Top St. Peter's Basilica Hotel Reviews

Trianon Borgo Pio

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant! Great breakfast buffet, has a kitchen and extra room, few feet away from very nice restaurants just behind the property! Great airconditioning."

Massimi City Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was excellent and so was the breakfast every morning. The only thing that turned me off was the area the hotel is located in. The neighborhood it sits in is run-down. There was overgrown landscaping everywhere the city needs to clean up. Also, there was a lot of graffiti spray painted on walls in the area. The neighborhood did not appear to be clean at all. I was taken aback when we pulled up and prayed the hotel would not be the same inside. If I could pick the hotel up and place it in a nicer area, I would. The area it sits in does it no justice."

Starhotels Michelangelo

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here for our honeymoon!! The property is clean, the staff is friendly, and the location was excellent with it being just around the corner from Vatican city and only about a 40 minute walk to other points of interest. 10/10 would definitely stay here again when we come back :)"

Grand Hotel Olympic

8/10 Good

"went with friends, reception staff were very helpful, we kept our bags after check out due to having a later flight and they were accommodating to this. good location hotel, near the vatican, supermarkets, bus stops and amazing restaurants. we had a nice balcony room which was spacious and clean, also cleaned every morning which was great! shower and bathroom had an odd smell every time we’d come back to the hotel in the evening, not sure what this was due, we guessed it was something to do with the shower and drains as the water had the same smell. air con was amazing and very powerful, made sleeping during the night in the heat a lot more enjoyable and easier. breakfast was okay, very limited with a few options, but was average! city tax was originally €70 but this increased to €90, and we were told this once we arrived to the hotel, no explanation for the increase, and never paid more than €20 in city tax so this was unusual but we didn’t mind it. overall, good stay and worth it for the price"
