Everything was fine, but I didn't know what AirB&B was. I thought it was a hotel. I was traveling and didn't have internet... I thought I might arrive late, I had already paid for the night... but nobody opened the door for me... the building was closed. I couldn't communicate.

Nice place to stay in Rome

Very nice host. The location is very walkable to the Vatican City and there is a bus stop right across the street that goes to city center of Rome. The building is a bit old but the rooms are cleaned everyday.

Disappointing experience

I recently stayed at this hotel and was disappointed with my experience. While I understand that it's a budget-friendly option, I still expected a certain level of quality and service. Unfortunately, the room was not suitable for the number of guests it was advertised to accommodate. The check-in process was also more complicated than necessary, requiring us to wait for the admin to respond to our messages. Upon entering the room, I was surprised to find that it was not clean and tidy. The refrigerator had leftover food from previous guests, the floor was dirty, and the balcony was in a poor state. When I brought these issues to the attention of the admin, they did not take responsibility for the cleanliness of the room and only partially addressed the issues. The bathroom was also lacking in basic amenities, such as towels and hand soap. I had to go out and purchase these items myself, which was inconvenient. The bathroom features and amenities were also subpar, with a broken shower and low water pressure. The internet connection in the room was slow and unreliable, and stopped working altogether towards the end of my stay. When I reported this issue, I did not receive a response from the admin. Overall, I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel and would not recommend it to others.

Pope's window not available,moved to Via Tritone

Unfortunately, we were put in alternative accommodation so I'll start the review by saying I can't comment on the pope's window. If you are also moved to an alternative booking, mine was Tritone 125 suite, located in Via Tritone. The apartment is actually more expensive to rent I believe but it's located in an expensive area of Rome, so have this in mind. The apartment Aircon is poor, it was 24 degrees in the apartment with Aircon on. Paola is a good host in that she communicates well and is very helpful.

I had a wonderful stay at The Pope's Window. Close to the Vatican, food, and a shopping mall. I was alone and felt extremely safe walking around the area at night. Paola was an excellent host. There was a wifi connection problem but she was very accommodating and took the time to give me directions on how to get around. I took the bus to the square to see the Pantheon and the Trevi fountain. It was super convenient. The room was super clean and I had access to a TV and air-conditioning. Paolo recommended a great restaurant Cresi for breakfast. I had such a good time that I hope to visit again!

Amazing staff!

Planned a 17 day graduation trip for our son. Our family stayed at a variety of accommodations, but Pope's Window was definitely our favorite! They hit all the marks with cleanliness, a comfortable mattresses, great bedding quality, a beautifully decorated space, amazing balcony view but Paola turned our stay to an amazing experience! She reached out a couple of days prior to welcome us and met us in person at check in. We were only in Rome for a day, so she suggested her favorite dinner and breakfast spots which were amazing, helped with understanding how to get around the city/to the airport and the popular spots to make the most of the time we had to enjoy the city. There are lots of great hotels out there, but the people with passion, that care about their guests make all the difference!
