MISLEADING DESCRIPTION AND POOR SERVICE.
I had to wait outside for an hour. No one let us in! It was a resident going in that finally let us into the property. The host was not so friendly. Finally it SHOULD NOT BE ADVERTISED AS A HOTEL, it is MISLEADING!

Disliked: Staff & service
When I checked in I was a required to call and as a tourist with an international SIM my phone wasn’t making outgoing calls so I had trouble reaching staff. There is no buzzer or anything to get into the building. The room was clean but the AC stopped working in the evening and every time I tried to turn it on it would make horrible clicking noises. The walls here are paper thin and the property is next to a major roadway so it’s extremely loud and you can’t sleep all night. Overall stay away do not recommend.

The worst hotel so far, Emanuela was one of the staff members and was just awful. This property was advertised as bed and breakfast, but no breakfast was provided, said that reception is at property form 9am-9pm, we arrived around 2pm and no one was there. We went out to explore the city, came back at 8pm and no one was there. In the kitchen, they have a signed that says, we were able to keep keys if luggage is left at property in the morning, when called Emanuela to confirmed, she expected us to leave luggage at property unattended and out in the kitchen even though there were other tenants in the same apartment with access to kitchen. Ineludible helpful and nice person was Rafael, he was nice enough to explain and allow us to take keys. Even thought it says that staff is onsite, do not expect them to be there, all communication was thru phone and WhatsApp only. Only time I saw Emanuela’s face was when we came back for check out. No document to sign just simply pay city tax but her attitude was incredibly rude. On website they mentioned Shuttle from and to airport for 15 euros per person, but when asked Emanuela told me 60 euros, but property sign says 50 eeuros. Called a Uber taxi and I was charged 45 euros. I definitely won’t come back would neither recommend this mess.

The place isn’t an hotel, is just an apartment with a few bedrooms and the kitchen is shared by everyone. If you need to warm up your food or some milk for you or your children is no way because the place doesn’t have a microwave available just a kettle for hot water. But the place is okay for the price. The clean the floors and changed the bins bags every day and they changed our bed sheets after 3 days. The are is okay as well, is a few places where you can eat and supermarket. Is easily accessible to Vatican as well and you have a bus stop in front of the building. We like it and the staff was okay.

It was ok, the staff that greeted us was terrible!! They advertise their kitchen as having snacks, they don’t, the faucets in the bathroom had rust on them. The zone is good since it has a taxi stop right by it, and a coffee shop called Ill Papagallo which was fantastic!!

Amendment to let night's post on this small "hotel
I would like to amend my previous review. The thing that really threw me off was that no one was here to greet me and I had no idea what to do. It was extremely frustrating. I was tired from the trip and angry that I was not told that no one would be here and what to do in that case. I had their text number in my phone so luckily I called and got assistance over the phone, But there were several issues so I had to call several times. On the + side, the room is clean and updated, the staff person that was here at 9:30 was lovely and very helpful with directions, the location is good for walking to Vatican City (30 min or so) but the general area is not the most fancy, Overall I am more pleased than I was last night,

Tucked away apartment, not that well signed. Very clean & spacious room, helpful staff. Unfortunately our room looked out onto a busy road junction so there was quite a lot of traffic noise. Breakfast was a bit limited but you do have 24hr access to the kitchen for drinks & snacks.

Welcome stay at Vatican Relais.
We shared as a couple, a very lovely room at the Vatican Relais. Our double room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was nice too with the towels changed daily Loved being able to use the Apartment's share kitchen/diner whenever we wanted. There is a great coffee machine and plenty of milk and fruit juice to hand. Can help yourself 24hrs a day. Breakfast was cereals and cake was on offer for breakfast, but it was no problem bringing in a few extras to eat and drink with these. There is a large supermarket about 8 mins walk away. We were made to feel very welcome during our stay. Would highly recommend.

What you see is what you get
I was expecting this to be a hotel however it was more like B&B, but dont let this put you off. The receptionist Angelica is a star she showed me and my boyfriend all the places to visit. She was super helpful. The area of the hotel is nice is not much in the city so you can escape a little from the touristic vibe. You can be at the city within 20mins. The bathroom is very big but I found the shower a bit small, I am a small person and I found it small I kept on banging against the shower walls. Overall we loved it and definitely recommend the place
