Hotel Description
Nestled in the historic Vaticano Prati district of Rome, the 3-star B&B Best Vatican offers an exceptional stay just moments away from some of the Eternal City’s most treasured landmarks. Located at Via Degli Scipioni 135, this boutique accommodation has earned an outstanding 9.2 rating from satisfied guests, positioning it among Rome’s most beloved lodging options. The B&B’s strategic location places visitors within comfortable walking distance of the magnificent Vatican City, where the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica and the artistic wonders of the Vatican Museums await your discovery. This charming establishment serves as the perfect base for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in Rome’s rich religious and cultural heritage while enjoying personalized service and authentic Italian hospitality.
The B&B Best Vatican distinguishes itself through its commitment to guest satisfaction, as evidenced by its remarkable 9.2 rating. This exceptional score reflects the property’s meticulous attention to detail, from the thoughtfully appointed rooms to the warm, personalized service that makes guests feel genuinely welcome. The Vaticano Prati neighborhood itself adds to the allure of this accommodation, offering a more refined and residential atmosphere compared to Rome’s bustling tourist centers, yet remaining conveniently connected to all major attractions. Here, visitors can experience a taste of authentic Roman life, with local cafés, traditional trattorias, and elegant boutiques lining the surrounding streets. After a day of exploring Rome’s ancient wonders, guests return to a tranquil haven where comfort and quality are paramount. The proximity to the Vatican means you can easily beat the morning crowds to popular sites or enjoy evening strolls around St. Peter’s Square when it’s beautifully illuminated against the night sky.
Beyond its ideal location near the Vatican, the B&B Best Vatican serves as an excellent starting point for exploring Rome’s broader treasures. The nearby Ottaviano metro station connects guests to landmarks such as the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Colosseum within minutes. For those who prefer to experience Rome on foot, the picturesque walk from the B&B to the historic center takes you across the Tiber River via the Ponte Sant’Angelo, flanked by stunning angel statues designed by Bernini. Along the way, discover hidden gems that many tourists miss – quaint piazzas, centuries-old churches housing priceless artwork, and shops where artisans practice traditional crafts. What truly sets the B&B Best Vatican apart, however, is how it offers a respite from Rome’s energetic pace without disconnecting you from the city’s vibrant essence. In a city where accommodation quality can vary widely, this 3-star property with its stellar 9.2 rating represents a rare find – a place where location, quality, and value converge to create a memorable Roman holiday experience. Whether you’re visiting Rome for religious pilgrimage, cultural exploration, or simply to savor la dolce vita, the B&B Best Vatican provides a welcoming home away from home in the heart of this eternal city.

Laura from Australia (8/10)
Great location, check in instructions were very clear. Room was on the smaller size but it was enough for 2 people. The breakfast was delicious – lots of options (croissants, other pastries, toast, yoghurt, plus you can order eggs and coffee). Staff member was very nice. The building has an elevator which made it easier to travel with large suitcases

Robert from Australia (8/10)
Very close to the Vatican, tourist area with food and shops and also metro, trams and buses to get anywhere in the city.
Lauren from United States (10/10)
The staff at Best Vatican are top notch. I found my room to be very clean, perfectly sized, and a nice escape from the busy parts of Rome. Breakfast is really tasty. It’s ideally located near the metro, and within walking distance (roughly 30 minutes) to the historical center. I’m NYer, so I walked everywhere without issue. If they don’t have availability at this location, they have two others in the city as well.
