I had a pretty good time at Hotel Relais Dei Papi. The location is fantastic since it's close to the Vatican and other major sights, making it super easy to walk around. The staff, especially Giuseppe, were incredibly friendly and helpful, which really made my stay pleasant. My only gripes were that the room was a tad small and the breakfast area felt a bit cramped, but overall, it was a solid experience.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Relais Dei Papi, thanks to its excellent location and friendly staff. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views over Rome, which I greatly enjoyed during sunset. However, my room was a bit small for three, and there were some issues with air conditioning that impacted comfort.

The hotel had a unique retro lift that added charm to the experience. However, some facilities like the gym felt too small, and the spa was not worth the cost. Wi-Fi was reliable, which I appreciated for planning my day.

I had a decent stay at Hotel Relais Dei Papi with its fantastic location near the Vatican and charming, eclectic decor. However, I faced a few downsides like the breakfast quality and a few minor issues with my room. The staff were helpful, but I did find some aspects of the room less than ideal, like the shower situation.

The breakfast could have been much better; I only found croissants and toast edible after opting out of the other options that included stale milk and unappetizing hot items.

The hotel had a charming rooftop area with great views, but it didn't serve food or drinks up there. The tiny antique elevator added character, although it might not suit everyone's taste.
