Great location, across the street from the Vatican. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Would stay again
The lobby was welcoming as was the staff. However, the staff was less than helpful about getting around town. Their pat answer was take a taxi. One staff member said "the buses are not running today; take a taxi" In fact the buses were running. The staff should be more forthcoming in ground transportation. The rooms were clean, linens were luxurious. The hotel was on a side street off the main road and was quiet from the continuouis traffic. There was no chair to sit on in the room only a stool and so that made reading or relaxing requiring one to lie on the bed.
Everything was very nice and the location is close to Vatican
This hotel is next to Vatican City but on the non-touristy side. It is elegant and clean. Nice breakfast area. They will even help with parking which was a big concern for me. An easy walk to Castel sant’angelo, Piazza Navona and the pantheon as well. Enjoyed my stay here and I have stayed in Rome many times
We needed a hotel close to the Vatican and this hotel was perfect. Our room was comfortable, clean and had all the amenities we needed. The staff was very courteous and ready to help. The breakfast was delicious. I will for sure come back to this hotel even if I don't need to be next to the Vatican.
Friendly and helpful staff, clean, modern, fairly quiet, and a absolutely perfect starting point for the Vatican tours. Good breakfast, overall good value for the money. Packaged together from Orbitz with the flights and airport transportation, it's location and quality removed any stress and enabled a fairly last minute--but long-planned-- visit to become a great long weekend.
One of the Bell boys were rude to my grandma and I when we locked ourselves out of our rooms. After that event, he would either give us a dirty look or would not even look at us. However, the other the staff were very nice and welcoming. The cleaning service and the breakfast buffet service was excellent.
We spent four nights at this hotel and the staff was helpful.
Booked through Orbitz and was supposed to have two queen beds but only one with a pullout. I called orbitz and the next night was moved to adjoining rooms. Thanks Orbitz!! Hotel was great, Staff was great everywhere but front desk.
Great Location can walk to Vatican City in 5 minutes. Hop on Hop off Bus 10 minute walk. Lots of Restaurants and shopping! Wonderful Staff! Very Clean. Great Breakfast and Great Value!
The staff really go above and beyond! The concierge Simone was wonderful! The breakfast was delicious. Room was nicely appointed. Easy walk to Vatican, Palace,and hop on hop off bus. Dozens of restaurants and shops nearby.
Hotel staff very friendly, helpful, very clean room, spacious. Great food at the restaurant.
Our stay at the Starhotels Michelangelo was a short 2 nights - but we loved the proximity to Vatican City and also to the St. Pietro rail station.
Very good staff, nice and friendly. Good Breakfast, quiet place.
Nice comfortable stay. Walking distance to Vatican
The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location is very convenient for the Basilica, Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo, and only a 15-20 minute walk from the metro station. Room was very clean, bathroom was beautiful. Nice little patio to relax even in winter. The only thing the room didn't have was an iron, but I wasn't expecting one in Europe. I would definitely consider staying here again when I return to Rome.
We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. We would stay here again.
Room is great and location is close to Vatican. Neat, clean!
Very nice and a great location recommend it highly
This hotel is great for anyone looking to spend significant time at/near the Vatican-which was our main purpose for being in Rome. It's pretty out of the way for anything else. The hotel is beautiful and breakfast is good. Shower pressure was good, the blow dryer could have been better. For us, the most disappointing thing about the hotel was the staff. Aside from Alessandro in the morning who helped us check in (although even he mistakenly gave us misinformation), most of the front desk staff is not helpful. In fact, they can be down right rude. Eduardo and Phillip (I believe were their names) who had most of the evening shifts at the front desk seemed inconvenienced any time we asked them for something. It was very off-putting. Even the bar tender at the lobby bar did not even crack a smile when we were there. Just not very friendly at all. Pretty disappointing.
