Reviews of Vatican Central Suites

Good value for Rome. Inside set up was quite clever, several rooms with a small shared kitchen

It felt quite far out. We got the buses wrong and ended up with a fine. There weren't many shops or restaurants nearby, which was tricky, as we needed gluten free. 4 beds in 1 room was a really tight squeeze. Lift was practically unusable for our whole stay. We only worked out how to close the shutters on our last morning.

Plenty of beds for our family. Loved the balcony. Felt secure. Near the bus stop and short walk to the metro!

The AC wasn’t very strong and the bed legs were a bit broken, although functional. Difficult to locate and get checked in.

The apartment was clean and the stuff was very nice and communicative. There is a bus stop very close by so it was pretty easy to get to the center of the city...There is also a micro market around the corner which was super helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Very close to Vatican and metro station ( Valle Aurelia) which links to Vatican, trevi fountain , spagna. Very convenient ! Room was clean and just what you need for travelling to Rome as you will be out most of the time. John was excellent ! Brilliant hospitality and made a difference to the stay . Kuya John if you are reading this, thank you!! Pahinga ka rin!! Overall and excellent stay , value for money and location! Will recommend!!

The Staff and room. Very clean environment with excellent air conditioner and good coffee in the morning.

I liked everything!

The location was great, the apartment was clean and the staff on the reception was very helpful. Most importantly, there was a coffee machine in the communal area.

Didn't like the lift, it was very small.

We liked everything, the staff is very helpful and friendly. They answered all our questions. The room was clean and well kept.

The experience was amazing! Let's start of with the location. The location is amazing, with perfect streets, a mini market outside, and a bus stop named Pio VIII. Secondly, the hotel room was amazing and comfortable... soft beds, comfy quilts and pillows, and amazing washroom with all facilities needed. A mini fridge and a bottle of water was provided as well. Lastly, a huge shout out to JON... He is an amazing receptionist who guided us with everything from bus tickets to how to reach major attractions. He is very respectful and super helpful. Overall, Vatican Central Suites is extraordinary and great value for money!! Highly recommended.

Everything was flawless!!

The hotel staff were wonderful with us, helping us either everything we needed.

I wish there were more stores and restaurants closer to the hotel.

Room is clean.

Bathroom is a little bit old.

The staff was very kind and available to help in any necessities you may need. The room is very clean and easy to find! Also very close to the metro station, bus stop and the Vatican City.

Our recent stay at a converted apartment-hotel near the Vatican was highly disappointing, marked by management neglect and serious maintenance issues. For perspective, we are uk property professionals with quite a bit of experience using budget accommodations/holiday parks in Italy. Plumbing Problems The toilet cistern leaked constantly, creating puddles we had to manage with towels. The manager was more concerned about our towel usage than fixing the leak, ready to extra charge. Black mold was visible behind toilet and cistern, with poor ventilation and persistent dampness. The shower had weak water pressure and inconsistent temperatures, scalding issues, requiring awkward adjustments with other taps just to get a usable flow. Room Deficiencies No proper wardrobe, just a curtained corner and a small, barely usable table. Ineffective heating from air con, not working radiators, uncomfortable for cold weather. Bed cover was removed after the first day, only returned on our last day after multiple requests. Management Concerns Maintenance complaints were largely ignored or met with deflection, basically fixes to be done when they feel comfortable. We were offered a discount at checkout to cancel our booking, seemingly to prevent a public review while saving their portal fees, no discount with a chance of giving honest review. We paid in full so you can see it. Post-stay, management disputed the number of guests with the platform, 2 to 3, kid sleep with us, despite agreeing beforehand to avoid paying any sort of compensation, and not addressing any issue. Accessibility Issues The building’s elevator was outdated with inner/outer manual doors. If left open on any floor, the entire system stopped, which is challenging with luggage or for families. Summary We cannot recommend this property due to severe infrastructure, maintenance, and management issues. Travelers seeking comfort and reliability would likely have a better experience elsewhere.
