The building is gorgeous, and I could see the Vatican from there. My room had a great shower. It includes two separate sinks, which really helped in the morning. The daily cleaning was also a big plus.
The breakfast room seemed a bit dark.

fantastic stay near st peter's basilica!
great assistance good selection helpful staff
The location was convenient for visiting st peter's basilica! it was practically next door. the staff were really helpful, especially claudia at reception, she provided great assistance. breakfast offered a good selection. I found plenty of options to start my day.
I had a small room. It was quite basic. the bathroom was also tiny, the shower area had only a curtain separating it from the rest of the room. this meant the floor was always wet after showering.

The hotel is situated within walking distance of st peter's cathedral. I measured it to be approximately 50 meters! this proximity made visiting the basilica easy and convenient for daily mass.
