This is always a wonderful place to stay when we are in Rome. They helped us to arrange transport from the airport to the hotel even though it was a very busy time. The only thing that is sad is that they have canceled their dinner/cocktail service in the evening.

Absolutely wonderful hidden gem. We’ve stayed here every time we’ve come to Rome and it’s always worth it. Yes, it’s a bit of a walk from major monuments but the safety and cleanliness of being in Vatican City compared to the rest of Rome is unparalleled. The hotel itself is world class as being in an ancient monetary. You won’t be disappointed.

Had a wondeful 3 night stay here. Room (superior double) was comfortable and well furnished, if a bit spare in terms of decor. As many have noted, bathroom is very small, though I found it to be manageable. Breakfast was decent with good fresh fruit options, but otherwise unremarkable. Appreciated the daily complementary beverage restocks. The daily gospel excerpts were also a great touch. Staff was friendly and helpful for info and arranging tickets and tours.

Hotel was excellent.

The best upgrade we've ever had! Upgraded from deluxe room to garden suite. Facilities were spotless and superb by any standards. Our bedroom even had a painted ceiling in a similar style to those in many of the churches. The management could not have been more pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. Location on the Via Della Conciliazone right outside Vatican City. We like walking and were able to walk to all the classic historic sites from our hotel. The longest walk, to the Colosseum, was only 40 minutes, and very pleasant walking in the shade by the river. We had a brilliant 4 days/nights and were so pleased we had booked the Palazzo Cardinal Cesi. Don't usually bother writing a review but the hotel deserves it. Thank you.
