La Maison Royale is a bed and breakfast in Rome, in the Vaticano Prati district, about 450 meters from St. Peter’s Square and less than a kilometer from the Vatican Museums. The property stands out for its indoor hot tub, a rare feature for a B&B in this area, and for attentive service starting from check-in, which requires ID and a credit card and must be arranged in advance.
The available rooms come in three types designed for different needs: from the compact double to the quadruple for families or small groups, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV. Breakfast, served with continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, suits guests with specific dietary needs well.
The location, rated 9.5 by guests, is one of the property’s strong points: Ottaviano metro station is 550 meters away, while Castel Sant’Angelo and Piazza Navona can be reached comfortably on foot. It’s a suitable choice for those visiting Rome for a cultural weekend or a couple’s getaway, aided also by private parking available on request for a fee.
The rooms at La Maison Royale are organized into three types designed to accommodate different stays, from couples to larger families. All share a private bathroom with courtesy set, air conditioning, wardrobe, heating and flat-screen TV, ensuring a consistent level of comfort throughout the property. The main differences concern size and capacity: starting from the 17 sqm of the Double Room up to the Quadruple Room, designed for larger groups.
The Double Room with Private Bathroom is the most compact solution, ideal for two people, while the Triple Room offers a few extra square meters and an additional bed to accommodate up to three guests.
