QuodLibet is a bed and breakfast in the Prati district of Rome, 150 metres from the Ottaviano metro station and about a 10-minute walk from the Vatican Museums. The property occupies the fourth floor of a building equipped with a lift and offers air-conditioned rooms, each decorated differently from the others, with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and free WiFi connection.
Accommodations range from the more compact double room to family-oriented types designed for groups of up to four people, as well as superior and deluxe options with a bathtub and city views. Breakfast, available in continental, Italian, vegetarian and gluten-free variants, is served directly in the room, a detail the staff take care of attentively alongside recommendations on local restaurants and venues.
The location between the Vatican and Prati is probably the most appreciated strength: guests rate it very highly, especially those travelling as a couple. From here it’s easy to reach both the landmark sites of Vatican City and Rome’s historic centre, helped also by the proximity to two metro lines.
The rooms at QuodLibet share some basic features: air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV, minibar and soundproofed walls, plus free WiFi always included. Room sizes range from 14 sqm for the Double/Twin Room to 24 sqm for the larger options, also designed for families or small groups travelling together.
Some room types, such as the Standard Family Room, can accommodate up to four people across multiple beds, while the King Deluxe and Queen Superior focus on an extra-large or large double bed and more refined features, including a bathtub, bidet and bathroom amenities. City views accompany several rooms, while the bed arrangement in some rooms can vary between alternative configurations, better suiting couples, groups of friends or families with different needs.

From QuodLibet it’s easy to plan days out between art and history: besides the Vatican Museums and St Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Gardens are worth a visit 950 metres away, and heading a little further into the centre, Piazza Navona is about 1.2 km away and the Trevi Fountain 2.4 km away.
