The room was spotless and the service absolutely AMAZING! The location was awesome. Walking distance to the Vatican was a big PLUS for us.
We had been traveling for 3 weeks and this was my favorite hotel. It’s a charming boutique hotel, clean and well maintained, comfortably beds and the best helpful staff. They made our last few days in Rome memorable.
We had a great stay. Close to the Vatican and restaurants. The staff is very friendly. The lovely lady working the front desk was very friendly to us and gave us great recommendations. We would love to stay here again!
We traveled to Italy with friends this summer. This location was very convenient for what we had planned during our visit. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I would recommend this location and definitely stay here again. Grazie!
The hotel was lovely but the walls were very think and I could hear snoring from another room. I was staying alone and someone coughing in another room woke me up. The bed was very comfortable and the pillow was equal parts firm and soft so could have been an amazing stay but for hearing everything in the rooms that share a wall with me.
Fantastic little hotel by the Vatican. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff was warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend if visiting Rome.
In spite of the air conditioner outage, we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff is second to none. Always a welcoming smile, a friendly word and eagerly helpful. You couldn't ask for a better location. Within walking distance to the Vatican and transportation, as well as great neighborhood eats and shops. You can't go wrong with a stay at the Eccelso Hotel.
Our stay was wonderful at this hotel!
Very well located close to a lot of restaurants that aren’t a tourist trap. Rooms are clean and comfortable, very easy to enter and exit the hotel. Francesca was so kind and so helpful when we were stuck without a taxi trying to get to the train station.
Situated in a lovely location, much more upmarket than other areas. A nice sized and modern room with a comforting bed. Wonderful staff who were so warm and helpful.

The hotel was modern, clean, quiet and very convenient to the Vatican. The very reasonably priced coffee bar in the lobby was a nice touch. The window opened and the AC worked, even in October. The area felt upscale and safe, if quite busy. The front door isn't easy to find unless you know what to look for, but the staff provided instructions before we arrived, so we didn't have a problem. The lobby is only manned 8:00 to 20:00, but they are willing to help schedule things outside those hours.

If you are looking to visit the Vatican City..This hotel is the perfect one!! Staff were super friendly..the room very clean..I had to walk five minutes from the hotel to watch the
Cute and small hotel, the first floor of an older building, all redone and modernized. It's very clean and quiet, with good air conditioning. The owner/staff are very kind and helpful. It's basically next to the Vatican -- we would stay again.
It’s a small hotel but clean, well maintained, quiet, great service from front desk staff. Very close to many restaurants, supermarket and to St Peter Square.
