St. George’s Vatican Suites is a guest house located in the Prati district of Rome, about a 5-minute walk from the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Square. The property occupies a building with a shared garden overlooked by several rooms, in a residential setting just steps from the Vatican Walls.
The rooms, all on the ground floor, combine parquet floors and designer furnishings with practical amenities such as air conditioning, a minibar and a coffee machine with complimentary capsules. Each room has a fully equipped private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, with particular attention paid to soundproofing.
The location is one of the most appreciated features: Ottaviano metro station is 300 metres away, while Via Ottaviano, with its shops and cafés, can be reached in a 3-minute walk. Restaurants and cafés such as Ni Hao and Habemus Café are just steps from the entrance, making the property convenient both for tourism and for more business-oriented stays near the Vatican.
St. George’s Vatican Suites offers three room types, all located on the ground floor and overlooking the property’s shared garden: the Double Room, the Superior and the Deluxe. In all cases, these are rooms with careful attention to detail, featuring parquet floors, designer furnishings, air conditioning and soundproofing, designed to ensure a peaceful stay despite the proximity to the city centre.
Each room has a fully equipped private bathroom, flat-screen TV, minibar and coffee machine with free capsules, offering a consistent level of comfort across the whole range. The main differences concern the size, which ranges from 15 sqm for the Double Room to 22 sqm for the Deluxe, the latter being the largest and sharing the same view of the shared green space enjoyed by the other rooms.
The Double Room is the most compact room type in the property, with 15 sqm on the ground floor overlooking the shared garden. Despite its modest size, it offers air conditioning, a minibar, a coffee machine with free capsules and a fully equipped private bathroom, along with the flat-screen TV found in all rooms.
With its 18 sqm, the Superior Room gains a few extra metres compared to the standard Double Room, while keeping the same view of the shared garden on the ground floor. It features air conditioning, a minibar, a coffee machine with free capsules and a well-equipped private bathroom, in a roomier setting for those who want a bit of extra space.
The Deluxe Room is the largest in the property, with 22 sqm and an extra-large double bed. Located on the ground floor like the others, it stands out for its more refined designer furnishings and greater available space, in addition to shared amenities such as a minibar, a coffee machine with free capsules and a fully equipped bathroom.
St. George’s Vatican Suites offers guests an entirely non-smoking property, with hypoallergenic rooms, parquet floors and air conditioning throughout. Free WiFi is available in every area, while the soundproofed rooms ensure a good level of peace and quiet despite the central location.
General services include a safe, fire extinguishers, personalised key access and private, express check-in/check-out, designed to make arrival and departure easier for guests. The property is adults only, with outdoor furniture to enjoy the shared garden.
Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary bathroom amenities, as well as a refrigerator, coffee machine, desk and a power outlet near the bed. Views of the city and local landmarks round out an offering focused on essential comfort and practical convenience.
