Prima Guest House Collection

Prati

"The room is competitively priced in a convenient location. It’s easy to access the local metro station or bus stop, or even walk to the Vatican City or a bar. The staff here was faultless, very kind and helpful. However, the bathroom has patches of black mold in, the “shower gel” was watered down and there was no safe. We found that our room was incredibly dark during the day and noisy during the night - not just the expected street noise but the fridge would wail all night long. My husband...

Top Vatican City Hotel Reviews

Excellence Suite

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Excellence Suite before our cruise. The location is ideal — within easy walking distance of the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Barberini, and so many interesting streets, neighborhoods, restaurants, and sights. It was a great base for exploring Rome on foot. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They also arranged our transportation from the airport when we arrived and our transfer to the cruise port in Civitavecchia, which made both ends of our stay incredibly easy. Our room and bathroom were both a very good size, especially considering the age and location of the building. Another big plus is that the building has an elevator — something you definitely can’t take for granted in an older building in the center of Rome, especially when traveling with luggage! The combination of the central location, comfortable accommodations, and genuinely helpful staff made Excellence Suite a great choice for our time in Rome. We would happily stay here again."

Hotel Abruzzi

8/10 Good

"The property is in a building a couple of blocks, on a back alley, not in front y of the panteón as advertised so that felt deceiving when we arrived. However, the room was big, and modern, and of course in a great location. They should said that form the beginning and that will be ok. There is nothing wrong with please except the misleading."

P.S. loved opening the French windows just like they do in the movies =)"
