An Excellent Stay
An excellent stay at an excellent hotel, a 10-15 minute metro journey away from any site you would want to see in Rome, and even closer to the Vatican. Francesco is a wonderful host and took care of any needs / requests. He has great patience with any language barrier and provides a range of excellent and simple breakfast options each morning. The room and bathroom had the upmost hygiene and cleanliness and could not be faulted. All appliances such as the airconditioning and hair dryer worked perfectly with no issues, and I could not fault really anything about this stay - highly recommended!

Terrible location. Had to walk up or down 1.5 blocks of steps to reach it. Very difficult with luggage. There was no sound proofing; therefore, it was very noisy. Dogs barking as well as noise from other guests were always present. The mattress had springs which jabbed into you, making sleeping difficult. Overall, this property was not a hotel. It was a guesthouse.

Usual customer review that wanted to dictate to us, its own rules. You have arrived 2 days after your reservation without notifying us and requesting a refund. Refund not granted, you could notify us before. You're very angry, I'm sorry, but it's enough to respect the work of others. We recommend that you read our policies before booking. Noisy neighbors? We are in low season and of our 5 rooms only 2 were occupied, yours and the other downstairs. Downstairs. The only correct thing, which we reiterate: WE ARE NOT A HOTEL, we are a small House Relais on the "Clivo" (stairway) of the Vatican. Try to understand what you are booking, the Expedia site helps you in this. Use it well. BEst regards RELAIS CLIVO VATICANO

Poor directions to the location ! As the property is located up a steep staircase this is a big problem. When checking out we used the property’s cab service as we were told they would help us with the luggage; the morning of departure we were given our receipt and a notice that “begged” us to meet the cab on the street. No help with baggage, There are easily 100 steps. A cab charges 45 euro for a ride; the hotel charged 60. Would appreciate transparency in the pricing; here is what a cab charges, this is what we charge, then honor your advertised services. There is no full time service desk, no frig, microwave, ice and a charge for breakfast.

It would be enough to read the information before booking. All comments like yours come from those who DO NOT read before booking. Dear Customer, public taxis have a cost, we provide our private drivers with luxury cars that have other costs. We are a small House Relais, and not a hotel with more stars. The price you paid should let you know. We repeat for the 100th time: we are on the "Clivo" Vatican that the staircase that connects Rome to the Vatican City. If you had looked at our photos and information you would not have made this useless comment. We do not have a 24-hour reception, but this is also known information. Dear customers, please read carefully before booking.

Parking was expensive and a 15 minute walk. Lots of stairs to get to the property, so people that have any difficulties physically should not book this Absolutely no tolerance for late check in. Air conditioner did not work. It is relatively close to the Vatican and the metro Within waking distance

Thanks but this review is not realistic. First thing: We don't have a parking lot. How can it be expensive? We are on the Vatican Clivus the stairs that connects Rome to the Vatican City, we write this in every information and here also finds the photo of the staircase. We are not a Hotel but a small B&B with limited check in times. As always, reviews like this come from those who DO NOT READ the information, before booking. Best Regards

Great B&B near Vatican
It’s a very nice B&B near Vatican. Before I booked it I was worried about the stairs and car parking; but it was easy to reach, just few stairs, and there was a street car parking space, €4 per day. The villa has a very nice garden, the stuff was so kind and helpful. The walls between rooms were actually thin but it was still very quiet during our stay. It’s in a very good location to visit most of the touristic attractions. I would certainly stay there again.

The Long Weekend
The only critizism we have is there should be a mini fridge in the bedroom & a water filling station to fill water bottles, the walk to the hotel is very step so the least that can be done is to have a standpipe close at hand to have a drink of wather.

The hotel is clean and pretty modern. The reception girl was friendly and very helpful. She carried our luggage up and down on very steep staircases. We appreciate her kindness! But we shouldn't book this hotel at all. I mean there was no warning that one has to climb a pretty high mountain to get to the hotel. Besides, our room was on the upper floor and the hotel has no elevator. Instead it has a very steep staircase inside and very high and steep steps outside to reach rooms on the 2nd floor. And there was no luggage room on the 1st floor where we could leave our suitcases. Both my husband and I are over 75, so we would never book such a hotel.

Very noisey room and exploitative transfer costs!!
The Hotel needs sound proofing, you can hear the complete conversations of the people next door..and it is not that the other residents are noisey, rather there is only a very thin partition between rooms which means you are disturbed throughout the night with people moving around, flushing the toilet, having a shower or entering and leaving their room - it is brutal!! It is really a shame as the villa itself, the gardens and the room was lovely but it was totally spoiled by the noise factor as you simply cannot get a night of undisturbed sleep. Ironically the room had a wall mounted tv which you simply could not use due to the disturbance you would be causing to the other guests. Additionally BEWARE if you are unable to check in during appointed hours. If you are unable to do this depending upon your arrival time you have no option other than to use the villa’s pick up from the airport and you will be landed with a very hefty bill for €79 + nearly 30% tax so instead of an airport transfer cost of approximately €25 you will be landed with a bill in excess of €100 which is utterly outrageous and complete exploitation of your circumstances. The alternative advised is to book somewhere else for your first night and check in the following day...customer service?? Not in my book

Dear Sir, thank you for the reply, but we always write the same answers and information. As you can see in all our answers we highlight that we are not a Hotel but a simple B&B with 5 rooms and we do not have a 24-hour reception. Also the price you paid is different from that of the Hotels with more services. Our check-in policy with related times is very clear on all booking websites, especially the one where you confirmed. JUST READ. If you arrive after hours there is a supplement to pay that includes the transfer with driver. This is also clear, just READ. During his stay we had particularly noisy guests near your room. It was simply enough, that you signaled it to us, and we would have changed your room, as we did also with the other neighbors. Unfortunately we cannot give education and respect to people. The LCD television is fully functional, if you have not used it is for your choice. Our "House" has rules and must be followed for the respect of all guests, arriving at night is not possible without supplement and special assistance, I'm sorry. This in our book. Best regards.

A small and quiet B&B within close distance to the walls of the Vatican. Everyone was friendly and we were made to feel very welcome, our room was the perfect size, a very comfortable bed, good air conditioning and a very nice bathroom. We also found the Relais to be very quiet. It's a little way from the centre of Rome, but is only 10 minutes or so walk from the nearest Metro station which takes you quickly into Rome.

Fantastic hotel!
The hotel was beautiful, it had a very relaxing vibe, which was nice to come back to after a busy day in Rome. The room interior was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and the AC seemed new and worked very well. There wasn’t a shower in the room, only a roll top bath and a shower head, but we weren’t able to stand up and shower. The hotel is a short walk to the Vatican City and metro, which can take you to the centre of Rome. We also walked from the centre to the hotel one day, which took about 50 minutes. Breakfast in the morning was a continental breakfast, the housekeeper made a great cappuccino! I’m gluten intolerant and it would have been good if there were more options for those who are gluten free. Overall, this hotel was amazing and would definitely return if we came to Rome again. We highly recommend this place, it is gorgeous!

The location is absolutely great provided you are perfectly fit with no walking difficulties (my mum suffering from arthritis would not be able to climb the stairs, but I quite enjoyed it.) It's close to all attractions and the underground line. It is a very small and quiet place, The service is very good (one lady called Veronica who makes cappuccino and is very diligent about her job). The buffet breakfast was a nice surprise because of the choice of food and drinks. The only complaint is the hot tub, which could do with some cleaning and chlorine but it wasn't a massive disappointment. All in all I wholeheartedly recommend staying there.

We have a typical italian breakfast. At 4 am we have courtesy lights available, certainly being night, it is darker than the evening lights.

Surprise stay in Relais Clivo Vaticano
Relais Clivo Vaticano is a little b&b. My wife and I were happy staying there. We had a late check in around 8:30pm and welcomed by the staff Alexandria. She spent time to show how to go to different attractions. The cosy room was tidy and clean. The location is quite. It's about 10 minutes walk to Metro. We found it's convenient. In the morning we enjoyed the breakfast and cappuccino made by another staffs before our exploration in Rome. If we go to Rome in the future we will definitely stay in Relais Clivo Vaticano again.

Never Got out of Receptionl Room
Quite terrible. Actually traumatic. The staff were uncaring and unwavering. This is a "special type of residence", and really shouldn't be listed with other hotels in Rome. It was totally inappropriate for a mother traveling alone, to visit her son, who is a study abroad student. I wanted to leave as soon as I arrived, and the staff wouldn't grant me a refund, for a totally inappropriate lodging for me and my circumstance. They have rules that no one, I mean not even my son, could enter the property, other than me. It's some kind of religious Vatican owned property, not a real hotel. He couldn't come into the gate to help with my luggage, nor come over and visit in my room. Had I stayed there, I would have to make a plan to meet him each time on the street, or at a restaurant closeby. And the place was off the beat and path, up 2 flights of dark steps, off from a dark street, not safe for a woman alone. The staff was rude, and kept me waiting in a room for 2 hours...and didn't even emerge from their office to tell me what was going on. After a frustrating wait, I was tired, cold, and it was raining. I finally said that I was leaving, after sitting alone for 2 hours, and getting nowhere with my refund exception, from them directly. I booked my own new accommodations while being kept waiting that entire time. I was shaken, angry, and was considering booking a flight back to the States. No one needs to be treated so disrespectfully and rudely on vacation.

Dear Ms. in your case the real problem is another: you had booked for 1 person,but you wanted to sleep with us, in 2 people without paying a fee surcharge.This is the real point.First I want to clarify that we are not a Hotel but a simple House Relais with clear rules. If you book for a person you have to be here alone, very simple.We did not deny you being here with your son but when we told you to pay for the supplement you started screaming.Education is a fundamental requirement for us.We contacted Expedia together and they also confirmed they had to pay the difference for the second guest.At that point you went away slamming the door.Pure delirium.

Idealic hotel
Though there were few rooms in the hotel they were quite idealic. Very cute and charming. The location of the hotel was tricky but upon arrival we were poured a glass of water. The hotel itself is within walking distance to a select few locations but is also within walking distance to the metro which one can take to get to Ancient Rome. Overall a very pleasurable experience!

Stayed here on our first trip to Rome, hotel was lovely, nice and intimate, has a real personal feel to it. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the lady who makes the coffee in the morning made the best Cappucino I have ever had! The room was immaculate, very clean and tidy. Shower and bathroom were spotless. Superb location for seeing the city, literally 5 mins from the Vatican museum, and only 10/15 minute walk from the train to get to the Colesseum. Will definitely be staying there again.

VIP experience
As a seasoned traveler I am always wary of the "too good to be true" hotel. this hotel is the real deal ! I felt like a VIP from the moment we came through the gate ! Luxury and attention to detail is the main concept at Realis clivo vaticano! The breakfast is a continuation of a dream and a beautiful start to the day! The bed is firm and luxurious. The tub !!!! Ah the tub ...the ultimate soak after a long day of walking romes streets . The staff is caring and constantly smiling . Knowledgeable and capable in the most friendly way !! And they made our stay a roman dream!!! GRATZI MIL!!!! . I will only stay here in Rome
The tub luxury!!!!

Quiet relaxing refuge
Fantastic aircon which was much appreciated in temperatures mid 30s and higher, steps to the place weren't a problem if you're reasonably able bodied, gardens pretty, be careful coming down the spiral staircase inside the accommodation as they are rather narrow a good place to stay for 2-3 nights. Reception staff helpful and pointed us to a nearby trattoria for late food as we arrived at 10.30pm. Late check in required us to use the hotel taxi at extra cost of 79 euros each way we hadn't realised on booking but it is mentioned on the web site having said that we used again to return to the airport as it was comfortable stress free and easy.
