Vatican Rooms is a guest house located in the Aurelio district of Rome, a short walk from Cornelia metro station and about 2.3 km from the Vatican Museums. The entirely non-smoking property offers a simple, functional setting designed for visitors to the capital looking for a practical base to reach the city’s main religious and historical attractions.
The available rooms, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and soundproofing, stand out for having a terrace with a city view, a detail not always found in a property of this category. Each room is equipped with a flat-screen TV, fridge, wardrobe and bed linen, providing the essentials for a comfortable stay.
The surrounding area offers several bars and restaurants just steps from the entrance, ideal for a quick meal or an informal breakfast. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, while pets are welcome on request, with a possible surcharge. The location, appreciated by guests, allows easy access to St. Peter’s Square and the historic centre by metro in just a few minutes.
Vatican Rooms offers two room types, both designed to ensure privacy and a good level of comfort despite the property’s limited size. All rooms are air-conditioned, soundproofed and feature a private bathroom with shower, plus a flat-screen TV, fridge and wardrobe: amenities designed to make the stay self-sufficient even without additional services such as breakfast.
One feature that comes with every room is the terrace with a city view, a characteristic that sets this guest house apart from many other budget options in the area. The main difference between the two room types concerns size and capacity: the Double Room with Private Bathroom is designed for two people with a double bed, while the larger Triple Room with Private Bathroom adds a single bed to accommodate up to three guests, making it suitable for small groups or families.
A 25 sqm double room, the more compact of the two available room types, with a terrace overlooking the city and a private bathroom with shower. Soundproofing and air conditioning make it suitable for a quiet stay for two people.
At 28 sqm, this is the property’s largest room and the only one designed for three guests thanks to the extra single bed. It retains the terrace with city view and the private bathroom with shower, ideal for small groups or families.
Vatican Rooms provides guests with a range of amenities designed for a self-sufficient, comfortable stay in the Aurelio district. WiFi connection is free throughout the property, while every room has air conditioning, heating and soundproofing, useful features in both the summer months and the colder ones.
General facilities include the balcony and terrace found in the rooms, the availability of family rooms and a smoke-free policy throughout the premises, including the property as a whole. A private bathroom is guaranteed in every room, complete with shower, bidet, free toiletries and provided bed linen.
On the technology side, the rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV and internet connection. Pets are accepted on request, with a possible surcharge payable by the guest, a useful detail for those travelling with their dog or cat and looking for a flexible accommodation in this area of Rome.
Vatican Rooms is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area of the capital with a good number of neighbourhood bars and restaurants, including Mister Teglia and Siciliando, both just steps from the entrance.

The property is just 50 metres from Cornelia metro station and 550 metres from Baldo degli Ubaldi, making it quick to reach the centre.
