3 star Vatican - Prati hotels in Rome, Italy

The hotel came simply as advertised, friendly staff, amazing breakfast with loads to choose from. They also offer evening meals but we choose to eat out. Rooms were of good size, clean, serviced daily and air-conditioned. Totally served its purpose. Most importantly it is about 15 minutes walk to the Vatican museums, St Peters square and within easy commute via the Metro to other attractions such as Trevi fountain, Collisuem. The airport is 30 minutes away via taxi non rush hour or about 1hr 30 minutes using public transport.

This is a very comfortable and well-run hotel that is so close to the Vatican that you can get there in time for the earliest of entrances. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful when we need to see a doctor. The rooms are well serviced, but rather on the small side even with a balcony. Good breakfasts added to our enjoyment. Perhaps not the best location for the main sites in the city but very close to Cipro metro station and a wonderful ice cream shop. Plenty of places to eat nearby if you walk too far during the day, which is very easy to do.

Hotel was very nice and staff was helpfull and they all spoke English. Room was a good size, very clean and comfortable.

Wonderful location, breakfast and staff! Room was clean and beautiful.

This hotel is perfectly located and very clean and comfortable. The only reason it is a three star is due to plastic cups at breakfast and a basic breakfast at that, but sufficient. They have no restaurant but with all the local options you really don't need one. Everything else about this hotel is easily 4 star plus. The rooms are large and the bathrooms are modern. The hot water never runs out either. Our bed was two large singles pushed together but you wouldn't have know if you weren't looking for it. It was comfortable.

We liked the location, only a few minutes walk from St. Peter's Basilica. But the beds were quite hard. Also, we picked this because they said a shuttle was available, but the hotel had no shuttle. We just had to get one at the airport. The room was good sized and the bathroom was nice.

This quaint, boutique was a wonderful choice. It is only a 10 minute walk from the Vatican and is very conveniently located. The staff is most courteous and helpful, especially Carlos and Alphonso. The breakfast buffet is very nicely presented and will give you plenty of fuel to tour the city of Rome. I would definitely use this hotel and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends!

We arrived at the hotel early, so we dropped off our bags, and the hotel staff stored them safely until the room was ready, then placed the luggage in the room for us. The room was clean, with nice decor and plenty of space. Breakfast was offered, although we didn't take advantage of it, so cannot comment on the quality. The hotel is in a great location, close to Lepanto Metro station, 10 mins walk to Castel Sant Angelo and about 15-20 mins walk from the Vatican. I recommend buying a tourist ticket for the metro. €16.50 for three days worth of metro, bus, and local train transport. The Metro is very limited in Rome, so if you don't like to walk, the bus will be a saviour for you! Check out was smooth, but be advised that the tourist tax imposed by the city of Rome is not included in your rates, so you'll pay €2 per person per night upon checkout. Another top tip: A taxi from Ciampino airport is about €55, and some taxis charge extra for suitcases! We booked a chauffeur-driven car in advance. It was €40 each way, and we were met at arrivals by a driver in a suit with an iPad with our names on, who led us to a black Mercedes E Class, turned up the AC, and whisked us to our destination. Great service. We used Blacklane Limos. They have an iPhone app, which allows you to book and track your trip, and sends you a notification when your driver has arrived. Massively recommended. They're available in tons of major cities.

While I feel like Italians are not necessarily friendly and could actually come off as rude, the staff here was very friendly and helpful. The guy in charge of the desk was very polite, gave us a map and explain to us how to get around by public transportation which saved us a lot of cash. Highly recommend this hotel, clean and comfortable bedrooms, excellent for its price.

This hotel was a 7 minute walk down hill to the Vatican. Giuseppe spoke English very well which made it easy for Mom and me to check in late and tour the facility. This B&B has 4 rooms with bathrooms, a common area with free water (or free fizzy water :)) and free Italian coffee or Nescafé. Breakfast is included but it is not cooked. It is a normal Italian breakfast with croissants, other breakfast snacks and juice. We had a wonderful view of the Vatican wall with an orange tree draping over the side. There is an area down the street to the left with a couple of local Italian ristorantes. We ate there our first night around 10 pm. The B&B operates like small apartments. You have keys to the gate, the front door, the apartment and your room. VERY secure. We we're able to leave our luggage at the hotel the day we were checking out for several hours while we saw the sites! We had a great time at this hotel and it was well worth the money!! I would absolutely book this hotel again if/when I return to Roma!
