Hotel Emmaus

Good value for money in Rome centre, very close to Vatican. Easy walk distance to St. Peter plaza. Plenty of shops, restaurants and grocery shops nearby. Taxi rank at the hotel front door. Hotel facilities and hotel rooms for sure require modernisation and refreshment, however all is in order. Easy access, very friendly staff with professional service and support to hotel guests. Francesca at the reception supported us with car park. Thank you!

Only 5 min from St. Peter's Basilica. Taxis are in front of the hotel. Simple dining options. Unique elevator!

Location was very good but the room itself was tiny not comfortable (heating was inefficient). In fact the AC remote batteries were dead and had to call reception to replace them. Staff tried to make it work but were unsuccessful. The room was cold, dark and literally felt like a cave. Parking was a nightmare, if you are driving to this location with your own car it's better to look for some other hotel. The staff asks you to find your own parking on street which took me almost an hour and about a kilometer away. The other option is private parking which costs 30 Euros a night. Breakfast if forgettable.. Overall not at all a pleasant stay.

Vi havde 2 fantastiske dage på Hotel Emmaus. Beliggenheden kunne nærmest ikke være bedre, hvis man kommer til Rom for at se seværdigheder. Vatikan-staten er nærmest ens nabo. Nærmest alle seværdigheder er i gå-afstand, så der blev sparet meget på transport. Selve hotellet er et ældre, men fantastisk charmerende hotel med en virkelig sej, ældgammel elevator. Det bedste var dog servicen fra personalet. Vi ankom alt for tidligt om morgen og receptionisterne og rengøringspersonalet var utroligt venlige og fik vores værelse klar før tid, hvilket vi er super taknemmelige for. Den venlige dame fra restauranten sørgede også for kaffe og lidt morgenmad til os, hvilket var så dejligt! Stort rummeligt værelse, en af de bedste beliggenheder i byen og 5-stjernet service fra alle medarbejdere gjorde Hotel Emmaus til en dejlig oplevelse for os. Vi ville hjertens gerne bo der igen hvis vi kommer til Rom en anden gang.

(Jan 2024) as previous reviews stated, radiator heater turns off around midnight so temperature does drop throughout the night. You get what you paid, so dont expect much. Building is outdated but everything works as intended (including a vintage elevator lift) Its perfect if you need somewhere simple to crash and you will be spending most of the day out. If you prefer to spend time in your hotel and want the amenities, don't book here. Bar isnt a bar just bottles on the shelf to check the search results box. Very conveniently located close to Vatican City and taxi stand right ooutside. Several simple restaurants few minutes walking distance ans several convenient store downstairs for water juice beer, etc. Breakfast lady was rude but you only see her a few minutes a day. Rest of the staff is friendly and nice. Remember, you get what you paid for.

Has false information on their property. They say they have valet parking for €40 and that there is offsite free parking structure. However, they do not have valet parking and the free parking off site is the street parking. In addition, I got an email saying that I should receive a free bottle of wine with my stay. When I showed the front desk concierge, he laughed and said we don’t have that. He was very belittling and condescending. On a positive note, the hotel is about five minutes away from Vatican City, which is very convenient.

This hotel is in a main st in a walkable area. About a 20 min walk to the Vatican and walkable to the review fountain. They have valet parking for 30 euros a night. Taxis line up in front of the hotel and there are several restaurants next door. There is 1 elevator which is a few hundred years old therefore small meaning 1 person and 1 suitcase at a time. I would definitely stay here again

The hotel is old and small, but very conveniently located (walking distance to the Vatican). The elevator is ancient and went out of service so we had to transport luggage via stairs to the 4th floor. The breakfast was a simple continental breakfast. Staff was nice and courteous and helped me transport/store luggage. Overall good for the price.

Excelente trato personal Sin embargo 30 Euros por día por estacionamiento

The hotel area was very convenient and walkable to wonderful tourist areas. The staff was great, breakfast was lovely with cappuccino and a meat and cheese plate and the elevator was adorable. The only cons was that the bed was too hard and that there was a school full of students staying at the hotel that were disrespectful to the staff and neighboring hotel rooms.

Hotel Emmaus har ett fantastiskt läge - några minuters promenad till Peterskyrkan, och det går bussar till det mesta alldeles runt knuten, om man inte vill promenera de 30-40 minuter som det tar in till stan. Personalen på hotellet är fenomenalt trevliga. Alla var vänliga, tillmötesgående och gjorde allt för att vi skulle känna oss som hemma - alltid med ett leende. Vi reste med barn, och kökspersonalen var så vänliga mot dem. Vi kände oss väl omhändertagna! Hotellet är dock tyvärr mycket nedgånget. Badrummet hade spår av svartmögel, tapeten flagnade från väggen. Värst var nog de enkla lakanen med väldigt slitna och luddande filtar ovanpå - de filtarna tvättas knappast mellan varje gäst. Rummet kändes tyvärr därmed väldigt ofräscht. Dubbelsängen i rummet var stenhård, medan de två enkelsängarna för barnen var något mjukare. Hotellet är otroligt lyhört. Stenväggarna/golvet i kombination med enkla trädörrar gör att man hör samtal och rörelser från hela trapphuset. Frukosten ingår i priset och gör att man blir mätt. Stort plus för kaffet som görs på beställning, samt givetvis den trevliga personalen! Skulle jag bo här igen? Nja. Ifall filtarna byttes ut mot täcken med påslakan skulle jag absolut bo här igen pga läget och den fantastiska personalen.

All personal was very attentive, friendly, and professional. The Hotel has a great location 7 minutes walk from the Vatican. Rooms are very clean breakfast is included.l had a tour before 7 am . They accommodate an early breakfast just for that day. Something l really appreciated it, This is my hotel . I am coming back next summer. Keep up the excellent work. I am so so thankful to everyone who worked there for making my stay a very pleasant one. ❤️ Todo el personal del Hotel es muy professional, Excelente atencion. El hotel esta a 7 minutes caminando del Vaticano. Cuartos muy limpios y Comodos , desayuno esta incluido. Tenia un tour antes de las 7 de la mañana y me dieron acceso al desayuno antes de las 7;00 am solo por ese dia, algo que aprecio mucho. Este es mi hotel para mi proximo viaje. Muchas gracias a todo el personal del hotel por que gracias a su excelente trabajo estuve bien atendida y comoda.

The lobby did smell like urine but overall it’s old and historic and the location is absolutely Amazing.

The hotel is small but had everything that we Needed. The room was small but clean. The receptionist and all the employees were very friendly, helpful and professional. We loved the breakfast. It is two minutes walking to the St. Pete Cathedral. Very safe area around. 100% recommended.

Great location. Staff were extremely helpful. Fantastic breakfast…beds were a bit uncomfortable. Very clean. Overall fantastic stay.

Clean hotel with pleasant staff but overall building and facilities tired with rooms dated. However excellent location for what we wanted to do

Nice staff, clean room ,close to attraction

Despite its location, a walking distance, from the Vatican, my money would’ve been better spent going a little farther and staying in a nicer and safer hotel. I would’ve immediately taken my business elsewhere. However, we arrived in Rome late that evening, and we needed to rest. Where do I start? As soon as you enter the lobby you see dirty sofas in the waiting area. The carpet is filthy and it smelled of old moisture. I’ve been in the many antiquated hotels but the conditions here were unacceptable. We were on the third floor in a room across the hall from wallpaper that was peeling, rusty pipes, exposed wiring. Our room was next to a family who had an infant baby crying. The doors were so old and thin that you can hear conversations in the other rooms. In the morning, I heard 4-5 other alarms going off in the same hallway. The bedroom smelled of moisture, and as you open the bathroom door, it smelled like sewer. We had a sleep with the fan on in the bathroom to keep the smell from permeating into the sleeping area. I didn’t sleep at all because I can hear steps down the hallway. We arrived at midnight. I had to leave our room and take a walk outside because the smell was making me nauseous. I endure the polluted smell of Rome to clear my senses before entering the hotel to sleep. We took off the top cover and slept, set the alarm at 6, and immediately checked out.

Cleaning in areas lacks attention to detail.

Bathroom had mild smell and our sheets had dirt on them

The photos are different then the, reality, broken shower handle, noisy air conditioning, leaking toilet bowel, non confotartable beds. Also they charged me extra six euros per person that was not never mentioned on their site

I loved everything about the hotel from location to available front desk staff to room size, view All great

The property was a little loud at night, it can use some upgrades but overall it was a good stay!

Fairly run down but quaint. Nice breakfast. Shower was super tiny. ACeas poor and it was during a heat wave. Very convenient for St. Peter's Basilica and other attractions. Safe and quiet area.

Friendly staff. Wonderful location, just a few minutes walk from Saint-Peter Square. Room is old and in need of renovations. City tax must be paid in cash for some reason.

Great location. No hot water and low water pressure in the morning. Building systems upgrades are required

Clean hotel with pleasant staff but overall building and facilities tired with rooms dated. However excellent location for what we wanted to do

The room was small and beds uncomfortable and dated

The hotel location was perfect if you visit St Peter’s Basilica. But we can hear all the noise, from vehicles outside to our next door. Our last night was a nightmare, the front desk doesn’t have a control, all these teenagers was soo noisy in the middle of the night up until 2:00am and we are leaving our hotel at 3:30am for our next day flight back home.

Great Location if you want to visit Vatican City. Very helpful and friendly front desk personnel, gave great recommendations for restaurants and help get us airport transfers and Port transfers. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

The stay at Hotel Emmaus was perfect for our family. The close proximity to The Vatican and the San Pietro train station enabled us to move throughout Rome with ease. The front desk, cleaning, and breakfast staff members were all very helpful and friendly. We recommend this hotel 100%. If we return to Rome we will stay here.

Excellent service provided by staff, great location and so easy to access St Peter’s. Breakfast at the hotel was simple yet satisfying. Highly recommended for a great stay.

Hotel staff were really nice and very helpful in everything!

staff are very helpful to any requests. hotel is old but clean. very good service during breakfast. lenient with earlier breakfast time instead of 7am. had fresh towels and room made up daily as requested. generally awesome stay. close to St Peter’s square like a 5 min walk. also very accessible to taxi which are just outside the hotel. few steps away from a nice La Vittoria restaurant.

Cory at the front desk was extremely professional and friendly. He recommended a place for dinner practically next to the hotel, which was absolutely delicious. He made sure to give us our free bottle of wine as we are Gold Expedia members the state was wonderful.

Very clean. All personal very friendly, attentive and professional. Good price for the quality of the room and the breakfast that is included. It is very convenient and safes time. I had an earlier tour scheduled before 7:00 am. Miguel one of the receptionist offered to accommodate my breakfast just for one day. The next morning l had access to my breakfast before 7:00 am. I really appreciate it. I am extremely happy with my stay . I will be going back next summer with a couple of friends. Something that l should add some of their personal speak English, Italian and Spanish. Something very convenient because my friends who will be travelling with me next year only speaks Spanish. My thanks to everyone who works there for making my stayed a very pleasant one. Keep up the excellent work 😃

Amazing historic hotel steps from Vatican, we even can see it from our window! Highly recommend to stay there, close to everything and very safe.

Great Location if you want to visit Vatican City. Very helpful and friendly front desk personnel, gave great recommendations for restaurants and help get us airport transfers and Port transfers. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

It's an older hotel, but most, at the money asked, are. Has a last century charm. Great location for tourists. Some reviews said issues with A/C, problems with shower, but we had no issues. Fit our needs as tourists in Rome to site-see, not to relax. 5 min walk to St Peter Square (crosswalk underground for main street cross to Vatican, it's not marked, we found it last day). As you exit hotel, to the left, few door over, great restaurant, decent prices. The one to the right we did not like. Have a great stay!

Walking distance away from the Vatican museums. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was great in the morning so we didn’t need to look for a place early in the morning.

The location is great if you’re planning to visit the Vatican. It’s literally a 5 minute walk from hotel. I recommend going late at night 9-10 pm before they close the gates.. it’s beautiful. The hotel itself is a bit dated (room keys are not electronic)and facilities are adequate.We appreciate the architecture and style. Free breakfast is great. Staff was friendly and great. A couple of good restaurants and convenience store right outside the hotel. Another perk is that taxis are right outside the front door.

The location is very good, just two minutes to the Vatican, convenient transportation.

Location was excellent,Room very dated.Breakfast basic

Me ha gustado el personal, muy amable, y la ubicación (cerca de parada de autobús que te lleva al centro). No me ha gustado el desayuno, poca variedad y baja calidad (no había un tostador para tostar el pan). Tampoco me ha gustado la ducha (muy poca presión de agua).

The breakfast menu was adequate, but the environment was poor. Walls need painting and new tablecloths would be a great improvement.

Perfect location if you are going to visit the Vatican. Continental Breakfast hit the spot especially the cappuccinos. Staff is very helpful.

Gammelt hotel, som var delvist forsøgt renoveret. Meget dårlig morgenmad, fik først kaffen efter vi havde spist. Kan ikke anbefales til mere end 1 overnatning

Stayed at this hotel for four days. My stay was well, had no issues! I was traveling solo the hotel stuff a very friendly the breakfast was nothing spectacular. However, the cappuccinos were amazing! It’s about 15 minute walk from Trastevere, and about 12 minutes another direction to the hop on hop off sight seeing bus. I believe stop 5, on Piazza Di Pointe St. Angelo; about 10 min walk to the Vatican. I felt completely safe in either direction that I walked. The bus is just right around the corner if you choose to take that lots of restaurants, cafés shops. So much to do and everything was local and in walking distance.

The location was perfect. The Vatican is so close!!!! We crossed the street, walk down the tunnel for est. 5 minutes then, there we were…. At the Vatican. Perfect! Breakfast was so delicious.
