Hotel Paolo II

Friendly and helpful staff. Answered all our questions as it was our first visit to Rome Enjoyed so much planning our next trip as a family

Paolo II was great! It is a smallish standalone building in the courtyard of a private , secure apartment building. The location was 2-3 blocks from Vatican City and 2 blocks from the St Peter train stop (connections to the airport and cruise port in Citavecchia). Shops (pharmacy, grocery, tobacco/liquor) and restaurants all within a few blocks. The staff was excellent and very helpful/friendly. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived at 10:00 so they securely stored our luggage while we explored the Vatican and had lunch. We returned to find we had been upgraded and our bags moved to the room. The room was completely remodeled and modern. Full and spacious bathroom, very comfortable mattress, powered windows, COLD AC, tv, free Wi-Fi, hairdryer, bidet, valuables safe, mini-fridge (w/ 2 free bottles of water), and in our suite, a live garden. Very secure and safe neighborhood. I’d be comfortable having my female friends or family stay there without question. €5 breakfast (hard boil eggs, croissants, pastries, yogurt, juices, spreads, cheeses, salamis, and espresso. This place was an amazing stay and I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in Rome.

The staff was wonderful. This hotel is on a very small and quiet street. Walking distance to the Vatican and bus stops. It is unusual because it is located inside the courtyard of a multi family building. Hence, the rooms have garden walls instead of windows. It is a small hotel but the beds were king size in both rooms with plenty of room.
