Hotel Vespasiano

  : Fulvia (receptionist) was amazing, very helpful and good at problem solving. The room we had was very clean and was done every day. Its a cute hotel (extention of the building), but a bit small (butique). They give also a map of Rome and highlight some routes to go. Generally receptionists nice, but Fulvia always went extra mile - that's a keeper! Great location, 3 min walk to Vatican museum, 5 min to metro. In general, from there you can walk to all over city, longest distance to Colosseum probably 45 min walk. Several smaller supermarkets also close by (best we found was Pam) and shopping and food places.
  : Breakfast is only sweets. As my partner is diabetic, this was an issue. Fulvia solved this for most of the days, however one day was a bit of a hassle to get an egg or anything without sugar (but that is issue in all Italy, need to be creative). Safe in both rooms was broken (battery issue, and sounded strong alarm). Breakfast is at 3 times (have to choose) 7.30-8.30 / 8.30-9.30 / 9.30-10.30, no buffet and only 1 kitchen lady working (they have 2, different days) - which one is very friendly and happy person, second a bit more reserved (perhaps the language barrier). No outside windows on the main part of the rooms (inner mini court yard with other hotel rooms), and basement rooms.

  : Once they moved us to a room that was not on the street, it was much quieter. The room itself was lovely and more spacious.
  : Weve never been to a hotel breakfast where they asked us to choose which one hour time slot we want for breakfast, nor one where they brought out food to our table without asking what wed like. Upon request they did manage to scramble some eggs for us.

  : The staff is friendly, the breakfast is great and the location is excellent. The bidet in the bathroom is a nice bonus
  : The ventilation in the room works very weirdly and there were a long periods of time when it felt hot and moist and you can't do anything about it, since the hotel is located in the yard of another building and you have no windows

  : Excellent location - very close to train station for Vatican and easily accessible for many of the other sights.

  : Clean and good location.
  : The air conditioner didnt work which was quite horrible in the beginning. We were just told to open windows which worked but then level of privacy decreased and you heard all the noise from the inner yard.

  : The location was very good, the rooms were nice , very good breakfast, clean rooms, the staff was very helpful , they explained and show all
  : There is visible that hotel is not the newest and you see some old dirty places in the bathrooms, sometimes we heard a noise from the hotels nearby rooms ( doors), we had the problem to recognize entry to the hotel first time, there is just a table on the wall but it looks like normal city building

  : The location of the hotel is excellent. A few hundred meters from the Vatican. Excellent pizzerias nearby.The staff is very nice. It is possible to ask for transfer, the hotel 's own driver took us from the airport to the hotel. He was very polite and he helped us with our luggage.The breakfast room is a quite small, we were advised of this beforehand and had the option to choose what time we wanted to have breakfast, so this was also done smoothly.No one should expect a buffet. The staff brought breakfast to the table separately, which at first was quite little, but luckily you could ask for what you ran out of and it was brought without a problem. After check-out it was possible to leave the suitcases at the hotel and they did not charge anything.
  : The only negative is that the room doors are not insulated, they are thin, so you can hear everything that goes on in the corridor.Luckily the hotel has its own house rules so there was no noise, however you could hear the conversations going on at the reception (we were in the room near the reception).
