Rhome Hosting is a guest house in the Prati district of Rome, 400 metres from the Vatican Museums and 500 metres from Ottaviano metro station. The property occupies the first floor of a historic building on Viale dei Bastioni di Michelangelo and is designed for those who want to move easily between the capital’s main attractions without giving up the quiet of a directly managed accommodation.
The rooms, all with private bathrooms, are equipped with air conditioning, a desk, a coffee machine and a private terrace with views of the city or the building’s inner courtyards. The layout of the spaces favours guest privacy, while the common areas include a shared kitchen and a lounge for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.
Among the services offered are bicycle and car rental, currency exchange and an airport shuttle available on request to reach Ciampino or Fiumicino. The location, just a few hundred metres from St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Gardens, is particularly appreciated by couples, who have given it a location score of 9.9.
Rhome Hosting offers three room types, all featuring a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and one distinctive element: every room has its own terrace with views of the city or the building’s inner courtyards. The rooms also include a desk, wardrobe and coffee machine, designed for both leisure and business travellers staying in the Prati area.
What changes between the types is mainly the size and capacity: starting with the 16 sqm Deluxe Room, designed for two people, up to the 22 sqm Superior Double Room, better suited to those travelling with a child, and finally the 25 sqm King Superior Room with two double beds, the most spacious and able to accommodate up to four guests. In all rooms, soundproofing ensures a good level of quiet despite the central location.
The most compact of the rooms at Rhome Hosting, designed for two people looking for functional accommodation in the heart of Prati. It features a terrace with city views, air conditioning and a private bathroom, with a compact 16 sqm layout that makes it ideal for short stays or couples’ trips.
Larger than the Deluxe, this 22 sqm room can also accommodate a child thanks to the extra space available. It retains the private terrace and en-suite bathroom, with views that open onto notable glimpses of the Vatican district as well as the urban skyline.
The largest room type in the property, with 25 sqm and two double beds that can accommodate up to four people, ideal for families or small groups. Here too there is a terrace with city views, while the extra space allows for a larger sitting area than in the other rooms.
Rhome Hosting offers a range of services designed to make a stay in the Prati district practical. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, while private parking can be booked for an extra charge for those arriving by car. Among the most appreciated services are bicycle and car rental, useful for getting around independently in an area also popular among cycling enthusiasts, as well as an airport shuttle organised on request for Ciampino and Fiumicino.
Guests have access to a shared kitchen and a common lounge with a TV area, shared spaces that make a stay feel more like a home than a traditional hotel. The currency exchange service, luggage storage and concierge service complete the offer for those arriving in Rome with practical needs to sort out on the spot.
Every room is air conditioned and heated, while the property has a lift to reach the floors without difficulty. Security is guaranteed 24 hours a day, and room service can also be requested.
Rhome Hosting is located in the Prati district, an elegant and orderly residential area just steps from the Vatican, quite different from the more touristy historic centre but just as central. The building housing the property, on Viale dei Bastioni di Michelangelo, is surrounded by cafés and small neighbourhood restaurants, such as the nearby Creperia Michelangelo just a few metres from the entrance, and shops useful for everyday life.
The location makes it possible to reach the Vatican Museums on foot in about 5 minutes (400 metres) and St. Peter’s Square in just over 350 metres. Ottaviano metro station, on line A, is 350 metres away and quickly connects to the centre of Rome, while Cipro station is 700 metres away. Those arriving by air will find Rome Ciampino Airport 15 km away and Fiumicino Airport 17 km away, both also reachable via the shuttle organised by the property on request.
The area lends itself to intense cultural tourism: besides the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Gardens (500 metres) and the Palace of the Holy Office are a short distance away. Heading towards the centre, in about 15-20 minutes on foot you reach Castel Sant’Angelo (950 metres) and Piazza Navona (850 metres), while the more famous historic squares such as Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza di Spagna require a longer walk or a short metro ride. The area is also popular with cyclists, thanks to the bicycle rental available directly at the property, useful for exploring the banks of the Tiber or nearby neighbourhoods without having to rely on public transport.
