Fantastic time at the Prati! I knew when I booked it that it was close to the Vatican, but even still, I was impressed with its location once we got there. Not only is it close to one of the world's most awe-inspiring places, but it is also in just a nice, normal-feeling Roman neighbourhood. Our room was a fine... More

My husband and stayed in the Hotel Prati with a group of friends in July 2010. It's an excellent location for walking to the Vatican as well as to the major sights in Rome. The price is very good. Our room was small but very clean and we slept well. Our friends had air conditioning trouble and a leaking refrigerator,... More

This hotel had very friendly staff and a nice simple breakfast downstairs in the morning. This place was cheap, and my room was very small, but for the price it is a steal. The rooms were extremely clean. The location is one of the best things about this hotel, and I walked to most other parts of the city from... More

This hotel is great bang for your buck. In a nice area, simple rooms , beds not plush yet comfortable (think, staying in the bed at nonna's house) plus nice bed-ware. I think that the most important thing when you are going budget on a hotel is cleanliness and the rooms here are so clean you could eat off the... More

This small 2** hotel is located within 10 min of walking distance to St.Peter's Basilica/Vatican City. Close to Ottaviani Metro station, but also easy to walk to all the big attractions; Castel St.Angelo, Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori, Trastevere etc. Breakfast was included, and was as promised in our booking, just a croissant, coffee/the and juice. But it was sufficient... More

Don't let only two-stars fool you...the rooms in Hotel Prati are extremely comfortable. If I had to guess, the hotel doesn't have three or four stars simply because it lacks unimportant amenities, such as room service and laundry service. The rooms appear to have been newly renovated. There's free wireless internet and several computers available to guests at no additional... More

My wife and I travelled to Rome for our Honeymoon and this is one of the three places that we stayed in Italy. The location of Hotel Prati was spectacular. It is just a few minutes walk from the Vatican and isn't that far from everything else. The breakfast was what we expected staying in Rome (as compared to American... More

If you are on a budget and looking for a hotel in Rome that is close to the Vatican, I recommend the Hotel Prati. Located on Via Crescenzio a tree-lined, leafy avenue, the hotel is a 10-minute walk from St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums. You can catch the local bus into other parts of Rome or walk to...

I was traveling solo in Rome at the end of a business trip and wanted to at least get a full day of sightseeing in. I was not interested in frills, or a lot of services, just in having a good place to stay. At check-in I found the front desk staff to be friendly, and they were kind when... More
