Location, staff and breakfast make this a must

Great place to stay in Rome. Super convenient to walk to all main attractions, the furthest being the coliseum and that's only 20-25 minutes walk. Staff is incredibly helpful and shower pressure is awesome and very hot water. The included breakfast is so so delightful as well.

We had an amazing stay! We loved how fresh and clean the room was along with the proximity to all of the main sights of the city. It is a great place for people with children or couples that need a relaxing getaway. The breakfast was simple yet delicious (especially the juices and yogurt!) delivered right to your room. I will recommend this place to everyone no exaggeration!

Wonderful B&B near the Vatican

Wonderful B&B with an excellent location in Rome. Matteo was a great host - super helpful and responsive. The room is spacious, recently renovated, and very clean with a comfortable bed. We really liked the breakfast in our room concept. There are many very good restaurants and cafes nearby. We would highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Rome.

Fantastic room

Family of 4 from Norway stayed 5 nights. The room nr 6 exceeds most 4-stars (or even some 5*). Breakfast is served in the room at time of choice and the staff was attentive and friendly at all times. Location is great, just 8-10 min walk to the main shopping street, and 15-25 min to all main attractions. This is our new spot when in Rome. Highly recommended.

Best experience

We had a great stay at SM Vatican Relais for 3 day on jan 2022. Location is perfect to reach main areas by foot, room is newly decorated/modern design and very clean, owners of the hotel are helpful (for everything- even offering local gastronomic spots). Comparing to a named med-big size hotel chain, i can easily tell that this boutique environment was far better into all extents. Keep going Matteo and the crew!
