B&B Best Vatican is a property housed in a nineteenth-century building in the Prati district of Rome, just a 5-minute walk from the Vatican Museums.
The two available room types are soundproofed and designed to guarantee a comfortable stay: equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with CD/DVD player and an electric kettle with complimentary tea and coffee, they also offer hypoallergenic solutions for more sensitive guests. The rate also includes national phone calls, an uncommon detail among properties in the area.
The location is among its most appreciated strengths: the Ottaviano-San Pietro metro station is about 100 metres away, with direct connections to Piazza di Spagna and Roma Termini station, while St. Peter’s Square can be reached on foot in about ten minutes. Staff provide 24-hour phone assistance and are on site until midday, with later check-in possible by prior arrangement. Pets are welcomed free of charge on request, making the property a practical choice for those travelling with a dog or cat.
B&B Best Vatican offers two types of double rooms, both soundproofed and air-conditioned, designed for those seeking a well-kept stay in the Prati district. All rooms feature a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV with CD/DVD player, a minibar and an electric kettle with a selection of tea and coffee offered to guests; the furnishings have also been chosen with hypoallergenic solutions in mind, a useful detail for those who suffer from allergies while travelling.
The main difference between the two types concerns space and view: the Double Room is the more compact option, with a view of the inner courtyard, while the Superior Double Room offers a few extra square metres and can accommodate up to three people, making it suitable for small groups or families with a child. In both cases, the double bed is the centrepiece of the furnishings, in keeping with the elegant, understated style of the whole property.
The Double Room is the most compact type in the property, at 14 square metres with a view of the inner courtyard, a quiet solution sheltered from street noise. It is soundproofed and furnished with hypoallergenic solutions, equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with CD/DVD player and a minibar. The electric kettle with complimentary tea and coffee completes a setup designed for those seeking comfort in a cosy space, ideal for couples’ stays.
Larger than the standard Double Room, the Superior offers 18 square metres and can accommodate up to three people, making it the most suitable choice for those travelling as a trio or simply wanting more space. It features a large double bed, a view over the property’s interior, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with CD/DVD player and a minibar. Here too, an electric kettle with tea and coffee is offered to guests, in a soundproofed setting with attention to detail.
B&B Best Vatican offers amenities designed for a practical stay in the heart of Prati. General services include a shuttle service and an airport shuttle, useful for those arriving from Fiumicino or Ciampino, daily housekeeping, luggage storage and an in-room safe. The property is entirely non-smoking and offers hypoallergenic solutions, with rooms dedicated to allergy sufferers, as well as heating and an independent entrance for greater guest autonomy.
Each room is equipped with a private bathroom, shower, complimentary bathroom amenities, hairdryer and wardrobe, while on the technology side there is a flat-screen TV, satellite channels and internet access, with the possibility of accessing streaming services such as Netflix. Rounding out the offering are an in-room minibar, fruit and a kettle for tea and coffee, as well as the option to bring your own pet at no extra charge.
