Worth weighing

  • No pets and no parking listed — The property states pets are not allowed, and no parking options appear in the listing – a consideration if you're driving.
  • Only a Double Room is listed — The room list shows only a Double Room, with no twin or family option in the current list.

“The location was the best part – a short walk from the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica, so we never needed to travel far. The rooms were spacious and clean, with everything we needed. Since we hadn't opted for breakfast, the tea and coffee in the room came as a pleasant surprise and a good way to start the day.”
