Our room was compact and comfortable and clean; this is not a full service hotel, but a boutique of 11 rooms on 3 floors; during our stay there was no breakfast, no lobby amenities and no staffing at the front desk; and the service we received -- generally through WhatsApp -- was friendly and well-intentioned. It is in a terrific location by St. Peter's and we had a view of St. Peter's dome from our room. If the price is right for your budget, we would highly recommend this clean and safe place to stay. If you're looking for a full-service hotel, this is not the right choice for you. We are grateful to the folks who took such great care of us!

More of an AirBnB apartment block than a hotel. Has residents living in the building, and reception consists of a table in a small room. Not quite what was expected from the description. The room was fine with a nice en suite and TV. No kettle for tea and coffee which would have been appreciated. Didn’t see the ‘restaurant’ when we stayed. As I said, more of an apartment block where they obviously rent out a few rooms and call it a hotel. Expensive for what we got, although we’re in a city so it may have been equally expensive elsewhere. The positives - location was great, a few minutes walk from the Vatican. Close to a metro stop and the metro is easy to use. The manager was helpful and nice.

Clean comfortable hotel in a great location near the Vatican. A friendly young man working the desk, (and an aspiring actor), helped us to our room, even running up 5 flights of stairs when the elevator was full. Everyone we met in this hotel was friendly and helpful. Free breakfasts were discontinued, which should be updated in the listing.

Good morning, regarding the air conditioning as already communicated by the colleague we have a European regulation that the room temperature must not be below 24 degrees and I guarantee that the temperature at 24 degrees with 42/45 degrees outside as it was in the days that you have stayed is excellent and fresh.For the mattress I am sorry that it was not to your liking as it is an orthopedic Tempur '' mattress that you cannot find in hotels and I guarantee it as it is out of the budget of any structure to buy mattresses of that value and features. But I hope the time spent in Rome has been to your liking.I cordially greet youUlteriori informazioni su questo testo di originePer avere ulteriori informazioni sulla traduzione è necessario il testo di origineInvia commentiRiquadri laterali

We were having a nightmare of a trip until we arrived in Rome. Amalia is the perfect hotel for exploring the area of the Vatican. The rooms are cozy, just for sleeping. Bathrooms are clean and comfortable and updated. Everything is located just steps away, from shopping to eating, to the Vatican City. Rodolfo was so kind and helpful and we are so grateful to have found this little gem in Rome!

Response from Robi on Apr 18, 2022
Hello Mr. Ivan, before denigrating a hotel, inquire about the costs that you will have to pay upon arrival, as it is a tax that is not ours but of the municipality that requires it in cash, regarding the rooms on various floors it is a normal thing 90% of hotels so are above all structures like ours from the 1800s. I regard the payment for the room to us the paid expedia she had to pay the tourist tax on arrival who said she would pay it on departure, besides speaking ill of us he left without paying it was requested after departure via email several times a credit card for the balance read the message but ignored it and even had the courage to insult us. I warn all the colleges to get paid by this client in advance before letting them enter the room and take pictures as they are given the room and how they leave it even in the worst communities the homeless poor would leave in those conditions.

The hotel is quite hard to find, it doesnt have big sign outside. Just a small plaque on the wall in between castrioni Caffe and Dal Toscada restaurant. Its like a multi use building with full time residents. I dont know how many rooms they have but My room was in 5th flr. The building is old and classic and have an oldfashioned elevator. The room was clean but for the three nights I was there, nobody cleaned my room and even emptied the trash. Im pretty sure they will clean it if I asked them, but i did not leave the dont disturb sign on the door so I assumed everyday that they will clean. They just hang a bag of new towels and toilet paper by the door daily. The AC was not cold. The entrance to St. Peters Square in Vatican is about 5 minutes walk. I got a view of the dome from my room. I know this is out of their control, but the hotel is right by a busy street so it gets loud all day up to late at night. So if you are a light sleeper, it will be hard to get some good sleep.

Good morning Madam, we were pleased to receive it in our hotel, now I will answer all your questions, regarding the plate being a historic city you cannot have large plates, the building is from the 1800s under the protection of cultural heritage . For hotels born in the historic center, 99% of the buildings are part of the hotel and part of the condominium. Regarding cleaning at check-in, we said for the safety of customers and staff that we would have sanitizing with ozone at every cleaning of the room, even daily, and therefore a metallic smell could remain on the clothes that not everyone accepts and to communicate it if you wanted to. for staff to come into the room. Regarding the noise, this is the first time that we have a complaint as the rooms have airtight double glazing just for the noises if you talk about the noises with the window open I highly recommend them next time to find a hotel in the suburbs or in the Roman countryside that is beautiful and silent.

Excellent location, Ortaviano-St. Peter's metro station 2 blocks away, Vatican 5 blocks. King size bed mattress hard (not firm) and wafer thin pillows. Room and bathroom large, good air conditioner. 5 nite stay during reduced services w COVID, a Kwik Fon call and had towels/sheets/tissue quickly. No breakfast, so we received a hot water pot for our morning coffee. Fridge was nice to hold misc drinks and such from nearby stores. I would return.

Great location just steps from the Vatican St Peters Square and Museum! Lots of great restaurants, gelato shops, a Castroni shop (with lots of great Italian goodies right next door) and small souvenir shops right outside the hotel (incl €1 shops). The front desk staff were super friendly and very helpful. The room was older and classic in feel and enough for 3 people (adults) with a double and single bed with beautiful view of St. Peter Basilica dome. The only downside were thin pillows and towels but I supposed we. Like have asked for more! The elevator is a little small as prob all European hotels and could only fit 2 people with luggage probably. The room has a secure safe, small fridge, and great AC. The hotel is 2 blocks from the Ottaviano metro stop and convenient to get to from the Termini central station (5 stops).

Walking distance to Vatican
Smalll hotel very close to Vatican, walking about 10-14 minutes. Also the metro station is about 5 minutes which is extremely convenient. It’s a clean hotel albeit old but you’re in Rome and Vatican. It has a very interesting old style elevator. I wouldnt mind staying here again.

It was okay
It was fine. Upon arrival I was advised how to use their key system. And the local tax that apparently I had to pay in cash only. I wasn’t told anything else and was sent off. I later asked about WiFi and learned there’s a fee for breakfast. I felt the staff could do better at communicating with their guest and providing them all the necessary information for their stay. The hotel is clean. It’s on the 4th floor. You have to take a small lift. The room is dated but clean. We had what seemed like a water bed. The bathroom shower is tiny. If you’re a tall or large person I don’t recommend staying there or ask if they have a larger size shower. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the Vatican and close to the subway.

Hello Mr. Anonymous, since we do not know who we are talking to and who you checked in with, as for the check in we give only a little information at the moment because people want wifi to communicate with family members and settle in the room, too much information on arrival tired of a trip is not totally received, but it does not seem to me that we are not available for anything. But I hope that the next time he shows up we could give you a room with a bigger shower Best regards

Lovely place to stay, very close to Vatican city. Close to metro and bus stops. 2 nice big beds for 4 people but not much room to move about in the room because of them. Adequate bathroom but tiny shower cubicle, approx 2.5ft X 3ft. Towels are changed daily. Lovely friendly staff, would definitely stay there again.

Amazing!!
The hotel is in a perfect location, just a few minutes from the Vatican City and about a 25 minute walk to the Trevi fountain. There’s many restaurants around, including grocery stores and little souvenir shops. The rooms are super clean but what really made our stay superb was the staff - they are the most welcoming, kindest people you will encounter. They assisted us with getting a taxi back to the airport and helped us choose places to eat. They always spoke to you with a smile on their face and made sure we were comfortable. The security of the place made me feel safe as well. After a certain hour, the front doors are closed and only accessible by your key, along with the hallway you are on. We will definitely stay here again and i recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Rome!
