Vatican Rooms Irene is a fully air-conditioned guest house in the Prati district of Rome, just 150 metres from Ottaviano metro station and about a five-minute walk from the Vatican Museums.
The property offers two room types, both furnished in a classic style with wooden floors, air conditioning and a private bathroom with hairdryer. Each room also has free WiFi and a coffee machine, designed for those seeking a simple yet detail-conscious stay in a residential setting close to the Vatican.
From the nearby metro station, the city’s main attractions are easily reached, from the Colosseum to Piazza di Spagna, while restaurants, cafés and the historic squares of the Prati district are just steps away. The location, particularly appreciated by couples, makes Vatican Rooms Irene a practical base for visiting both the Vatican area and Rome’s historic centre, without giving up the calm of a well-served residential neighbourhood.
Vatican Rooms Irene offers two types of double room, both designed for stays as a couple and furnished in a classic style that favours wooden floors and carefully chosen fabrics. Both rooms come with air conditioning, a private bathroom with hairdryer and a coffee machine for a self-service breakfast, as well as free WiFi available throughout the property.
The two rooms differ mainly in size and in the location of the bathroom: the Double Room, more compact, overlooks a garden and inner courtyard view, while the Double Room with External Private Bathroom is larger and enjoys a city view, with the private bathroom located outside the room itself. Both remain practical options for those wanting a simple, functional pied-à-terre just steps from the Vatican.
The Double Room is the most compact room type in the property, with 14 m² furnished in classic style, wooden floors and an en-suite private bathroom with hairdryer. It overlooks a garden and inner courtyard view, offering a quiet setting despite the closeness to the city centre. Equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine, it’s ideal for those seeking an essential and quiet solution.
Larger than the standard Double Room, with 18 m² of space, this room type stands out for its city view and for the private bathroom located outside the room. Here too the decor follows a classic style with wooden floors, while air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine are also included. A good choice for those who prioritise space and an urban view.
Vatican Rooms Irene offers a package of services geared towards a practical stay: 24-hour reception, daily housekeeping, luggage storage and private check-in and check-out. The property is entirely non-smoking, with air conditioning and heating throughout, parquet or wooden floors, and a lift to reach the upper floors.
Each room has a private bathroom with hairdryer, bed linen, a wardrobe or closet, a coffee machine and an electric kettle, as well as a desk for those travelling on business too. On the security side, there are outdoor CCTV cameras, a smoke alarm, a security alarm and 24-hour controlled key access.
Rounding out the offer are an on-site café and free WiFi throughout the property, along with hypoallergenic solutions designed to ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, including family rooms available on request.
