Carpe Diem Vaticano

Sauber

Easy to access and quiet

Shower was a bit small but manageable, kettle and coffee machine but no cups only card espresso cups

The location is very nice, good transport connection and not that far walking to the city centre. the room was clean and nice, maybe a bit small, but i think it’s enough for 2 people during short trip. Air conditioning was available. also we were very happy with the service we were given during check in and check out. Overall, recommend!

The only defect I can mention is that the bed was a bit small for 2 people and the mattress was not that comfortable as it could be

The location was one of the property's strongest points. It was conveniently situated close to a metro station and within walking distance of the Vatican, making it easy to reach most of Rome's major attractions. The building itself was charming, featuring a classic old-fashioned elevator that added character to the experience. The neighborhood was also quiet and peaceful, providing a pleasant atmosphere away from the crowds while still being well connected to the city's main sights.

During our stay, several issues occurred that made the experience quite unpleasant. First of all, there was ongoing renovation work on the exterior of the building. A large scaffold covered the entire outside wall of our room. One morning, while my partner and I were lying in bed, a worker literally walked past our window and looked inside. While the situation was somewhat funny in the moment, it was also a serious privacy concern. We were unable to leave the windows open because anyone on the scaffold could easily access our room. Given that Rome was experiencing very hot weather between June 4th and June 9th, keeping the windows closed made the room extremely uncomfortable. The second major issue was the air conditioning. Everything worked properly on the first night, but from the second night onward, the air conditioning stopped working completely. After contacting Daniele, we were informed that we would need to wait for a technician to repair it. As a result, we spent an entire hot day without air conditioning or any fresh air, which was the biggest inconvenience of our stay. Additionally, the shower was extremely small, making it difficult for an average-sized person to move comfortably inside. The bathroom also lacked proper ventilation, relying solely on the window for air circulation. Since we could not open the window because of the scaffold, the humidity remained trapped inside, and our towels stayed damp throughout our stay. To his credit, Daniele did provide a small €20 discount as compensation for the inconveniences we experienced. However, considering the extent of the issues, particularly the lack of privacy and the non-functioning air conditioning during a hot period in Rome, we feel that the overall quality of our stay was significantly affected.
