Starhotels Michelangelo - Rome 41.8998, 12.45419

A relatively quiet area but very close to all major attractions. This is my 4th visit to Rome and with tube/bus I have never been better placed for exploring whist maintining a quiet location.

Friendly staff; great breakfast; comfortable room, although too warm at night and could do with a lick of paint. The ambiance was very friendly and the front desk was knowledgeable and patient. Use a little italian, and you get a lot of help!

Very good hotel. Excellent service in the bar, restaurant and front desk. Very well positioned for visits to St Peter's and The Vatican. Good food, All round good place to stay in Rome.

Close to vatican and open-top bus tor terminus: breakfast poor: no choice certainly don't cater for us Brits!!!not even a toaster! and no tea /coffee making facilities inroom!!! Shower on wall with curtain from ceiling meant water everywhere!!! Staff....just managed to smile! Don't think this hotel deserves a 4 star rating!

Overall a very good hotel and suited our needs to explore Rome, especially the Vatican area which is with minutes of the hotel. Dinner menu very expensive and not alot of decent places in area to eat out, so found had to use taxis alot to go further a field, which were not expensve and the hotel was happy to order it for you. Miad service in room and the little extras in the room were excellant.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days over Christmas. The rooms are a good size and clean but slightly worn, not very upscale and the front desk staff was not responsive to requests for restaurant recommendations, directions, etc. However the location was great, particularly over Christmas.

This hotel was in a great location for exploring Rome. Staff was extremely attentive. Breakfast was included and outstanding compared to what you expect in USA. The room was excellent, and the bar was a nice cozy place to relax after a day of sightseeing.

Great hotel and a nice neighborhood. Stores, restaurants, and pubs within a block or two. Very popular with tour groups so you will see lots of guests come and go. Breakfast is wonderful. Eggs, bacon, juice, cereals, fresh fruit, fruit trays, ham, cheese, breads, coffee, tea, etc. This was our main meal of the day. Bus 64 stops about two blocks away and offers easy transportation into the city center and the train station. The hotel offers wireless but it is provided by a third party for 10Euros an hour or 17Euros a day. Not worth it. Some restaurants and pubs within two blocks offer free WiFi and I did my email while eating and drinking coffee. The hotel lists wireless for a fee... The staff is very helpful and arranged a reservation for the Borghese Museum without charging for the service. Overall I would easily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Rome.

Of all the hotels we've stayed around St, Peter's, we really loved this hotel. Not only is it close to St. Peter's, but its very close to major bus stops. The service was great and the breakfast was beautiful and quite substantial. We will definitely return to this location.

Cons: - air conditioner did not work - sliding door did not lock - mold and water damage on the ceiling - when you sat on the toilet your legs were under the sink. - maid did not clean the toilet - only replaced the towels - when we arrived in our taxi nobody came out to help with the bags - mattress was so hard it was like sleeping on a piece of plywood Pros: - Great breakfast

Staff was friendly and very helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable although the shower configuration allowed water to flow onto the bathroom floor. Good location, just a 5 minute walk to the Vatican.

No question we would stay in that hotel again. A couple of blocks from the Vatican and St. Peter's Square. Bus stop a block away to all turist atractions in the city. Breakfast was always good and abundant. Super market nearby. La Vittoria restaurant one block away was excellent.

Having stayed in Rome several times before I wanted something closer to the Vatican as this visit was to include both the Vatican & Scavi tours. The Starhotels Michelangelo was the perfect location for our needs.

We were extremely pleased with the StarHotels Michelangelo. The room was well appointed and the bed very comfortable. They also served a wonderful buffet breakfast which was included in the cost of the room. We were able to walk everywhere from this hotel.

The people at the front desk were very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Otherwise, the room itself and the hotel were showing signs of wear. They had a huge buffet-style breakfast and it was pretty picked through when we got there halfway through the time frame it was offered. Dirty plates and pretty bad service there. Very close to the Vatican if that's what you're interested in seeing, but not a very exciting neighborhood in the immediate area around the hotel. I wouldn't recommend this hotel necessarily, but wouldn't tell someone not to stay there if that makes any sense.

Our fourth visit to this hotel - we like the closeness to the Vatican and the lovely neighborhood restaurants. Great bust stops around the corner.

Hotel was clean and comvenient to surrounding attractions. Staff was very helpful. Beds were not very comfortable. The sunk in the middle.

The hotel is in excellent location for Vactican City. Breakfast was great. The room was clean, a few mold spots in the shower. Very quiet.

This is a nice hotel in a quiet area. The walls of the room were a little scuffed up and the shower is mounted in the wrong place in the tub. The breakfast is adequate but not outstanding. The hotel is located very close to the Vatican. If you walk through the square and up a couple of blocks there is a subway station that allows you access to the sites in Rome. There is a small pizzeria just up the road from the hotel that is outstanding. Overall I was very pleased with the hotel and the room. I had to make a short call back to the states and it only cost 90 cents.

Truly just a few minutes walk to Vatican. Location can't be beat. Free breakfast was bountiful and much more than I expected. Staff were all super friendly and spoke English. If I am lucky enough to go back to Rome some day, I will stay at the Michelangelo hotel again. Only suggestion I have for improvement is to install safes in rooms. Travelers appreciate that. Otherwise, awesome hotel.

Enjoyed our stay at the Michaelangelo. The location was perfect. Being so very close to Vatican city was a real treat. The hop on hop off bus was very close by and that made it very easy for us to get around to the other wonderful sites in Rome. The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was well prepared and pleantiful. Will stay here again when in Rome.

Stayed at this hotel for one night because we wanted to be close to the Vatican. Service was excellent and the room very comfortable. Full size bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a normal size. Very close to the Vatican so its very convenient if you want to take an early tour. Free breakfast was what you would expect..nothing fancy. I would definitely stay here again. Beware of taxi drivers trying to rip you off...make sure they use the meter...from the Termini the price should be about $15 euros...not $25 like some will quote you.

Nice hotel with a great location next to the Vatican. Hotel staff were very helpful and food in their restaurant was good. The room was larger than most in Europe, but the beds are not the most comfortable. Overall, a very nice place to stay.

Nice lobby. Our room was in need of refurbishing. It was in the old part of the hotel. Convenient to Vatican but not to other places of interest. 45 minutes from airport; fifteen minutes from main train station by cab.

The hotel is close to the Vatican, restaurants and shops. Although the room decor was outdated and the walls could use fresh paint, the room was clean and the beds were okay. For the convenience of being within walking distance to the Vatican, restaurants and shops, I would stay here again.

It's kind of a hidden treasure we found on a previous trip. Literally right outside the Vatican wall..you can see the Vatican from the front door. The hotel is on the opposite side of the vatican so it's a hidden treasure. All the hustle and bustle goes the other way. The outside doesn't do it justice. The rooms are really nice! The most comfortable beds we have ever slept on! If you are looking for a hotel near the Vatican and blocks from the subway, check it out.

Front desk was the WORST attitudes i have ever experienced. the internet was AWEFUL. the TV was TERRIBLE. the electricity kicked the breakers everytime we plugged something in. i will NEVER stay in a Star Hotel again. PERIOD! the only thing that was good was the maid service. Definately NOT a 4 star hotel. 2 at best.

I'd stay at the Michelangelo again. Quick walk to the Vatican, restaurants and public transportation. Room was large enough for two adults, big bathroom that was spotless. Breakfast was included and more than could have been expected. Bedroom needed updating-ceiling and walls had spots, but beds were comfortable.

This hotel was perfect for our needs. We stayed in 4 different cities in Italy and this hotel had, by far, the most spacious rooms. We rented the room with 2 queen beds. They were very comfortable, there was a large bathroom and plenty of space in the room itself. The hotel was very quiet at night as was the surrounding neighborhood. It's within walking distance to St. Peters Basilica (2 minute walk), Vatican City (10 minute walk) and other sites. There is an AMAZING gelato place around the corner called Capitan Cono...you MUST go! The staff was friendly, one employee was a little less on the cheerful side, but nothing that ruined our stay. The continental breakfast did not have that great of a selection, but that was expected. The No. 64 bus is right around the corner which takes you to the Colosseum, The Forum, Rome Train station, etc. Very easy to get to and super convenient to be by this train. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I get the chance to experience Rome again!

The hotel was about a 5 minute walk from St. Peter's Square. If your trip is going to center around visiting the Vatican, this is the perfect location. We were able to hop out of the hotel and walk right over to St. Peter's square avoiding crowded buses, cabs (which can get pricey), etc. There are a few restaurants walking distance, decently priced. You can get onto several of the tour hop on/hop off buses from St. Peter's square so it's very easy to tour the main sites within the rest of Rome. Taxi ride to/from the train station is about 10-15 euros. You can arrange a car with the hotel to/from the airport for 47 euros, which is the same price as a cab ride to/from the airport. The room was a very nice size with great down comforters and your choice of 3 different types of pillows for comfort. Very clean, roomy, and a balcony view of the St. Peter's Dome. We would absolutely stay here again. A great price as well!!

Hotel had Air Conditioning, but it wasn't turned on. Opend windows OK, but maid service closed the windows, so when you returned to your room it was hot.

Starhotels Michaelangelo is literally within steps of the Vatican, and that was the reason we selected it. The hotel staff are very knowlegable and professional but also showed kindess to us as American tourists who don't speak Italian. The rooms were spotless and modern and were of reasonable size, particularly for the City Center of Rome. Bathrooms were far above average, especially for Europe. Excellent Value and Excellent Service. This place would be my first pick for my next visit to The Eternal City.

The Air Conditioning was turned off every night. In order to keep cool at night we kept the window open, but then we had to listen to street noise.

Overall, a very nice hotel right next to Vatican/St. Peter's Square. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Hotel was clean. Room was very comfortable, bed/pillows also comfortable. The breakfast buffet served was adeqaute but not excellent. Also, it was quite a walk to other sites in Rome, however, there is a bus that is conviently located that takes you there. Food from the restuarant/room service, food was generally very good, slightly pricey. Also, I'd advise not to use the mini bar, as they charge generously for beverages such as water, soda and a bill can rapidly grow.

Right outside the Vatican. Nice hotel with good amenities and breakfast. The location is super!

While this hotel is a hop, skip to the Vatican, the first room we were given (1) allowed for no movement; (2) was old and dirty. We were given a second remodeled room, but it was on the street and therefore noisy. We are convinced that the air conditioning is turned off during the night since the room became very warm. The hotel also gets our vote for worst beds. We turned the mattresses and found the pillow top was on the bottom. Turning did not help.

Located very close to St. Peter's square, 1 1/2 blocks from bus stop. Great location in a residential area. Quite a few cafe's and gelato/snack bars a block away. Small grocery store less than a half a block away. Great breakfast was included. Hotel staff was very professional. We had a great stay. Loved the view from our balcony.

Located literally outside of Vatican city, about a brisk 20-30 minute walk to Piazza Navona, Trevi, Forum, etc. We walked everywhere. Felt safe around the neighborhood, even late at night. Nearby hotel, we didn't find great places to eat. Better places to eat require some planning, since they're about 20-30 mins walk. We were on 1st floor facing alley way which can be noisy if you're a light sleeper. A couple of times, the bathroom had a funny smell (like stagnant water) which we resolved by putting a towel over the floor drain. The service was very friendly, professional and attentive. We were helped with a last-minute tour and transportation back to the airport. Many at the front desk spoke English, which is especially helpful since we don't know Italian.

Just 2 blocks from Vatican City in very nice neighborhood. Rooms are very large and baths are modern. Breakfast included w/room is excellent. All personnel are helpful and friendly. We WILL stay here again.
