Hotel Sisto V is a 3-star hotel located across from Gemelli Railway Station, a short walk from Gemelli Polyclinic and not far from the Olympic Stadium and Vatican City.
The property is designed both for tourists and for those travelling for medical or work reasons, thanks to its proximity to the hospital complex and the railway and metro connections nearby. The rooms, all air-conditioned, feature satellite TV, free WiFi and a private bathroom with hairdryer; many room types also include a balcony, and some offer a bathtub or a view of the inner garden.
Breakfast, served buffet-style in a room decorated with photographs of Roman views, includes baked goods, jams, bread, cheeses and cold cuts. An electric vehicle charging station is available on site, along with a valet parking service. Couples particularly appreciate the hotel’s location, convenient for reaching both the residential districts of northern Rome and the main attractions of the historic centre.

All share air conditioning, satellite TV, a minibar and a private bathroom with hairdryer, while WiFi is always free and soundproofing is present in most room types.
Sizes range from the 11 sqm of the Single Room and the Economy Double Room to the 23 sqm of the Family Room, the largest in the entire range. Several room types, such as the Triple Room with Balcony and the Deluxe Room, offer a balcony with garden view, while the Double/Twin Room and some superior rooms include a bathtub instead of just a shower. The choice between single or double beds is flexible in several room types, to be specified at the time of booking.
At 13 sqm it is the most compact of the double rooms, but it stands out for its bed flexibility: it is one of the few rooms where you can choose between a double bed or two single beds. It has a bathtub, an inner courtyard view and a minibar.
Designed for three people, this 14 sqm room offers two possible bed configurations to choose from when booking. Most units include a balcony, as well as an en-suite bathroom with hairdryer and minibar.

Designed for the solo traveller, this 11 sqm room has a 110 cm wide bed and, unlike other room types, its private bathroom does not have a bidet. Most units still include a balcony.
Compared to the standard Triple Room, this 15 sqm version always guarantees a balcony with garden view and is furnished with three fixed single beds, without alternative configuration options.

Hotel Sisto V is located in the Trionfale district, north of Rome’s historic centre, in a residential area dominated by Gemelli Railway Station, right across from the property’s entrance. It is a lively area during the day thanks to the flow of patients and staff from the nearby Gemelli Polyclinic, but quiet in the evening, with several neighbourhood bars and restaurants just steps from the hotel, such as Oltre Bistrot and Pizzeria Sacchetti, both about 150 metres away.
Gemelli station, 200 metres from the hotel, provides fast connections to the city centre, while the Battistini and Cipro metro stations can be reached in a few minutes, about 2.4 and 2.8 km away. For those arriving by plane, Fiumicino Airport is about 16 km away and Ciampino Airport about 18.5 km away. The Vatican Museums are about 3.2 km away, while St. Peter’s Square can be reached in about 3.7 km; the main squares of the historic centre, such as Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna, are about 5 km away.
Those staying in the area can spend time in nearby green spaces, such as Pineto Regional Urban Park at 1.3 km, ideal for walks and bike rides along nature trails, or Santa Maria della Pietà Park less than 2 km away. In summer, evenings are perfect for outdoor dinners at the many venues in the area, while in winter the proximity to the great Vatican museums makes the property a practical base for cultural visits sheltered from the cold.
