Marina Velca Vacations from $754

The room/furnishings were tired and worn. The bathtub/shower was really high and difficult to get in and out. The shower curtain was mildewed and disgusting. Breakfast each morning was lovely. The hotel does seem to be doing some renovations- libby carpet was replaced during our stay.

First, this is no a traditional hotel. It’s two floors of a dirty old apartment building. You enter via door code next to several trash cans and walk up two flights of stairs to an elevator to the third floor reception, which is only open 8am-3pm. Staff was helpful providing after hours access via WhatsApp chat. The room was fortunately cleaner and brighter than the stairway and corridor, which stank of cigarette smoke, with modern finishes. However, the air conditioning did not work and since there’s no on-site staff, it was not addressed until the following day. Additionally, the best was among the oldest, least comfortable my wife or I have ever tried to sleep on. Lots of corridor noise throughout the night. We ended up departing after only one night into our three night stay so we could better sleep.

Perfect location for Vatican, rooms are quite and very clean , lovely staff
