Hotel Prati

A two-star hotel in an ideal location near Vatican City, gelato shops, shopping areas, and restaurants. I was warmly greeted on a hot day and was allowed to check in early. The room was small but clean, and I felt very safe. It is a short seven-minute walk to the nearest SIT airport bus station. I loved the 24-hour front desk, which allowed me to refill my water bottle and grab a banana before my early departure. The only negatives were the requirement to turn in your key when you leave the hotel and that the safe did not work in my room.

The staff was so incredibly kind. The breakfast was ok. The rooms VERY VERY small. The bathrooms so small and the showers almost impossible to use. I’m not a big lady and I could not even raise my arms to barely wash my hair they were that small. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel or stay here again.

The room was clean, but a little small. The AC certainly did not function the best. This is one of the very few hotels that I stayed in where you can open the windows and shutters, so you try to take in the sites and sounds from your viewpoint. But the AC connection is dependent on the windows being closed, and that wasn’t explained to us, meaning the AC will shut off if the windows are not closed. As this is an older hotel, they still rely on physical keys, which is charming, however, they require you to return your key when you leave the hotel each day. The power in your room is dependent on your hotel key, and the power gets turned off from your room when you leave, so when you arrive back in your room, your AC is working to bring the temperature down which can take some time in the hot summer. Additionally, our AC unit was only able to get down to 25°C, despite setting the requested temperature much lower.

Really lovely staff, ac, 24/7 reception and luggage storage. Super convenient location. I did find a couple silver fish but overall for the price I can’t complain!

The staff and front desk guys were helpful. The room is fairly clean but very small, good for solo traveler. Fee for extra towels. Need to be careful on shower floor, very slippery, had to put towels on the floor. No phone in the room. Elevator very small,only one person will fit with luggage. Unfortunately elevator wasn’t working upon check out but cleaning staff able to help to bring down the luggages. Good location for short stay.

Small rooms but good enough for us since we only slept in our room. The air conditioning was appreciated as was the free simple breakfast in the morning. Good location near the Vatican
