Fragrance Hotel St. Peter

“Beautiful view of St Peter's Basilica ❤️”

Lovely hotel with very welcoming staff.Rooms were spacious and modern, breakfast was amazing plenty of choice and a beautiful view of St Peter's Basilica ❤️ Great location but very hilly so not for non-abled walkers, supermarket at bottom of hill and plenty cafes and restaurants nearby 🇮🇹

Hotel itself was lovely. Very clean and staff on reception very friendly and happy to give advice/recommendations. The only thing I would say is it is a little out of the way if you're in Rome for a very short break like us (2 nights). You can get to and from the airport and central Rome using public transport (916 bus) but we found it alot easier and time saving by using taxis. (€55 to and from airport and €16 to centre of Rome) Also there is a steepish hill to get from the bus stop up to the hotel if you're not great on your legs, definitely something to consider. The room was a good size and clean. Bed reasonably comfortable. Bathroom decent size and clean. We was on the 4th floor and the breakfast is served on the 5th from 7am so the noise of plates and chairs etc did wake me but I managed to get back off to sleep thanks to the exhaustion of walking round Rome! Still not ideal though. Overall, alot cheaper than a hotel in city centre but be prepared to travel abit or pay for taxis. Hope that helps x

“Very disappointed by what I thought would be a good hotel.”

This is one of the highest rated hotels in the area, as such I expected a little more, I was a little disappointed in all honesty, lets start with the positives Firstly the hotel is well located, theres a few little restaurants close by and some of them are absolutely great, its also about 10 minute walk away from the Vatican and about 5 minute walk away from the local train station, so its very easy to get to where you need to go without much effort. The rooftop bar is lovely, albeit a little expensive and the breakfast room has a pretty good view. Last positive, the staff were extremely friendly, they were knowledgeable about the area and made an effort, well all but one, she seemed pretty miserable but maybe just having a bad day. Now the negatives, the rooms are very dated and are not very well kept, we had a broken toilet seat, a bathroom door that wouldn't lock and the tap for the bath just came off, all of these were reported but nothing was done about any of them, the aircon was archaic, it was set to one temperature and we couldn't change it even if we played with the settings. Whenever someone in an adjoining room would flush their toilet a loud prolonged noise would rattle through the system and would continue for about 10 minutes, I'm guessing water being pumped throughout, fine during the day, not fine at 5am when you're trying to sleep, its so loud that I put a pillow over my head and that still didn't come close to drowning it out, it woke up all three of us and we struggled to get back to sleep because of how long it lasted. Lastly, we thought we would have a double bed and two singles, being a quadruple room, the double was basically two single camp beds pushed together with a double sheet put over the top, not level at all and if you tried to lie in the middle it would push the beds apart, so you'd be left with a little gap and a sinking feeling. Overall I probably wouldn't stay here again, it was fine for what it was but I wouldn't walk into all this again knowing what I know now.
