What guests think

At Cardinal Hotel St. Peter, travelers often praise the friendly front-desk team, quiet residential setting with bus links near the Vatican, and rooftop pool and views, while noting dated spaces, ongoing maintenance issues, and inconsistent air conditioning or heating.

Cleanliness ranges from very clean rooms to serious concerns like ants, mold, and poorly kept pool or terrace areas. Breakfast is generally appreciated, though some found it modest or repetitive, and on-site dinner receives mixed feedback. Rooms vary in size; several mention poor soundproofing, while some include balconies with city or St. Peter’s views, and a few report limited TV or Wi-Fi options. Expect friendly service and practical transport access, with trade-offs in modernity and maintenance.

Facilities

The rooftop area with a pool/bar and views of St. Peter’s is a highlight, and parking is available. Several reviews note the pool is small or old, can be cold, hours may be limited, and rooftop jacuzzis were out of service.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à l'hôtel Cardinal St Peter de Rome. Un service au top (merci à Magali qui parle français), le petit-déjeuner buffet, la clim dans la chambre et une piscine très appréciables en plein été sous la chaleur romaine ! La literie et les chambres sont certes un peu vieillissants, mais rien d'insurmontable. L'hôtel est légèrement excentré mais de ce fait, assez calme et plusieurs lignes de bus desservant Rome se trouvent au bout de la rue. Nous recommandons le rapport qualité-prix pour une semaine à Rome !

As most will gather this is really a 3 star hotel (which I knew when booking it), but nonetheless a pretty decent hotel. The negatives are that rooms are dated and absolutely not soundproof as advertised. Electricity plugs etc in the rooms don’t work as they should. Our classic double room was small but consistent with advertisement. Bathroom was good and we had a nice balcony with a view of St Peter’s. The lobby, restaurant and pool area are all really good. One of the very few hotels I found where the pool is open in May. Breakfast was good. Located in a good and quiet area. We walked with our 11 and 12 year old children to the metro station (15 minutes) which was through a safe area. Borderline rating between 6 and 8, it depends on what you value the most in a hotel.

Had wonderful live evening entertainment in their patio restaurant but the food wasn't up to par so, recommend eating off the property. All the front desk staff were very pleasant with excellent English which was helpful for getting assistance with directions, etc. Would stay here again.

Per la prima volta nella mia vita da turista non ho avuto il coraggio di farmi la doccia perché la vasca era sporchissima! Alle 8:30 la signora delle pulizie che entra in camera! Se il check out è alle 11 perché entrate nelle stanze alle 8:30 di mattina? Esperienza bruttissima, evitate!

La habitación que nos toco, estaba en condiciones que no representan el precio a pagar: las paredes sucias y manchadas. la alfombra no les recomiendo caminar descalzo en ella. Había hormigas en la habitación, especialmente en el baño, el baño tenia un sistema de calefacción para secar las toallas que no dejaba de funcionar lo que hacia que la habitación estuviese demasiado caliente, tuvimos que dormir con la puerta del balcón entre abierta para que se refrescara la habitación ( y digo que la puerta estaba entre abierta ya que la habitación estaba tan pequeña que la puerta no daba para abrirla completa, no era puerta corrediza.) como era comienzo del mes de Abril tenían bloqueado el uso de aire acondicionado. En nuestra estadía pagamos para incluir el desayuno. La verdad ir a Italia y tener un desayuno americano, no tiene sentido, por suerte el hotel no esta ubicado en la zona turística de Roma aunque esta como a 15 min caminando del Vaticano y alrededor del hotel hay muchos lugares donde puedes comer la autentica comida italiana a un precio razonable mejor que el del hotel.

La camera era sporca. Il bidet inutilizzabile e la vasca rovinata. Ma la cosa più grave è che la stanza era invasa dalle formiche. Erano ovunque compreso il letto e asciugamani. Penso che per un 4 stelle, ma anche per qualsiasi altro hotel sia inaccettabile. Rapporto qualità prezzo pessimo, perché in questo hotel la qualità non c’è proprio e mi chiedo come faccia ad essere un 4 stelle. E anche la professionalità dei receptionist pessima!!! Sconsigliatissimo.

Er wordt geadverteerd met airconditioning, maar tijdens ons verblijf was deze buiten gebruik waardoor het erg warm was op de kamer. Ook waren de matrassen heel hard, waardoor we zeker de eerste nacht erg slecht hebben geslapen. Kamers zijn ook gehorig en hebben dunne wandjes. Je ziet dat de accomodatie verouderd is, badkamer was oké maar wel sterk verouderd. Ontbijt ook oké, niet bijzonder maar genoeg keuze.
