Moonlight Inn Guesthouse is a guest house in Rome, in the Prati district, about 900 metres from the Vatican Museums and 1.1 km from the Ottaviano metro station.
The property is aimed at those looking for a practical and quiet base to explore Vatican Rome and the historic centre, moving around easily on foot or by metro. The Prati area, elegant and residential, offers shops, cafés and restaurants just steps from the entrance, while still keeping a good distance from the most chaotic tourist traffic.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, include a wardrobe, flat-screen TV, minibar, coffee machine and air conditioning; bed linen and towels are provided for every stay. The guesthouse also has a common lounge with a TV area, useful for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, and guarantees free WiFi throughout. Rooms and the property are entirely non-smoking, with a quiet hour policy from 22:00 to 07:00, a detail that confirms its calm vocation even in as lively a city as Rome.
The rooms at Moonlight Inn Guesthouse are divided into two types, both designed for couples or small groups of up to two people: the Double Room, more compact at 14 sqm, and the Deluxe Double Room, more spacious at 18 sqm. In both cases the bed is a large double, suitable for those travelling as a couple.
All options share features designed for everyday comfort: private bathroom with walk-in shower, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and coffee machine in the room. Bed linen and towels are always included. The main difference between the two types is therefore the available space, with the Deluxe offering a few extra square metres for those wanting a more comfortable stay without giving up the guesthouse’s central location in the Prati district.
The Double Room is the guesthouse’s most compact option, with a well-organised 14 sqm. It has a private bathroom with walk-in shower, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, as well as a flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and coffee machine. A welcome chocolate completes the hospitality in this essential yet functional room, designed for a practical stay just steps from the Vatican.
At 18 sqm, the Deluxe Double Room is the property’s largest room type, about a quarter bigger than the standard Double Room. It offers the same basic equipment, with a private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and hairdryer, minibar, coffee machine and flat-screen TV, but with more breathing room, ideal for those who want to move around more comfortably in the room.
Moonlight Inn Guesthouse offers free WiFi throughout the property and a common lounge with a TV area, a useful space to relax or plan your days of sightseeing in Rome. Security is guaranteed 24 hours a day, with outdoor CCTV, a smoke alarm and a security alarm, while the entire property is non-smoking and equipped with heating, air conditioning and a lift to reach the upper floors.
Every room is equipped with a private bathroom, shower, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, as well as a wardrobe, bed linen and a clothes rack. There is also a minibar, with the option of breakfast in the room and fruit available to guests, a detail that adds an extra touch of convenience to the stay.
For entertainment, the rooms feature a flat-screen TV with streaming services such as Netflix and internet access, making the hours spent at the property between one visit and another equally enjoyable.
