Wonderful experience in Rome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I spent a beautiful vacation in Rome at Impero Vaticano . My experience was truly amazing — the property is wonderful, elegantly furnished, and very well maintained. The location is perfect, very convenient for visiting the Vatican and the city center, with many transport options nearby. The room is stylish and comfortable, and the bathroom is elegant and modern.

It was our second time at Impero Vaticano and we can say they still provide great service. The accommodation is really near Vatican. It was clean, the person who greeted us was really nice and we had a great time there. We were really happy that we could stay there during our trip. I can only recommend.

“Good value for money”
The room and location met our expectations. The photos provided online accurately reflect what you’ll find upon arrival. A small pantry is available, which was especially convenient for preparing simple meals and coffee during our stay.

“They literally told me "F*ck off" before my check-in”
To summarize the good: The shower, bed, and bathroom were great. The more expensive bedroom was luxuriously decorated, with the bedsheets and wallpaper fitting the saintly theme. The shower featured a sprinkler showerhead and high-quality shampoo, which was especially appreciated due to the terrible summer heat. The location was good, being just a few minutes away from Vatican City. The man who manages the property was kind and flexible; he even offered to store our backpacks for free after check-out. He made the property a more welcoming place, despite the horrible customer service before our check-in.
