VI Domus – Vatican Museum Guest House – Roma is a guest house in the Trionfale district, about 800 meters from the Vatican Museums and 1.8 km from the Vatican. The property occupies a residential building just a short walk from Cipro metro station, in an area well connected to the historic center.
The four types of double room, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV with streaming services, differ in size and in whether they have a balcony with city views. The offer is designed above all for couples: the property’s ratings for two-person stays are among the highest in the area.

VI Domus offers four variants of double room, all designed for couples and sharing air conditioning, a private bathroom with amenity set, bed linen and a flat-screen TV with access to the main streaming services. Each unit has a wardrobe, and some rooms also feature outdoor furniture, handy for those who want a more informal corner within the space.
What sets the room types apart is mainly the size, which ranges from 14 to 17 square meters, and the presence of a balcony: the Double Room with Balcony is the largest at 17 m² and offers city views, while the Double Room in its balcony version offers the same view in a more compact space. The Standard Double Room, without a balcony, focuses instead on understated furnishings. All rooms are served by a private bathroom with shower or bathtub and provide towels and sheets included in the stay.
This 16 m² double room is the only one among the four room types to offer a distinctive view without a balcony, alongside air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. The outdoor furniture completes the space, designed for those looking for a compact but bright solution.
At 14 m², this is the most compact of the rooms with a balcony: it features air conditioning, a private bathroom and city views through a small balcony, ideal for those who want a moment outdoors without giving up compact spaces.
This is the largest room in the property at 17 m², combining the balcony with city views with a more generous space compared to the other room types with an outdoor view, making it the ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a few minutes outdoors overlooking the neighborhood.
The simplest version in the range, with no balcony or distinctive view, featuring outdoor furniture, air conditioning and a private bathroom: an essential solution for those looking for just a functional base for their nights in Rome.
