Aurelio hotels

When I booked this hotel, I was curious as to what to expect as it was my first trip abroad without family . As soon as my friend and I stepped in at 1:30 am , we were treated perfectly and the gentleman at the reception counter was very considerate given the time of our arrival. The room was simple but very well kept and despite the thin walls , I had a very good nights sleep each night. The bathroom facilities put my own shower to shame!! The location of the hotel was perfect as we were in the close proximity to the Cornelia metro station for getting into Rome itself (Vatican was 3 stops away) and some lovely restaurants. Every time we had a question , it was answered helpfully by the hotel staff (despite our difficult grasp of Italian, which I hope to learn to the same degree as the staff's English). I wouldn't just recommend this hotel, I will probably come back myself if I'm ever in Rome again.

This hotel had great staff and amenities. While on a large and beautiful property outside the city, there were frequent buses for 1,50 Euro pp to go into city. The pool and outdoor areas are beautiful and rooms were good size.

This Vatican "Pilgrimage" hotel is a great place in Rome: it's quiet and easily accessible by bus, with a lovely garden. It's almost too swanky now: I've stayed here in the 1980's when it was really spartan: showers down the hall, no AC, no baths in each room, no tv... a real Roman experience. Now it has all those things. The staff is friendly and very helpful, the rooms are clean and basic, but with phones, tv, baths, AC, etc. The bar is fairly basic, and the breakfast: well, if one avoids the instant eggs and greasy bacon, the rest is great. Here's the deal with Domus Pacis: Rome, especially in the summer is HOT and LOUD, this place is quiet and cool, easily accessible by bus to the Vatican (they'll even offer you Vatican stamps and postal service, the fastest in Italy). By American standards, it's not chic at all, but it's very reasonably priced and quite safe. Now getting to the bus stop is a bit of an experience, since the road in front is very busy, and, to get into Rome one has to go right, cross the street, and catch the bus on the opposite side of the road. Still, my mother (who has trouble walking about), my wife and my 13 year old daughter all really liked it. It's my third stay here, and I when I'm in Rome again, I plan to return. For American standards: well above a Motel 6, sort of like a Holiday Inn Express, but a bit more spartan (no workout room, say). Hope that helps some of you understand the character of the place. dCiao!

Hotel was fine food ok and rooms very clean and tidy , the only problem I had was getting ice , there never seemed to be any , it was very hot during my stay and that was the only complaint I have , maybe they should have an ice machine in the hotel lobby that would solve the problem .

This was not the first time I have stayed at the Raganelli. I have taken groups and Explorica tours to the hotel and the staff, rooms and accommodations are always nice.

We had a great stay and most of the staff will do anything to help you. It only takes an hour to get into Rome during the day, but the bus only comes every hour on Sundays. The bus is not very comfortable either.

I was expecting a lot less. But the minute we came around the corner and saw the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. It was on an oasis in urban Rome. The guy at the counter was happily explaining hiw to get around Rome to a new guest. We got to the room and the sheets were clean like they were pressed. Impressive that the room fit a king and a twin size bed with room to spare! The place is a 15 minute walk from the Vatican but the bus stop is a 5 minute walk away. Enjoy the scenery; be a local and blend in. Get a 4-day or weekly metro pass. If you can manage it, get a car. We brought our 10-year old and we never got a complaint about the walk. We would stay here again!

5 day holiday seeing the sights of Rome hotel was close to rome with the cheap shuttle easy access to everything food was incredible the whole trip was memorable and would defiantly return

Out of town but metro superb. Great hotel had terrace so sunshine and wine in the afternoon. Staff fantastic we got ice, wine glasses, cork screw and very helpful for info. Thanks to all the wonderful staff we loved Rome Kind regards Graeme and Anya

The desk manager is welcoming. I was shown to my room readily, the room being and well laid out. For a woman travelling alone, I heartily recommend this hotel. The lobby and all common areas are comfortable, clean, and above all present as safe. The room service manager also keeps in mind the comfort of her guests. She brought me flowers after my first day. The neighborhood of the hotel is quite appealing as well. I book a second stay at the Cardinal Hotel St Peter, and toward the end of the stay, my mother will be joining me. I only recommend hotels of high caliber (either a well deserving 3* or higher) as a place for my mother, a retired educator, to enjoy. I am very much looking forward to our joint stay at the 4* rated Hotel Cardinal St Peter.
