Guest House Laocoonte

Guest House Laocoonte is a family-run bed and breakfast in the Trionfale district of Rome, about 250 metres from the Vatican Museums and 750 metres from St. Peter’s Square.

The property offers two room types, both equipped with a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and refrigerator: the 18 m² Double Room and the 15 m² Double/Twin Room. Each room is designed to offer a practical stay, ideal for those visiting the capital for a short time and wanting to stay close to the Vatican.

General services include free WiFi, daily housekeeping, luggage storage and an airport shuttle at an additional cost, useful for those arriving from Fiumicino or Ciampino. The area, lively with bars and restaurants just steps from the entrance such as Il Bavaglino and Cantina 26, is well connected via the nearby Ottaviano Metro Station and Valle Aurelia station, and suits both couples’ stays, particularly appreciated for the location, and shorter visits focused on exploring the Vatican Museums and the historic centre.
