Residenza Paolo VI

This hotel was perfect for our first nights in Italy! This was my parents first time in Italy and my Dad can't walk well because of a previous illness, so being close to the Vatican was a must for us for the tour. This is literally on the Vatican's steps and was so close to everything we wanted to do. We also loved that breakfast is served early at 7 AM so that we could book an early tour of the Vatican. The breakfast has a lot of offerings as well which we enjoyed.

A beautiful small hotel in a location adjacent to Saint Peter’s. Suberb staff at all levels: front desk, restaurant/bar, breakfast room and housekeeping. Very nice room with comfort bed, good ventilation and A/C and lighting. Exceptionally clean bathroom. Beautiful hallways. Heartily recommended. Dining is adequate, with some tasty dishes, especially since there are no nearby restaurants. Good hours for breakfast and dinner. Front desk is very, very helpful with taxis and ticketing.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Residenza Paolo VI, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is absolutely unbeatable—just a stone’s throw away from St. Peter's Square, making it the perfect base for exploring the Vatican and Rome’s many attractions. The building itself is lovely, exuding a historic charm that fits perfectly with its surroundings. Inside, the rooms were comfortable, and I was particularly impressed with the air conditioning, which was a lifesaver during the warm summer days. The highlight of my stay was the incredible view from the terrace. Watching the sunset over St. Peter’s Basilica while enjoying a drink was an experience I’ll never forget. Speaking of drinks, the bartender was fantastic—super professional, friendly, and truly made our trip special with his exceptional service. The food at Residenza Paolo VI was also top-notch. We decided to have dinner at the hotel one evening, and it was an excellent choice. The dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend dining in at least once during your stay. Overall, Residenza Paolo VI offers the best location in the Vatican with superb amenities and service. It’s a place I would gladly return to on my next visit to Rome.

If you’re visiting the Vatican, the location is fantastic. Staff are friendly, professional and know the area. Very clean. Price is about right for the location and quality of the property.

The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect – just a stone's throw away from St. Peter's Square, which was the main reason we traveled to Rome. It made sightseeing so convenient, as we could easily walk to all the key attractions. The breakfast was another highlight, offering a delightful selection of fresh, delicious options that fueled us for a day of exploration. As for the room, it was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, providing a peaceful retreat after a busy day.
