Cardinal Hotel St Peter - Rome

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.

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

Expensive soul less cafeteria restaurant.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 has a good location if you travel by car. It is easy to find the hotel and you have a free parking at garage and it is very simple to get into the city by bus. The hotel has free wifi internet in the lobby and in the rooms you have to pay 7 eur for 24 hour for internet. The hotel has very nice view to st.peter cathedral and the vatican. You have also on the roof 3 jacuzzis. Also you have a swimming pool and it was great and all facilities are free of charge. If you want to go into the city, you can take the bus nr. 916 and it will bring you directly to the city center. The drive takes about 10-15 minutes. The daily ticket is 4 eur, and you can use it until 23:59 on the day when you stamp it. The ticket you can by on the kiosk (trafik) T. To the vatican you can also walk, it takes about 25 minute easy walking. The rooms are renovated and clean. The price that we payed was 55 eur per night for 2 persons, and that is very good price for all that we become in the hotel. We recommend this hotel and would stay again there.

The breakfast should be better for a 4 star hotel. You have only one salame, chese, eggs, bacon, croissants, corn flakes etc.

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.

The rooms were excellent. A very good size, with a great view of St Peters from the balcony where you could really relax. Lovely bathroom. The pool was good and the jacuzzi was a great bonus! It is a little out of town but close to the underground or bus which is easy to use. Would recommend it!

Room, breakfast, staffing

From the rooftop, the hotel has a beautiful view of the Vatican. There are three jacuzzi's on the roof and a large area to sit and relax. The jacuzzi's are not heated, so they are more suitable for a hot summer day. The breakfast was wonderful. Great service, well decorated tables and an abundance of delicious food all included in the price of the hotel. The rooms were cozy, comfortable and clean. Plenty of storage and a mini refrigerator with various drinks and snacks. It is about a 25 minute walk to the Vatican and there are multiple bus tours you can take from Vatican City. The hotel staff were wonderful!

the cleanilles in the rooms

room is cleaning ,breakfast is normal

it is not very near metro , it is not real good location when you travel with small child.

The room was clean, confortable, with a nice balcony with table and chairs. Service was good, food was not so good but the neighbor hotel has an exelent restaurant. Hotel is about 4 km from downtown but easy access to the bus station. Taxi from the hotel to downtown costs around EUR 9,00 and takes 8 minutes.

Hotel is not in the city center.
