What guests think

At Vatican Style, travelers consistently praise the unbeatable location steps from St. Peter’s Square and the helpful staff, while noting the unusual guesthouse setup in an older building with a tiny elevator and occasionally confusing buzzer-entry.

Rooms are modern with comfortable beds and extras like rainfall showers or in-room tubs, but some guests report thin walls, occasional maintenance issues, and quirky layouts such as showers outside the bathroom. Breakfast is delivered to the room and often punctual and tasty, though options can feel limited, start times may be late for early tours, and there is no on-site restaurant. Expect a secure, small-scale stay best suited to travelers prioritizing proximity to the Vatican over full-service hotel facilities.

They were renovating at the time of our visit. The hotel is easy to miss as the location is identified by a plaque outside on the building. Our taxi wasn’t able to drop us off by the door due to a road closure. We had to ask someone where it was. The steps leading to the room was not the nicest but once inside the room, it was perfect for our stay. The bathroom was lovely and the room was clean. We opted for breakfast that was delivered to our room. The Vatican is a very short walk and there are many nice restaurants close by. We walked everywhere from the hotel.

Has an updated modern interior inside. The rooms are made up and kept very clean. The building is very secure, with locked doors at the entry, at the hallway to enter where rooms are, which require a coded key card. Breakfast comes on time whichever time you select it to. Located right next to Vatican City but rooms are quiet. Has plenty of shopping and dining options within walking distance. Staff were helpful and courteous.

Very unique. Small hotel. On the outside it doesn’t look like a hotel. There is a large locked wooden door and you ride a tiny elevator to the forth floor to check in. At first strange but quickly became quaint and unique. The rooms were lovely and modern and the staff very receptive. Colors to the vatican

This property is great in its convenience to the Vatican and some dining and shopping options. Staff was very nice and helpful but I never knew when exactly they were around. Which can be good or frustrating but overall no complaints because they did answer the phone and came to assist as needed. It is tricky in finding because it is a large brown door. You have to find the buzzer for the Vatican Style and ring it to go in. That was a first but the key card scanned the rest of the time to get in the door. It actually provided more security. Room was very clean and larger than I had thought it would be. Walking to the metro took a little longer but still convenient enough to get you anywhere you need to be in Rome. Just beware of pickpockets. Overall I would definitely stay here again.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I really appreciated. However, I would recommend paying more attention to cleanliness in the rooms. The floor wasn’t very clean, the white walls had visible marks, and the curtains looked dirty. Also, since there’s no in-house kitchen, the breakfast was very simple — it looked like it came from a supermarket. But everything was warm and nicely prepared, which I appreciated.

The exterior of the building is a bit misleading, but once you step inside, you're greeted with a modern and elegant interior. Our room was on the first floor, facing the street, which could get noisy at times—so I’d recommend bringing a good pair of earplugs. The room itself was spacious and included a Nespresso pod machine, which made for a delightful start to the morning.

Coming from a Black American it did what it was supposed to do when in Rome. One block away from Vatican City and about a 10 minute walk to the train station it was a pretty convenient location. The staff was so nice and helpful which was absolutely best part of my stay. The water pressure in my shower room 603 was very strong. You’ll have no problem washing your hair. The walls are very thin, but luckily my neighbors were quiet

Also, comfortable walking distance to Tresevere and many of the other major sites like the Forum, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, etc..

The staff were extremely accommodating and responsive. I booked through Expedia and we messaged back and forth to coordinate transport from the airport to the hotel and then to the cruise port and back. They were very helpful and messaging through Expedia was very easy. The first room we had was very spacious, clean, great layout. When we returned from our cruise, our room was smaller, not quite as clean (dust on many surfaces), and some repairs were needed to the shower head (leaky, dripping often), rust on metal clothes hanger. Overall, great experience. We walked to the Vatican museum, St. Peter’s Basillica, the coliseum, the pantheon, the Spanish steps, travi fountain, and more. The restaurants were great, all easily within walking distance. We felt extremely safe, no concerns.

The hotel was nice and the staff was friendly. I was there for one day and due to the cleaning not being done by the time I arrived it had me run late to other things that we booked in advance. It was also things I had to point out to staff that was still unsanitary like open drinks in the fridge and used ear swabs near that bathroom sink. I was not accommodated for the delay is caused and missed my lunch reservation. I had to rush to the museum before I missed that as well

The building is good, very close to the Sistine Chapel, but the staff is terrible and very disorganized. We arrived at the hotel at 2 pm. We were knocking on the door for almost half an hour to check in, but no one answered. We called by phone and they told us that they were about to open, but another 15 minutes passed until an employee arrived, but she came in very quickly and didn't hear us when we told her that we had a reservation. We called again by phone and until then they opened and we were able to enter to check in. I hope the hotel administrators see this comment and do something so that other guests don't have to wait like we did.

Firstly the positives, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was well equipped but no shelf to put any items. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was very good. There are restaurants nearby used one which was okay, a Chinese which was very good. There are a few shops nearby and a Macdonalds. What wasn’t so good is the entrance to the hotel is just two wooden doors, there is no sign to say Vatican Style just in small writing on side of door is intercom, which we found after some help from a friendly local, the Receptionist said come to 4th floor but did not explain up steps to very small lift, lift only takes one person with luggage as we are all over 70 had to lift cases up steps to lift and take turns to get to 4th floor. We were given 6th floor my sister who was on her own 4th floor, their security system worked well. Facilities in room only coffee machine serving expresso with very small cups, sorry but this doesn’t cater for English who love their tea, no kettle, but did have fridge with water, juice and soft drinks. first two bottles of water free.
