Royal Vatican Rooms is a non-smoking guest house located in Rome, about 1.8 km from the Vatican Museums and just 250 metres from the Baldo degli Ubaldi metro station. The property caters to travellers looking for a practical, informal base for visiting the capital, with quick access to public transport and the main Vatican sites.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, are furnished with a desk, coffee machine, refrigerator, safe and electric kettle, as well as a flat-screen TV and private bathroom with bidet. Some room types have a balcony or terrace with a city view, offering a small outdoor space that is rare for this area of Rome. Sheets and towels are provided for all rooms.
Shared facilities include a lounge with a TV area, a shared kitchen and a luggage storage space, useful for those arriving or departing at inconvenient flight times. WiFi is free throughout the property. The location is especially appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.0 for a trip as a couple, thanks to its proximity to both the metro and neighbourhood bars and restaurants just a few steps away.
Royal Vatican Rooms offers four room types, all featuring air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV and a tea and coffee making set, as well as a safe and bathroom courtesy set. Room sizes range from 16 to 20 sqm, suitable for both couples and small groups or families of up to four people.
The main difference between the room types concerns outdoor space and capacity: the Double Room is the most compact and private option, while the Double Room with Balcony offers a glimpse of the quiet street below. The Triple and Quadruple rooms, both featuring a terrace with a city view, are designed for those travelling in larger numbers who want a bit more space without giving up a small outdoor area, which is rare for a guest house in this part of Rome.
The most compact of the property’s rooms, at 17 sqm and overlooking a quiet street, ideal for those seeking privacy and quiet. It has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus a wardrobe and a tea and coffee set.
The largest room type in terms of capacity, designed for groups of up to four people. It shares its 20 sqm with the Triple Room but offers an extra bed, plus a terrace with a city view and a private bathroom with shower.
With the same size as the Quadruple Room but one fewer guest, this room is suited to families or small groups who don’t need the maximum capacity. It has a terrace with a city view and a private bathroom with shower.
Despite being the smallest room in the property by size, it is the only double room with its own outdoor view, overlooking a quiet street. A private bathroom with shower and a tea and coffee set complete the room.
Royal Vatican Rooms offers guests a shared terrace, a lounge with a TV area and a shared kitchen, convenient for those who want to prepare something on their own during their stay. Daily housekeeping and luggage storage round out the property’s practical offering, while security is guaranteed 24 hours a day with closed-circuit cameras both outside and in common areas, as well as smoke and security alarms.
All rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed on request, with heating, an iron and an elevator to reach them comfortably even with luggage. The property is entirely non-smoking and has family rooms available. Free WiFi covers all areas, while the bathroom includes complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer and bed linen for every room.
