Cardinal Hotel St. Peter - Rome

peaceful location, close to the Vatican, large balconies (2nd & 3rd floors), free parking, clean modern rooms.

Expensive soul less cafeteria restaurant.

Hotel was nice and stunningly beautiful, really enjoyed our stay.

The hotel was fairly clean and in a marvellous and perfect location. It was a joy spending time in the spotless and soundproof room with San Pieter view and a balcony and coffee. The breakfasts were particularly nice and the service was brilliant! We had a such wonderful stay because of the pool.

The rooftop bar offered wonderful views, but the AC in the room was ineffective.

The reason I chose the hotel was that is had a swimming pool which I knew we would enjoy after exploring Rome during the day. The hotel was also within walking distance of public transport, restaurants and local shops. Room was spacious and noise level low.

We had a lot of issues during our brief stay. Firstly with the exception of one lady, I found the hotel staff to be unfriendly and not interested in helping you. While there we had no hot water in the morning. When reported got no apology and told it would be back in a few hours. We also had issue with airconditioning and again not very helpful. Eventually we had to change rooms because it was so hot. To add insult to this, we were charged for items from mini bar and telephone after money deducted from credit card. Breakfast was adequate, but juices very substandard and only alternative for kids was hot chocolate. I found the staff to be very defensive about everything and not at all interesting in improving standards.

The service was brilliant during my stay.

The hotel was fine for a base. Roof top terrace and pool were very nice.

The hotel could have been cleaner and more inviting. The facilities are there and with a little promotion and TLC this could be a nice hotel. The pool was too cold to use which is fine as it's only may. However, the weather was very nice and we could have made use of the jacuzzi and bar which were on the rooftop. Again this could be a very nice facility but unfortuantely the jacuzzi was too cold to use and we really had to look for the facility as it was not promoted at all within the hotel. The downstairs American bar was not pleasant at all, there was no atmosphere and would be much better located at the entrance level to the hotel. We did not think about eating in the hotel restaurant at all as it was not inviting.

Perfect getaway for couples

Let me tell you, the terrace with the jacuzzi overlooking St Peter's Cupola was just tremendous, we'd unwind every evening there. Plus, the staff was super responsive, even remembering our coffee preferences at breakfast.

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but you know what? It was worth it.

The free parking was onsite, great service. I greatly enjoyed outstanding cereals, fruit, and cheese.

very good reception staff, rooms are fine

lack of room service, poor quality breakfast - watery fruit juice, no fresh fruit, poor quality croissants, not up to standard of a 4 star hotel.

The room is spotless and soundproof with the good coffee machine, also they can offer wake-up service. The breakfast is excellent, enjoyed cereal, fruit and cheese. The location is great and unbeatable and the food is freshly made. The service is brilliant, includes safe parking.

The hotel is located on a private street and the bus transportation as well as restaurants, pharmacy, and other stores are a short walk away. The hotel is just a few miles away from the Rome city center so getting to the Vatican and other sites in Rome is but a short taxi ride away.

The hotel was good it was a block away from bus stops which made it easy to get around the city.

The hot water did not work for a 14 hour period.

Excellent jacuzzi and pool, many bus routes in to town inc 916 bus and many others. Its a great hotel if your not there for tv and breakfast. Its close enough to get the bus into the city but not much around. That said no noise and smog either. I would recommend this hotel but no tv and breakfast is terrible - that said its free and it would cost as much anywhere else for 4 star without breakfast. Yes the jacuzzi relies on the sun for heat - its hot and refreshing. Too many complaints about this hotel really by others, its basic but nice. The staff can be moany b ut they are Italian, we found that quite a lot. Good place to stay with good bus links.

Breakfast sucks - so what you know that now before you book Staff can be narky but are also helpful. Guests moan too much Need more than bbc world and ccn on tv

The hotel was excellent value, especially for Rome. The room was fairly small but well appointed. You could get to many major sites via a bus which was 5 minutes away.

Great hotel with its free wi-fi, seasonal outdoor pool, and helpful 24-hour reception. The staff once returned documents I accidentally left, so kind. I'll always recommend it for a romantic escape!
