As we travelled with our son, the hotel in in the 6th floor, but the lift only goes to the 5th floor we need to carry the pushchair and stuff one floor, is not to much but if you have a toddler and many our traveling then yes is a bit inconvenient

How cosy was the place, the room was big, the gentleman in the reception was very helpful. 100% recommended

Very close to Vatican city and metro bus stop right next to the stay to take bus to colosseum and other popular destinations. Very private and the elevator was helpful to go up-to 5th floor. Staffs very amazing, two ladies during our stay took care of us very well, totally forgot their names. All the staffs were very welcoming and friendly. One staff helped my wife to carry a heavy bag that she was struggling.

Nothing to fault!

The apartment was exceptional on all counts. Me and my family were spending a short time in Rome and this location didn’t disappoint: the staff were super helpful, friendly and very accommodating to all our needs. The apartment was very spacious, modern, and clean! Loved it and would definitely recommend to any family.

This boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. It is strategically located near the Vatican, only 10 Minutes walk to the St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican Museum and a few minutes walk to the Ottaviano Metro Station. There are lots of Restaurants, Bars, Grocery Stores and Shops scattered around the area. We booked for a Double Superior Room but we were surprised our room was upgraded to a Junior Suit Spa. The huge room was immaculate, very clean and has a distict charm, the wooden ceiling is just lovely. The view overlooking the Saint Peter's Dome is a big surpise. The bathroom/spa room, equipped with a Jacuzzi and a Finish Sauna,  is even bigger than the bedroom itself. The Jacuzzi was a treat after a long day of walking during a hot summer day. Most of the staffs are Filipinos. No wonder, they are very friendly, professional and very attentive of our needs. Special mention to the young guy at the reception who gave us a very warm welcome (unfortunatey I could not remember his name), to Pauline and Maple. The breakfast was something to look forward to. With great variety, it offers fresh, high quality products and the Staff gave an excellent service. My only concern was the airconditioning in our room, we could not adjust it based on our desired temperature, especially during a hot summer day. But over all, it was a fantastic stay. The Place 217 is really a gem at the heart of Rome. If you get the chance to book a room at this small lovely hotel,  take the chance and you won't definitely get disappointed.

Terrific staff, and very accommodating. The facilities were superb and spotless including the room and the common sitting room. This was the most comfortable bed we both have slept in in a hotel in Italy, and we have stayed at many. The breakfast was truly outstanding. It would have held up well at a restaurant with a Michelin star. We stayed here for proximity to an appointment, but it was blocks away from the Vatican and on a street with plenty of shopping, cafes, and restaurants. Highly recommend.

My only complaint is the shower drain was clogged which left standing water while using.

We absolutely LOVED our time here. We were traveling on our honeymoon and the staff there were so welcoming and provided a wonderful atmosphere. We loved the neighborhood it was very walkable, the vatican was roughly a 10 minute walk while other popular attractions were a 30 minute walk. We had an early train on our departure day and staff were accommodating with leaving grab and go pastries in our room. The bed was very comfortable we got wonderful rest!! Please book here if you have the chance!

Aircon could have been better, room was ok but we like it cold. This was mid July so very hot in Rome. If like us you like to come back to your hotel for a drink following a day out, choices are limited. Beer, Wine, Fizz. There isn't a bar etc. Probably my fault for not researching properly. Location it is a 50min walk to the Colosseum, not an issue in cool weather but in 31 degrees a struggle.

Location is great if you want to be near the Vatican. Room was very big with all you could need for a very comfortable stay and very tastefully decorated. There are loads of facilities round about, local shops and lovely restaurants.

Excellent accommodation choice in Rome. Just a 10-minute walk from the entrance to the Vatican. The place was very clean and the staff helpful. A parking garage is just a few minutes away. We will definitely return.

The property was very nice and spacious. We enjoyed the excellent quality and the air conditing soothing us after a long day of walking in the humid and sweltering air. The location that the property was placed, was the prime spot for shopping and exquisite restraunts. The staff helped us and did a great job on explaining all of the parts that were needed to be completed in order to be able to enjoy our experience.

There wasn't anything I didn't dislike as I stayed there last year and went back because I was impressed . I am already thinking of going back again for my third stay as the staff made my experience special . A shout out to Rhia and Mari for making me decaf Cappuccino whenever I wanted , thanks .

I liked the peace and calm of the Hotel , the location is excellent as the Vatican was 5 to 10 minutes walk , Piazza Del Popolo was 10 minutes and that leads to some great shops and lots of sights to be seen etc , etc . Nice restaurants not far from the Hotel's location in Prati , a nice neighbourhood .

The fan didn't really help, so it was a bit tricky to cool down the room at times. It wasn't a big issue for us but could be problematic in the summer heat.

Very nice, spacious room. Location is great, quiet neighbourhood close to Vatican City. We were able to walk everywhere. Great breakfast too!

The breakfast was a little simple but still good!

Everything was great! We had a room with a spa and sauna, it was huge! The bed and pillows were also very comfy. It was very quiet and the views from the windows were great! Although it’s a bit out of the Rome centre it’s actually a lovely neighbourhood with great shops (the nearby gelato was the best we found in Italy). It’s also very easy to get to the city (walk,bus or metro). Plaid it’s very close to the Vatican Staff were lovely and very helpful!

It would have been helpful to know (in advance) that the property is located in a building that has other tenants and that an elevator is required for access to the fifth floor, with then a walk up one flight.

The room and jacuzzi sweet were lovely. Clean, very comfortable, quiet. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff.
