"Great place to stay. Clean and comfortable. No view. Check-in process is goofy and challenging. I liked the place!"

The Hive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cleaning crew was fantastic!!! Our room was cleaned everyday. The front desk was always helpful and friendly, and got us checked in a little early upon our arrival, which was really nice after 24hrs of travel. The daily breakfast was a highlight for sure. The only thing I was disappointed in were the gym hours they don’t open until 7am so makes it hard to get a workout in if you want before catching early trains, tour buses, etc…….Also I was unaware it wasn’t included for being a hotel guest. It’s an additional 9 euros a day to use the gym and it says nothing about that on the advertisement. Besides those two things it was a great stay and great location."

We had drinks at the restaurant, street level, great for people watching. We especially loved the rooftop bar for snacks and drinks. The man working there was fabulous. Our bedroom was comfy after a day of touring Rome. The breakfast was more than we could ever eat. We felt safe the entire time. What a great place. I would stay there again! It was very clean and modern. Shops were nearby, literally on the same block. Restaurants were everywhere, we never had to look for one."

What is the best area to stay in Vatican City?

As Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world, the best area to stay is just outside its walls in the Prati district of Rome, Italy.Prati is a top residential and commercial neighbourhood located directly to the east of Vatican City. It's known for its wide, tree-lined avenues like Via Cola di Rienzo, which is excellent for shopping, and elegant Art Nouveau architecture. You'll find a good selection of quality hotels, restaurants, and shops here. It's also very well-connected by public transport, with several metro stations and bus routes making it easy to explore the rest of Rome.For couples, Prati offers a sophisticated and convenient base. You're within easy walking distance of St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, allowing for early morning or late afternoon visits to avoid larger crowds. After a day of sightseeing, you can enjoy a relaxed dinner at one of the many trattorias or cafes in the area.Families will also find Prati a practical choice. The neighbourhood is generally quieter than some of the more central Roman districts, providing a calm retreat after busy days. Its wide pavements are pram-friendly, and there are parks nearby for children to enjoy.

When is the best time to go to Vatican City?

The best time to visit Vatican City is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically April to May and September to October, to enjoy pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these months, the temperatures are comfortable for exploring, usually ranging from 15°C to 25°C. You'll find the major attractions, such as St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, are less crowded than in the peak summer months. This allows for a more relaxed experience, whether you're admiring the Sistine Chapel or strolling through the Vatican Gardens.For those who prefer even fewer people and don't mind cooler weather, visiting in November or early December can also be a good option. While it's cooler, with temperatures around 10°C to 15°C, the benefit of shorter queues and a more tranquil atmosphere often outweighs the need for a warmer coat.
