Highly recommended.

clean and pleasant staff

Excellent service.

Wonderful stay. Perfect location for my needs and so accommodating. Thank you!

Great location, room was very clean. Location quiet.

Very convenient location. Friendly staff.

Clean, updated bathrooms, comfortable double bed. Near St Petersburg Basilica.

The host was lovely as Rome itself. We will be back

Very quaint and modern place to stay. Just a step away from the Vatican.

Close to St Peters Basilica, staff very helpful and nice

Good!

Everything was nice,clean and close to good places

Property was right near the Vatican and walkable with time to various sites. Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, then Spanish Steps. Great food options as well right outside your door . Great location. Federica amazing host as well.

The hotel itself was very nice. The rooms were clean, spacious and updated. Location was great as well. Very close to the Vatican! The hotel offers to arrange an airport shuttle. This is where we encountered the issue. The morning we were checking out of the hotel, they supposedly arranged for the airport shuttle to pick us up from the hotel and take us to the airport. When the shuttle never showed up, we learned they had arranged for the shuttle to pick us up from the airport! It took them 45 minutes to get us alternate transportation. This made for a very stressful morning! The worst part was that we never got an apology. If you stay here, I highly recommend you arrange your own transportation.

Everything

just outside the walls of the Vatican, it is close to major attractions, dining, and metro stop.

Street construction

Great location. Property is in great condition. Walking distance to a lot of places

Excellent

Frederica went over and above to help us. Kitchen had all that we needed. So very close to St Peter’s square. A perfect spot for our visit.

Very close to everything

Our check in was all done remotely. We never met the operator. We liked the area. Very close to SPB and other attractions. Clean. Our room had skylight that could be opened. Nice room. My only complaint is that the operator, through text, told me she would arrange for a taxi pick up the night before we left. I asked her to confirm when done. Never heard from her that night. Ended up doing it myself. Not a huge deal but if i had trusted it was done, we would have missed our flight to London.

We were happy we booked Borgo Pio Suites. Easy access to St. Peter's Square and the Vatican. 👍🙌💯

Fredricka is the absolute best host a person could ask for. The rooms are small, but they are clean. The property is within walking distance from everything. Perfect location. I’d definitely recommend.

Everything was good ! Very clean & comfortable place to stay. Federica was awesome and Maria is polite & friendly. I will surely come back and stay in Pio Borgo again

No code on arrival. No one there. Breakfast not worth the money ate out. Someone walked in the room when I was in it. Safe broke. Contacted them said they would be there 9-30, they weren’t. 9am-4pm someone was supposed to be there they weren’t.

Clean, quiet and close to The Vatican. Great location. One huge plus is wonderful working air conditioning. We switched to Borgo Pio after leaving a hotel that would not fix their air conditioning. A must have in 100 plus heat.

Most Enjoyable!!!

Excellent, central to so many places! Clean, large bedroom and bathroom. Would most definitely stay again!

location is great!

Hotel was lovely & clean & Frederica & staff were helpful & professional. Hotel is small but had everything we needed as most of the day was spent out sightseeing. The hotel is located 2 minutes walk to the Vatican which was ideal & whichever road you take, it's full of cafes, restaurants & souvenir shops We used to visit St Peter's Square everyday, sometimes 3 times. It's lovely in the evening with the lights & after a long day of sightseeing & walking, my husband & I used to just sit on the steps & take in the views. It's so relaxing & tranquil. Inside the basilica is amazing. Enjoyed the whole trip, & will definitely visit Rome again

Very quiet And close to everything

FRIENDLINESS OF THE OWNER. READY TO HELP IN ANY CASE. ROOM ARE COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN EVERY DAY EVEN DURING COVID. VERY CONVENIENT KITCHEN. VERY WELL SITUATED.

Posizione perfetta, a due passi da San Pietro. Staff molto gentile e accogliente. Stanza molto spaziosa.

Close from restaurant's, metro, Vatican. Excellent location, Excellent service.

Great place, felt like home. Great staff.

Great location to be near Vatican City with plenty of nearby restaurants. Staff was helpful.

1. One block from St. Peter’s Square, stores and restaurants. 2. Excellent manager (Federica). Great communication. 3. Spacious room. 4. Secure premises. 5. Safe neighbourhood.

The property is very close to the Vatican City and museum. Restaurants are just a block over. The closest metro station is about 6 blocks away, maybe 10 minute walk. The staff was awesome! She helped with understanding the map and near area. Very relaxed environment. The beds were a little to firm for us but no big issue whatsoever.

Fantastic, very kind service from the lovely staff. Wonderful location very near the Vatican.

Location, private and quiet. Convenient to Saint Peter’s.

Loved the location and cleanliness of this hotel. Frederica was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend and will stay here in the future.

Clean and very spacious room. Communication with personal was excellent, very attentive even after doing check in after hours the manager was great. Very close to Vatican City.

Perfect location for the purpose of visiting the Vatican, St Peters and Sistine Chapel. Rental was well equipped for our needs.

My stay at Borgo Pio Suites was outstanding. The room was very clean. The property's proximity to the Catholic Church was in walking distance.. \

If this is your first time in Vatican and want to attend the Wednesday or Sunday mass I recommend this place it just 2 minutes away from the square. And the place is very comfortable specially Laura she was very accommodating and entertaining during our breakfast. If we come back here Rome/Vatican definitely we will stay here again.

Apartment very conveniently situated to St Peters. About a 2 minute walk. Lots of places to eat as well.

Highly recommended

Great location, friendly staff, really nice-good size room

Nice hotel, close to the Vatican and others importants areas. Excellent services. 100 % recommend.

Clean suitable place to stay. Quaint village at end of street.

Everything sbout this stay was exceptional. The staff were wonderful, helpful and attentive to our needs The location is fantastic, only a few hundred meters from the Vatican, handy to underground if needed but also a close walk to the river. We walked to all the key attractions and discovered so many places on roure that would have been missed. Absolutely would stay again here when in Rome.

Modern, comfortable and clean. Loved the sky light.

The room was really great. Location was perfect and everything was great. Thank you Fedrica. Say sorry to the helper for the loss. We didn't talk much as she was really sad. Thank you to her too for maikng us nice breakfast.

Great location. Friendly staff and easy access to property.

Everyone went above and beyond . The girls at the front desk and the gentleman that works nights were, very friendly and gave us information on restaurants and places to visit. Don’t want to forget fortunata, the maid , that helped me with some Italian translation

Amazing hotel, amazing location. Street next to the hotel has some amazing restaruants.

Near Vatican good links to rest of Rome.

Near Vatican city with easy transport links. If you want to be near main sites then it isn't for you. Staff friendly and very accommodating. We missed breakfast but they brought it to our room well after 10am. Only problem is the plumbing...shower slightly blocked so bad door would drift into room.

This is a lovely well appointed small Inn with very friendly and helpful staff. We loved the accesibility to many major attractions and transportation. Breakfast was typical European, which was just enough to get the day off to a great start. I would definitely use this Inn again, it was perfect.

Great location very close to St. Peter's Square

Great location very close to St. Peter's Square. Hotel is in a quiet street, room was clean, and price was lower than I would have expected for that location. Drawback -- my reservation said free breakfast, but what that meant was raiding the refrigerator in the common kitchen for whatever you can find, which was pretty much nothing when I tried. That was disappointing as meals in restaurants are expensive in Rome. This is a house converted into a hotel, so don't expect the usual hotel structure and amenities. I would stay again if I visited.

Close to Vatican and other tourist sites in Rome.

Most hotels in Rome are antiquated but renovated, this one off site suite we stayed at has not recently been updated. It did have A/C, a small kitchen and dining area. Hostess and cleaning lady did help us roll our four pieces of luggage over cobblestone streets for a couple of blocks. They were most personable.

Close to Vatican!

Our room was an apartment located down the street from the office. We shared a kitchen with two other guest rooms but had our own bath and locked room. We never saw the other guests so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We were very close to the Vatican as well as many wonderful restaurants. We saw all of the major attractions of room by foot. The room was comfortable and full of character. The staff were very kind and accommodating. We would stay there again.

100% authentic / great street / walker's dream

My wife and I were treated by the owners and taken to the location of the suite in person. Very friendly. They showed us everything we needed to know to enjoy spending time at the property. Access to a full kitchen and living space. Private bedroom and bathroom. Each day my wife and I explored Rome on foot from this location. Obviously all of the Vatican highlights are only a couple minutes walk to the end of the street. During the week, my wife and I picked a different site and meandered our way there through Rome itself. Stopping for cappuccino and croissants, meats and cheese plates, gelati, pizza, and other great food along the way to keep us fueled. By the end of our trip, we had walked to a local food market, the Trevino Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Piazza Novona, and a long list of basilica. Shopping along the way at souvenir places, high end clothing and fashion stores, etc. One day, we decided to take the high speed train from Roma Termini station to Naples. The metro was about a 10 minute walk, which we took to Termini to get on the Frecciarosa to Napoli. It was beautiful, of course, but I missed the smells and sounds that permeate the soul while in an authentic part of Rome like where the Borgo Pio Suites Inn is located. Even the little kids running around after school and playing and having fun together was fun to watch, while sipping espresso at a street cafe. If you like to walk, and keep it "real", stay here.

Enjoyable

Great Location and Really nice staff!!

I had a great stay in Rome and this hotel was super close to The Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica!!! The room was really comfortable and clean! My favorite part was the staff! They were very friendly and willing to help me determine where to go during my visit.

RETURN VISIT

This hotel is small and very friendly. They pay attention to every need and are most helpful. THIS WAS A RETURN TRIP AND I WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN IF I AM IN ROME. IT IS 5 MINUTES WALK TO ST. PETER'S SQUARE

Classy hotel

Very comfortable, stylish and at a great price. The restaurant and bar were lovely and the breakfast offered is excellent. I highly recommend this hotel

Flora was very nice , good host. Close to the Vatican and restaurants. Easy to reach transportation. Thank you

Short walk from Vatican

Nice walking district with many restaurants within a block. Good shopping district nearby. Front desk is not manned all the time so it is important to have the code for the entry BEFORE you arrive. Once inside the keys, info and map were waiting on the desk. Very quiet. Spacious room with nice bathroom. Safe in room. Bar fridge. At first room was a bit moldy smelling but the AC took care of that. We saw several plug in air deodorizers so if you were sensitive to the smell it might bother you.

Good hotel

Friendly staff, Great location.

This place is worth it!

AMAZING, very kind staff, room was clean and comfortable. Very close location to Vatican, public transportation and restaurants. Went with my girlfriend for a few nights in Rome. We originally picked it for convenience: The Vatican & its convenience to local transportation. Little did we know that we made a great choice. Other than the latter, we found that this location was more than we bargained for! The staff was very kind and over-hospitable. The rooms were very clean and modern. Our room came with an automatic moon-roof that brought in such a beautiful light for the day (little to no electricity required!). The hotel is very close to a walkable ally fool of wonderful restaurants and eateries. If you stay here, try the gelato @ Del Monte!! The breakfast is served by the lovely housekeeping where they make you coffee and serve you sweet and simple pastries enough to keep you full till lunch.

Location! Location! Location!

Location was ideal if you are visiting the Vatican. Amazing places to eat around within walking distance. However, the beds could have been softer for better comfort. We spent for days there and the bed sheets, bathroom towels were never changed. The coffee cups were dirty, had coffee stains from previously been used prior to our arrival. The coffe maker was very dirty: it had pieces of rust or who knows what inside. The shower walls appeared to have mold from not been property cleaned. Federica was amazing! She was very helpful and always had a smile on her face.

Hard to find in Rome

tucked away on a narrow alley this hotel is very inconspicuously signed. You must look for the address on the building. We had a very nice stay although breakfast is spartan, accommodations were very adequate.

Excellent location and service!

The location and the staff are excellent! Will come here again...

Basic but good location

Difficult to find, and then when you arrive at the reception you have to walk back down the road to get to the apartment. Bed sheets had stains on the top cover, possibly from leak in the roof beams, and floor felt gritty and dirty. Great location for the Vatican city, and really nice local restaurants.

Little Gem in an Annex

We stayed in the Economy Annex room. Everything you need in a clean, comfortable, and welcoming surrounding. Room a wee bit old, but had been told this on booking. Option to have modern rooms for a wee bit extra in main building. Great location, brilliant staff, and comfortable 6 night stay. Could not recommend more for young couple traveling!!

It was fantastic stay for my vacation in Rome. Please consider that breakfast is served from 8 am if you book the hotel with breakfast included.

Nice hotel.

Amazing and accommodating management

Federica made herself available 24 hours! 8 had a driver not show up at 2 am for my flight, called her through whatsapp and she answered and gave me a taxi number. That's above and beyond! She also made the reservation for tickets for the general audience with pope Francis for me and dropped off a copy to our room. Her and Laura carried our luggage up 2 flights of stairs and hardly accepted our help. The downside is that the room was blocks away from the actual address listed & no elevator. It was inconvenient taking luggage through the uneven pavement and carrying it up and down the stairs. However, the location wasn't perfect walking distance from food and actual Italian clothing shops!!!

Excellent hotel

Excellent hotel- very clean and quiet! Location is as close to St. Peter's Square as you could get! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay there. I would definitely recommend.

Very helpful and convenient

Our room was very clean, basic but perfect location and check in was easy. We done lots of walking but loved our stay in Rome.

Top notch hotel.

The hotel was clean, simply decorated and the rooms were surprisingly spacious. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood only a stones throw away from the Vatican and close to loads of local shops and restaurants. It's a short walk to Castle St Angelo and only slight further to most of the bigger sights. First rate breakfast service and was always offered more by the friendly staff. Highly recommended for any length vacation in Rome.

Close to Vatican

We found the bed comfortable. The bathroom had some water damage near the shower and water temp had some problems. Housekeeper was very sweet. Our room did not include breakfast which we didn't know until we got there. We ate breakfast just once. We didn't feel it was worth 6 euros but housekeeper provided coffee. What a blessing. Small convenience store around the corner had great fruit. This hotel is on other side of the Vatican wall. Convenient to bus to and from Termini. Staff at hotel very knowledgeable and friendly. We much appreciated their assistance.

Great location near Vatican.

Great location 2 minutes from St Peter's Sq and in a safe area. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was basic. Rooms are ok but beds could be more comfortable and there was no hot water for 2 out of our 4 morning's there.

St. Peter's - Vatican Area Gem Boutique!!

Charming, helpful staff, nice breakfast and very comfy rooms BUT all rooms are totally interior with either skylights or alley wall view windows, so can be a bit chlorstrophobic! Also no 24 hour lobby staff so you'd best not lose your key! Still we had a most enjoyable stay with unbelievably convenient access to sightseeing at the Vatican/St. Peter's and proximity to the Hop On Hop Off bus! All this at an amazingly affordable rate made up for any inconvenience as far as we were concerned!

I would not book it again

It was good to be close to Vatican, however, the hotel is nothing over 'adequate'. We stayed in the annexed building which was around 5 min walk from the main one. We were also charged an extra EUR 35 because we had a late check-in. If I knew this before I booked, I would not have booked this hotel. There were restaurants close by and I could hear very early in the morning recycling collections for bottles. We also shared the living room (common area) with other guests in the same flat and it was sometimes loud.

Staying in an old Italian house in Rome was great.

It was great though i found a hard time in opening the two-lock system on the door leading to our room (occupied the attic) at the annex building. But i enjoyed my 5days stay at the borgo pio suites. And if i ever come back to rome, for sure ill stay again with your hotel.

Nice Hotel

Very friendly staff at reception, they were very helpful with tips and suggestions for the city. The breakfast was also very good and Laura was extremely helpful as well. Great location. The hotel and the rooms are really nice and elegant. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to everyone, from solo travelers to families.

Checkout is TOO early

Everthing was OK except few bed bugs attacked our feet and 10:30am checkout is a little TOO EARLY :/

Nice hotel near Vatican

Really friendly and helpful staff. Hotel in a somewhat run down street but it felt safe. Room smelled fusty but that is due to age of building. Breakfast is a good deal.

Great area

Warm welcome, very hard to park in the area which could be mentioned in the details. Upon arrival the air conditioning didn't work & as that is my "other half" job he was happy to fix. We were then left the following day a lovely fruit basket. We thought that was a lovely touch. We stayed 5 nights & the bed sheets were never changed within this time, although we were left clean towels every day. The room was on split level having the shower room up very steep stairs along with the air conditioning unit that could of been in the main room as it was too warm. I would only rate this room a 2 star rating.

Disappointed by noise in secondary/annex location

I very rarely leave negative reviews but staying at the secondary location or annex of this inn was the worst spot that we stayed in Europe. The other reviews seemed very positive and I was very excited. Turns out that our room was was in the annex, with 2 locks on the suite's entrance that was very difficult to open with the 4 keys that we given. We were asked to lock the doors behind us which was terrifying because if there was a need to rush out, it would have taken us a long time with the complicated locks. We had to walk through a dining room and living room with old, used furniture to get to our bedroom. We were not impressed with this first impression. Reminded me of a hostel. Our bedroom had a very firm mattress and VERY little room to walk around it to get in on the other side. Our window had one pain and it did not cut out any noise. We heard people, children, dogs, and the glass bottles that were taken out by restaurants. We ended up downloading a white noise app and turning it full blast to cut out the noise. When we complained to the management they were unable to help us. They offered to move us on our 4th and final night to the main inn, but to pack up for one night seemed silly. They were unable to give us any money to help us find a hotel that was more quiet. Our stay in Rome was ruined because we were exhausted from not sleeping.

Some good points and some bad

The hotel staff was very very nice and helpful. They get full marks for that. However, the rooms and the hotel had moisture issues. There is a very musty smell when you first enter the hotel and the room. Our room had mold in the bathroom because of the moisture issues. The room was fairly clean but the floors didn't seem to be swept every day because dirt gathered on our feet when we walked around the room. The bedding was clean and comfortable but the mattresses were very hard. The finishes of the room were updated and very nice. There was a lot of noise in our room mostly from seagulls but especially the first night when a neighboring building's fire alarm went off until 3am. The air conditioning is wonderful for the hot summer days and nights (though its annoying that the housekeeper turns it off and you come back to a hot room). The hotel is in a very convenient location, just around the corner from the Vatican. There are many food places close to the hotel but I would avoid them because they were ridiculously expensive and not very good. There are many much better restaurants a little further but still walking distance. Overall, I might stay again if the hotel gets the mold issues under control.

Three blocks from the Vatican!

Very comfortable and affordable accommodations with good eating options nearby, along with friendly staff.

Great place!

Our group of 7 took up three of the six rooms at this boutique hotel. It was super clean, in great location, and we felt completely at home. The staff went out of their way to provide breakfast at an hour that suited our early tours and also helped when one of our party lost their passport. If you wish to stay close to the Vatican, I highly recommend this hotel. The metro is a short walk, maybe 15 minutes away.

Close to Vatican

The hotel has just 5 rooms. They are basic but clean. There are plenty of places to eat and if the Vatican is on your agenda then this is hard to beat. The staff is fantastic. Willing to help in any way. We arrived on a Sunday and when I went out to an ATM one block over the Pope began addressing the crowd in Vatican Square. Pretty cool even for this non Catholic

Beautiful trip to Rome

The hotel Annex was excellent and the staff and Owner were very welcoming and supportive to all our needs. We got engaged on the trip and I mentioned to staff that morning we came back later that night and they had 2 beautiful swan towels on our bed just stunning very sweet. I would recommend anyone to stay here.

Friendly hotel

We stayed in the hotel annexe which is ideally located approximately 5 minutes away from the Vatican. The apartment was clean and spacious. There was a minor problem with the shower which was resolved quite quickly and staff were helpful and friendly. Great value for money, would stay there again.

Excellent location

Disappointed that check-in location was 200 yards from accommodation and kitchen and "living" space were shared with two other rooms. No banister up steep "open" flight of stairs to room, so had to manage three flights to room. Location is superb for Vatican, central Rome, and Tiber. Borgo Pio has wonderful selection of restraunts, pizzerias, trattorias, bars, etc.

A Perfect Small Hotel in Rome

We stayed 6 nights and had a perfect Roman holiday at Borgo Pio Suites. The staff was so very friendly and helpful wth everything! Using the bus and metro we could get to all parts of the city or just walk, the location was excellent. The room was very modern and spacious, and the small hotel (only 8 rooms) was so quiet. We would definitely return.

Great staff--Good location

The title describes the hotel. The staff is very helpful and equally friendly. We will stay at this location our next visit to Rome. Although a block from St. Peter's, it is very quite. Restaurants are nearby and a mini mart is on the same street. The rooms are large, include a safe and had adequate storage for our two week stay. When compared to the typical european accommodation the room is large. If you do not desire 24 hour room service or have similar high end requirements, this hotel is as good as they come. (Safe--Clean--Nearby Vatican--Excellent Staff)---enough said.

Our stay was great and would return to hotel.

I would highly recommend staying here. The price was perfect, and the hotel staff was exceptional. I can not speak an ounce of Italian, and the staff was very helpful in navigating the city. The room was a decent size, but was a tad muggy.

excellent location

Great stay. excellent staff. location couldn't have been better. This is where I'll be staying anytime I return to Rome
