Aria Palace by OMNIA Hotels

8/10 Good

"The rooftop pool was still under construction, but other than that, it was clean, modern, and all one needs to rest up while visiting Rome."

Hotel Pacific Roma

10/10 Excellent

"Extraordinary breakfast- Monica and Antonio were excellent about everything. Staff were courteous, amiable and respectful. Room service was always exceptional. The room itself was amazing with a really good view. Transit and the Vatican were very close by. We were very content with our stay."

iQ Hotel Roma

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Staff were extremely helpful."

Hotel Quirinale

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean and nice. We first got the room on the 5th floor, it was small, looked old and dark, the faucet leaked, the ceiling in the hallway had cracks. We asked for another room and got one on the 4th floor - new, spacious and renovated. So looks like the experience depends on which room you get. Breakfast - simple but had everything we needed."

Ruby Giulia Hotel Rome

"This hotel was one of the best we have stayed at. Right from the front of office staff even down to the cleaners all were very kind and helpful. Exceptionally clean. The breakfast was excellent and the variety was good as well. Even when we had to leave early to catch a flight we were provided with a good supply of fresh produce to take with us. I cannot say enough about our experience at staying at this hotel. If in Rome we would definitely recommend this hotel to stay at."

Frequently asked questions

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.
