy area, and I realize it was on a busy steet. But do not stay here if you are a light sleeper. There were cars, buses and scooters (not to mention people) right out side our window. It's a good place to 'crash', but for the price, you can find better options.

The only thing negative was having to mop up the floors after a shower but this seems to be a general issue in Rome

I highly recommend this hotel. It is 2 minutes away from the vatican museums and metro. The room was very clean and Claudia (owner) was very welcoming and helpful.

Very friendly and helpful staff provided us a beautiful time in Rome!
