Highly recommended.
It was a great stay. Rudi was an excellent host. The place is right across the Vatican Museum, St.Peter's Basilica is just a 5-minute walk and St. Michael's castle a 10-minute walk.

Fantastic Location!
Just across the road from the Vatican Museum, plenty of local restaurants and a fresh fish and fruit market within 100 metres! We only used the subway once, if you are reasonably fit the Colosseum is within walking distance. This must be one of the best locations in Rome! The room is an ok size with a window to the side, so not much traffic noise, however I suspect to the room with a front facing window may not be so good. Having use of the kitchen was a big bonus for us. The bed was not too comfortable and the fitted sheet unsatisfactory. The shower in the ensuite is not very good either. The temperature in the room seemed to vary between chilly and cool, but late January can be chilly anyway. Overall, at less than 45 Euros per night including the 6 Euro per night City tax, this hotel is good value

Close location to the Vatican
Rudy, the host is most kind and accommodating - make me feel very much at home. Upon my arrival, he gave me a map and his business card with all the information. He showed me how to get around - go to the Vatican Museum, which is just across the street, and the St. Peter's Basilica. And also, recommended restaurants and supermarket nearby.

cheap basic great location
We missed our flight to Rome from Auckland.I was impressed that the owner still kept in touch with us during this stressful time.Without his knowledge we would not have covered most tourist destinations in one day by foot.He was able to tell us where to go.

Good for short stays
This is a nice hotel, but it is very basic so it's probably best suited as s base camp or for short stays. It's clean, and has a bed, TV, private bathroom , etc. It's generally clean and well managed. There's access to the kitchen all day if you want to prepare food or make a cup of tea. The owner is incredibly helpful. He speaks good English, (which is great if you don't speak Italian like me) and will make your stay as smooth as possible. He does genuinely care about his guests. If you want to see anything located in Vatican City then this hotel is in a great spot. It's facing the museum, (if you want to visit try to get in for about 15:50 because the queue will have subsided by then), and a short walk from St. Peter's Square and the Vatican. I would recommend this hotel, but I think it would suit younger people more as it is lacking in a few comforts which some people might want.

Vatican delight
This B&B is located across the street from the Vatcan museum and 5 minutes from St. Peter's Square, making it ideal if you want to spend time at the Vatcan. 7 minutes from the Metro in case you want to see Rome. The owner (Rudi) gave us a map and showed us how to get around Rome. It was clean and cute.

Great experience at this B&B.
This B&B was was extremely nice and had a great location. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed or wanted was supplied. But the best part of the whole experience was all the extras Rudi did for us. He went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of in every way possible. He helped us plan our way around, and made sure we knew where we were going. He advised us on do's and don'ts while in Rome. He made sure that we enjoyed our stay and had a great time. He was absolutely the greatest host. If we ever travel to Rome in the future, we would definitely stay here again.

A lovely B&B - would recommend
Really enjoyed our stay at B&B Vatican Museum. Rudi and Claudia were lovely hosts, setting us up with maps and advice, and helping with questions we had. The room and bathroom were clean and lovely. The premises felt very safe and secure. We really appreciated having access to a well-equipped kitchen, stocked with everyday essentials. The location is great - literally across the road from the Vatican Museums. You can very easily walk to other parts of Rome, or they are accessible with convenient public transport. Overall, a lovely stay in Rome.

Great location & staff - YOU WILL FEEL LIKE HOME!
One of the most important thing to us, while staying, was to have accomodation on a good location and this B&B met this request in total! Eith a location right across entrance to Musei Vaticani, we could easily reach almost all places we wanted to visit by foot. Room cleanliness was also on a high level - room was being vleaned every day. Even though at the begining we didn't think it will be that important, room has a shared kitchen. At arrival Rudi (owner of B&B) suggested how we can use it, pointed at couple of close-by supermarkets and explained the benefit. I must say that this was the most useful and money-saving advice! Last but not least, the staff! Rudi was great - he waited for us, helped us with upfront prepared map, fast-info and small advices. As I wrote in the titel - we felt like home! For those travelers who find this important - this B&B is no1 in Rome. Thanks Rudi! Boka and I are sending greetings from Montenegro to Ana, Claudia and you....

Excellent location
With a supermarket a block or so away, we supplemented our breakfast with procuitto and cheese, etc. The host was very gracious and helpful. The B and B is located just across the street from the entrance to the Vatican Museum, convenient to metro (4 blocks) and buses (2 blocks). The room itself was very comfortable.

Rudi and his family were brilliant. When we got there he got a map out and told us the places to go for food and tips on travel. There was food refilled every morning, given your own keys to come and go. Doesn't look the best from outside but very secure.

Satisfactory Stay
The B&B was in a great location. Rudy was a delightful host. I was very concerned that he did not ask for a photocopy of our passports to register the tax and that he requested cash for the payment of the room. Every other accomadation requested passport and card payment. I would stay again if ever in Rome.

This is the Perfect Place to stay in Rome!!!!! The Owner is the nicest man ever After we made our reservation online he called us while we were still in the US He speaks Good English and gave us directions as to how to get to his Bed and Breakfeast. He was waiting on us on the walkway just outside to welcome us. He had a map ready for us and a list of recommended restaurants The Location is Perfect in close proximity to the main attractions and the metro It is Literally across the street from the Vatican Museum. The room is simple and clean and has a private bathroom. He provides water and snacks. We would definitely stay here Again!!!

great location
Me and my daughter enjoyed the helpful service of the owner, giving us a map with tips for bus and metro-use and even recommended restaurants. The use of the kitchen was very helpful to prepare sandwiches for the day. A supermarket is around the corner. The negative things were the very soft matress of the bed, the mould in the corners of the room and bathroom, the loud noise of the water filling system of the toilet. But the location is worth coping with is for a short time.

Lovely stay in a lovely B&B
We had an absolute amazing time, Rudi and his wife welcomed us in the B&B with open hearts and gave the absolute best advice about activities in Rome, good restaurants, transports etc. The room was great and so reasonably priced for high season in Rome, every single day we found it cleaned very nicely. The kitchen was great, the fridge and the cupboard full of useful products refilled everyday. The location was great. In short I would recommend it to anyone whom is going to Rome.

LOVED THIS B&B!!!!
I LOVED this B&B!! While the bedroom and bathroom were on the smaller side, I wasn't staying there to enjoy the room, I was staying there to see and enjoy Rome. I have never had a more delightful stay at any hotel that I have stayed at in my life. Rudi was very hospitable, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the location excellent! This B&B is located directly across from the Vatican Museum, which extremely convenient. The breakfast provided was pastries and yogurts as well as milk juice and a selection of jellies to go along with the loaf of bread provided. While simple, it was most definitely good. I had free access to a very clean and well organized kitchen. And don't be concerned about the noise associated with being directly across the street from the Vatican Museum because I didn't really hear anything. I only had one problem while staying here and it wasn't Rudi's fault, it was the fault of Hotels.com. Rudi only takes cash and your credit card is only used to reserve your room. This information should have v een listed, but due to some error on Hotels.com, it was not. At first Rudi assumed that I just didn't see it on his B&B's page but then I showed him all my emails and his page, and he was upset simply because it was an inconvenience for ME to have to find a way to get the cash. In my opinion, the best review one can give regarding a hotel, is to say that if I was ever in Rome again, this is where I would stay. So I recommend to anyone and everyone considering staying here to do so because you won't regret it. Rudy likes to say you arrive as a guest and leave as a friend, and I completely agree.

Incredible time and an incredible owner.
Stayed at the b&b for 6 days. Used the rooms, and the place is very cute. Used the kitchen everyday, and are given snacks, water, yogert, juice, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. All included. Beautiful area right in front Vatican entrance. The owner is by far the reason you want to stay. He is an incredible guy who makes sure he takes full care of everything for you, and can help you out with any questions about your visit to Rome. His wife is wonderful and the room was always clean and cozy. He is a gem in the Rome area, and you will not find a better suitor for what you need for your trip. I had a blast, and being at this hotel was the perfect balance to that.

Lovely owner, nice location, screaming baby
This is a charming little hotel - excellent for the price. Rudi, the owner, is a great source of information and incredibly kind. The hotel is clean, access to the kitchen (complete with breakfast, yoghurt, juice, and coffee anytime of day) is great. Location is fantastic for touring Vatican City and buses/metro give really easy access to downtown. Normal amount of street noise for Rome. Fair warning for the downsides however - the owner and wife live in the hotel with an incredibly loud, fussy 9 month old baby. We could hear the baby through the thin walls every time it cried at night . . . and this baby cries incessantly and louder than ear plugs can block out. Once the child has grown out of screaming, this will be an excellent place to stay.

Outstanding Service
Rudi the owner was more than helpful. He met us at the time we requested, and was able to give us many local tips and places to see. Our next stop was Pompei and he gave us detailed instructions of where to go and what to look out for. The fridge and cupboards were stocked and were free for us to use. He gave us his personal mobile number incase we ran into any trouble, or had any questions, and welcomed us to call him later in our trip. The B&B itself was better than described, facilities were brilliant (free flowing showers etc) and very clean. One of the best places we have stayed on our 3 Month eurotrip. Location is great for vatican City, as the B&B is directly across the road from Vatican Museum. highly reccommend staying with Rudi, you will not be disappointed at all

Very good location, very small bedroom
Overall the stay was fine. The location was great, it really is directly across the street from the Vatican Museum entrance. However, the traffic never stops on the road and the bedroom window that we had was on the street and people were driving by at all hours of the night. The service and attentiveness we received were fantastic. Thank you! The food was good and plenty of it, more than we could eat even. A note for others, the Museum is free on Sundays, however the line gets REALLY long quickly so get up early if you want to get in. Good place, I recommend it.

Like a second home!
Vatican Museum is like a second home. If you don't like the cold environment of a regular hotel and would prefer a cosy place like a second home, this is the right place for you. The owners, Rudy and Claudia are extremely likable. They give you the keys, teach you how to prepare your breakfast / cook, sit with you to talk about Rome and things to see and leave you alone to enjoy Rome. The breakfast is simple, but it's the way they have breakfast in Italy. Some fruits, Italian small cakes, coffee and milk. The location is fantastic! Get off the metro at the Otaviano station and follow the signs to the Vatican Museum. It's exactly on the on the opposite side of the street. I'd definitely stay there again!
